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. [Overview of the hopper where the blow disk was installed this time] ■ Diameter: φ1000 ■ Bottom dimensions: approximately 500×500 ■ Height: approximately 700 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

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. [Overview of the hopper for installation] ■ Diameter: φ500 ■ Discharge section: φ150 ■ Discharge device: Special choke valve *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

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.

We received an order from a plant engineering company. In planning for a new silo, it seems that the user specified this engineering company to install our Broaddisk. This user has been using Broaddisk for some time and has a high level of trust in its effectiveness and durability. In this project, the equipment layout was discussed based on past performance, and the quantity and arrangement were decided. It has been determined that the equipment will be introduced.

This is an introduction to a case where a problem was resolved by the urgent installation of a Brodisk due to the formation of a bridge during trial operation of newly introduced equipment. As a result of consultations during the inquiry, the customer requested the urgent installation of four Brodisk (standard type: BD-15S-W), and we promptly sent them. The results of their use were excellent, leading to immediate adoption. Additionally, due to the user's circumstances, they are considering further installation of Brodisk in the future for this hopper. Currently, they are using the C-SV4 controller (which has four built-in solenoid valves) for control, and the same controller can be used if additional Brodisk are installed in the future.

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.

A blower disk has been installed to prevent residuals that occur at the discharge bridge and in the four corners of the existing dust collector.

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.

A customer who installed the Brodisk a few years ago has decided to adopt it again. The material is the same powder as last time. Upon checking the condition of the previous installation, it was found that the inner wall of the hopper around the Brodisk elastic disk had worn down, resulting in a mirror-like polished state. As a countermeasure for this issue, we have decided to install a rubber sheet approximately φ180 between the Brodisk and the inner surface of the hopper. While the inner surface of the hopper is as mentioned above, there were no issues with the elastic disk of the Brodisk or the shaft. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Brodisk: BD-15S-B x 4 ■ Controller: C-SV4 x 1 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This is a case where we were contacted because granulated sugar is bridging in the raw material hopper of the experimental equipment. The customer expressed a desire to try it immediately, so we discussed the arrangement and lent them both the BroaDisk and BroaDisk Mini.

Here is an example of implementation adopted at a resource recycling plant. The target material is crushed insulation material, but its variety and condition change daily, and there are times when bridging occurs, so we consulted on countermeasures. The hopper size is approximately 1000×1500 (the discharge section is 200×200). At the customer's request, we first decided to install 4 rental units near the discharge section for testing. As a result, it was found that adding 4 more units higher up from the initial 4 near the discharge section would be better, and ultimately, 8 blow disks were introduced. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Blow Disk: BD-15S-B, 8 units ■ Controller: C-SV4, 1 unit *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We received your consultation regarding the issues during the regular maintenance of the plant. Although there are measures in place to address bridging, such as the installation of knockers and aeration equipment, bridging is occurring further down, and you would like to resolve this during the maintenance. Currently, the bridge breaker is only located in the middle of the cone section, and there are no measures near the crucial discharge area. Therefore, we recommended and installed three Bro-Disk (BD-15) units near the discharge area. As a result, there is no longer a need for manual hammering or similar actions to eliminate bridging, and operations are proceeding smoothly. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Bro-Disk: BD-15S-B x 3 ■ Controller: C-SV1 x 1 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

You are already using BroaDisk in other material tanks. This was a consultation from a user. They requested, "The diameter of the hopper discharge section is small, causing bridging, so I would like to try the BroaDisk Mini and request to borrow the equipment." After discussing various conditions, we recommended the arrangement and quantity (4 BroaDisk Minis) and sent the equipment. As a result of the test, the clogging near the discharge section was resolved, but there were concerns about rat holes above that, and ultimately, 4 BroaDisk Minis were installed near the discharge section, with 2 BroaDisks placed above them. 【Product Specifications】 ■ BroaDisk: BD-15S-B 2 units ■ BroaDisk Mini: BD-08S-B 4 units ■ Controller: C-SV4 1 unit *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We received a request to borrow a BroaDisk from the chemical plant. Basically, the BroaDisk is a bridge breaker for bulk materials. Therefore, we explained that the final effect is something that can only be determined by trying it out, and we decided to conduct a test with a hopper of approximately 800×800. As a result, it was confirmed that air aeration with this device allows for discharge without clogging, so it will be applied to the actual hopper. 【Product Specifications】 ■ BroaDisk: BD-15S-B, 12 pieces 【Key Points of This Device】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of the risk of foreign material contamination, so strength and durability are crucial.

We received an inquiry and a request for a loan through the trading company, and it was later adopted. After your inquiry, we reviewed the hopper diagram and the sample of the target material, and provided guidance on the applicable models, quantities, and layout (arranging 4 standard Brodisks). Based on the above information, we loaned the Brodisks for testing by the user, and the results were favorable, leading to implementation. The sample was a type of powder with quite poor conditions, so for air control, it is ideal to turn on the air for each of the 4 Brodisks one at a time with a time delay. However, in the test conducted this time, it worked well even with all 4 being turned ON/OFF simultaneously. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Brodisk: BD-15S-W x 4 ■ Controller: C-SV1 x 1 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The existing silo has been modified for a change in usage, and we have adopted the BroaDisk. Originally, it was a storage tank for quicklime and activated carbon, but due to concerns about the deterioration of fluidity in future stored materials compared to the previous ones, we selected this equipment, which has been continuously adopted by your company. Both silos will be equipped with 8 units (4 units × 2 tiers), and for control, we will utilize the existing air aeration system. This customer has been using our equipment for quite some time and has great trust in its performance and durability. 【Product Specifications】 ■ BroaDisk: BD-15S-B 8 units × 2 【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.

It has been applied to the fly ash hopper. In this case, we heard from the customer that "the fluidity is worse than that of general fly ash," so the model we selected is the BD-20 type, which has a higher air volume than the standard. The customer contacted us during the trial operation, saying, "Isn't the effect of this equipment not very noticeable?" It was mentioned that it only drops with a significant impact when the air ON time is extended and the air pressure is increased. Upon checking the details, we found that the tubing distance from the air header to the blow disk was long, and a narrow tube was being used. After changing to a larger diameter tube, everything has been running smoothly without any issues. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Blow Disk: BD-20S-B, 4 units *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We are eliminating the rat hole phenomenon that occurs in the suction transport hopper for resin materials. As a countermeasure, we have installed four standard blow disks at the center (height) of the hopper cone section. Below that (above the Ø80 discharge section), we have installed two mini blow disks, which is the key point of this solution. This prepares us for the risk of blockage caused by the sudden concentration of materials at the Ø80 outlet when eliminating the rat hole. Please feel free to consult with us when needed. 【Conditions and Situation】 ■ Hopper ・Diameter: Ø600 ・Discharge diameter: Ø80 ・Inclination: 45° or less ■ Material ・Name: Acrylic resin ・Size: Granules + powder ■ Situation ・A space of approximately Ø150 to Ø200 is created below the hopper (above the Ø80 discharge section), where the rat hole phenomenon occurs. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case regarding "delivery to pharmaceutical manufacturers" handled by Minagi Co., Ltd. We received an inquiry from a customer stating that a bridge occurs in a Ø300 hopper and they wanted to verify if it could be addressed with a Brody disk. They requested to borrow our equipment for this verification. After the customer disclosed various conditions (hopper drawings and details of the items), we proposed models, configurations, and quantities, with the intention of minimizing the number of units, leading to the implementation of four proposals. [Case Summary] ■ Issue - A bridge occurs in a Ø300 hopper, and they want to verify if it can be addressed with a Brody disk. ■ Result - After disclosing various conditions, we proposed models, configurations, and quantities, resulting in the implementation of four proposals. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The equipment was installed in a container for food additives (one of many). Although the interior was polished with a #400 buff to improve sliding, it was found that the bridge could not be eliminated, so it was first installed in one of the many containers. It was discovered that the bridge could be resolved without any issues using a blow disk, and subsequently, it has been installed in all of the many containers. [Container Overview] ■ Size: Approximately 1000×1000 ■ Discharge Section: Ø200 [Number of Blow Disks Installed] ■ Per Container: 4 units [Control] ■ Controlled by a C-SV4 controller with 4 built-in solenoid valves. Although there are many containers, since there is only one discharge station, one controller is sufficient. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We received an inquiry from a customer who wants to install our equipment near the discharge area of a large tank. (Based on the user's experience, they believe this measure alone is sufficient.) After discussing various conditions, we provided a recommended layout and proceeded with the installation, and we have received high praise for being able to discharge in a shorter time than before. 【User Conditions】 ■ Target Material: Silica sand (specific gravity: 1.7, size: approximately 1mm average, moisture: a few percent) ■ Hopper Inclination: Approximately 50° ■ Discharge Diameter: Ø200 【Layout and Quantity】 ■ Installed 4 units in 2 tiers at varying heights near the discharge area. 【Key Points of Our Equipment】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of the risk of foreign material contamination, as strength and durability are crucial. The silicone disk of our equipment is exceptionally strong and durable. 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. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The bridging that occurs in the hopper of waste crushing products is resolved by this equipment. The contents include resin molded products, crushed sofa cushions, and cotton dust. The sizes of these materials are approximately MAX 20mm. The installation overview is as follows, and this resolves the user's issues. 【Hopper Overview】 ■ Dimensions: Approximately 2000×2000 ■ Incline: Two sides are steep, two sides are gentle ■ Discharge: Electromagnetic feeder 【Model, Configuration, Control】 ■ Standard type blow disk (BD-15) selected ■ Three units on each gentle slope ■ One unit on each steep slope A total of eight blow disks are arranged ■ Air aeration is sequentially performed with a time difference for every two blow disks using a controller with four built-in solenoid valves *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We received an inquiry stating that the mixture of seeds and fertilizer cannot be discharged from the hopper due to being wet. We have not seen the actual item, but you sent us a hopper diagram, and we provided guidance on suitable models and equipment layout, and you conducted a test using our equipment. The results were favorable, leading to the decision to implement it. 【Hopper Overview】 ■ Hopper Diameter: Ø500 ■ Cone Section Inclination: Approximately 60° ■ Discharge Section: 65A piping (two locations at the bottom of the cone section) 【Key Points of Our Equipment】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of strength and durability due to the risk of foreign matter contamination. Our silicone disk has excellent strength and durability. Once you use it, 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 refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We received an inquiry regarding a problem with the PVC silo. While verifying measures to address the issue of unstable powder surface affecting the management of storage levels (which is outside our scope), you simultaneously introduced our bridge breaker. Since then, it seems that no bridges have occurred, and manual hammering has become nonexistent. 【Case Summary】 ■Issues (1) The powder surface is unstable, hindering the management of storage levels. (2) Although an air knocker is used, bridges occasionally occur. ■Results - While verifying measures for (1) (which is outside our scope), you simultaneously introduced our bridge breaker. - No bridges have occurred, and manual hammering has become nonexistent. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This is an inquiry from a chemical plant regarding bridge-related issues, and it is a case where the problem was resolved using this equipment. 【Overview】 ■Trouble Details and Background 1. Bridges occasionally occur. 2. The frequency of the above is low, and when a bridge occurs, it is dealt with by poking it with a stick, etc. 3. Static electricity became severe, leading to the addition of water to the material. 4. Due to the bridge, it became impossible to discharge powder from the hopper. 5. The use of a blow disk resolved the bridge after adding water. ■Hopper Conditions - Dimensions: Approximately 3000×1500 - Discharge Section: Approximately 1500×350 - Discharge Device: Screw feeder ■Blow Disk Arrangement and Control - Installed in three tiers (upper, middle, lower) on the inclined part of the hopper (four sides). - A total of 36 blow disks are divided into nine locations with four each, activated with a time delay. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
