We received an inquiry from a machinery equipment manufacturer regarding a new silo installation project, and we would like to introduce a case where we supplied "Brodie Disks." The inquiry was based on their past experience with issues related to bridges, and they wanted to ensure adequate measures were taken for this new project. We installed 24 standard Brodie Disks: 4 on the first level, 4 on the second level, 8 on the third level, and 8 on the fourth level. Due to the shape of the silo (such as the angle of inclination), there was a possibility of not installing the fourth level and opting for 16 disks instead. However, considering the variations in the proportions of different powder types and seasonal risks, we decided to install 24 disks. [Case Overview] ■ Material: Wood planer dust, fine powder, sanding dust ■ Silo Diameter: Ø3800 ■ Discharge Outlet Dimensions: 300×300 ■ Discharge Device: Rotary Valve ■ Silo Volume: 40m3 ■ Discharge Rate: 10–20m3/hr *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where our "Brodisk" has been helpful in a manufacturing plant for grinding and polishing tools. The user consulted us about a bridge formation in the hopper of the powder feeder, which could not be resolved by the impact of a knocker or the vibration of a vibrator. First, we listened to the characteristics of the material and checked the hopper drawings. After that, we informed them of the recommended model and layout of our equipment and lent them a "Brodisk Mini." After testing it, the user found the results satisfactory and decided to additionally introduce a controller. 【Target Hopper】 ■ Size: 200×200 ■ Discharge section: 30×80 ■ Discharge mechanism: Screw ■ Inclined surfaces: 3 surfaces (1 surface is vertical) ■ Layout: One unit installed on each of the two opposing inclined surfaces out of the three mentioned above. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where a plant and maintenance operator ordered "Blow Disks." In the production of hoppers for a beverage manufacturer, it was anticipated that clogging might occur at the hopper discharge section based on past experiences. Therefore, at the user's request, we were consulted about adopting "Blow Disks." After detailed discussions (regarding contents, hopper diagrams, control methods, etc.), the system was implemented. Currently, the equipment is operational at the user's site, and there have been no occurrences of bridging or powder clogs. [Case Overview] ■ Hopper Diameter: Φ900 ■ Discharge Diameter: 150A ■ Contents: Dried hop powder ■ Equipment Layout Control - Four "Blow Disks" installed near the discharge section (two at different heights) - Air aeration controlled by a controller, with each disk activated in a staggered manner *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where our "Brodisk" was implemented at a plant engineering company. The customer consulted us, stating that although they were performing aeration, they were unable to resolve the issue of silica fume hanging in the hopper. Based on the hopper diagram (current aeration method and position) and the sample of the material in question, we provided guidance on model selection, layout, and control examples. Following this, the implementation was completed, leading to the resolution of the problem. 【Case Overview】 ■ Hopper Diameter: Φ1600 ■ Outlet Diameter: 200A ■ Contents: Silica fume (ultrafine powder: less than 10μm) ■ Implementation Overview - Arranged 4 standard "Brodisk" units in 2 tiers - A total of 8 "Brodisk" units were used for aeration, with 2 units each *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where "Brodisk" was adopted in a recycling-related plant. The customer consulted us about wanting to install this equipment at the discharge section of a large dust collector (above the discharge screw) due to the occurrence of shelf hanging. After detailed discussions, we provided a countermeasure proposal, and based on this proposal, the equipment was introduced, resolving the customer's issue. [Case Overview] ■ Dust Collector Hopper Dimensions: 2000×6000 ■ Brodisk Arrangement - 12 units on 2 sides along the discharge screw (slightly above the screw) ■ Brodisk Control - A controller with 6 built-in solenoid valves is used - 24 Brodisks are aerated in groups of 4 with a time delay *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where the "Brodisk Mini" was implemented as a measure against the adhesion and clogging of ceramic powder. In cases of powder bridging with a hopper of approximately Φ250, it is common to install two units of this equipment. However, due to the strong adhesion in this case, a total of four Brodisk Minis were installed. As a result, the user's issues were resolved. 【Case Overview】 ■ Installation Target: Installed on the conical hopper above the rotary valve ■ Hopper Overview ・ Diameter: Φ200 ・ Discharge Diameter: Φ80 ・ Inclination: 60° ■ Contents: Ceramic powder (very fine powder, poor fluidity, strong adhesion) *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where "Brodisk" was adopted at a facility engaged in resin molding for automotive parts and various containers. A bridge occurred in the hopper for crushed high-density polyethylene, and this device was installed to prevent it. The problem was solved in one go. In this case, there was a request to try the device before purchase, so we lent out the actual product for them to confirm its effectiveness. 【Case Overview】 ■ Target Material - Crushed high-density polyethylene - Size approximately 3-5mm ■ Hopper - 450×450 - 3-sided incline (about 45°) *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of the "Brodie Disk" as a countermeasure for bridging in the upper hopper of a circle feeder. The customer planned to supply cellulose fibers with a length of 2-3mm using a circle feeder. They mentioned having struggled with air knockers in the past. Having experienced similar materials before, we provided a quotation based on the model, layout examples, and equipment. After the implementation, there have been no occurrences of bridging, and the system is operating smoothly. 【Case Overview】 ■ Target Material: Cellulose fibers (length 2-3mm, high moisture content) ■ Hopper Dimensions: 1200×1200 ■ Hopper Discharge Diameter: Ø300 ■ Control: 12 Brodie Disks (BD-15) controlled by a controller (C-SV6) with 6 built-in solenoid valves, sequentially aerating in pairs with a time difference. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
