  • Automatic Bulk Bag Discharging and Powder Metering Improve Efficiency, Safety at Well Known Chemical Producer
    Improved production efficiency combined with intrinsically safe standards of operation for powder handling within a hazardous area are among the benefits gained by installing a fully automated bulk bag discharger and batch metering system by Flexicon at the Huddersfield site of Holland Dyes
  • Bulk Bag Discharging, Pneumatic Conveying Boost Plastic Compounding Productivity
    Previously, operators manually dumped 25 kg sacks of the mineral powder (particle size of 10 µm) into a hopper from which the material gravity fed into an extruder along with the recycled material. The process was slow, labourious and dusty. Now, the powder is discharged automatically from 700 kg
  • Bulk Bag Weigh Batching Controls Compensate for Terra Cotta Ingredient Variations
    To streamline batching and mixing of clay blends for different products, the company installed five bulk bag dischargers and five pairs of flexible screw conveyors from Flexicon to automatically deliver weighments of bulk ingredients for blending of clay compounds. The system cut dispensing
  • Investment Casting Sand and Flour Conveyed from Bulk Bags Automatically, Dust-Free
    O'Fallon Casting is a major manufacturer of thin-walled, nonferrous investment castings. O'Fallon's investments in automation have helped it grow. The company began using robots to move the patterns through the slurry and sanding steps, and converted from manual bag dumping to automated discharging
  • DelMonte Case Study
    Working closely with Del Monte, AccuRate (R) and Pneutech Engineering first added a pneumatically actuated stainless steel turntable to an AccuRate (R) SacMaster (R) Bulk Bag Discharge Frame. The turntable enables an AccuRate (R) MECHATRON (R) Coni-Flex feeder to be automatically positioned
  • Miller Electric Reduces Oil Costs While Improving Part Quality
    Doug Weisshahn, Project Technician and NC Programmer at Miller Electric had a problem with fine chips in cutting oil. There were so many fine chips in one particular machine, they would leave marks (indentations) on the parts from the automatic chucking process. Doug had two 25 micron filter bag
