Solid Material Processing - Bulk Solids Material Processing SolutionsI-2/BPST is a manufacturers' distributor of bulk solids material handling & processing equipment and systems. We provide consultation, equipment and installation of industrial bulk solids material handling systems. Our turnkey solutions will assist companies in implementing cost-saving and income-producing solutions for their bulk processing machinery and systems.Shown below are questions to consider when determining the best solution for your Solid Material Processing needs: I. Considerations for picking the right conveyor system for your material:1. Name of your material, or similar to: Flour, sand, sawdust etc. 2. Bulk density (not particle density) : Simple to determine. Get a measuring cup or any small, known-volume open container. Measure the empty weight of the container and filled weight of the container. Your Bulk Density is the difference of filled weight and empty weight divided by the volume of the container. 3. Flowability: Does the material flow well or does it stick to the wall? 4. Particle Size: This is the most difficult to determine. If you do not know, it is okay for the preliminary selection to use as reference a similar material. Just mention if the material is dusty fine powder or granular or large chunks . II. Your Process, Your Choices:1. Raw material: How does the incoming material come in the plant? a. In 50lb. (or similar) bags or drums b. In Bulk Bags/Super Sacks c. By Truck or Railcar, to outside/inside storage silos 2. If you need to convey material to your process from any of the above sources, the following are your common choices:
c. Mechanical Dumper- Lift & Hoist System III. Choice of equipment:Depends on Material Characteristics or Process Requirements, and Previous Experience 1. When to choose pneumatic conveying:
2. How do I choose one mechanical conveyor over other? a. Flexible Screw - Low budget, good material flow characteristics, frequent change of product, short distance (below 30 ft). Things to consider about flexible screw:
b. If your budget allows and frequent cleaning is not required, Solid screw Conveyor will typically be more durable than Flexible Screw. c. When do I use a Belt Conveyor?
3. How do I convey my product without significant product breakage? Choices: a. Belt, Vibratory, or Bucket Conveyor Pros: Can handle most types of material. Widely used for handling, large, fragile material, especially for foods. b. Aero-Mechanical Conveyor Pros: Very low floor space requirement. For a straight run, it is very economical c. Pneumatic Conveying: Pros: Conveys material to multiple destinations, large capacity, fairly long distances. Vacuum Conveying minimizes product leakage out of the conveying system. |
