We addressed an issue at a resin manufacturing company where "the resin powder was blocking in the hopper, making it impossible to extract with the twin-screw feeder." In this case, the raw material had a high moisture content, so the operating pressure was also set higher (resulting in increased air consumption). Additionally, due to the installation of multiple units (20 units), we used a controller with 10 solenoid valves to sequentially turn on the air for two units at a time. 【Flow of Problem Resolution】 1. Upon examining the raw material, we determined from experience that it was quite troublesome. → We proposed a close installation of multiple units. 2. We lent a demo unit, which was installed by the user in their existing hopper for testing. → It was found that there were areas where blocking was not resolved when the distance from the unit increased. 3. We added a "blow disk" to the initial proposal based on the user's requests. 4. The above plan was implemented. → The issue was resolved.

We would like to introduce a case where a hopper for repelling crushed materials was installed. The hopper is relatively small in size, but due to the troublesome nature of the material, we have installed four additional blow discs. Additionally, since the discharge diameter is also relatively small, we decided to install mini blow discs. 【Overview】 ■ Hopper diameter: 700φ ■ Discharge diameter: 80φ ■ Material name: Elastomer ■ Material particle size: 1 to 1.5mm 【Key Points of This Equipment】 ■ The strength and durability of the elastic discs (silicone) are very important from the perspective of foreign matter contamination risk. The silicone discs of this equipment excel in strength and durability. We believe you will understand this once you use it! ■ Control (how to aerate?) is crucial! We provide guidance on what should be done. A dedicated controller is also available. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous implementation examples, which can be checked via the link below.

The properties of the handled powder have changed, leading to frequent bridging issues, so we received a consultation regarding countermeasures. After you sent us a sample and we examined it, we determined that at least eight standard type flow discs would be necessary for installation. However, the customer recognized that "there is a risk in suddenly introducing it into the production equipment," so we lent them two flow discs to confirm their effectiveness with other hoppers before proceeding with adoption. [Hopper Status] ■ Hopper Size: 800×1400 ■ Discharge Section: 200A ■ Hopper Inclination: Over 70° *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies, which you can check via the link below.

This is an introduction to a case where a bridge breaker was installed in the cement bin of a concrete plant. Due to the issues with the cement input position and the inclination of the bin, residual cement adhered to one side of the rectangular cement bin. As a result of consultations, the problem was resolved by installing five units of our standard equipment, the BD-15S-B, on that side. [Bin Dimensions, etc.] ■ Top: Approximately 1000×800 ■ Bottom: Approximately 250×250 ■ Inclination of the installation surface: About 50° This bridge breaker can be easily installed by simply drilling a hole in the hopper wall. Additionally, since it is a low-cost device, the expenses remain limited even when multiple units are installed. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us. *We have published numerous implementation examples on our website, which can be checked via the link below.

We would like to introduce a case where a customer consulted us about considering the installation of a blow disk in the raw material tank for pharmaceuticals. We provided advice on the installation location and other details based on the hopper drawings and information about the characteristics of the contents (such as powder particle size, angle of repose, and apparent specific gravity). 【Overview】 Hopper Overview: Diameter less than 1000 mm Powder Overview: Adhesive, with a particle size of a few microns Gas Used: Nitrogen (N2) Since this is related to pharmaceuticals, we have submitted not only the food hygiene test report for the elastic disk but also various certificates. 【Key Points of Our Equipment】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of foreign matter contamination risk, so strength and durability are crucial. Our silicone disk has excellent strength and durability. Once you use it, you will understand! ■ Control (how to aerate?) is important! We provide guidance on what should be done. We also have a dedicated controller prepared. *We have published numerous implementation examples on our website. You can check them via the link below.

Here is a case we received from a weighing device manufacturer. ■Consultation Details In equipment already delivered to the user, the moisture content of the raw material has become higher than initially expected, causing a bridge to form in the hopper of the weighing device. Is there a low-cost and simple way to address this? ■Response Upon reviewing the drawings and the raw material, we determined that the hopper discharge diameter was small at 50mm, and the flowability of the raw material was not particularly poor, so we concluded that only measures immediately above the discharge section were necessary. ■Result We received feedback that "it is working well with equipment costing only a few tens of thousands of yen." 【Overview】 Hopper Diameter: 600mm Discharge Diameter: 50mm Raw Material: Bulk density 0.6, size approximately 0.5mm, with some moisture Blow Disk Type: Mini Blow Disk Installation Position: Two units 75mm above the discharge section along the hopper surface, and two more units an additional 75mm above. Since blow disks are inexpensive, even if many are installed in a large hopper, the costs remain limited. We will actively inform you about the installation positions and operating methods. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

In the metal powder hopper, we installed a conical shape inside to reduce the powder pressure to prevent bridging, but it did not improve. We received an inquiry about trying a Brodie disk. The customer expressed a desire to borrow it, stating, "I would like to avoid installing it suddenly (as it requires drilling a hole in the hopper), and first, I want to check the actual item." Therefore, we attached the Brodie disk to a resin plate that simulated the hopper wall and sent it. The customer connected the air and confirmed the air discharge. After embedding it in the powder inside the hopper and confirming the air discharge in that state, they decided to adopt it. Since then, they have evaluated that it is operating stably. 【Overview】 ■ Material: Metal powder (particle size: unknown) ■ Bulk density: Approximately 2.5 ■ Hopper size: 1300×2000 * For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous examples of implementations.
