0214 Preventing Blocking of Wet Powder
Introducing examples of preventing resin powder blocking inside the hopper.
We addressed an issue at a resin manufacturing company where "the resin powder was blocking in the hopper, making it impossible to extract with the twin-screw feeder." In this case, the raw material had a high moisture content, so the operating pressure was also set higher (resulting in increased air consumption). Additionally, due to the installation of multiple units (20 units), we used a controller with 10 solenoid valves to sequentially turn on the air for two units at a time. 【Flow of Problem Resolution】 1. Upon examining the raw material, we determined from experience that it was quite troublesome. → We proposed a close installation of multiple units. 2. We lent a demo unit, which was installed by the user in their existing hopper for testing. → It was found that there were areas where blocking was not resolved when the distance from the unit increased. 3. We added a "blow disk" to the initial proposal based on the user's requests. 4. The above plan was implemented. → The issue was resolved.
