The
"FulFiller" Container Loading System
 Whitewater,
WI -- For quickly loading granular or pellet products into
standard ISO containers at rates up to 8,475 cubic feet (240
cubic meters) per hour, the Schenck Process FulFiller
container loading system is the ideal solution.
The FulFiller is a high-speed
belt-based loader designed to throw versus convey material
the full length of either a 20-foot or 40-foot long lined
container in 10 minutes or less when filling a 20-foot
container. The throwing action does not damage the material
and is therefore ideal for plastic pellets, refined sugar,
grains, soybeans, animal meal pellets, wood chips/pellets,
rice, and clay pellets.
Mobility is inherent in the
design of all three FulFiller models. The Mobile Forklift
Frame model can be moved by forklift allowing the unit to be
hung on the rear of an empty container prior to the
container being moved under the loading silo or hopper.
The Fixed Frame model is designed
for use with silos that are always used for out-loading
materials into containers. Finally, the Dedicated Mobile
Frame model is mounted on wheels, which allows it to be
easily positioned under the required silo without the use of
a forklift.
All models of the FulFiller can
load materials ranging in sizes of .04 to 1 inch (1-25 mm)
with bulk densities from 25 to 75 lbs/ft³ (400-1,200 kg/m³).
A hydraulic lift table that allows the thrower height to be
adjusted to suit varying trailer or container configurations
is optionally available.
Schenck Process is a global
supplier of bulk solids metering equipment and systems
including Mechatron® volumetric and gravimetric screw
feeders, PureFeed® sanitary feeders, DEA and DMO
weighfeeders, Multicor® and DLM solids flow meters,
SacMaster® bulk bag discharging systems, BEMP™ belt scales,
SolidsFlow vibratory feeders and Discont® gravimetric
control systems.

Platypus Dust Valve for Powder
Handling
 CLEVELAND,
OH -- Aerodyne, a division of Abanaki Corporation, announces
the new Vacu-Valve Platypus, one of the lowest-cost,
lowest-maintenance dust collector valves available. The
Vacu-Valve Platypus operates as a constant discharge valve
for dust collectors, hoppers, cyclones and other equipment
operating under negative pressure.
Its
unique duck bill design allows it to dispense free-flowing
material continuously. The low-maintenance Platypus requires
no lubrication or power source and has no controls. It's
ideal for "keep empty" dust collection units and is
available in carbon steel or stainless steel versions. The
replaceable duck bill sleeves are available in neoprene,
viton or white nitrile, making the unit suitable for general
use, high-temperature or food grade applications.
Typical industries that use the Vacu-Valves include foundry,
mining, cement, pharmaceutical, dry foods, plastics,
chemical and manufacturing.
Aerodyne Vacu-Valves have been efficiently and economically
emptying particulate from dust collectors and bag houses for
more than 40 years. Aerodyne offers a range of valves,
including rotary, double dump, slide gate, knife and
screw-type valves. Aerodyne dust collection systems have
been used in a wide range of industries since 1949. The
material-handling valves are one of the longest lasting and
durable in the powder and bulk handling industry.
Now
part of the Abanaki family of products, Aerodyne supplies
custom-designed (turnkey) pollution control systems as well
as individual components for a wide variety of applications.
Headquartered in Cleveland Ohio, Abanaki has served a global
customer base in industries as diverse as iron and steel,
wastewater, paper, food processing, automotive,
environmental remediation and recycling for more than 40
years.

Dr. Campbell needs help with
flow and shear calcs:
 I
would really appreciate it if someone could help me by
pointing me in the right direction. I wish to know how to
calculating the shear stress / rate and flow dynamics of a
conical hopper with a rotary screw to feed.
These systems are used on our
high throughput robotic synthesis and formulation platforms
and I am trying to expand our predictive dispensing
optimization software for liquids, viscous liquids and
solids. (see attached photo)
If someone could be so kind
to give us a reference to the correct testing / measurement
method and equations for calculation it could really help me
out as flow dynamics is not my strong point.
