We received an urgent inquiry from the customer regarding a matter. "It does not drop with hammering (therefore it is likely not suitable for a knocker)," and "based on experience, it tightens with a vibrator" were the situations described. After confirming the sample and hopper diagram, we will inform you of the recommended model, layout, and control examples. The customer has installed items such as a blow disk, and the operating results have been favorable. Based on our past experiences, we provide guidance that aligns with the customer's problem-solving needs. We have been able to assist with a high probability so please feel free to consult us. [Overview] ■ Hopper dimensions: approximately 2000×1800 ■ Discharge: transported by a lower belt conveyor ■ Target item: name undisclosed, appearance resembles compost (bulk density 0.5, moisture content 40%) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Although there is an agitator in the hopper to prevent bridging, we have improved the issue of bridging occurring in areas that it cannot reach. The process for implementation began with reviewing the hopper diagram and contents, followed by conducting tests using four "Standard Blowing Disks." The test results were favorable, and we adopted the "Controller (C-SV1)" with one built-in solenoid valve. 【Overview】 ■ Target material: Powdered wallpaper scraps (appearance is cotton-like), bulk density is about 0.2 ■ Hopper: 800×800, 2 vertical sides, 2 inclined sides ■ Discharge device: Screw feeder ■ Mixer: Located near the center of the hopper ■ Situation: Bridging between the mixing blades and the screw feeder ■ Countermeasure: Installation of blowing disks at the bridging area mentioned above (2 disks per inclined side, totaling 4 disks) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce an example of our product installed on a hopper scale. There was a request to minimize the amount of air as much as possible, so we installed a total of four "Blow Disk Mini" units, two at different heights. Depending on the size of the discharge section, it is also possible to install the Blow Disk for a φ600 hopper. In this case, considering the amount of air, our product was adopted. [Overview] ■ Hopper diameter: φ600 ■ Discharge size: φ100 ■ Equipment overview: Target hopper - rotary valve - air transport load cell ■ Target powder: Not disclosed (while the flowability is not particularly poor, bridging occurs without measures) ■ Equipment arrangement: A total of four Blow Disk Mini units installed, two at different heights *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Due to frequent troubles with aeration in the existing silo, we consulted and introduced the "Brodie Disk." The contents are sodium bicarbonate, and aeration was being done with nozzles to prevent bridging. However, issues such as "rat holes forming" and "nozzles clogging" occurred, and these problems have been resolved with this equipment. The Brodie Disk is easy to install and economical, but placement is important, so please do not hesitate to contact us. We also offer free rentals of this equipment. 【Overview】 ■ Silo Diameter: φ1800 ■ Discharge Diameter: 200A ■ Target Material: Fine Powder Sodium Bicarbonate 【Key Points of This Equipment】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of strength and durability, especially considering the risk of foreign material 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. A dedicated controller is also available. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where our product was installed to prevent bridging in a hopper with very fine grinding materials. In this case, the customer had previously experienced damage due to wear in the transport piping of this material, and they were concerned about whether the hopper walls would wear due to air injection from the blow disk. By placing a wear-resistant rubber sheet between the blow disk and the inner wall of the hopper, the system is now operating without any issues. 【Installation Overview】 ■ Hopper dimensions: 800×800 ■ Discharge: Screw feeder ■ Equipment arrangement: A total of 4 standard type (BD-15) units installed, one on each side ■ Control: A controller (C-SV4) with 4 built-in solenoid valves operates each unit individually with relatively low pressure air, with a relatively longer air ON time for each activation ■ Rubber sheet: φ200 (larger size, smaller size is also acceptable) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We adopted the 'Brodisk' because the resin pellets from waste plastic were bridging in the hopper and could not be filled into the bulk bag. Although the flowability of the material is not particularly poor, there were issues with discharge due to the gentle slope of the hopper. In cases with this level of flowability and hopper size, it is common to install one unit per side near the discharge area (a total of four units). However, in this case, due to the gentle slope of the hopper, we installed two units per side (a total of eight units). Additionally, the air ON time was set slightly longer. [Overview] ■ Material: Resin pellets Φ5×20–30 (with variations in shape and size) ■ Hopper: 1400×1400 Discharge section 250A *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where the "Brodie Disk Mini" was adopted to address the issue of small discharge diameter causing blockages. Due to the very poor fluidity of the powder characteristics and the small diameter of the discharge section, blockages occurred just above the discharge section, which was resolved. When we were contacted, there was a request to borrow this equipment, and based on the test results, it was deemed effective and adopted. Additionally, we provided advice on the arrangement during the testing phase. 【Installation Overview】 ■ Hopper Diameter: Φ800 ■ Discharge Section Diameter: 80A ■ Target Material: Fine powder, very poor fluidity ■ Model/Arrangement: Brodie Disk Mini - Installed 8 units in 3 tiers above the discharge section (2 units in the lower tier, 2 units in the middle tier, 4 units in the upper tier) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
