This is a case inquiry from a user who has already installed a Brodisk. Although they purchased and installed the Brodisk as a measure against rat holes, they consulted us because they observed that the rat holes had not been resolved upon visual inspection of the inside of the hopper during maintenance. As a countermeasure, we advised them to increase the number of Brodisk installations, reconsider the placement, use a controller with four solenoid valves, and review the air piping (such as tube diameter conditions), which they implemented. After implementing this improvement plan, the user reported that there were no rat holes at all. [Overview of Usage Conditions] (Placement overview and control after improvement) ■ Hopper dimensions: 1500×1500 ■ Approximate dimensions of hopper discharge area: 300×300 ■ Placement overview: 2 units on one side, totaling 8 units installed ■ Control: Air is turned on sequentially in pairs with a time delay using a controller that incorporates four solenoid valves. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous implementation examples, which can be checked via the link below.

This is a case we received a call about from a company in Osaka that is engaged in plastic molding. Despite having a very tight deadline for a large order of a new product, they expressed a desire to resolve frequent bridging issues as soon as possible. They brought a sample of the material that was bridging, and upon inspection, it was a type of material we are quite familiar with, so we had no particular concerns. We guided them on the placement of the blow disc and provided the necessary quantity on the spot. We received a report that it was installed the same day and the results were good, and at the same time, they placed an order for the equipment and controller.

This is a case where a resin product manufacturer adopted the Brody Disk Mini. They consulted us early on because the target material was bridging inside the hopper during mass production trials, and they wanted to resolve this issue quickly. Considering the user's thoughts, we installed four Brody Disk Minis. The price difference between using two Brody Disk Minis with a controller and using four Brody Disk Minis with a controller is not significant. Given the potential for bridging with other materials that may have poor flow in the future, they decided it would be best to ensure a thorough solution from the start. Since this equipment is economical, I believe such a decision is reasonable. 【Overview】 ■ Hopper: 200mm diameter cone (discharge part is 50mm) ■ Material: Resin tube crushed product (2mm pass) … looks fluffy * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous examples of implementations.

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 would like to introduce a case where our product was installed to prevent bridging in a hopper with very fine grinding materials. In this case, the customer had previously experienced damage due to wear in the transport piping of this material, and they were concerned about whether the hopper walls would wear due to air injection from the blow disk. By placing a wear-resistant rubber sheet between the blow disk and the inner wall of the hopper, the system is now operating without any issues. 【Installation Overview】 ■ Hopper dimensions: 800×800 ■ Discharge: Screw feeder ■ Equipment arrangement: A total of 4 standard type (BD-15) units installed, one on each side ■ Control: A controller (C-SV4) with 4 built-in solenoid valves operates each unit individually with relatively low pressure air, with a relatively longer air ON time for each activation ■ Rubber sheet: φ200 (larger size, smaller size is also acceptable) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Due to frequent troubles with aeration in the existing silo, we consulted and introduced the "Brodie Disk." The contents are sodium bicarbonate, and aeration was being done with nozzles to prevent bridging. However, issues such as "rat holes forming" and "nozzles clogging" occurred, and these problems have been resolved with this equipment. The Brodie Disk is easy to install and economical, but placement is important, so please do not hesitate to contact us. We also offer free rentals of this equipment. 【Overview】 ■ Silo Diameter: φ1800 ■ Discharge Diameter: 200A ■ Target Material: Fine Powder Sodium Bicarbonate 【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.
