Aurora, IN -- Stedman’s new hydraulic shim kits help maintain the desired gap settings on Stedman crushers, reducing costly downtime and maintenance and maximizing production. The hydraulic shim kits also eliminate wrench turning to raise or lower apron assembly.

Everything needed to keep impactors crushing to size is included in the kits. Included are lift bridge weldments for both front and rear apron assemblies, hydraulic cylinders for both front and rear apron assemblies, 3-spool control valve to actuate housing cylinders or apron cylinders, and shims, counterbalance valves on both cylinders for added safety should one of the hydraulic lines fail, and all necessary hydraulic hoses and fittings.

Adding or removing the shims to maintain optimum size product production is easy. When apron gaps need adjusting due to wear, simply perform lockout/tag procedures and raise the apron using the hydraulic cylinder on the lift bridge. Lift bridge is controlled by a 3-spool control valve mounted on the housing. Then unlock the shim fasteners, add or remove the needed shims to reach or maintain the needed gap setting, and lock shim fasteners. Lower the hydraulic cylinder and return to crushing.

Stedman is the originator of the cage mill and is a leading manufacturer of size reduction equipment for the aggregate, chemical, fertilizer, brick and clay, and recycling industries, among others. It offers a full range of high efficiency impactors, cage mills, hammer mills, crushers, and lumpbreakers and fine grinders for crushing, pulverizing, fine grinding, blending or delumping tough, wet and dry materials.

Charlotte, NC -- Spiroflow Systems introduces a new low-profile hoist bulk bag discharger ideal for use where low ceiling heights pose a problem.

Spiroflow's Type 6 Bulk Bag Discharger solves this problem with a low- profile hoist and unloading station operating at a height of only 10.5 feet, compared to over +16 feet required by most bulk bag dischargers on the market when an integral hoist is included on the equipment.

The bulk bag is untied through an access door in the product transfer chute directly under the discharger. Optional equipment includes a flexible screw conveyor and loss-in-weight load cells, enabling batch weights of product to be discharged from the bulk bag as required. Independent pneumatic massage paddles aid the flow of powder from the bag into the discharge chute and conveyor.

The Type 6 is available in carbon or stainless steel models for applications in chemical, food, pharmaceutical and other industries.

Spiroflow is a worldwide supplier of a wide range of both standard and custom powder handling equipment. The company specializes in bulk bag dischargers and fillers, aero-mechanical, flexible and vacuum conveyors and bag packing equipment.
