Triple/S Dynamics Acquires FEC
Conveyor Product Line
November 2002, Dallas, TX -- Triple/S
Dynamics has added the X-Force Conveyor and the other product
handling lines of equipment previously designed and supplied by Food
Engineering Corp (FEC) to its lines of conveying equipment.
A
core group of sales, application, design, and project engineers,
formerly associated with FEC, have joined Triple/S in forming a new
office in Minneapolis to serve the food processing industry with the
best combination of features and benefits found in sanitary conveyor
systems today.
Triple/S' acquisition includes the
rights and information required to manufacture these products, and
to support the installed base of equipment with parts and service.
New Horizontal Motion Conveyors can be tailored to the requirements
of each application as Slipstick Conveyors, X-Force Conveyors, or a
blend of features of each.
In addition to the X-Force, Triple/S
will also supply FEC's vibratory, slat, and sanitary belt
conveyors. Other new equipment includes surge units, enrobers
and other specialty processing equipment.
Since 1888, Triple/S Dynamics has
been providing specialized dry bulk-material separation and
conveying equipment to the food, chemical, agricultural, mining,
recycling and other material processing industries.

Burn
Guard
TIVAR 88 Now Available in Flame
Retardant Grade
Fort Wayne, Ind. - Poly Hi Solidur
announces the addition of TIVAR 88 w/BurnGuard to its TIVAR 88
product family. The new product maintains all the key properties of
TIVAR 88 - extremely low coefficient of friction, high abrasion and
corrosion-resistance, long wear-life - with the added benefit of a
flame retardant package that doesn't fuel flames.
According
to Joe Wolfcale, Business Unit Manager, System TIVAR Engineering,
TIVAR 88 w/BurnGuard's MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration)
approval should allay concerns about polymers burning when used in
coal and other bulk material handling applications where the
material could be exposed to a hot spot or smoldering coal.
"MSHA has approved the material
for use as liners in chutes, hoppers, feeders and slider beds as
well as belt wipers and skirtboards," Wolfcale said. MSHA
approval means that TIVAR 88 w/BurnGuard meets the broad range of
acceptance criteria for underground mining applications relating to
flammability. In addition, during independent laboratory testing
against the UL vertical burning test for classifying materials,
TIVAR 88 w/BurnGuard met the 94V-0 criteria. (TIVAR 88 w/BurnGuard™
has been submitted to Underwriters Laboratories for formal
certification.)
TIVAR 88 liners, noted for promoting
bulk solids flow of cohesive or non-free flowing materials due to
its low surface friction, reduce or eliminate arching, ratholing and
erratic material flow challenges in bins, bunkers, hoppers, chutes,
railcars, etc. System TIVAR Engineering, recognized worldwide for
innovative ideas, successful application solutions and consistent,
reliable products, utilizes a systematic approach to providing
long-term, cost-effective solutions for bulk material handling
challenges.
Poly Hi Solidur is the world's
leading manufacturer of polymer lining material for hoppers, chutes,
and other process equipment as well as the world's largest processor
of semi-finished UHMW-PE, sold under the TIVAR and QuickSilver brand
names. Poly Hi Solidur's System TIVAR Engineering has been providing
flow solutions to a variety of industries for more than 30 years.
Headquartered in Fort Wayne, Ind., Poly Hi Solidur has
manufacturing, fabricating and sales facilities worldwide, including
the U.S., Europe, Asia, South Africa, Australia, Brazil and Latin
America.

Mr. Thompson wants help with
air slide conveyors:
I am looking for published articles
or literature on air slide conveyor design, that would provide
information on expected flow rate variation with change in slope of
the conveyor for a variety of materials typically conveyed by this
method.
Edge effect information would also be
helpful so that when the design width of a conveyor is changed, the
associated flow rate can be more accurately predicted.

Has anyone handled Sodium Sulphate?
We would like to get Na2SO4 in bulk quantities and need to bag
it in presentation of 1,000 and 25 Kg.
I am concern about the ambient
conditions. It is a humid and warm place (Tavg = 95°F, & 85%
R.H.) where we have our facilities. Do I need special facility
to receive bulk quantities in order to avoid formation of lumps?
