Solids Handling

These IBCs don’t need vibrating discharge stations

A new range of this company’s Lynflow Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) have been designed specifically for the storage and transportation of difficult-flowing bulk materials. The polypropylene-molded IBCs are fully interchangeable with conventionally shaped bins, but have a smooth, low-friction internal…

This classifying cutter has a proprietary rotor design

The Model SCC-15-SS Screen Classifying Cutter is a high-torque, low-speed unit that reduces hard materials and friable products into controlled particle sizes. Its proprietary rotor design features cutter bits that are attached to a helical array of staggered holders called…

Particle-size reduction

For most solids-processing operations in the chemical process industries (CPI), particle-size reduction and screening (classification) to achieve the desired particle-size are required, since processes rarely produce the desired size directly. When designing processes, selecting equipment and looking for ways to…

Enhanced screening, now available in stainless steel

The Russell Compact Sieve is said to offer considerable benefits over conventional spring-mounted systems. In addition to quieter operation [typically less than 70 dB(A)], the screener is able to transmit significantly more vibration to the mesh screen surface. This, combined…

Blending, Sampling and Segregation

Blending and segregation are two opposite and competing processes in solids handling that ideally fit the expression “two sides of the same coin.” But, if you think about it, coins have three sides and sampling completes the idiomatic expression perfectly.…

This large-capacity mill has design features of smaller ones

The new 36-in. Orbital Bottom Side Feed Mill is designed to process 3,000–6,000-lb/h capacities, and combines design features normally found only in smaller mills, says the manufacturer. The combination of the bottom side feed and orbital-mill design elements is said…

Granulate and recycle plastics waste for less energy

Among the products being exhibited at the Fakuma Plastics Recycling Trade Show (Friedrichshafen, Germany; October 16–20) is the Granulator SML 45/60 SB with forced feeding (patent pending). This unit has a special granulator design that can considerably reduce its energy…

A pelletizing system for smaller-scale production

With a production flowrate of up to 600 kg/h, the Sphero 50 underwater pelletizing system can be applied in testing plants and smaller production plants with pelletizing options for virgin polymers, masterbatches, compounds, recycling, organic and wood-based polymers, and more.…

This conveyor is designed for sanitary duty

The P-Series Venturi Loaders are designed specifically for conveying powders in sanitary food, pharmaceutical and chemical applications. The P-Series products can be used for loading hoppers, as well as for loss-in-weight feeder-refill applications. The efficient and compact venturi power unit…

This solids discharger has a heavy-duty massaging system

The Material Master bulk bag and drum discharger features the heavy-duty Flo-Master breaker bar massaging system for bulk bags that promotes product discharge. These units are custom-designed according to the specific application requirements, and have stainless-steel surfaces where product is…
