We addressed an issue at a resin manufacturing company where "the resin powder was blocking in the hopper, making it impossible to extract with the twin-screw feeder." In this case, the raw material had a high moisture content, so the operating pressure was also set higher (resulting in increased air consumption). Additionally, due to the installation of multiple units (20 units), we used a controller with 10 solenoid valves to sequentially turn on the air for two units at a time. 【Flow of Problem Resolution】 1. Upon examining the raw material, we determined from experience that it was quite troublesome. → We proposed a close installation of multiple units. 2. We lent a demo unit, which was installed by the user in their existing hopper for testing. → It was found that there were areas where blocking was not resolved when the distance from the unit increased. 3. We added a "blow disk" to the initial proposal based on the user's requests. 4. The above plan was implemented. → The issue was resolved.

Among the many powders with poor fluidity, the fluidization enhancement of titanium dioxide fine powder is quite challenging. At an industrial rubber product factory, it seems there were not many issues with the installation of a vibrator using the initially used raw material (titanium dioxide). However, due to a change in the supplier of the raw material, the discharge of titanium dioxide from the hopper became very difficult. They purchased and installed three flow discs through a trading company. Although there was some improvement, it did not yield the expected results, and it was at this point that they first contacted our sales team for consultation. As a result, by increasing the number of flow discs and sequentially turning them ON with a time delay using a controller, the titanium dioxide powder was fluidized, and the discharge issues were resolved.

We received an order for three Brody Disk Minis (including a controller) from an engineering company as a measure to address the discharge issues of a small hopper. After installation at the user's factory, the initial problems were improved; however, it was still experiencing funnel flow, and they consulted us about wanting to achieve as much mass flow as possible. After reviewing the powder specifications and the hopper drawings, we proposed adding three more Brody Disk Minis above the three that were already installed. After the addition, the funnel flow was resolved, and they have been using it smoothly. Even after adding the Brody Disk Minis, the existing controller was sufficient, keeping the total cost limited.

We would like to introduce a case where our "Brodisk" provided a solution. In addressing the bridging issue in a powder storage hopper, a rubber chute was installed at the bottom of the hopper along with knockers on the upper and lower parts (metal hopper). However, we received inquiries that sometimes the raw materials were clogging and not discharging properly. We manufactured the rubber chute in metal and installed eight Brodisks around this area. After the installation of the Brodisks, it became possible to discharge the powder stably without operating the knockers at all. Customers interested in this solution are welcome to request a loan. 【Overview】 ■ Hopper Size: 1800×1800 ■ Discharge Outlet: 200A ■ Raw Material: Iron Oxide Powder * Our scope includes the supply of Brodisks and controllers. Modifications to the hopper and installation of Brodisks are to be carried out by the user. * For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous case studies, which can be accessed through the link below.
