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.

We have delivered this equipment to facilities primarily engaged in soil treatment. After loading materials into the hopper of the screw feeder, we received a consultation from you because the materials were getting stuck at the top of the screw when the operation was stopped for several days. After reviewing the material samples, we proposed an installation plan, which you adopted immediately, and since then, it has been operating smoothly. 【Overview】 ■ Hopper - Size: 1200×1200 - Discharge section: 1200×300 - Inclination angle: just under 70° ■ Blade disk arrangement - Three disks on each of the two inclined surfaces, for a total of six, positioned close to the screw *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies.

This time, the target material is resin powder, which cannot be said to have good fluidity, but we adopted this equipment to prevent bridging caused by the opening and closing of the butterfly valve at the discharge section. In this case, in addition to four blow disks, we have installed four mini blow disks near the bottom of the hopper, close to the valve body, to address powder clogging caused by the butterfly valve. We were informed that the final user's evaluation after the equipment started operation was 95 points. Thank you very much. 【Overview】 ■ Hopper diameter: 1200φ ■ Discharge section: 200A butterfly valve * For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. * Our website features many implementation examples.

Our equipment is being utilized in various fields related to recycling, and this example pertains to the recycling of waste gypsum boards. Originally, the user had coated the inner surface of the hopper to improve flow, but they consulted us due to frequent bridging issues. After installing our equipment, they reported that there were no more bridging problems, and they gave us high praise. Thank you for your adoption.

This is an introduction to a case where the powder did not drop at all from the hopper, and despite various attempts, nothing worked. Knockers and vibrators were not effective, and a homemade aeration system created by modifying the piping also had no effect. We received a call expressing interest in trying a blow disk. After discussing the situation and receiving examples of what did not work from the customer, we decided on the arrangement and quantity of our equipment, lent out product samples, and conducted a trial. The result was positive; the blockage was resolved, and the customer decided to adopt the blow disk (mini) and controller.
