A controller with four built-in solenoid valves is used for the eight installed BroaDisks. The BroaDisks are turned on sequentially in pairs at four locations. The ON time, OFF time (between ONs), and interval time are set according to the characteristics of the powder (particle size, particle size distribution, particle shape, angle of repose, moisture content, adhesiveness, flowability, etc.), hopper conditions, and powder discharge/supply speed, as the situation regarding powder blockage and bridging rat holes varies. When multiple BroaDisks are installed, it is more effective to turn them on sequentially at multiple locations, as in this case, rather than turning them all on simultaneously. In the case of aeration for powder hoppers like the BroaDisk, it is not necessary to constantly flow air. [Hopper Overview] ■ Diameter: 2300φ ■ Straight body section: 2000H ■ Conical section: 2000H ■ Angle of repose: 60 degrees *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The elastic disk of the Brodisk is made of a special silicone rubber (for standard specifications) that excels in durability and strength. However, if you are using solvents, you can confirm the resistance in advance. For customers considering the installation of the "Brodisk Mini," after conducting immersion tests with the elastic disk pieces to check the resistance to the solvents used, you can confidently install the Brodisk. Feel free to request test disk pieces; we will send them to you immediately. In addition to special silicone, we also offer EPDM (ethylene propylene rubber) for the elastic disks. Please feel free to consult us about other materials. [Overview] - Immersion tests can be conducted with elastic disk pieces. - Resistance to the solvents used can be confirmed. - The Brodisk can be installed with confidence. - Elastic disks are available in special silicone as well as EPDM. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We introduce an example of a Brody disk that solved the clogging of dewatered cake in a vertical chute connecting a decanter-type continuous centrifuge and a subsequent dryer. The Brody disk is primarily used to address blockages and bridge rat hole phenomena in powdery materials (dry), but there are cases where it has completely resolved user issues by being used with wet powder (cake) as in this instance. Of course, not all issues are resolved, but there are cases where problems can be easily solved depending on the conditions. 【Chute Overview】 <Clogging Section> ■ Shape: Square/Round Chute ■ Dimensions: Upper 400×500, Lower 300φ, Height 300 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

A blockage occurred in the vertical pipe (250φ×300L) between the powder feeder for raw material measurement and the raw material hopper, so we installed a Bro-Disk Mini to resolve the issue. In this case, the user had originally installed an air knocker on the upper raw material hopper due to the inherently poor flowability of the powder. However, after changing the source of the raw material recently, blockages began to occur in the vertical pipe below the hopper, leading them to install an air knocker there as well, but it had little effect. Subsequently, they became interested in the Bro-Disk, and after testing it, they achieved a 100% resolution. For blockages in chutes and pipes containing powder, air aeration and vibration-type bridge breakers, as well as the Bro-Disk Mini, are effective. *We have many case studies published on our website.

Broaddisk has a diverse track record of solving challenges that cannot be addressed by other methods, but of course, not everything is perfect. We may also suggest methods that we believe are optimal for our customers, even if they are not our products. Please feel free to consult us. 【Cases from chemical-related users】 Powder name: Unknown A powder that solidifies when squeezed, has moisture, and is adhesive in nature. In the case of impact-type and vibration-type bridge breakers, the powder tends to compact. Therefore, the user had been using an expensive agitator to address the bridging issue. However, it seems that even with the agitator, there was residual powder remaining on the walls. This time, by utilizing the Broaddisk, we were able to eliminate the bridging, reduce costs, and also resolve the wall residue issue. If aeration to the hopper is possible, this is a cost-effective and low-effort solution. In addition to that, Broaddisk offers a combined effect of aeration along the walls and vibration, unlike regular aerators (aeration equipment). *We have published numerous implementation examples on our website.

This is a case study introducing the bridge breaker "Brodisk." The Brodisk was effective in addressing clogging issues near the lift valve for discharging fine powder stored in a rectangular container. The flow of the powder was unstable ⇒ could not be improved with impact-type equipment ⇒ easily resolved with air aeration and vibration! 【Details】 Container dimensions: approximately 900□ × 1000H Powder overview: average particle size of less than 10 microns, slightly high moisture content, and a moist feel. * Due to the square hopper design, one unit was installed near the lift valves on each side, totaling four units. * By using a controller with four built-in solenoid valves and sequentially turning them on one by one, the clogging near the fine powder container discharge area was resolved.

This is an introduction to the implementation case of the bridge breaker "Brodisk." [Details] Initially, we installed only a few in the hopper, and a space was created only near the locations where the Brodisk was installed. As a result, we increased the quantity, which allowed for stable discharge. With materials that had high moisture and oil content, which were not improved by other methods, we achieved sufficient results by closely installing the Brodisk, even with a gentle hopper incline. The Brodisk is low-cost, so even with many installations, the expenses are limited. [Key Points of This Equipment] - The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of strength and durability, especially regarding the risk of foreign matter 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. We also have a dedicated controller available. We have published numerous implementation examples on our website. You can check them out via the link below.

To enhance the discharge effect of "dextrin" used in health foods and confectionery from silos, we have adopted the BroaDisk. Since the installation of the equipment, there have been no occurrences of bridging phenomena or other blockages, allowing for stable discharge. We have installed eight BroaDisks for a 1600φ silo. While it may seem like a somewhat high number, the BroaDisk is low-cost, making it easy to introduce multiple units. This enables even more stable discharge. Additionally, the operation does not activate all eight units simultaneously; instead, they are turned on sequentially at multiple locations, which limits air usage.

To prevent oxidation of powder materials, nitrogen gas is supplied to the blow disk instead of compressed air, resolving the bridging phenomenon of the powder. Even when using inert gases such as nitrogen or argon, similar effects can be achieved as with air. Additionally, the use of inert gases poses no issues for the blow disk. Our blow disk and blow disk mini do not require a continuous flow of air or inert gases. Generally, a short burst of a few seconds (injection of air or inert gas along with vibration) is sufficient to achieve the desired effect. Therefore, the consumption of air or gas is limited, making the use of inert gases cost-effective in many cases. If you are facing issues with powders and granules, please feel free to consult us.
