BinMaster 3DLevelScanner for Harsh Environments
 Lincoln,
NE -- BinMaster Level Controls announces the introduction of
the 3DLevelScanner HE designed for use in storage silos
containing challenging materials such as clinker, alumina,
and fly ash. This new model of the 3DLevelScanner has an
operating temperature range of up to 250°F (120°C) to
accommodate higher temperatures that may be present when
material that has been heated in the production process is
conveyed into storage silos.
The 3DLevelScanner HE is ideal for use in the
cement, aluminum and power industries where there are
multiple challenges such as dust or high humidity and very
large silos where the material surface in the bin may be
uneven and difficult to measure.
Dependent on the diameter and height of the
silo and the desired level of volume accuracy, one or more
3DLevelScanners is mounted on the top of the silo in
strategic locations determined by using advanced proprietary
software. Each dust-penetrating, non-contact sensor sends
pulses in a 70° beam angle, taking multiple measurements
from the material surface and continually mapping the
material surface to detect changes in level, account for
uneven surface topography, and calculate a highly accurate
volume estimate for the contents of the silo.
The 3DLevelManager software reports the
lowest and highest points detected and the average level
based upon a weighted average of all of the measurements
detected in the bin. For the MV and the MVL models, a
colorful graphical representation will indicate where high
and low spots exist in the silo.
“In the manufacturing process, materials such
as clinker, alumina or fly ash may be conveyed into the silo
when they are still relatively hot,” said Todd Peterson,
vice president of sales for BinMaster.
“The new 3DLevelScanner HE withstands these
higher temperatures while maintaining a high level of
measurement accuracy, unlike some non-contact devices that
are prone to becoming unreliable in harsh environments. With
our experience in over 500 installations in North America,
the 3DLevelScanner has been proven to perform in a wide
variety of materials like heavy lump material like clinker,
fine granular material like alumina oxide, or powdered
materials such as fly ash.”

UCC Launches Viper Mill for DSI Systems
 Waukegan,
IL -- United Conveyor Corporation (UCC) recently introduced
VIPER™ Mill technology, which significantly reduces
operating cost and improves emissions control of dry sorbent
injection (DSI) systems. A proven, reliable patent-pending
technology, the VIPER Mill reduces sorbent particle size for
better removal of SO2, SO3 and HCl. Featuring the highest
mill throughput in the industry, the VIPER Mill is capable
of processing up to 7 tons per hour of sorbent on a 24/7
basis. It utilizes an in-line milling process eliminating
the need for problematic downstream sorbent storage.
“Smaller particle size leads to lower sorbent
quantity consumed. The VIPER Mill delivers the fastest
return on capital investment,” states Jon Norman, DSI
Technology Manager, UCC. “A single VIPER Mill can
potentially reduce sorbent costs by millions of dollars
annually compared to other DSI systems.”
The VIPER Mill is proven with trona and
coarse sodium bicarbonate sorbents commonly used in DSI
applications with eastern bituminous and PRB coal-fired
power plants. In an SO2 removal application, the UCC Viper
Mill can reduce sorbent usage by 30-50 percent. That equates
to a $3.0 million annual savings over unmilled trona for a
typical 500MW PRB unit at a 60 percent SO2 removal rate. In
SO3 removal applications, the ultra-small sorbent particle
size helps to achieve aggressive ppm targets, while reducing
trona usage by more than 50 percent.
The VIPER Mill can ship on a fully pre-piped
and pre-wired skid for simple installation and lower
installed cost, and is available in standard and custom
designs. The modular skid system features a patent-pending
automated cleaning system to eliminate sorbent build-up and
is engineered to provide easy access for preventative
maintenance and life-cycle rebuilds. The automated cleaning
system enables a full system cleaning cycle in less than 30
minutes and redundant skids or a bypass system ensure
continued operation.
UCC DSI’s industry leading technology,
including the new VIPER Mill, provides utilities with the
most efficient and economical method to meet current and
future emission limits and regulations. UCC offers on-site
customized demonstration testing to evaluate the overall
performance of its VIPER Mill and DSI technologies. Removal
results are compared to a proprietary UCC database of
previous testing at other coal-fired power plants validating
predictable performance

KSE : Bulk Out Loading Process for PCG in Thailand
 Bladel,
The Netherlands -- In the fourth quarter of 2011 KSE
received a phased order for the bulk out loading process of
Perfect Companion Group (PCG) in Thailand. This order
includes both, ALFRA dosing slide platform, The ALFRA
Bulkweigher, frame for movable blenders and the PROMASST
automation software.
The ordered parts are intended for filling
the hoppers. First, the exact composition of the various pet
food grains of PCG is dosed by the ALFRA dosing slide
platform. The exact composition goes through the platform to
the movable ALFRA bulk weigher. Then the pet food goes to
the blenders, where it will be mixed on moving and it will
be loaded in the hopper. Then out of the hopper it will be
packed in the packaging line.
December 2011 PCG preferred the PROMASST
automation software of KSE. The automation will take care of
enough finished product to the packaging line to run
continuously.
“The transport to Thailand was quite a
challenge, because the spare parts were very large.
Especially for this order the machines where first
completely put together and tested. Then, for transport they
were broken down completely. By means of a sophisticated
system, they can easily put together again in Thailand”,
according to project manager Robin Paaijmans.

Photographs
This week's
photo is an action shot of wintergreen flavor being sprayed
onto dried tobacco.
This is done with Free Fall Processing® in the Rollo-Mixer. The unique
Continental Rollo- Mixer is a Rotary Drum Batch Blender that
uniformly blends ingredients having a wide variance in
particle size, density, and proportions, typically in only 6
to 9 revolutions. Product moves by gravity in all planes.
The gentle, low-shear, fast-moving, positive displacement
action creates continuous rivers of material which course
into and flow through one another in a random confluence.
