At the chemical manufacturer's plant, the dewatered cake is stored in a hopper before being supplied to the drying equipment. However, a rat hole forms in this hopper, which is why they adopted our bridge breaker. After reviewing the hopper drawings and samples, we provided examples of the equipment layout and control. For the layout, we proposed a total of 7 Brody disks (standard type): 3 disks on the central inclined surface of the three surfaces, and 2 disks each on the remaining two adjacent surfaces. Since the user wanted to test the equipment, we lent them these 7 disks, and they confirmed the effectiveness through manual air injection. The test results were favorable, and they have since adopted the equipment along with a controller for automatic control. [Case Summary] ■ Target: Unknown name (although it is a dewatered cake, it appears powdery) ■ Hopper Overview: Approximately 2000×1200 with three inclined surfaces (one surface is vertical) ■ Discharge: Dual-axis feeder *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The incineration ash is said to form a rat hole shape in the dust collector hopper, so we would like to introduce a case where our bridge breaker "Brodisk" was adopted as a countermeasure. The arrangement of the Brodisk consists of three units on one side, with a total of 11 units installed, as only one of the four sides has an LS. In this case, the following details were used to resolve the issue. 【Usage Overview】 ■ Hopper dimensions: Approximately 2000×2000 ■ Target material: Incineration ash (quicklime) ■ Existing countermeasure: Air injection in the discharge direction (ineffective against rat holes) ■ Control - The Brodisk is activated sequentially with a time delay, with two units (only one at one location) controlled by a controller that incorporates six solenoid valves. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Here is a case study of our adoption by a chemical manufacturer. "We experienced significant adhesion of flake-like material on the interior surface of the hopper, and despite installing numerous buff finishes and knockers, it was unsuccessful," they contacted us. The customer's requests were twofold: to borrow the equipment for effectiveness verification and to provide sample pieces for evaluating the resistance of the equipment's elastic disk (silicone disk). We responded promptly to the above requests, and after the customer conducted confirmation tests, they determined it to be effective and adopted our solution. [Case Overview] - Hopper Diameter: φ800 - Discharge Diameter: φ300 - Target Material: Chemical products, flake ground products, approximately 50-200μm *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case where the issue of maintaining quantitative supply was resolved by installing this equipment due to the bridging occurring in the hopper of the quantitative feeder (screw feeder). Five BroaDisk "BD-15S-B" units and one controller "C-SV4" were installed. Although the fourth solenoid valve was not used this time, it can be utilized in the future if additional BroaDisks are installed. 【Case Overview】 ■ Hopper: 1200×1500, 3 inclined surfaces (1 vertical) ■ Arrangement - 2 units on each of the 2 surfaces along the screw - 1 unit on the remaining inclined surface - A total of 5 units installed ■ Target materials: Lime powder, cement, etc. 【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.

We would like to introduce a case where our bridge breaker "Brodisk" was utilized in the development department of a chemical manufacturer. There were many types of powders used, and about half of them experienced flow issues from the hopper, leading to problems such as rat-hole formation even after stirring with a rod. Additionally, the hopper was deformed due to hammering, and our device was adopted in line with the hopper's refurbishment. Although it is used manually (with manual air ON/OFF), we have received high praise for the significant improvement compared to before. 【Case Overview】 ■ Hopper dimensions: 600×600 ■ Discharge dimensions: 100A ■ Powder particle size: approximately 10 to 100 microns ■ Powder bulk density: 0.2 to 0.6 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Due to the contents getting stuck in the reducer at the bottom of the grinding product tank of the grain grinding device, we would like to introduce a case that was adopted. After an inquiry from the customer, there was a request to see the actual product, so we installed the standard Broady Disk model "BD-15" on a resin plate that simulated the hopper wall and lent it out. The client connected air to it, and although it was just the Broady Disk alone, they confirmed the air injection and the vibration of the elastic disk. They commented, especially regarding the vibration, "It's beyond our expectations! It seems we can achieve sufficient effect!" After that, discussions were held regarding the arrangement and control of the Broady Disk, leading to its adoption. [Case Overview] ■ Material: Soybean grinding product ■ Installed reducer dimensions: Approximately φ600 → φ150 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
