Dust Suppression Ring for Conveyor Discharge Points
 Peoria,
IL -- An innovative new dust suppression device has been
introduced specifically for use at conveyor discharge
points, designed to create a virtual curtain around the
material flow for outstanding particle containment. The
DustBoss® DB-RTM Ring from Dust Control Technology is
engineered for industrial strength and longevity, built with
a high-quality stainless steel ring outfitted with a network
of atomizing nozzles that deliver millions of 50-200 micron
droplets per minute. By surrounding the discharge flow on
all sides, the DustBoss Ring provides simple, focused dust
management that’s well suited to continuous duty, such as
radial stackers.
“This design was first developed for a coal application,”
explained DCT CEO Edwin Peterson. “The momentum created
while discharging dry coal was propelling large amounts of
dust into the air, and the customer was looking for a way to
specifically address the material as it came off the
conveyor. The solution was simple but effective, and we’re
finding that it’s well suited to conveyor discharge of sand,
aggregates, biomass or other traditionally dusty materials,”
he said.
The DustBoss DB-R is available in five standard sizes, from
17" (43.2 cm) to 100" (254 cm) in diameter. All five can be
customized with DCT’s Variable Particle SizingTM technology,
allowing customers to specify different droplet size ranges
to match specific materials.
“The greatest chance of a collision between a dust particle
and a droplet is present when the droplet and dust are
roughly the same size, avoiding the slipstream effect,”
Peterson reminded. “If we can increase the chances of
collision with a given particle size, we improve the
effectiveness of the suppression.”
Designed without any moving parts, the intrinsically safe
DB-R is intended for elevated mounting. It requires no
electrical power or compressed air. The water supply hose is
connected directly to male pipe threads on the ring: 3/4"
NPT for the 17" model, and 1" NPT for the three intermediate
sizes: 22.5" (57.2 cm), 25.5" (64.8 cm) and 42" (106.7 cm).
For large applications, the company also offers the 100"
diameter model, which is supplied by a 1.5" NPT hose.
Available options for the DB-R include a booster pump to
elevate low water pressures, a variety of nozzle sizes and
configurations, and a water filter. Customers can also order
the units with a 2-way valve and/or hose included.
The number and size of the spray nozzles vary by model. The
smallest model features 30 brass nozzles that produce 3.25
GPM (12.3 LPM) of water flow. The 22.5" unit is designed
with 18 medium-flow nozzles, with a water usage of 11.34 GPM
(42.9 LPM). The 22.5" and 42" models feature 30 high-flow
nozzles that deliver 18.9 GPM (71.5 LPM), and the 100" size
employs 84 nozzles for a whopping 52.92 GPM (200.3 LPM) of
water delivery.

Monitor Technologies' New 2-Vane Collapsible Paddle
 Elburn,
IL -- Monitor Technologies’ new 2-vane collapsible paddle is
insertable from the outside of a bin or silo through a
1-1/4" NPT or 1-1/2" BSPT coupling. This stainless steel
paddle assembly can be used with Monitor’s SafePoint®
fail-safe and Model KA/KAX rotary paddle level switches.
The “spring” action of the paddle also allows it to be
removed from the same opening if needed. The 2-vane design
and the 8.66" (220 mm) turning diameter allow the paddle to
provide dependable level indication for average bulk density
materials. This paddle can be used with level switches that
are mounted vertically or horizontally.

Flexicon : "Block-Buster" Bulk Bag Conditioner
 Bethlehem,
PA -- A new Block-Buster™ Bulk Bag Conditioner with two
hydraulic rams and specially contoured end plates, presses
opposing sides of bulk bags, loosening material that has
solidified during storage and shipment, enabling bulk bag
unloaders to discharge it through bag spouts.
A cantilevered I-beam with motorized hoist and trolley
allows loading and unloading of bulk bags without the use of
a forklift. The bag can also be raised and lowered using the
hoist, and rotated manually, for conditioning at any height
on all sides.
The system controller and hydraulic pump can be mounted on
the exterior of the safety cage or remotely. The conditioner
is fully enclosed on all four sides for operator safety and
includes full-height doors that are interlocked to disallow
operation of the system when the doors are open.
The conditioner is recommended for bulk bags containing
hygroscopic chemicals, certain spice blends, heat-sensitive
products, and other materials prone to solidifying to the
point at which pneumatically-actuated flow promotion
accessories integral to bulk bag dischargers are inefficient
or completely ineffective.
An optional hydraulically-actuated, variable-height
turntable allows automated in-frame bag rotation and
conditioning of bulk bags at varying heights. The number and
pressure of hydraulic ram actuations, the height of the
turntable, and the number of 90-degree rotations are
user-programmable.
The conditioner is offered as a stand-alone unit or
integrated with the company's Bulk-Out™ bulk bag discharging
systems.
Also manufactured by the company are mechanical conveyors,
pneumatic conveying systems, bulk bag fillers, bag dump
stations, drum/box/container dumpers, weigh batching and
blending systems, and engineered plant-wide bulk handling
systems with automated controls.

This week's
photo is of a Rolled, Tapered Panel (RTP) Tank Connection
silo construction project designed for mass flow of a dry
bulk material. The tanks shown were built utilizing a
special synchronized jacking process that allowed both tanks
to be erected simultaneously from the ground up, while
keeping construction workers on the ground. This technique
allowed erection time to be cut in half.
