Mr. Decker wants an automatic
hatch cover:
For pneumatic, semi-trailer,
top hatches, covers. I've seen the manual covers, ones with
6 or 8 handles latching it, but I am trying to find
automatic hatch cover, air operated. So you wouldn't have to
climb to top of trailer every time you wanted to open and
close the lid/hatch. (to post reply, click here)

Mr. Tan needs help with drying
sugar in a silo:
Major newbie here. I am a
University student doing a term paper on energy use in the
agricultural sector and read that certain material i.e.
sugar need to be dried while in silos to prevent lump
formation.
I am curious as to how dry
air is introduced into silos. If I am not mistaken, dry air
from dehumidifiers is blown in at the bottom and exhausted
from the top via dust collectors. Sorry if I got the details
wrong.
My question is; doesn't the
sugar (tons of it!) block the flow of air. I would imagine
that any duct or pipe would become choked with sugar and no
air could flow. I am obviously wrong in my reasoning
somewhere, so appreciate if someone could help me out.
Also, if someone could point
me in the right direction as to how I could gues-timate the
air-changes per hour for drying sugar that would be really
helpful. I am trying to get a handle on energy requirements
for my term paper.

Batching : Color Variations are a
Thing of the Past
The problem is that many
batching machines, especially when it comes to powdered
pigments, do not provide reliable coloring results
because they cannot produce reliable minute batches of
pigment, and even a slight variation is highly
undesirable. The ADP2000, a new development by SPEC Inc,
is a machine that solves that problem because...(more)
