Problem: In an effort to produce a better quality product, a major international paint and coatings manufacturer needed to use a new grade of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2). A test of the material showed that the new grade of TiO2 presented flow problems not previously encountered...
Problem: Moist sand was sticking and bridging above pant-leg outlets of bin at Service Concrete, an Oakridge, N.J. readymix concrete plant, causing lengthy delays in batching and filling of transit-mix trucks. Vibrators and manual jogging of gates did not prove effective.Descargar PDF...
The Proof is in the Flow! Bulk solid materials, whether powdery or granular, can form blockages such as bridging and ratholing in processing vessels, restricting flow and decreasing production. A leading processor of alumina-based industrial minerals used in the refractory and abrasive product industries experienced...
Fly Ash Use in Ready-Mix Cement To produce a higher grade of cement, ready-mix plants often mix fly ash into their product. Used as a catalyst and filler in the ready-mix, the fly ash produces concrete that hardens well and resists cracking. The same characteristics...
A large U.S. manufacturer of food, food ingredients and flavor products uses ribbon blenders for custom blending of ingredient batches. Each batch must contain specific amounts of ingredients such as spices and other seasonings to comply with the customer's proprietary recipes. To clean the blenders...
Many ingredients in the food processing industry are prone to bridging, clinging and clogging because of the high oil or moisture content. The stagnant material slows down production, compromises a company’s recipe, and can even cause cross-batch contamination.Descargar PDF...
A major electric utility’s coal-fired plant in the Midwest needed to meet Federal emissions standards while keeping power output maximized.Descargar PDF...
For pet food manufacturers, avoiding cross-contamination is central to their production process. Bulk material flow problems such as ratholing, bridging and other material blockages decrease flow through a process system which can contribute to possible cross contamination.Descargar PDF...
To produce cement, materials like shale, limestone, pyrite and sand are ground into a fine powder then funneled into a silo before being fed into a kiln. One of the biggest building supplies and cement manufacturers in the Philippines, with factories all over the country,...
