  • Reducing Bridging in Dust Collector Hoppers
    While discussions on dust collector sizing and filter efficiency in equipment selection are common, very little literature tends to discuss the need for collected materials to flow freely from the hopper to a final drum, bin or sack. And, yet, the elimination of hopper bridging in a dust collector
  • Flexible Heaters for Hoppers in Liquid Filling Equipment
    to flow. Conversely, lower viscosity means thinner liquid and less resistance to flow. Temperature will affect the viscosity of most materials. Heating up a fluid can reduce the viscosity, allowing the fluid to flow faster.
  • Fabrication Shop Finds Niche in Thick-Plate Cutting
    complementary technologies, we 're able to deliver more solutions to our customers, " explains company President Bill Hohler. The company fabricates material handling systems and factory equipment, including loading dock components, processing tables and material hopper carts. Bralin Laser also
  • Case History: There is No Emergency, Loss-in-Weight Feeders Save Fire-Resistive Materials Manufacturer
    A manufacturer of spray applied fire-resistive materials upgrades from volumetric to loss-in-weight feeders for improved process and quality control. Isolatek International, headquartered in Stanhope, N.J., has more than 40 years of experience manufacturing dry and wet spray-applied fire-resistive
  • Container Dumpers Eliminate Product Spillage (.pdf)
    hopper lacked sufficient surge capacity. The existing painted dumper failed to meet their sanitary requirements, and the discharge of the dumper didn't seal to the feed hopper inlet, creating potential for foreign material contamination.
  • Plastics Consultancy Network - Profile and sheet extrusion
    line begins with the hopper which holds the plastic material (in either powder or granule form). The hopper continuously feeds the material to a heated barrel which contains a rotating screw. This screw transports the polymer to the die head and simultaneously the material is heated, mixed
  • Aero-Conveying: The Best of Both Technologies
    Moving powders, pelletized materials, or granular bulk materials to processes from bulk bags, bag dump stations, silos, feed bins, hoppers, totes, supersacks or other sources is done very efficiently and economically with Aero-Mechanical Conveying Systems. Depending on the application and bulk
  • 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
  • Custom Engineered Container Dumping Solutions (.pdf)
    A leading contract packager and manufacturer of food ingredients contacted Material Transfer, requiring container dumpers to empty containers of brownie and cake mixes into hoppers which fed existing packaging equipment. The new dumpers needed to accept containers loaded via pallet jack at floor
  • Mobile Flexible Conveyor Cuts Dispersion Time by 30% at Paint Manufacturer
    A flexible conveyor and hopper on wheels slashed mixing time by 30% to speed throughput in manufacturing Transtar Autobody Technologies, Inc.'s automotive paints and primers. Compared to the previous manual method, the automated conveying arrangement causes five different dry materials to disperse
