This is a case consulted by a representative from the manufacturing department of a pharmaceutical company. They were using a funnel attached to a raw material drum to invert and transfer the contents into another container, but they encountered a bridging issue where the powder would not flow out. Even hitting the funnel from the outside with a plastic hammer had no effect. We installed a total of four Brodie Disks of the "BD-15 type" in two tiers. Aeration was to be performed manually by turning on the air during the transfer. As a result, the customer's issue was resolved immediately. Since this case involved manual operation, the cost was minimal, only for the Brodie Disks. [Case Summary] ■ Consultation Details - They were using a funnel attached to a raw material drum to invert and transfer the contents into another container, but the funnel caused bridging, preventing the powder from flowing out. - Hitting the funnel from the outside with a plastic hammer had no effect at all. ■ Key Points - The name and properties of the contents are confidential, but they are very non-flowable (with a significantly high angle of repose). - The funnel's angle is a gentle 45°. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We received an inquiry regarding a φ1500 resin chip tank, where fine powder adheres to the cylindrical part above the material input level and the upper lid. When this powder grows and suddenly falls, it causes issues in subsequent processes, so they would like to try a blow disk. The user's request was to 'install a few as a test on a part of the upper lid,' but since the conditions are worse in the cylindrical part, we recommended installing a few there for testing. As a result, it was determined that there was no longer any growth of adhesion at the installation site, which was deemed satisfactory. The range will remain confidential as it pertains to the user's know-how. [Customer Inquiry Details] - In a φ1500 resin chip tank, fine powder adheres to the cylindrical part and upper lid above the material input level. - This powder grows and suddenly falls, causing issues in subsequent processes, so they would like to try a blow disk. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This is an example used by a precision parts manufacturer, where Sic powder bridges at the bottom of the hopper, prompting your inquiry. In the case of a φ600 hopper, it is common to adopt the Brodie Disk instead of the smaller Brodie Disk Mini. However, the air volume for the Brodie Disk is significantly higher compared to the Mini. Since there was a request to minimize the air volume as much as possible, we had the customer check both the Brodie Disk Mini and the Brodie Disk in person, and decided to implement the Brodie Disk Mini, which has a lower air volume. This installation consists of 8 Brodie Disk Minis, and in this case, the air volume is less than that of 2-3 Brodie Disks. 【Usage Conditions Overview】 ■ Hopper Diameter: Approximately φ600 ■ Material: Sic powder (average particle size = several micrometers) ■ Request: To use as little air as possible *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The user reported, "The fluidity is terrible, so we adopted a feeder with a mixer for the quantitative feeder part, but we are having trouble with rat holes occurring in the large hopper connected above it." The target material is a very poorly flowing fine powder, and while the substance name is undisclosed, upon reviewing the sample, it seemed to have properties similar to titanium dioxide. After reviewing the hopper diagram, the sample of the target material, and photos of the rat hole situation, we provided guidance on the arrangement and control of the blow disk, and it was adopted. I heard that the rat holes were resolved immediately after the installation of the equipment.

This is an example of how our equipment resolved issues that could not be solved by the installation of knockers and aeration (socket welding) on the bridge. The installation of the blow disk involves making holes in the hopper wall for attachment. In this case, the customer expressed, "We have tried various methods, so we absolutely do not want to fail this time." Therefore, it was decided to first test with a φ500 hopper that the customer could prepare (with holes drilled, and it was acceptable if it did not work). As a result, the discharge issues were resolved, but after discussions between the customer and our company, we concluded that it would be better to install a total of 8 blow disks of this type in 2 tiers using a φ800 hopper. The customer proceeded with this installation. The control system uses a controller (C-SV4) with 4 built-in solenoid valves to sequentially turn on the air for the 8 blow disks in pairs at 4 locations with a time delay. [Conditions] ■ Hopper diameter: φ800 ■ Discharge diameter: 150A ■ Knockers: 2 electromagnetic (before the introduction of this equipment) ■ Sockets: 4 locations (before the introduction of this equipment) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We have been adopted for a project aimed at wastewater treatment plants by a customer related to plants. The subject matter is sludge incineration ash, and the issue was that "when the remaining amount of silo contents decreased, discharge failures occurred, making it impossible to load onto trucks (troubles occurred when the remaining amount was below 20-30 tons)." Previously, a mesh-type air rater was used, and although the air pressure was increased, it did not lead to improvements, resulting in mesh damage and air leaks from the surroundings (other aeration methods were also used in conjunction). Therefore, although it is a large silo, the trouble only occurs when the powder level decreases. We positioned the equipment in three tiers near the discharge area (only the three tiers below the silo, without the fourth and fifth tiers). There are a total of 20 standard type blow discs: 4 in the bottom tier, 8 in the second tier, and 8 in the third tier. Control is managed by a controller with 10 solenoid valves built-in. The operating air pressure is set higher, and we addressed the issue by turning on the air in small increments (2 units at a time). *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We have delivered to the manufacturer of quasi-drugs. This user has already been using the Brodisk (standard specification) and has received positive feedback. This time, they consulted us about adopting the Brodisk for another manufacturing device (quasi-drug production), and we provided them with a special specification product that has a proven track record with pharmaceutical manufacturers. For a φ500 hopper, it is possible to consider installing two Brodisk units instead of the Brodisk Mini, but the user expressed a desire to minimize the amount of air used as much as possible, so we decided to install four Brodisk Mini units. The Brodisk Mini uses about 1/5 the amount of air compared to the Brodisk, meeting the conditions, and the results were satisfactory.

We received a new inquiry from a rubber product manufacturer who adopted our equipment a long time ago. In the previous project, they used the Brodie Disk Mini to prevent fine powder bridging, and it was well received. Although quite some time has passed since then, it seems they have been using the elastic disks (silicone disks) stably without any degradation or damage. This time, they consulted us because the material tends to stick to the inner surface of the hopper, and they wanted to find a solution. The effectiveness of our equipment depends on the degree of sticking (adhesion), so we first installed one Brodie Disk (standard type) on just one surface, which yielded very good results. Based on the test results, it was decided to install them on each surface. 【Overview】 ■ Material: Urethane pellets ■ Hopper dimensions: 450×450 ■ Discharge section dimensions: 100×100 ■ Transport: Blower ■ Control: To prevent adhesion, it is effective to inject air at high pressure, so the operating air pressure is set higher, and four Brodie Disks are activated one by one with a time delay. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We have adopted our BroaDisk for the renovation work of the incineration equipment. This involves the introduction of two types of silos: "Alkali Chemical Silo" and "Activated Carbon Silo." Including our products, the replacement of air rotors can only be done when the silos are empty. Therefore, since replacements cannot be done frequently, the durability of the elastic disks is extremely important. The elastic disks of this equipment (special silicone) are manufactured with a thorough focus on materials and processes to enhance durability. In this case, we provided samples of the elastic disks to the customer during the initial inquiry, which led to their adoption later. We believe that the durability of the BroaDisk has been well evaluated by the customer. Additionally, we conduct thorough evaluation tests at external organizations during the development phase. 【Introduction to Two Types of Silos】 - Alkali Chemical Silo: φ2000 (Discharge part 300A) - Activated Carbon Silo: φ1800 (Discharge part 300A) *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

As a measure to address the powder residue on the gentle slope side of the off-center hopper, it has been adopted by a chemical company. We received a call from a customer who said, "It's not working well," and when we inquired about the operating conditions, they mentioned that the air pressure was 0.1 MPa and the air ON time was about 0.5 seconds. We then advised them to first try increasing the air pressure to above 0.3 MPa and extending the air ON time to about 5 seconds. With these conditions, the problem was resolved immediately. If they need to reduce the air consumption, they will need to decrease the air pressure and ON time from these conditions. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Blowing Disk: BD-15S-W, 3 units ■ Controller: C-SV1, 1 unit *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We received an email inquiring about trying our Brodisk. As a result of our meeting, we conducted a test operation with 4 Brodisk Minis. The results were favorable, and we proceeded with the implementation. Minagi offers product rentals for both Brodisk and Brodisk Mini. We believe that this equipment has a simple structure and is significantly more effective than measures against impacts and vibrations, but placement and other conditions are also important. We can provide advice on this matter, so please feel free to consult us. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Brodisk Mini: BD-08S-W, 4 units ■ Controller: C-SV1, 1 unit *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

As a measure against titanium dioxide bridging, it has been installed in the hopper of the air transport device. According to user experience, there are no particular issues with the bottom of the hopper, which is equipped with a sintered metal mesh strainer. However, to prevent bridging in the hopper above, a blow disk has been adopted. In this case, the standard blow disk type (BD-15) is being used, but for materials with very poor fluidity, we may recommend a version with a higher air volume (BD-20). 【Product Specifications】 ■ Blow Disk: BD-15S-B x 3 ■ Controller: C-SV1 x 1 【Key Points of This Equipment】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of the risk of foreign matter contamination, as well as strength and durability.

We received an inquiry regarding the issue of the hopper of the circle feeder becoming rat-hole shaped. After you sent us a sample and we confirmed it, we determined that there is sufficient value in considering it. The user prepared a φ1000 hopper, and after installing four standard Brody disks on it and confirming the effectiveness, it was adopted for the actual machine. Additionally, we provided advice on the placement and control methods for the test machine and the actual machine. Placement is particularly important, so we welcome any inquiries you may have. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Brody Disk: BD-15S-B, 16 pieces *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This is a case you inquired about regarding measures against bridging caused by fibrous materials. After the material was introduced, bridging occurred in a short time, and despite manual hammering, there was no effect. Since hammering was ineffective, resolving the issue with a striking-type bridge breaker was difficult. Upon receiving and checking the material sample you sent, we determined it was at a level we have experienced before. After providing advice on the arrangement of the broaching disks, you implemented our recommendations. Since the installation of this equipment, no bridging has occurred. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Broaching Disks: BD-15S-W, 4 pieces ■ Controller: C-SV4, 1 unit 【Key Points of This Equipment】 ■ The elastic disks (silicone) are very important in terms of the risk of foreign material contamination, as well as strength and durability.

In the case of the customer who contacted us this time, a scraper was installed near the discharge area as a measure to improve the discharge issues from a silo containing adhesive materials. However, although no bridging occurs in that area, a rat hole develops above the scraper, which led the customer to contact us. After discussing the model and layout, the results of the implementation were as expected and satisfactory. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Brody Disk: BD-15S-B, 12 units ■ Controller: C-SV6, 1 unit 【Key Points of This Equipment】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of the risk of foreign material contamination, as strength and durability are crucial.
