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.

We informed them that there were no significant risks observed with the powder sample we reviewed. The person in charge contacted us expressing a desire to see the actual blow disk, so we set it up on a plate that simulated the hopper wall and sent it to them. The customer connected air to it and observed the air injection and vibration of the blow disk, concluding that "this should work." They decided to proceed with the installation. The results, of course, have been favorable.

We have received numerous adoptions of our equipment from customers who operate a large number of SUS square bulk containers. Initially, the containers were only used within the same facility, but as they began transporting them externally, vibrations during truck transport caused the contents to compact, leading to discharge issues. To address this, we were contacted to borrow four units of our standard model (BD-15). Since they needed one unit for each side of the square hopper, a total of four units were requested for installation. After discussing various conditions and determining that there were no particular issues, we provided advice on the installation locations and promptly lent them the units. The test results were extremely favorable, leading to the decision to adopt our equipment for all containers used in truck transport. 【Overview】 ■ Container size: Approximately 1000×1000 ■ Discharge section: 250φ ■ Target material: Chemicals * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous case studies.

We received a consultation regarding the "model selection and layout plan" as the customer wanted to install a Brodie disk as a bridge countermeasure in a relatively small shoot section. Initially, the customer was considering installing a total of four units, one on each side, but we recommended installing two units on each of the sloped surfaces (for a total of four units). The model is the Brodie Disk Mini (BD-08S-B). As a result, it is, of course, operating well. 【Overview】 ■ Installation target hopper - Upper: 500×100 - Bottom: 200×100 * Corner hopper with two sides at a 60° slope and two sides vertical ■ Target material: Iron powder * 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 a case we received from an automatic machine manufacturer who mentioned they have hardly any experience handling powder particles. We were consulted about a prototype device requested by the user, which was experiencing powder clogging issues. It features a round hopper with a diameter of 200 mm, a discharge diameter of 50 mm, and a straight body height of approximately 300 mm. Although it is a small hopper, we were informed that materials would be loaded up to the top, so we recommended installing two Brody Disk Minis at different heights, which they adopted. As a result, they evaluated that it worked well. 【Product Specifications】 ■ Brody Disk Mini: BD-08S-B, 2 units *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous examples of implementations.

This is a case adopted by a business primarily engaged in the molding of resin products. When introducing a new hopper, the mixing ratio of crushed material and virgin material was changed, which led to the occurrence of bridging that had not happened with this material before. They contacted us expressing a desire to try the BroaDisk. After receiving information about the hopper and materials, we promptly decided to send a demo unit. After providing the ideal arrangement for the BroaDisk (mini), the user experimented with various air pressures and aeration times, and they evaluated that the issue of clogging was resolved, leading to the adoption of our equipment. 【Overview】 ■ Hopper diameter: Approximately 300φ ■ Discharge diameter: Approximately 30φ ■ Inclined section: More gentle than typical ones * For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous implementation examples.

We received a call from a machinery manufacturer regarding a newly delivered device where they have installed multiple air knockers but are still unable to eliminate the bridging issue, and they would like our consultation. After reviewing the hopper drawings and material samples, we recommended the installation of eight standard BroaDisk units, which they agreed to implement. The elastic disk (silicone disk) of the BroaDisk is compliant with food hygiene standards, making it suitable for various applications in the food industry. At the customer's request, we have submitted a report on food hygiene testing for this product. 【BroaDisk Arrangement and Operation】 - Two BroaDisks are arranged on each side, totaling eight units. - The controller, which incorporates four solenoid valves, sequentially activates two BroaDisks at a time with a time delay. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies.

As a countermeasure for bridging in powder coatings, we first received a request to lend this equipment. When lending, there was a specification that the material of the demo unit (elastic disk part) should be something other than silicone, so we prepared and lent a model made of EPDM (ethylene propylene rubber). The hopper has an overview of approximately 600mm in diameter, so we recommended installing three BroaDisk (BD-15 type) and, since the discharge section is relatively small, we suggested placing three BroaDisk Mini (BD-08 type) in that area, and testing was conducted under these conditions. The results were favorable, and it was decided to adopt this equipment and controller. 【Product Specifications】 ■ BroaDisk: BD-15S-EW 3 units ■ BroaDisk Mini: BD-08S-EW 3 units ■ Controller: C-SV1 1 unit * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous implementation examples.

We received inquiries from users who had already purchased the Brodisk Mini regarding the installation position and the air pressure to be used. Regarding air pressure, since it is the Brodisk Mini, we recommended starting with approximately 0.2 MPa. Additionally, based on experience, we suggested installing two Brodisk Minis closer to the discharge area rather than 100 mm above it, and then installing two more above these two. Later, they implemented this configuration and reported that there were no blockages at all. 【Hopper Overview】 ■ Hopper Diameter: 600φ ■ Discharge Section: 1.5S *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous implementation examples.
