This is a case study of measures taken to prevent bridging in a mixture of powder A and powder B. Powder A has an average particle diameter of about 3 μm, while powder B is coarse. There are several mixing ratios, but in many cases, bridging does not occur with the installation of partition plates in the hopper. However, when the proportion of powder A exceeds a certain level, bridging could not be resolved with partition plates or vibrators. We reviewed the powder samples and hopper diagrams, and based on our past experience, we suggested arrangements. We lent out samples, and the customer made the decision to implement them. The results were favorable, and bridging no longer occurred even with very fine powder A alone. [Case Overview] ■ Hopper Size: 800 (inclined surface) × 500 (vertical surface) ■ Arrangement: 2 breeding disks installed per inclined surface, totaling 4 disks ■ Control: 4 breeding disks controlled by controller C-SV1 *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We installed a total of four standard Brodisks, varying the height with two units each. 【Case Overview】 ■ Target Equipment: Dust Collector ■ Target Material: Name undisclosed (a fibrous fine powder that feels solid when gripped) ■ Hopper Diameter: Φ650 ■ Discharge Diameter: 150A ■ Hopper Inclination: 65 degrees ■ User Industry: General Chemicals 【Key Points of This Equipment】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of foreign matter contamination risk, as strength and durability are crucial. The silicone disks in our equipment excel in strength and durability. We believe you will understand this once you use it! ■ Control (how to aerate?) is important! We provide guidance on what should be done. We also have a dedicated controller available. *Please feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where our "Brodisk" was adopted. "There is already an air rater (metal mesh type) installed as a bridge countermeasure in the hopper for sludge incineration ash. However, due to poor discharge, we would like to leave the existing air rater as is and add the Brodisk," was the inquiry we received. After receiving information from the customer regarding the hopper diagram, the type and arrangement of the existing air rater, and the contents, we provided recommendations for the model and arrangement of the Brodisk. After installation, the plant has been operating without any issues. 【Case Overview】 ■ Hopper dimensions: 2500×2500 ■ Discharge section dimensions: 300×300 ■ Contents: Sludge incineration ash, bulk density 0.5-0.6 ■ Existing equipment: Bin flow ■ Our equipment arrangement: 12 units installed in total, with 1 unit on the lower level and 2 units on the upper level per side *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where our "Brodisk" has been adopted. This customer (plant) has experienced troubles with other air relators in the past and is currently using our product continuously. In exhaust gas treatment systems, many customers are using it in silos containing quicklime, activated carbon, and baking soda. Since these systems rarely have the silos emptied, the durability of the elastic disk in our equipment is crucial. [Case Overview] ■Silo Diameter: Ø2000 ■Discharge Port Diameter: Ø300 ■Hopper Inclination Angle: 67° ■Discharge Amount: Several 10 Kg/h ■Contents: Activated Carbon + Quicklime *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study where our "Brodisk" was adopted. The user consulted us, stating that loading from the dust storage silo to the jet pack vehicle was taking a long time, and they wanted to address this issue with our product (to shorten the time). This user already had multiple instances of our equipment in place, but after discussions regarding the layout and control, they decided to adopt our solution. 【Case Overview】 ■ Target Material: Collected Dust ■ Target Tank: Large Conical Storage Tank ■ Layout Overview: Approximately the lower half of the conical section 1 unit on the lower level, 2 units on the middle level, and 3 units on the upper level (total of 6 units) A total of 24 units installed 【Key Points of Our Equipment】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of strength and durability, especially considering the risk of foreign material contamination. Our silicone disks are exceptionally strong and durable. Once you use them, you will understand! ■ Control (how to aerate?) is crucial! We provide guidance on what should be done. We also have a dedicated controller available. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of our "Brodisk" installation. The background is that the customer stated, "We are using a vibration discharge device and metal mesh aeration for bridge prevention in an existing silo, but the aeration is not effective," and they decided to replace it with our equipment. As a result, the customer requested that our device be positioned where the previous aeration was located. After confirming the details and determining that there were no issues, they proceeded with the installation. The equipment has been operating without any problems since then. 【Case Overview】 ■ Target Material: Wood-based powdered activated carbon (Density: approx. 0.4) ■ Configuration: A total of 6 units installed at 60° intervals on the upper hopper of the vibration discharge device, all on the same circumference. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
