Lunch & Learn
: "Hopper Retrofits to Existing Systems"
 Jacksonville
Beach, FL -- We are pleased to announce "Hopper Retrofits to
Existing Systems" a new class by Joe Marinelli, in the
Online Training Center.
Click here for a Free Preview!
In Lecture 7, Hopper Retrofits
to Existing Systems, Joe Marinelli of Solids Handling
Technologies discusses several possible retrofit solutions
to common flow problems. Joe will describe uses for liners
such as TIVAR 88 and 2B stainless steel along with coatings
such as electrostatic powder coatings and Plasite 7122 epoxy
coating.
"Travel less - Learn more"
Geometry modifications are
considered, such as wedge type hoppers, Diamondback hoppers,
splitters and chutes. These modifications are practical and
will resolve many flow issues.
Joe discusses inserts such as
classical inverted, cone shaped inserts along with a unique
cone-in-cone design. The cone-in-cone approach will allow
the user to: modify an existing funnel flow bin to flow in
mass flow, provide anti-segregating benefits along with
blending capabilities.
Lecture includes downloadable
class notes and a self administered quiz with answer sheet.
The seven-day subscription allows you to watch and review
this video class as many times as you need. All for only
$39, payable via credit card online.

Smartphone Controlled Bulk
Material Loading
 Camden,
IN -- LoadOut Technologies has unveiled a mobile system that
allows bulk material operators to use an Apple iPhone/iPod
Touch to monitor and control the loading process.
LoadOut is engineered to meet the demanding requirements
across a variety of industry sectors including: mines,
quarries, fertilizer plants, bio-solids, steel, trash,
concrete, grain terminals, and asphalt.
The
system was developed to improve safety and efficiency at
material handling facilities. Focus has especially been
placed upon sites that require one or more employees to
control loading equipment at outbound commodity facilities.
This also applies to locations where the truck driver is
expected to perform the process alone.
Adverse weather, loud noises, harmful dust particles and
moving parts from motors are all inevitable realities within
the industrial environment. Respiratory issues, slips,
falls, and number of other scenarios can make bulk loading
challenging for employees. Aside from the affect on humans,
these factors also reduce the effectiveness of site
operations.
LoadOut is simple for people to use yet can be integrated
into the most complex bulk material handling
facilities. When the operator arrives at the loading site
they just turn the system on, open the app, and visually
monitor and control the process from their phone.
A
number of features are incorporated to ensure safety of the
operator. Encrypted access, human response timers, and a
uniform control sequence are a few examples. LoadOut is
protected by US and Foreign patents pending.

Compact Vibrating Feeders with
built-in hopper
 Cleveland,
OH -- The Cleveland Vibrator Company has extended their line
of volumetric Rectangular Feeder Machines (RFM) to include
the compact, self-contained RFM Integra Series, vibrating
feeders with a built-in bulk hopper inlet.
This new Series has an integrated
hopper and feeder design that relies on the actuation of two
electrical vibrators to ensure a constant, reliable flow of
castings, billets and other large parts. The design is also
suited to a number of applications in the plastic,
processing, powder, pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and
foundry industries.
Engineered for continuous flow
control, the RFM Integra Series eliminates the need for
steeply angled hopper walls associated with gravity hoppers.
The Integra models offer a lower overall height and hopper
walls angled at less than 30 degrees for reduced material
dump height. An adjustable swing out gate further aids in
flow control and reduces the potential for hang up as
material moves from the hopper to the feeder tray.
The RFM Integra Series can easily
be equipped with independent variable frequency controls for
adjusting flow rate. Special control features are available
where timed feed rates or operation from a scale signal are
required.
The Cleveland Vibrator Company
RFM Integra Series is available in a wide range of feeder
tray sizes and hopper capacities.
Since 1923, Cleveland Vibrator
has been a leader in the manufacturing of industrial
vibrators and vibratory equipment including screeners,
feeders and tables.

Manufacturer’s Representatives Wanted
Moritani America
Inc, the US agent for Exen Corporation, is looking for
aggressive and qualified manufacturer’s representatives for
Exen’s line of flow aid products, specifically air knockers.
Exen’s pneumatic
Air Knockers just recently became available in the US and
are quickly gaining popularity among a variety of companies
dealing with material handling.
One big
advantage of this product is that no electricity is required
to operate the unit or the controller. Air Knockers also use
a fraction of the compressed air compared to vibrators or
blasters, making them an economic solution.
If you are a
qualified manufacturer’s rep dealing with flow aid products,
and are located in one of the areas below, please contact
Moritani America to learn more about this opportunity.
-South (East of
