Superior : Tunnel Reclaim
Conveyors Offers Low-Cost Alternative
 MORRIS,
MN -- Superior Industries, a Morris, Minn.-based
manufacturer of conveyor systems and components, offers its
tunnel reclaim conveyors as a low-cost alternative to
loaders and feed hoppers. Available as portable or
stationary units, Superior Industries’ heavy-duty reclaim
systems are reliable as well as cost effective in
applications that include primary plant feed, wash plant
feed, truck loadout, and live storage.
Delivering low-cost installation when compared to galvanized
and pre-cast tunnels, Superior Industries’ tunnel reclaim
conveyors are manufactured in steel and are available in
rounded or rectangular box designs. For operational safety,
units can be accompanied by either 8’ or 10’ domes
engineered with a stress-shedding design. The larger 10’
domes allow for wider belts or a two-sided walkway.
Superior Industries offers a comprehensive line of conveyor
systems, equipment and components for sand gravel,
aggregate, mining, concrete, asphalt, recycling, civil and
marine engineering, wood, pulp, and paper, chemical
processing, electric utility, coal, grain, and other
processing industries.

Buhler : World’s Tallest Grain
Elevator Inaugurated
 Uzwil,Switzerland
-- The world’s tallest grain elevator (silo) was inaugurated
on April 15, 2005 at the German company Carl Kunkele zur
Schapfenmuhle in Ulm. The grain storage facility has a
height of 115 meters and was built within 12 months. Buhler
as a longtime partner was awarded the supply of the
mechanical equipment as well as of the process control
system.
The
project comprised the design, engineering, supply,
installation supervision, and start-up of the grain elevator
plus a hulling system for oats and dinkel (spelt wheat) with
a capacity of 120 metric tons a day. Buhler was in charge of
supplying the mechanical equipment and for the process
control system. The WinCoS software applied includes - in
addition to the basic elements - the 'WinTrace' module for
product retracing and the 'WinMessenger' fault reporting
system.
It is
integrated in the customer’s master planning system. The
mechanical equipment of the hulling system also includes the
new PRIMUS high-capacity grain cleaner, which separates all
contamination from the grain at a high throughput capacity
and in a single pass.
With
its 115 meters height the silo is the highest of the world
and after the city’s cathedral the second highest building
of Ulm. It has a capacity of 8,000 tons of grain.
Buhler
is a global Technology Group and a system partner in the
supply of plant and equipment and process know-how in the
fields of Food Processing, Chemical Process Engineering, and
Die Casting, with a payroll of about 6100 worldwide.

Kingston, Jamaica, and it is expected to be operational

auxiliary equipment, and several FLSmidth companies and
divisions are participating as subcontractors to the
project.
FLSmidth's scope of supply
comprises an FRM 38-190 raw mill; a raw meal silo; a
complete ILC kiln system including preheater, 2-support
kiln and SF Cross-Bar cooler; electrostatic
precipitators and a complete quality and process control
system. In addition, building design, training and
commissioning are included in the contract.
The contract for the new
production line was negotiated by FLSmidth's US project

Mr. Rajan wants help with silo
discharge of PU foam:
We have a large silo,
cylindrical, with flat top and bottom (2.5m dia x 6m high)
which is filled with PU foam (granulated to about 20mm). We
have fitted a blower to the bottom of the silo, but on
switching on, initially the material is conveyed, but soon
rat-holing occurs and only air comes out.
Sometimes excess foam chips
enter the blower and chokes it. We tried to solve this by
placing an inverted cone at the center of the silo and
connecting the suction of the blower to this by a flexible
pipe. We kept a gap of 20mm from the bottom, but immediately
rat-holing occurred.
The foam is not free flowing
and stands vertical even to a height of 3-4 meters without
falling. The blower is 5 hp and it coveys the chips to a
height of 6m vertically. The blower seems to be ok but the
chips do not come out of the silo.
