In the supply hopper, the phenomenon of arching (bridging) occurred due to the balance of powder pressure. The customer initially installed multiple air knockers, but that did not resolve the issue, leading to their consultation. Since it is a square hopper, by simply installing two blow discs, one on each side, and with a minimal air ON time, the arching was eliminated. The greatest feature of the blow disc is that it injects air along the inner wall of the hopper. The powder pressure causes the powder to be pressed against the inner wall of the hopper, increasing the friction between the particles and the wall, which leads to the arching phenomenon; however, our product is very effective in addressing this issue.

It seems that the initially installed knocker was unable to improve the situation as the powder would compact, but the air aeration system has successfully resolved the issue in one go. 【Overview】 ■ Raw material name: Powder for fuel (for combustion) ■ Loose bulk density of raw material: 0.3 ■ Tapped bulk density of raw material: 0.5 ■ Angle of repose of raw material: 60° ■ Hopper shape dimensions: Conical hopper 1000×1000 ■ Hopper discharge section: 150A, with rotary valve Since the raw material has fluidization properties, there was a desire to minimize the amount of air used, resulting in the installation of eight units, which is more than the typical quantity. It is more effective to turn on multiple blow disks for short periods rather than keeping the blow disks in the same position on for a long time, in terms of air consumption. * For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous case studies, which can be accessed via the link below.

We received a consultation regarding the unsuccessful discharge of dehydrated cake-like material fragments. It was quite a troublesome material, but the request was, "We recognize that the trouble is due to the hopper's slope being too gentle, and since re-manufacturing the hopper would be too costly, we would like to try it as a last resort." We decided to increase the air pressure, and the customer was very satisfied. If you are interested in the Brody disk, please feel free to contact us as there are various case studies available. 【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.

At the welding materials factory, we received a request for the rental of the powder bulk bridge breaker "Brodisk." After evaluating its effectiveness, it was adopted. Due to the gentle slope of the hopper, blockages and residues occurred at the discharge section, prompting us to conduct a test aimed at resolving this issue. The results were favorable, leading to immediate implementation. 【Hopper Overview】 ■ Shape: Conical ■ Diameter: 2000φ ■ Discharge Section: 200φ ■ Hopper Apex Angle: 90° At Minagi, we provide information on installation positions, models, quantities, and operating methods tailored to each condition. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies, which can be accessed via the link below.

The equipment was adopted for measures against rat holes in mica, which is believed to be due to the insufficient slope angle of the hopper. The slope of the hopper is quite gentle, and except for directly above the hopper discharge section, the powder is completely accumulated. Therefore, considering the size of the hopper, the number of installed blow disks has been increased to 8, which is more than the typical case. 【Hopper Conditions】 ■ Shape: Conical ■ Diameter: 1300φ ■ Discharge Diameter: 150φ ■ Taper Angle: 100° (slope 40°) 【Powder Conditions】 ■ Type: Mica ■ Bulk Density: Approximately 0.6 ■ Particle Size: Generally below 80μm ■ Angle of Repose: Approximately 55° Blow disks are easy to install and inexpensive, and even with a large number of installations, the effort and cost are limited. *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous examples of implementations, which can be checked via the link below.
