This is an introduction to a case where a customer who has been using our equipment for some time expressed the desire to install an absolute blow disk because the target material has a high moisture content and also contains oil. When we first made contact, regardless of whether they would adopt our equipment, we recommended testing it by lending it out, which allowed them to confirm its effectiveness. Since then, they have been using our products repeatedly. 【Overview】 ■ Installed under a two-way switching damper ■ Hopper size is approximately 1000×500 ■ Quantity: 4 units × 2 hoppers ■ Product specifications: Blow disk BD-15S-B, 8 units *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 a project we received from an engineering company. We were contacted regarding the occurrence of a bridge during weighing at the hopper scale, which happens once every few times. After providing the hopper drawings and information about the contents, we guided them on the placement of the blow disk, and they implemented it. The results, of course, were excellent. [Overview] ■ Hopper Diameter ・700φ ■ Discharge Section ・200A Butterfly Valve ■ Blow Disk Model and Placement ・BD-15 (Standard) ・Two blow disks in two tiers (The second tier is rotated 90 degrees relative to the first tier) ■ Materials ・85% Cement, 15% Silica Fume *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *We have many examples posted on our company website.

This is an introduction to a case where our equipment was adopted at a recycling plant. Due to the urethane powder being kept wet for fire prevention, bridging frequently occurred in the chute section above the screw feeder. At the customer's request to try it out as a last resort, we promptly lent them our product. The results were favorable, and they decided to implement the borrowed equipment as is. [Overview] ■ Chute: Approximately 250×250×300L <Product Specifications> ■ Brodie Disk BD-15S-B: 3 units ■ Controller C-SV4: 1 unit *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies.

To our customers engaged in plant engineering, we have introduced this equipment due to an incident in a past plant where residual material was left on the rounded corners of the hopper. The customer selected the model and planned the layout, and ultimately contacted us to confirm if there were any issues. The model and layout were ideal, and we provided advice on the operating methods, leading to its adoption. 【Overview】 ■ Hopper: 1800×1800 (Bottom: 800φ) ■ Material: Silica-based powder (Bulk density 0.1, Angle of repose 45°) ■ Operating method: Controlled by a built-in controller with 4 solenoid valves, activating 8 blow discs in pairs * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous case studies.

This is a case study of our adoption by an industrial waste disposal contractor. In a quicklime silo, compressed air is being pulsed through several 1/4 air nozzles as a bridge prevention measure, but bridging continues to occur. Even after installing air knockers in addition to the air nozzles, the issue was not resolved, leading them to contact us. When introducing our product, they considered using it alongside the already installed air knockers, but after operating solely with the blow discs for a certain period, they informed us that no bridging had occurred with just this solution. [Overview] ■ Silo diameter: Approximately 3000φ ■ Discharge section: 200φ ■ Target material: Quicklime ■ Equipment control: Controlled by a controller with 6 built-in solenoid valves, sequentially turning on 12 blow discs 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, which can be checked via the link below.

This is a repeat project that we have been hired for. This project was previously adopted a few years ago, and we received feedback from the user that "extremely good results were obtained." This time, we are being hired again for the expansion of a similar line. In this case, we were informed about the properties of the material measured with a powder tester. We would appreciate it if you could provide such data, but even if only the material sample and hopper diagram are provided, we can inform the customer about the optimal arrangement of our equipment based on that information. Please feel free to contact us. [Overview] ■ Trouble Situation - Rat hole in an 1800φ conical hopper - Discharge diameter is 200A, with a typical rat hole forming directly above the discharge section. ■ Material - Name: Confidential (catalyst raw material) - Particle size: Several micrometers - Angle of repose: Approximately 50° - Bulk density: Loose approximately 0.3 / Dense approximately 0.6 *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *We have many examples published on our website.

This is a case where a resin product manufacturer adopted the Brody Disk Mini. They consulted us early on because the target material was bridging inside the hopper during mass production trials, and they wanted to resolve this issue quickly. Considering the user's thoughts, we installed four Brody Disk Minis. The price difference between using two Brody Disk Minis with a controller and using four Brody Disk Minis with a controller is not significant. Given the potential for bridging with other materials that may have poor flow in the future, they decided it would be best to ensure a thorough solution from the start. Since this equipment is economical, I believe such a decision is reasonable. 【Overview】 ■ Hopper: 200mm diameter cone (discharge part is 50mm) ■ Material: Resin tube crushed product (2mm pass) … looks fluffy * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous examples of implementations.
