The target material is crushed insulation material, but its variety and condition change daily, and there are times when bridging occurs, so we consulted on countermeasures. The hopper size is approximately 1000×1500 (the discharge section is 200×200). At the customer's request, we first decided to install 4 rental units near the discharge section for testing. As a result, it was found that adding 4 more units higher up from the initial 4 near the discharge section would be better, and ultimately, 8 blow disks were introduced. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Blow Disk: BD-15S-B, 8 units ■ Controller: C-SV4, 1 unit *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

A customer who installed the Brodisk a few years ago has decided to adopt it again. The material is the same powder as last time. Upon checking the condition of the previous installation, it was found that the inner wall of the hopper around the Brodisk elastic disk had worn down, resulting in a mirror-like polished state. As a countermeasure for this issue, we have decided to install a rubber sheet approximately φ180 between the Brodisk and the inner surface of the hopper. While the inner surface of the hopper is as mentioned above, there were no issues with the elastic disk of the Brodisk or the shaft. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Brodisk: BD-15S-B x 4 ■ Controller: C-SV4 x 1 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

In the case of the customer who contacted us this time, a scraper was installed near the discharge area as a measure to improve the discharge issues from a silo containing adhesive materials. However, although no bridging occurs in that area, a rat hole develops above the scraper, which led the customer to contact us. After discussing the model and layout, the results of the implementation were as expected and satisfactory. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Brody Disk: BD-15S-B, 12 units ■ Controller: C-SV6, 1 unit 【Key Points of This Equipment】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of the risk of foreign material contamination, as strength and durability are crucial.

This is a case you inquired about regarding measures against bridging caused by fibrous materials. After the material was introduced, bridging occurred in a short time, and despite manual hammering, there was no effect. Since hammering was ineffective, resolving the issue with a striking-type bridge breaker was difficult. Upon receiving and checking the material sample you sent, we determined it was at a level we have experienced before. After providing advice on the arrangement of the broaching disks, you implemented our recommendations. Since the installation of this equipment, no bridging has occurred. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Broaching Disks: BD-15S-W, 4 pieces ■ Controller: C-SV4, 1 unit 【Key Points of This Equipment】 ■ The elastic disks (silicone) are very important in terms of the risk of foreign material contamination, as well as strength and durability.

We received an inquiry regarding the issue of the hopper of the circle feeder becoming rat-hole shaped. After you sent us a sample and we confirmed it, we determined that there is sufficient value in considering it. The user prepared a φ1000 hopper, and after installing four standard Brody disks on it and confirming the effectiveness, it was adopted for the actual machine. Additionally, we provided advice on the placement and control methods for the test machine and the actual machine. Placement is particularly important, so we welcome any inquiries you may have. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Brody Disk: BD-15S-B, 16 pieces *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

As a measure against titanium dioxide bridging, it has been installed in the hopper of the air transport device. According to user experience, there are no particular issues with the bottom of the hopper, which is equipped with a sintered metal mesh strainer. However, to prevent bridging in the hopper above, a blow disk has been adopted. In this case, the standard blow disk type (BD-15) is being used, but for materials with very poor fluidity, we may recommend a version with a higher air volume (BD-20). 【Product Specifications】 ■ Blow Disk: BD-15S-B x 3 ■ Controller: C-SV1 x 1 【Key Points of This Equipment】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of the risk of foreign matter contamination, as well as strength and durability.
