TIVAR 88 Pug Mill Paddles Now
Available with Steel Inserts
Fort Wayne, IN -- Poly Hi Solidur's
TIVAR 88 pug mill paddles with patented abrasion tip are now
available with a steel insert option. The steel insert, used for
rigidity, increases customization capabilities for unique
applications. These paddles expand the application opportunities for
larger size mixers/conditioners and those operating with a much
higher torque.
Made
from TIVAR 88, a material recognized worldwide for its low
coefficient of friction, high abrasion resistance, and moisture-,
corrosion- and chemical-resistant properties, TIVAR 88 pug mill
paddles eliminate sticking and material build-up on paddles, shafts
and housings; ensure consistent, thorough blending of dry, paste and
slurry-type bulk materials; and reduce power, operating and
maintenance costs. Bulk materials such as sludge, fly ash and kiln
dust, slide smoothly and cleanly off TIVAR 88's ultra-slick surface.
Tested under some of the harshest
real-world conditions, TIVAR 88 pug mill paddles clearly outlasted
the competition up to three times as long as abrasion resistant
steel, beaded ceramic trowel-finish, ceramic spray-coated, and
ceramic tile tip paddles.
Poly Hi Solidur is the world's
leading manufacturer of polymer lining material for use in hoppers,
chutes, bins, bunkers, dump bodies, etc., and sold under the TIVAR
and QuickSilver brand names. Both TIVAR and QuickSilver are
recognized worldwide for their low coefficient of friction and
abrasion-resistant properties. 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.

New
pneumatic ship unloader...
Portanova Offers Complete
Infrastructure
Uzwil, Switzerland -- Sarantopoulos
Mills S.A in Greece opted for a pneumatic Portanova ship unloader.
Reason: An inadequate port infrastructure, including the absence of
electric power, rail tracks and a belt conveyor system in the
vicinity.
During
1999, Buhler developed a new pneumatic ship unloader. It was based
on a new modular concept, which reduced on-site assembly work
requirements to bolting together the preassembled modules. This
shortens the assembly time and helps prevent assembly errors. As
port installations often lack fixed belt conveyor systems, the basic
version of the Portanova is equipped with two outlets for loading
trucks. Thanks to its large diesel tank, which can hold 4800 liters,
this unit is capable of uninterrupted operation during roughly three
days. Durable components have been used in the unloader to ensure a
long service life under heavy-duty port conditions.
Electronic monitoring system
A V8 diesel engine with 12 liters’
piston displacement directly powers the rotary piston blower. The
power for the electrical users is produced by a diesel- electric
generating set. A state-of-the-art hydraulic system is applied for
secondary drives such as for powering unloader travel and for
swiveling and lifting/lowering the boom. Thanks to the proportional
control valve technique applied, the mass forces transmitted to the
steel structure are minimized. The material discharge airlock is a
very important component of the system. Wear and jamming by foreign
objects are unpleasant occurrences associated with any ship
unloading operation. Therefore, a split airlock valve with
easy-to-exchange wear jackets is applied. In addition, the airlock
drive is monitored electronically for overload. In the event of
jamming, the airlock rotor reverses its direction of rotation a
number of times to clear the passage again in the airlock rotor.
Easy operation and maintenance
For operation and maintenance of the
unloader, the important points are accessible via stairs, platforms
and walkways. To facilitate access to the telescopic carriage and
the conveying lines, the boom can be lowered within a matter of
minutes to the ground. Hoists are installed in the machine house to
allow airlock servicing. Contaminated and/or defective filter bags
can easily be pinpointed and removed toward the top, thanks to the
Top-Removal system of Buhler dust collection filters. A
state-of-the-art PLC control system monitors the functions and
displays the relevant messages. A radio control system enables the
Portanova to be operated from the ship. Truck loading is
accomplished through a cable control system from the control
platform.
The customer benefits in a multitude
of ways from this new installation: low capital investment,
maintenance, and operating costs paired with high flexibility,
mobility, dependability, and availability plus – not least – a
long service life.

VacBoss Inland Pneumatic Conveyors
Blomkest, MN -- Christianson Systems
has long been an industry leader in the development of mobile
combination vacuum and pressure dry cargo pneumatic conveyors. They
introduced pneumatic grain conveying to USA agriculture back in the
early 70s and have been spearheading wider uses, higher capacity,
efficiency, less noise, less dust and less product degradation in
its line of mobile pneumatic conveying systems for inland use.
Customers
call the VacBoss the most ideal mobile pneumatic conveyor for all
types of inland applications: emptying storage bins, filling silos,
hot-spot removal, cleaning around grain terminal, rail car unloading
and general grain conveying.
Keeping dust out of the blower allows
VacBoss to handle a wide variety of flowable products besides grains
that include fly ash, sugar and even cement. The Reduced Velocity
Inlet and general handling characteristics of the VacBoss make it
ideal for grain seed and difficult to handle oily sunflowers or milo.
VacBoss is available with either PTO
drive or diesel engine in three capacity ranges; 5” VacBoss Junior
with max rating at 2,900 bushels (70 MT) per hour, Model 4066 rated
4,000 bushels (100 MT) per hour, and Model 5068 rated at 5,500
bushels (140 MT) per hour.
Other standard features include an
all new silencing system, hydraulic folding truck loading kit,
vacuum breaker, hour meter and many other features. The silencing
system limits noise to approximately 90 dba all around the machine
making it friendly to be around.
Christianson went for the additional
cost of the filtration system and silencing explaining that
customers would rather pay a little more to have the machine last
several times longer than competitive machines giving it an overall
lower cost in the long run.

Mr. Boggs needs an aspirator:
I have an application
where the customer is requiring an inline aspirator for dry bulk
loading a rail-car. The pipe sizes are 4" and 6".
Is there any information, links, or articles that somebody
could supply to point me in the right direction on how to source or
fabricate the required component.
