Here is a case study of a major chemical company that adopted our solution. Despite the hopper's apex angle being approximately 30° (with an inclination of about 75° from the horizontal plane), they consulted us due to difficulties in discharge. Using a hopper that the customer had (not an actual machine), we conducted tests with our loaned equipment, and after subsequent discussions, they adopted our BroaDisk. After the adoption, the discharge issues were resolved, and it has been operating smoothly. 【Case Overview】 ■ Material: Chemical product flakes (approximately 10mm, easily breakable flakes) ■ Hopper ・Diameter: φ1800 ・Discharge diameter: 200A ■ Equipment arrangement: A total of 12 units installed in 4 tiers, with 3 units placed every 120° on the same circumference. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We delivered to a factory that manufactures powdered seasonings and dried powdered foods. At the hopper where the installation of the Brodisk was being considered, it seems there are multiple production items, and in addition to regular cleaning, it was mentioned that chemical cleaning is also performed during product changeovers. The main component of this equipment (the elastic disk, commonly referred to as a silicone disk) is made of silicone, so I believe it has resistance to typical cleaning solutions. However, at the customer's request, we provided a sample piece of this silicone disk before adoption, and it was confirmed in advance just to be safe before proceeding with the adoption. [Case Overview] ■ Hopper Diameter: 500φ ■ Discharge Section Diameter: 2S *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We received a contact from a user stating, 'A bridge is occurring in the raw material hopper section of the molding device, so I would like to borrow a Brody Disk Mini.' They called us first thing in the morning, and we discussed the arrangement of the equipment via email that same day. We shipped the borrowed item immediately, and by the next day, it was installed and tested, resolving the bridge issue on the first try, leading to the customer's decision to adopt it. Since the introduction, there have been no weighing anomalies due to bridging, and they are using it smoothly. Please feel free to request a loan of this equipment. We will deliver it as quickly as possible. Additionally, we can provide advice during the testing process. [Case Overview] ■ Target Material: LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) Ground Material + Virgin Material ■ Hopper Diameter: 280φ *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies.

As a countermeasure against rat holes, we installed vibrators and knockers, but we received a consultation regarding a case where a bridge formed, causing the material to become more compacted due to degassing. First, we received a few hundred cc of hopper drawings and material samples from the customer. After reviewing them, we determined that there were no significant risks and provided guidance on the applicable models and layout. The rat holes and bridging phenomena ceased to occur, and operations have been running smoothly. [Case Overview] ■ Subject: Unknown name (similar properties to powdered milk) ■ Hopper Diameter: 1200φ ■ Discharge Section: 250×250 *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous implementation examples, which can be accessed via the link below.

This is an introduction to a case where a blockage occurs at the discharge section of a bag filter in a facility manufacturing secondary battery materials, and there is a desire for stable discharge. We lent our equipment to the user, who installed it in a small square hopper for testing. Since it was a square hopper, we installed a total of four units, one near each side of the discharge section. As a result, the bridging phenomenon was resolved, but some residual material remained in the four corners. Based on the experimental results, we added four more units slightly above the discharge section, positioned towards the corners of each side. After the installation, the troubles were resolved, and the equipment was also adopted for other machines. 【Case Overview】 ■ Dust Collector Overview - Size: Approximately 2000×2000 - Discharge Section: 150A ■ Challenge: Blockages occur at the discharge section of the bag filter (dust collector), and we want to achieve stable discharge. ■ Result: Troubles were resolved, and the equipment was adopted for other machines. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous implementation examples, which can be checked via the link below.

This is an introduction to trouble cases caused by insufficient hopper inclination (rest angle) to secure hopper capacity. The user installed an upward conical part near the hopper discharge area to disperse powder pressure, but this did not resolve the issue, leading to their inquiry. Upon reviewing the hopper diagram and powder sample, we determined that there was no significant risk and provided a countermeasure proposal using our equipment. We have heard that it was implemented promptly and is now operating smoothly. 【Case Overview】 ■ Hopper: Approximately 2000×1500 ■ Inclination: Gentle surface below 50° ■ Discharge: Single-axis screw feeder ■ Material: Aluminum hydroxide powder (moisture content a few percent) ■ Control: Using a controller with 12 blow discs and 6 built-in solenoid valves, air is sequentially turned ON in pairs with a time delay. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous implementation examples.

This is an introduction to a case where our Bro-Disk was adopted as a replacement due to troubles with the bridge breaker. The originally installed bridge breaker was damaged in a short period of time, so as a countermeasure, our bridge breaker was installed. The main components of our bridge breaker, the Bro-Disk, are made of a highly superior special silicone rubber, which provides outstanding durability and reliability compared to general silicone rubber, even when installed inside silos and hoppers for powdered materials. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Bro-Disk BD-15S-B 8 pieces *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies.

This is an introduction to a case requested by a representative from a major trading company. Due to a change in the target material (raw material), the powder discharge from the storage hopper has become unstable, and we were asked to implement measures immediately. After hearing about the current situation and the specifications of the equipment, we provided a proposal for immediate countermeasures on the same day. All the recommended equipment is in stock, allowing for immediate delivery. [Case Overview] ■ User: Automotive parts industry ■ Target Equipment: Extruder (raw material storage hopper) ■ Hopper: Diameter 500φ, discharge 125A, hopper incline 45° ■ Discharge Device: Slide gate valve (adjustable opening) ■ Target Powder: Thermoplastic resin powder *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies.

This is an introduction to a case where the Brody Disk Mini was used as a solution for the strong adhesion of powder coatings at a powder equipment manufacturer. Based on the results of preliminary tests, we installed a total of 6 units: 2 on the lower section (near the discharge area) and 4 on the upper section. The main component of this device, the elastic disk, is made of silicone (special silicone) in standard models; however, in this case, we used EPDM material due to the nature of the substance being powder coating. [Case Overview] ■ Arrangement - 2 units on the lower section (near the discharge area) - 4 units on the upper section ■ Product Specifications - Brody Disk Mini BD-08S-EW *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous implementation examples, which can be accessed via the link below.
