This is an example we received from a manufacturer of labor-saving machinery. We were consulted because "the customer (in the chemical industry) started adding water to resin powder, and a bridging phenomenon that had not occurred before began to happen in the delivered equipment." The key point this time is that while the flowability of the resin powder before water addition is relatively good, the angle of repose increases due to the addition of water, and there is a possibility of increasing the amount of water added in the future. In this case, considering that the discharge diameter of the hopper is somewhat small at 100A and the worsening of the angle of repose due to increased water addition, we added four mini blow discs (BD-08) just above the 100A discharge section in addition to the four previously mentioned blow discs. After implementation, we followed up and there have been no troubles; it is operating smoothly. 【Overview】 ■ Product Name: Resin Powder ■ Particle Size: 10 to 1000 μm ■ Hopper Shape: Cone 1000φ ■ Discharge Diameter: 100A *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. *Our website features many examples of implementations.

This is a case where a blow disk was adopted for application to new equipment. The application location is the dust collector hopper section. Since the blow disk injects air along the inner surface of the hopper, it is generally the case that the effectiveness does not change significantly even if the installation position is slightly off. The key point this time is that due to the properties of the target material, the air pressure used is high, the air ON time is short, and air aeration is performed in a pulsed manner. [Overview] ■ Hopper approximate dimensions: 2000×2000 (discharge section 200×200) ■ Blow disk arrangement - 3 units per 4 sides, with 1 unit on the lower level and 2 units on the upper level per side (However, only 2 units are installed on one side due to the inspection port) - Both lower and upper levels are positioned quite low, near the discharge port * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous implementation examples.

This is a project delivered to a manufacturer of ceramic structural materials. Due to powder blockage at the entrance of the screw feeder, the Brodix Mini was adopted as a countermeasure. After installation, this blockage was resolved immediately. 【Overview】 ■ Target material: Ceramic fine powder ■ Installation location - Entrance of the screw feeder (300φ×200H) - The screw diameter at the bottom is 200φ 【Key points of this equipment】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of strength and durability, especially considering 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. 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 case studies.

We would like to introduce a case where our aeration system was adopted for a fly ash storage tank at a waste treatment plant. It seems that previously, a number of conventional aerators were used, but in recent years, after considering various trouble countermeasures, they decided to adopt the blow disc. However, there were concerns regarding the operating temperature. In this case, the condition was 130°C, but there are no issues at this temperature. We also have a track record of use at much higher temperatures. Please feel free to consult us. This case has been in operation for a certain period after adoption, and there have been no problems with the equipment (no occurrences of bridging, etc.). 【Overview of Conditions】 ■ Silo Diameter: 2400φ ■ Storage Capacity: Approximately 10m³ ■ Material Name: Fly Ash ■ Material Specific Gravity: 0.3 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous implementation examples.

We would like to introduce a case where a Bro-Disk Mini was delivered to a facility primarily engaged in the production of food containers and packaging sheets. The delivery was made as a countermeasure for the bridging issue caused by the crushed material "pellets + powder" in the hopper of the extruder. Initially, the customer requested a loan of the equipment for effectiveness verification, so we sent the necessary quantity. After discussing the arrangement for various hoppers, we proceeded with the testing, and the results were all favorable and well-received. In this case, due to the gentle slope of the hopper, we installed two units near the discharge area and four units above it. 【Overview】 ■ Hopper diameter: 400φ ■ Discharge diameter: 80φ ■ Number of units installed: 6 Bro-Disk Minis ■ Control: Since the air consumption per unit is low, we control all six units to turn ON and OFF simultaneously using a controller with one built-in solenoid valve. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous implementation examples, which can be accessed via the link below.

Here is a case study based on a consultation from users in the Keihanshin area who said, "We are experiencing powder clogging at the discharge section of the bulk bag hopper and would like to improve it at a low cost." They brought the hopper drawings and powder samples for us to review, and based on our experience, we recommended a suitable model and layout along with the associated costs, which they promptly ordered. We followed up later and received high praise, stating, "The powder clogging has been resolved, and we are very satisfied with the cost." 【Case Summary (Partial)】 ■ Hopper Diameter: Ø1300 ■ Discharge Diameter: Ø150 ■ Discharge Valve: Choke Valve (Flow Valve) ■ Material: Aluminum Hydroxide (Fine Particles) ■ Equipment Flow: Bulk Bag → Target Hopper → Discharge Valve → Weighing/Platform Scale *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where the issues of bridging and rat holes with talc and additives were resolved. Four blow discs (BD-15 type) were installed slightly above the discharge section of the Φ800 hopper. Two blow disc minis (BD-08 type) were installed in the reducer. With these countermeasures, the user's challenges were cleared in one go. How can we easily and cost-effectively eliminate bridging, rat holes, powder blockages, and obstructions? We believe we have the answer. While we cannot guarantee 100%, we are confident that there is a significant possibility of solving customer issues easily and at low cost. 【Countermeasures】 <Equipment Installation> ■ Four blow discs (BD-15 type) installed slightly above the discharge section of the Φ800 hopper ■ Two blow disc minis (BD-08 type) installed in the reducer <Control> ■ Using the C-SV4 controller with four built-in solenoid valves, sequential air aeration is applied to the above blow discs and blow disc minis in four locations. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where the residual resin powder and resin chips in the suction hopper were eliminated. The customer was discharging and transporting materials by suctioning horizontally from the bottom of the hopper, but there was a problem where materials remained on the opposite side and sides of the suction inlet, rendering the level switch ineffective due to this residue. We installed one blow disk of type BD-15 on each of the three sides, excluding the side with the suction inlet. Using a controller C-SV1 with one built-in solenoid valve, we simultaneously aerated all three disks. The air ON and OFF times were determined based on the observed effects on-site. 【Process Leading to Implementation】 1. Consultation from the customer (disclosure of hopper drawings and contents) 2. Guidance on recommended models and layout from our company 3. Free loan of blow disks 4. Customer installs the blow disks and manually turns air ON and OFF to confirm effectiveness 5. Positive results lead to the introduction of blow disks and controller *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
