Here is an introduction to a case solved by our "Brodisk." The introduction of our bridge prevention device was implemented in the hopper section of a powdered activated carbon storage silo. There is a vibrating discharge device at the bottom of the silo, and the installation is in the hopper section above it. We installed eight standard Brodisks and used a controller that incorporates four solenoid valves to sequentially activate two Brodisks at four locations. [Overview Specifications] ■ Silo Diameter: 3000φ ■ Discharge Rate: Approximately 5m3/hr ■ Chemical Name, etc.: Powdered Activated Carbon (Moisture content below 5%, Apparent specific gravity around 0.2) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous implementation examples, which you can check via the link below.

We will introduce a case study of the implementation of "Brodisk" for bridge prevention measures with cement and aggregates. Originally, it was used to prevent bridging caused by vibrations (which occasionally led to discharge troubles), but since the introduction of Brodisk a few years ago, discharge troubles have become nonexistent, and we continue to adopt this equipment. This time, Brodisk has been installed in three hoppers. 【Hopper Overview】 ■ Hopper diameter: 900φ ■ Discharge diameter: 150φ ■ Number of hoppers: 3 【Key Points of Our Equipment】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of the risk of foreign matter contamination, as strength and durability are crucial. The silicone disk of our equipment excels in strength and durability. Once you use it, you will understand! ■ Control (how to aerate?) is important! We provide guidance on what should be done. A dedicated controller is also available. * For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous implementation examples, which can be checked via the link below.

We will introduce a case where the problem of high-moisture granules bridging at the hopper outlet was resolved by installing a Brodie disk and a Brodie disk mini. Initially, you were using an overseas vibrator (air ball type), which had some effectiveness but occasionally caused bridging, leading you to contact us. First, the risk of blockage is highest just above the outlet, so we installed two Brodie disk minis in that location. It is preferable to install them close to the discharge outlet, which is why we chose the Brodie disk mini. Additionally, we installed two Brodie disks about 150mm higher along the hopper wall than the Brodie disk mini. [Overview] ■ Hopper specifications Top: 800φ, Outlet: 80φ, Angle of repose: approximately 60° ■ Raw material Particle size: approximately 5φ, Moisture content: over 20% *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies, which you can check via the link below.

We received an inquiry from a customer stating, "A bridge has occurred in the recycling equipment, and I would like to try a BroaDisk." Here, we introduce a case that led to the implementation. The target materials were crushed gypsum powder and gypsum board paper, which exhibited significant variability in the properties of the contents, and there were situations where hammering did not improve the condition at all. We proposed the model, layout, and control plan, and the customer conducted tests using a dummy hopper. Since the test results were favorable, they decided to proceed with the implementation. [Implementation Overview (Partial)] - Target Hopper: Hopper under the cyclone, diameter Ø1000, discharge diameter Ø200 - Layout: 4 BroaDisks × 2 tiers, totaling 8 units - Control: Aeration of 8 BroaDisks in pairs using a controller (C-SV4) with 4 built-in solenoid valves *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce an example of the "Brodisk" that we handle. When establishing a new silo, it was noted that the conventional general aeration has a high risk of "bridge formation (for the customer)," and thus, our Brodisk was adopted. Replacing air knockers and electromagnetic vibrators, the Brodisk will become the standard for powder bridge breakers in the future. It significantly reduces costs and easily resolves bridges that cannot be solved with knockers and similar devices. 【Case Overview】 ■ Capacity: 100T ■ Discharge Diameter: Ø700 ■ Contents: Fly Ash ■ Equipment Arrangement: 8 Brodisks (BD-15) installed on the same circumference, arranged in 3 tiers, totaling 24 units ■ Control: 24 Brodisks divided into 6 locations, with 4 units sequentially aerated by a controller C-SV6 that incorporates 6 solenoid valves. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where a blow disk was used as a bridging countermeasure at the discharge section of a dryer hopper. Flake-shaped raw materials can present more troublesome cases compared to pellets or general grinding materials. In this instance, to address this issue, we are injecting air at a higher pressure for each blow disk individually. Due to the high temperature, we are using a high-heat silicone rubber product for the elastic disk material of the blow disk. 【Summary of Conditions】 ■ Hopper Diameter: Ø800 ■ Target Material: PET flakes, 8mm screen PASS product ■ Equipment Arrangement: Four blow disks installed at the same circumference at the location where bridging occurs above the discharge section ■ Control: The blow disks are sequentially activated with air ON one by one using a controller (C-SV4) that has four built-in solenoid valves. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

In the lumber industry, biomass boilers that use wood chips and other byproducts generated during the wood processing process as fuel are utilized. To ensure efficient operation, it is important to prevent the formation of bridges in the ash hopper and maintain a stable fuel supply. The occurrence of bridges can lead to boiler shutdowns and decreased efficiency, negatively impacting productivity. Our bridge breaker suppresses the formation of bridges in the ash hopper and supports stable operation. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Ash hoppers of biomass boilers - Sawmills handling powders such as wood chips and sawdust 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Reduces the risk of boiler shutdowns due to bridge formation - Improves operational efficiency through stable fuel supply - Reduces maintenance costs

We would like to introduce a case where our "Brodisk" was adopted for a quicklime silo based on a consultation from an engineering company. In this case, we used the controller "C-SV4," which has four built-in solenoid valves. The advantage of using the controller is that it allows for easy adjustment of the air ON/OFF time according to the situation on-site, and it enables the setting of double shots at specific locations and the interval time after one cycle is completed. Additionally, because the solenoid valves are built-in, installation is straightforward, contributing to the total cost. (The air piping on the secondary side can be done with tubing, which is hassle-free.) This equipment offers excellent cost performance. However, since the installation position is important, please feel free to consult with us. 【Case Overview】 ■ Target Material: Ca(HO)2 ■ Silo Conditions: Ø3000, 50M3 ■ Equipment Flow: Jot Pack Truck → Target Silo → Screw Conveyor → Dissolution Tank ■ Key Point: Long retention time inside the silo *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We received an inquiry from a plant engineering company and would like to introduce an example of a solution that resolved blockages of fly ash in a large storage tank. It was reported that a bridge had formed due to changes in various conditions at the steel mill, which is the end user. We provided information on the model, layout, control examples, and a quotation after receiving silo drawings, photos, and samples of the contents. The results of the implementation have been favorable. [Conditions] ■ Material: Fly ash (bulk density 0.7, with varying particle size) ■ Silo diameter: φ2800 ■ Discharge port diameter: φ300 *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
