To prevent bridging of fibrous powder materials in the screw feeder hopper, we have decided to install this bridge breaker. The bridge breaker features a rubber disk that is normally (when air is OFF) in close contact with the inner wall of the hopper, but when air is ON, this rubber disk slightly lifts away from the inner wall, allowing air to be injected through the gap. Simultaneously, the elastic disk vibrates, and through these actions, we were able to easily resolve the bridging of the materials. 【Overview】 (Mounting Location) - Powder hoppers in manufacturing plants for ceramics, tiles, etc. (Hopper Overview) - Dimensions: 800×1400, two sides inclined at 1400 width, with the 800 width side vertical and a screw feeder at the bottom. (Mounting Location and Number of Installations) - A total of 6 units, 3 on each 1400 width side: all at the same height. (Controller and Operating Sequence) - A controller with 4 built-in solenoid valves is used: 4 output air lines. - 2 blow disks are installed for each output air line, with 2 blow disks sequentially turned ON at 3 locations. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog for further information.

The high moisture content of the granulated material caused bridging at the hopper outlet, but the installation of the Brody Disk and Brody Disk Mini resolved the issue. Initially, you were using an overseas vibrator (air ball type), which was effective but occasionally caused bridging, leading you to contact us. 【Overview】 (Usage Conditions) ○ About the Hopper → Top: 800φ, Outlet: 80φ, Angle of repose: approximately 60° ○ Raw Material → Particle size: approximately 5φ, Moisture content: over 20% ○ Installation Position and Model → The risk of blockage is highest just above the outlet, so two Brody Disk Minis were installed in this location (75mm above the hopper wall from the outlet). → Due to the hopper's radius in this location, a Brody Disk cannot be installed; only Brody Disk Minis can be used. → It is preferable to install close to the outlet, so Brody Disk Minis were chosen. → Two Brody Disks were installed approximately 150mm above the Brody Disk Minis along the hopper wall. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog to view.

This is a bridge prevention measure for cement and aggregates. Originally, it was implemented to prevent bridging caused by vibrations (which occasionally led to discharge troubles), but since the introduction of the blow disk a few years ago, discharge troubles have become nonexistent, so we continue to use this equipment. This time, blow disks have been installed in three hoppers. The blow disk releases air along the inner wall of the hopper while simultaneously vibrating a silicone disk. These actions allow the powder inside the hopper to easily fluidize, effectively resolving rat holes and bridging issues. This equipment is highly effective, easy to install, and economical! We encourage you to give it a try. 【Hopper Overview】 - Hopper diameter: 900φ, discharge diameter: 150φ, number of hoppers: 3 *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog to view.

The introduction of this bridge prevention device has been implemented in the hopper section of the storage silo for powdered activated carbon. There is a vibrating discharge device at the bottom of the silo, and it is installed in the hopper section above it. Eight standard blow discs are installed, and the controller, which contains four solenoid valves, sequentially turns on the air in four locations, dividing the blow discs into pairs. The blow discs intermittently flow air along the inner surface of the silo. This air aeration, along with the vibrations generated by the silicone discs, ensures a reliable flow of the powder. It is possible to easily resolve issues related to the rat hole phenomenon and discharge failures caused by bridging in the powder. 【Overview】 ○ Silo diameter: 3000φ ○ Discharge rate: approximately 5 m³/hr ○ Chemical name, etc.: powdered activated carbon (moisture content below 5%, apparent specific gravity of about 0.2) *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog to view.

We would like to introduce a case where our "Brodisk" was delivered to a manufacturer that produces powder-related equipment. This was a project for a new customer, who requested, "The material frequently causes rat holes, so we would like you to take sufficient measures." To ensure thoroughness, we installed a total of 8 units in 2 tiers, with 4 units for this hopper. During the on-site trial operation, there were no troubles at all, and we received positive feedback. Since our product is an economical device, increasing the number of installations does not significantly impact the total cost. In this case, the controller remains the same whether 4 or 8 units are installed, so the cost difference between 4 and 8 units is not substantial. Therefore, it is very rational. [Overview] - Material: Calcium Carbonate - Hopper Diameter: 1500φ - Discharge Section: 200A *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous examples of implementations.

We would like to introduce a case where we adopted a solution to improve the issue of unstable discharge from the screw at the bottom of a gently sloped hopper. Since it is a conical hopper, it is common to install one standard Brody disk "BD-15" on each side for a hopper of this size (a total of four). Additionally, the installation locations are centered on the left and right of each side. However, in this case, the number of installations remains the same (four), but the installation locations have been moved closer to the corners of the hopper. By doing this, it is possible to reduce the risk of material remaining in the four corners of the hopper. [Overview] ■ Material: Synthetic mica powder ■ Hopper size: 800×800 ■ Discharge section: 300×300 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous examples of implementations.

This is a case where there was a large amount of retention and a long retention time in the dust collector hopper, leading to the occurrence of bridging. In the case of a dust collector hopper of approximately 2000 square units, it is common to install 8 "blow disks," but since there are cases where retention is allowed up to about 2/3 of the hopper capacity, 12 disks were installed instead. After implementation, there were no occurrences of bridging, and the time required for discharge was also reduced. 【Overview】 ■ Hopper size: 2000×2000 ■ Discharge outlet: 250 square units ■ Target material: Water treatment chemicals ■ A total of 3 disks were installed: 1 near the discharge outlet on each side and 2 above that ■ A controller with 6 solenoid valves was used to sequentially turn on air in time intervals, with 2 blow disks at 6 locations *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous implementation examples, which can be checked via the link below.

This is a case where we were consulted about occasional bridging occurring in the hopper of the quantitative feeder in the drying equipment for wood chip Kiriko. After reviewing the material sample, we determined that there was no significant risk based on our experience. As usual, we provided the customer with recommendations for the selection and arrangement of the "Blow Disk" model, and it was implemented promptly. After the installation of this equipment, bridging did not occur even with changes in seasons or other conditions, and it was evaluated that workers no longer needed to stir with a stick from the manhole.

This is an introduction to a matter that was initially addressed through a phone call from a representative of a factory that manufactures resin products for medical and industrial use. It was indicated that sending material samples to our company was not possible, so we lent them the BroaDisk "BD-15S-W." They have adopted this equipment after confirming its performance. Our company regularly provides assistance with selecting the appropriate model of BroaDisk and its arrangement according to the user's situation, as well as lending products. 【Case Study】 <Problem Details and Conditions> ■ Color masterbatch pellets containing surfactants are causing bridging. ■ Raw Material Overview: Size is approximately 2mm x 2mm x 3mm, tends to clump when gripped. ■ Hopper Size: 400 x 400 (only one of the four sides has a gentle slope). ■ Hopper Discharge Section: 40φ <After Implementation> ■ Installed one standard BroaDisk on the gentle side. ■ Increased air pressure slightly to about 0.5Mpa, with intermittent operation of air ON for a short time. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies, which can be accessed via the link below.

This is a hopper for suction transport, and there was suction from the bottom of the tank to a diagonal upward pipe. I would like to introduce a case where we received a consultation regarding a bridge occurring in this hopper. This user had previously adopted a "Blow Disk" for another piece of equipment and was familiar with our device, so we only proposed the model and layout for this issue. By installing a "Blow Disk Mini" near the suction port at the bottom of the tank and a "Blow Disk" in the center of the hopper, the bridge was resolved.

This is a case where we were consulted about a situation where a fusuma (sliding door) got stuck in the chute section of a screw conveyor, causing the level gauge to malfunction. We were asked if there was anything that could be done. Since fusuma can indeed be troublesome, we decided to lend them a product for testing. The sticking started about 200mm from the bottom of the level gauge, so we installed the product in that area and conducted a test. The results were good! They adopted it immediately. Additionally, they later introduced a controller for automation.

This is an introduction to a case study implemented as a countermeasure for the issue where "wood powder" accumulates on the walls of the dust collector hopper and occasionally falls in clumps, causing the discharge rotary valve to stop. A total of 12 standard blow disks, three on each side, were installed. By using a controller with six solenoid valves, the blow disks are divided into six locations and sequentially air-jet two at a time, effectively resolving this issue. This product ejects air in a 360° direction along the inner wall of the hopper from the periphery of the elastic disks set on the inner surface of the hopper, thereby easily eliminating the accumulation of wood powder on the hopper walls in this case. [Overview] ■ Dust collector hopper dimensions: 2000×2000 ■ Discharge section: 150□ *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies.

Here is an introduction to a case study on bridge prevention using a relatively small hopper. The material is said to be an elastomer powder, and from what I saw of the sample, it contained a significant amount of powder. Since a test was requested, we lent the necessary quantity of our equipment for the experiment. The results were as expected, and the bridge was resolved immediately. In this case, we installed one Brodie disk (BD-15) on each of the three inclined surfaces, for a total of three. The three disks are turned ON and OFF simultaneously using the controller (C-SV1). [Hopper Conditions] ■ Size: 200×500 ■ Shape: Three inclined surfaces, one vertical ■ Discharge: 40φ from the lower end of the vertical surface *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies.

Regarding the new material, we consulted about bridge measures as we are newly manufacturing the hopper. This is a case where we were contacted because they want to adopt our equipment, as the material is finer than conventional materials and the hopper discharge diameter is also small. For a hopper with a diameter of about 600mm, it is common to install 2 to 3 blow discs (standard type: BD-15), but in this case, in addition to 2 standard types, we installed 2 "blow disc minis" nearby due to the relatively small discharge diameter of 80mm. After installation, we received feedback that "no troubles have occurred at all, and it is operating smoothly." 【Overview】 ■ Hopper diameter: 600mm ■ Hopper discharge diameter: 80mm ■ Material name: Talc ■ Material particle size: D50 of single-digit microns ■ Material apparent specific gravity: approximately 0.3 for loose, 0.5 for compact ■ Material angle of repose: about 40° *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies.

This is a case where the crushing conditions provided by the crusher manufacturer became more detailed, leading to the occurrence of the rat hole phenomenon inside the hopper, and they consulted us saying, "There's nothing we can do!" This time, we installed a solution for the rat hole in the product receiving hopper (250φ) at the bottom of the cyclone. By changing the height and installing three Brody Disk Minis in this hopper, the problem was resolved. 【Equipment Flow】 ■ Crusher → Collection Cyclone → Bottom Hopper of Cyclone → Rotary Valve 【Key Points of This Equipment】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of strength and durability due to the risk of foreign material contamination. The silicone disk of this equipment is exceptionally strong and durable. Once you use it, you will understand! ■ Control (how to aerate?) is crucial! We provide guidance on what should be done.

This is an inquiry we received from a repeat customer regarding bridging issues with film grinding products. Film grinding products can be troublesome, and since we were unable to see a sample this time, we suggested considering four Brodie disks (BD-15), which are somewhat over-spec for an 800mm hopper, along with a controller (with four built-in solenoid valves). Ultimately, they decided to use three Brodie disks and a controller (with one built-in solenoid valve), which seemed to carry some risk, but it worked out well. From the perspective of preventing bridging, a larger discharge diameter is always better.

This is a case adopted by a factory primarily engaged in the manufacturing of refractory materials. The hopper in question has a sufficiently large discharge area, and while bridging does not occur, there was an issue with residual material in the four corners due to its square shape. Based on past experience, we advised installing the equipment closer to each corner, and it was set up accordingly. After implementation, the user has reported that they are now able to discharge the entire amount. 【Overview】 ■ Target hopper: Weighing hopper ■ Hopper shape size: Square, 1000×1000 ■ Hopper discharge area size: 300×300 ■ Target material: Mixtures including calcium hydroxide *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies.

This is a case where a Brodie disk was installed in the hopper of a powder processing test device at a chemical company. The material being processed was quite fine and had poor flowability, and the discharge from the hopper was through a butterfly valve, which contributed to bridging issues. The discharge diameter was relatively small, making it crucial to address this area first. Therefore, two Brodie disk minis were installed in this vicinity. Additionally, two Brodie disks were installed above, resolving the problem. However, later on, the processed materials varied greatly, and some of them had a low specific gravity and were prone to scattering. To suppress dust dispersion, a controller with four solenoid valves was introduced.

This is an inquiry regarding a solution for coffee powder bridging during shooting. Due to its oily nature, it tends to cling easily, and this has been a long-standing issue. Initially, there was a request for an independent solution, so we lent out one sample of our equipment. However, this did not lead to a resolution, and later, multiple units were added, which were evaluated positively for solving the problem. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Blow Disc: BD-15S-W, multiple units 【Key Points of Our Equipment】 ■ The elastic disc (silicone) is very important in terms of the risk of foreign material contamination, as well as strength and durability.
