ミナギ Product Lineup

This is a case where a Bro-Disk and Bro-Disk Mini were introduced to prevent bridging occurring in a PVC micro powder hopper. The user has already been using many of these devices in another system, and they adopted this example as an extension, with very good results. In this case, we received prior consultation regarding the arrangement of the devices. Based on our extensive experience, we can provide appropriate implementation examples. Please feel free to reach out for consultation. 【Case Overview (Partial)】 ■ Ø300 Hopper ・ Four Bro-Disk Minis installed ・ A controller C-SV1 with one built-in solenoid valve controls all four Bro-Disk Minis to turn air ON and OFF simultaneously. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where a chemical manufacturer adopted the "Brodisk." They had installed knockers as a countermeasure for bridging, but it was not very effective, and they were dealing with the issue through manual hammering. After years of hammering, the hopper became uneven, and they decided to update this part and introduced our product. The results have been good, and it is operating smoothly. 【Case Overview】 ■ Hopper Diameter: Ø600 ■ Discharge Diameter: Ø150 ■ Four Brodisks were installed at a position 250mm from the discharge section ■ Control is set to simultaneously turn the air ON/OFF for the four Brodisks *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.

We would like to introduce a case where a blow disk was installed as a measure against bridging in powder coatings. In this case, the equipment was adopted with the installation of 8 units from the beginning. The results, of course, have been favorable. Since the subject material is powder coating, an elastic disk made of EPDM has been selected for the blow disk. 【Hopper Conditions】 ■ Diameter: Ø1200 ■ Cone section slope: just under 60° *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

This is a case consulted by a representative from the manufacturing department of a pharmaceutical company. They were using a funnel attached to a raw material drum to invert and transfer the contents into another container, but they encountered a bridging issue where the powder would not flow out. Even hitting the funnel from the outside with a plastic hammer had no effect. We installed a total of four Brodie Disks of the "BD-15 type" in two tiers. Aeration was to be performed manually by turning on the air during the transfer. As a result, the customer's issue was resolved immediately. Since this case involved manual operation, the cost was minimal, only for the Brodie Disks. [Case Summary] ■ Consultation Details - They were using a funnel attached to a raw material drum to invert and transfer the contents into another container, but the funnel caused bridging, preventing the powder from flowing out. - Hitting the funnel from the outside with a plastic hammer had no effect at all. ■ Key Points - The name and properties of the contents are confidential, but they are very non-flowable (with a significantly high angle of repose). - The funnel's angle is a gentle 45°. *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.

We would like to introduce an example of our small hopper "Brody Disk Mini" being implemented in the raw material hopper of an injection molding machine. In the injection molding machine, it was reported that bridging in the raw material hopper was causing poor material feeding into the screw, leading to unstable molding. We received inquiries for countermeasures. The user confirmed the effectiveness through a loan and has been operating smoothly since the introduction. Subsequently, they began using the equipment in multiple facilities. 【Case Overview】 ■ Target Hopper - Diameter: φ300 - Outlet: φ100 ■ Target Material: PVC Powder *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We received an inquiry from a powder adhesive manufacturer regarding the improvement of powder accumulation in a conical tank (eccentric hopper), and we would like to introduce a case where a "broad disk" was installed. In this case, powder was accumulating on the gentle slope side, making stable and accurate supply impossible. After reviewing the contents and hopper drawings, we provided a proposal for implementation. The equipment was installed shortly thereafter, and the problem was easily resolved. We also promptly responded to requests to see the equipment before implementation by providing a physical loan. 【Case Overview】 ■ Target Equipment: Conical Tank (Eccentric Hopper) ■ Contents: Particle size averaging around 10 microns, bulk density 0.4 ■ Discharge Device: Table Feeder ■ Hopper Diameter: Ø800 ■ Hopper Incline: 55° (at the gentlest point) *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where we improved the issue of EVA resin sheets (hair-like) not being discharged stably from the hopper. The company expressed a desire to "confirm the effectiveness with a dummy hopper before installing it on the actual machine and automate the process," so we first lent them items such as "blow disks." There were concerns that the sticky sheets would make discharge difficult, but the test results were outstanding, and the discharge failure issue was easily resolved. 【Case Overview】 ■ Target Item: EVA resin sheet approximately 5mm x 20mm, hair-like, sticky ■ Hopper: Ø600 (discharge diameter Ø50) *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 implemented at a powder plant engineering company. Due to the layout of the equipment, the hopper of the dust collector had a gentle slope, which caused bridging. To address this issue, the company considered our device and provided the hopper drawings and material samples. After we provided layout and control proposals, the device was implemented, and the results were favorable, receiving positive feedback from the end users. [Case Overview] ■ Target Equipment: Dust Collector ■ Hopper Diameter: Ø1300 ■ Discharge Diameter: Ø150 ■ Cone Height: 750 ■ Discharge Device: Rotary Valve *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
