This is a case study introducing the bridge breaker "Brodisk." The Brodisk was effective in addressing clogging issues near the lift valve for discharging fine powder stored in a rectangular container. The flow of the powder was unstable ⇒ could not be improved with impact-type equipment ⇒ easily resolved with air aeration and vibration! 【Details】 Container dimensions: approximately 900□ × 1000H Powder overview: average particle size of less than 10 microns, slightly high moisture content, and a moist feel. * Due to the square hopper design, one unit was installed near the lift valves on each side, totaling four units. * By using a controller with four built-in solenoid valves and sequentially turning them on one by one, the clogging near the fine powder container discharge area was resolved. If you are facing issues with powder and granules, please consult us. We have published numerous case studies on our company website. You can check them via the link below.

Broaddisk has a diverse track record of solving challenges that cannot be addressed by other methods, but of course, not everything is perfect. We may also suggest methods that we believe are optimal for our customers, even if they are not our products. Please feel free to consult us. 【Cases from chemical-related users】 Powder name: Unknown A powder that solidifies when squeezed, has moisture, and is adhesive in nature. In the case of impact-type and vibration-type bridge breakers, the powder tends to compact. Therefore, the user had been using an expensive agitator to address the bridging issue. However, it seems that even with the agitator, there was residual powder remaining on the walls. This time, by utilizing the Broaddisk, we were able to eliminate the bridging, reduce costs, and also resolve the wall residue issue. If aeration to the hopper is possible, this is a cost-effective and low-effort solution. In addition to that, Broaddisk offers a combined effect of aeration along the walls and vibration, unlike regular aerators (aeration equipment). *We have published numerous implementation examples on our website.

A blockage occurred in the vertical pipe (250φ×300L) between the powder feeder for raw material measurement and the raw material hopper, so we installed a Bro-Disk Mini to resolve the issue. In this case, the user had originally installed an air knocker on the upper raw material hopper due to the inherently poor flowability of the powder. However, after changing the source of the raw material recently, blockages began to occur in the vertical pipe below the hopper, leading them to install an air knocker there as well, but it had little effect. Subsequently, they became interested in the Bro-Disk, and after testing it, they achieved a 100% resolution. For blockages in chutes and pipes containing powder, air aeration and vibration-type bridge breakers, as well as the Bro-Disk Mini, are effective. *We have many case studies published on our website.

We introduce an example of a Brody disk that solved the clogging of dewatered cake in a vertical chute connecting a decanter-type continuous centrifuge and a subsequent dryer. The Brody disk is primarily used to address blockages and bridge rat hole phenomena in powdery materials (dry), but there are cases where it has completely resolved user issues by being used with wet powder (cake) as in this instance. Of course, not all issues are resolved, but there are cases where problems can be easily solved depending on the conditions. 【Chute Overview】 <Clogging Section> ■ Shape: Square/Round Chute ■ Dimensions: Upper 400×500, Lower 300φ, Height 300 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The elastic disk of the Brodisk is made of a special silicone rubber (for standard specifications) that excels in durability and strength. However, if you are using solvents, you can confirm the resistance in advance. For customers considering the installation of the "Brodisk Mini," after conducting immersion tests with the elastic disk pieces to check the resistance to the solvents used, you can confidently install the Brodisk. Feel free to request test disk pieces; we will send them to you immediately. In addition to special silicone, we also offer EPDM (ethylene propylene rubber) for the elastic disks. Please feel free to consult us about other materials. [Overview] - Immersion tests can be conducted with elastic disk pieces. - Resistance to the solvents used can be confirmed. - The Brodisk can be installed with confidence. - Elastic disks are available in special silicone as well as EPDM. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We received an inquiry from a user who wanted to address iron powder bridging issues, and we would like to introduce a case where we implemented BroaDisk and BroaDisk Mini. We arranged three BroaDisks along the circumference 200mm above the hopper wall from the discharge section, and three BroaDisk Minis along the circumference 75mm above the hopper wall from the discharge section, each in a staggered configuration. Using the C-SV1 controller, which has one built-in solenoid valve, we simultaneously aerated all BroaDisks and BroaDisk Minis with intermittent air ON/OFF operation. 【Hopper Overview】 ■ Hopper Diameter: Ø500 ■ Discharge Diameter: Ø80 ■ Cone Section Inclination: Approximately 60° *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

In the secondary battery industry, we have been adopting numerous Broa Disks for some time now. This time, we have used Broa Disk Mini in multiple hoppers as a bridge countermeasure for the small hopper. With the controller C-SV1 (special specification) that has one built-in solenoid valve, we can simultaneously aerate four Broa Disk Minis. [Case Overview] ■ Broa Disk Mini has special specifications in terms of material and other aspects. ■ The controller has special specifications in terms of material and other aspects. ■ Measures taken regarding prohibited substances. ■ Oil-free treatment. ■ Components compatible with secondary batteries are used. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
