This is a case we received a call about from a company in Osaka that is engaged in plastic molding. Despite having a very tight deadline for a large order of a new product, they expressed a desire to resolve frequent bridging issues as soon as possible. They brought a sample of the material that was bridging, and upon inspection, it was a type of material we are quite familiar with, so we had no particular concerns. We guided them on the placement of the blow disc and provided the necessary quantity on the spot. We received a report that it was installed the same day and the results were good, and at the same time, they placed an order for the equipment and controller.

This is a case inquiry from a user who has already installed a Brodisk. Although they purchased and installed the Brodisk as a measure against rat holes, they consulted us because they observed that the rat holes had not been resolved upon visual inspection of the inside of the hopper during maintenance. As a countermeasure, we advised them to increase the number of Brodisk installations, reconsider the placement, use a controller with four solenoid valves, and review the air piping (such as tube diameter conditions), which they implemented. After implementing this improvement plan, the user reported that there were no rat holes at all. [Overview of Usage Conditions] (Placement overview and control after improvement) ■ Hopper dimensions: 1500×1500 ■ Approximate dimensions of hopper discharge area: 300×300 ■ Placement overview: 2 units on one side, totaling 8 units installed ■ Control: Air is turned on sequentially in pairs with a time delay using a controller that incorporates four solenoid valves. *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 would like to introduce a case where a Bro-Disk Mini was delivered to a facility primarily engaged in the production of food containers and packaging sheets. The delivery was made as a countermeasure for the bridging issue caused by the crushed material "pellets + powder" in the hopper of the extruder. Initially, the customer requested a loan of the equipment for effectiveness verification, so we sent the necessary quantity. After discussing the arrangement for various hoppers, we proceeded with the testing, and the results were all favorable and well-received. In this case, due to the gentle slope of the hopper, we installed two units near the discharge area and four units above it. 【Overview】 ■ Hopper diameter: 400φ ■ Discharge diameter: 80φ ■ Number of units installed: 6 Bro-Disk Minis ■ Control: Since the air consumption per unit is low, we control all six units to turn ON and OFF simultaneously using a controller with one built-in solenoid valve. *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.

This is a case where a blow disk was adopted for application to new equipment. The application location is the dust collector hopper section. Since the blow disk injects air along the inner surface of the hopper, it is generally the case that the effectiveness does not change significantly even if the installation position is slightly off. The key point this time is that due to the properties of the target material, the air pressure used is high, the air ON time is short, and air aeration is performed in a pulsed manner. [Overview] ■ Hopper approximate dimensions: 2000×2000 (discharge section 200×200) ■ Blow disk arrangement - 3 units per 4 sides, with 1 unit on the lower level and 2 units on the upper level per side (However, only 2 units are installed on one side due to the inspection port) - Both lower and upper levels are positioned quite low, near the discharge port * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous implementation examples.

This is an example we received from a manufacturer of labor-saving machinery. We were consulted because "the customer (in the chemical industry) started adding water to resin powder, and a bridging phenomenon that had not occurred before began to happen in the delivered equipment." The key point this time is that while the flowability of the resin powder before water addition is relatively good, the angle of repose increases due to the addition of water, and there is a possibility of increasing the amount of water added in the future. In this case, considering that the discharge diameter of the hopper is somewhat small at 100A and the worsening of the angle of repose due to increased water addition, we added four mini blow discs (BD-08) just above the 100A discharge section in addition to the four previously mentioned blow discs. After implementation, we followed up and there have been no troubles; it is operating smoothly. 【Overview】 ■ Product Name: Resin Powder ■ Particle Size: 10 to 1000 μm ■ Hopper Shape: Cone 1000φ ■ Discharge Diameter: 100A *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. *Our website features many examples of implementations.

This is an example of adoption that differs from the purpose of eliminating bridges and rat holes. The contents consist of fuel particles approximately a few millimeters in size, and it is necessary to perform nitrogen gas purging to prevent heat generation due to oxidation. Therefore, we decided to adopt a blow disk with the expectation that the gas would be evenly distributed within the tank. Although there was a basic preference for continuous gas purging, maintaining a constant gas flow would result in a significant consumption of gas. On the other hand, reducing the purging pressure was considered detrimental to gas diffusion, so we recommended intermittent operation with four blow disks. It has been operating smoothly without any particular troubles. 【Overview】 ■ Tank diameter: 2500φ ■ Number of blow disks installed: 12 * 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.

In the case of a silo with a capacity of about 50 tons, there were concerns about bridging, and measures against bridging were implemented using foreign-made equipment. However, it seems there were many failures and troubles, which led to the adoption of our equipment. Since then, it has been operating well, and we have received numerous repeat orders. In this case, we installed 12 standard BroaDisks (BD-15) and used a controller with 6 built-in solenoid valves to sequentially turn on air to 6 locations, with 2 BroaDisks at each location. 【Product Specifications】 ■ BroaDisk: BD-15S-W 12 units ■ Controller: C-SV6 1 unit * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous case studies.

We would like to introduce a case where we supplied our "Brodisk Mini" to a powder quantitative supply equipment manufacturer due to concerns about bridging with polymer coagulants. After reviewing the hopper diagram and discussing the properties of the contents, we determined that there were no particular issues. The manufacturer requested to loan this product to obtain user consent for the adoption of the Brodisk, and after the loan, we received consent from the end user, leading to its adoption. Since its introduction, it has been operating smoothly without any problems. 【Overview】 ■ Target Equipment: Polymer Coagulant Dissolution Device ■ Hopper Diameter: 380φ * 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 study implemented as a countermeasure for the issue where "wood powder" accumulates on the walls of the dust collector hopper and occasionally falls in clumps, causing the discharge rotary valve to stop. A total of 12 standard blow disks, three on each side, were installed. By using a controller with six solenoid valves, the blow disks are divided into six locations and sequentially air-jet two at a time, effectively resolving this issue. This product ejects air in a 360° direction along the inner wall of the hopper from the periphery of the elastic disks set on the inner surface of the hopper, thereby easily eliminating the accumulation of wood powder on the hopper walls in this case.

Here is an introduction to a case study on bridge prevention using a relatively small hopper. The material is said to be an elastomer powder, and from what I saw of the sample, it contained a significant amount of powder. Since a test was requested, we lent the necessary quantity of our equipment for the experiment. The results were as expected, and the bridge was resolved immediately. In this case, we installed one Brodie disk (BD-15) on each of the three inclined surfaces, for a total of three. The three disks are turned ON and OFF simultaneously using the controller (C-SV1). [Hopper Conditions] ■ Size: 200×500 ■ Shape: Three inclined surfaces, one vertical ■ Discharge: 40φ from the lower end of the vertical surface *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies.

Regarding the new material, we consulted about bridge measures as we are newly manufacturing the hopper. This is a case where we were contacted because they want to adopt our equipment, as the material is finer than conventional materials and the hopper discharge diameter is also small. For a hopper with a diameter of about 600mm, it is common to install 2 to 3 blow discs (standard type: BD-15), but in this case, in addition to 2 standard types, we installed 2 "blow disc minis" nearby due to the relatively small discharge diameter of 80mm. After installation, we received feedback that "no troubles have occurred at all, and it is operating smoothly." 【Overview】 ■ Hopper diameter: 600mm ■ Hopper discharge diameter: 80mm ■ Material name: Talc ■ Material particle size: D50 of single-digit microns ■ Material apparent specific gravity: approximately 0.3 for loose, 0.5 for compact ■ Material angle of repose: about 40° *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 where the crushing conditions provided by the crusher manufacturer became more detailed, leading to the occurrence of the rat hole phenomenon inside the hopper, and they consulted us saying, "There's nothing we can do!" This time, we installed a solution for the rat hole in the product receiving hopper (250φ) at the bottom of the cyclone. By changing the height and installing three Brody Disk Minis in this hopper, the problem was resolved. 【Equipment Flow】 ■ Crusher → Collection Cyclone → Bottom Hopper of Cyclone → Rotary Valve 【Key Points of This Equipment】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of strength and durability due to 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. A dedicated controller is also available. * For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous implementation examples.

This is an inquiry we received from a repeat customer regarding bridging issues with film grinding products. Film grinding products can be troublesome, and since we were unable to see a sample this time, we suggested considering four Brodie disks (BD-15), which are somewhat over-spec for an 800mm hopper, along with a controller (with four built-in solenoid valves). Ultimately, they decided to use three Brodie disks and a controller (with one built-in solenoid valve), which seemed to carry some risk, but it worked out well. From the perspective of preventing bridging, a larger discharge diameter is always better.

This is a case adopted by a factory primarily engaged in the manufacturing of refractory materials. The hopper in question has a sufficiently large discharge area, and while bridging does not occur, there was an issue with residual material in the four corners due to its square shape. Based on past experience, we advised installing the equipment closer to each corner, and it was set up accordingly. After implementation, the user has reported that they are now able to discharge the entire amount. 【Overview】 ■ Target hopper: Weighing hopper ■ Hopper shape size: Square, 1000×1000 ■ Hopper discharge area size: 300×300 ■ Target material: Mixtures including calcium hydroxide *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous case studies.
