To the facilities manufacturing functional resin products, we would like to introduce a case where our blow discs were supplied. From the user, we received an inquiry stating, "Chips of about 1-2mm are clogging at the hopper discharge section, so we installed a nozzle nearby for air aeration, but it hasn't resolved the issue." Since the material has relatively good flowability, we resolved the clogging by installing three standard blow discs 250mm above the hopper wall from the discharge section. Most cases we consult on involve materials with relatively poor flowability. Therefore, in the case of a hopper with a diameter of about 1200mm, it is common to install four or more blow discs, but in this instance, three installations worked effectively. 【Hopper Conditions】 ■ Diameter: 1200mm ■ Discharge Diameter: 125A *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous implementation examples.

The high moisture content of the granulated material caused bridging at the hopper outlet, but the installation of the Brody Disk and Brody Disk Mini resolved the issue. Initially, you were using an overseas vibrator (air ball type), which was effective but occasionally caused bridging, leading you to contact us. 【Overview】 (Usage Conditions) ○ About the Hopper → Top: 800φ, Outlet: 80φ, Angle of repose: approximately 60° ○ Raw Material → Particle size: approximately 5φ, Moisture content: over 20% ○ Installation Position and Model → The risk of blockage is highest just above the outlet, so two Brody Disk Minis were installed in this location (75mm above the hopper wall from the outlet). → Due to the hopper's radius in this location, a Brody Disk cannot be installed; only Brody Disk Minis can be used. → It is preferable to install close to the outlet, so Brody Disk Minis were chosen. → Two Brody Disks were installed approximately 150mm above the Brody Disk Minis along the hopper wall. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog to view.

This is a case from a business that manufactures sintered products. The hopper has a relatively gentle slope, and there were difficulties with outflow due to the small diameter of the discharge outlet. Since they expressed a desire to see the actual product first, we provided samples along with our advice. The selected model, "Blow Disk Mini," consumes less air, allowing us to control all units simultaneously with a single built-in solenoid valve in the controller for air ON/OFF. 【Overview】 ■ Powder type: Zinc stearate ■ Hopper ・ Diameter: 400φ ・ Discharge outlet diameter: 50φ ・ Hopper slope: Over 50° ■ Blow Disk model, arrangement, quantity ・ 4 units of Blow Disk Mini (BD-08S-B) installed in pairs at different heights * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous examples of implementations.

To prevent bridging of fibrous powder materials in the screw feeder hopper, we have decided to install this bridge breaker. The bridge breaker features a rubber disk that is normally (when air is OFF) in close contact with the inner wall of the hopper, but when air is ON, this rubber disk slightly lifts away from the inner wall, allowing air to be injected through the gap. Simultaneously, the elastic disk vibrates, and through these actions, we were able to easily resolve the bridging of the materials. 【Overview】 (Mounting Location) - Powder hoppers in manufacturing plants for ceramics, tiles, etc. (Hopper Overview) - Dimensions: 800×1400, two sides inclined at 1400 width, with the 800 width side vertical and a screw feeder at the bottom. (Mounting Location and Number of Installations) - A total of 6 units, 3 on each 1400 width side: all at the same height. (Controller and Operating Sequence) - A controller with 4 built-in solenoid valves is used: 4 output air lines. - 2 blow disks are installed for each output air line, with 2 blow disks sequentially turned ON at 3 locations. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog for further information.

This is an introduction to a case where the "Blow Disc" was adopted for aeration to promote the emission of chlorine dust in a silo. The model used this time is the BD-25 type, which is for use with a Roots blower, rather than the standard BD-15 Blow Disc for compressed air. The "Blow Disc" is available in a type that can be used not only with compressor air but also with a Roots blower. 【Overview】 ■ User Industry: Cement ■ Target Material: Chlorine Dust ■ Silo Diameter: 3000φ ■ Blow Disc Overview ・ Model: BD-25S-B (for Roots Blower) ・ Quantity and Installation Situation: 16 units... installed in 4 on the lower level, 4 on the middle level, and 8 on the upper level. * 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.

In the engineering plastic manufacturing factory, we were able to achieve our goal of promoting the discharge of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene raw materials from a small hopper by installing this equipment (mini type). I believe there is a very high possibility of solving powder blockages and rat holes in various factories! Please feel free to consult our sales engineering representative. 【Flow until introduction】 ○ Gather information on our website ○ Inquiries ○ Review hopper drawings and powder samples ○ Guidance on model and installation location ○ Free loan ○ Test usage ○ Introduction 【Key points of this 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 this equipment is exceptionally strong and durable. I believe you will understand once you use it! ■ Control (how to aerate?) is important! We provide guidance on what should be done. A dedicated controller is also available. *For more details, please contact us or download and view the catalog.

This is a project from the engineering department of a chemical company. They are loading products from a bulk bag into a hopper, but the discharge from the hopper is unstable... It has become a rat hole, and they have tried using air knockers and vibrators, but with no effect... They mentioned that they usually tap it down with a bar. We proposed a solution using a controller with four solenoid valves, sequentially turning on the air to two blow discs at four locations. They decided to implement the "blow discs," and the results were as expected, very good.
