Preventing blockage of polyester-based resins

Introducing a case study of Brodisk, which has been adopted by a major chemical materials manufacturer.

This is a project for a major chemical materials manufacturer. At the polyester resin manufacturing plant, there was a blockage of raw material powder and flakes in the raw material hopper, and we were consulted for a solution. We provided guidance on a standard model (Brodie Disk: BD-15) and its layout. However, since the discharge outlet was relatively small for the material properties, we recommended adding a Brodie Disk Mini nearby, leading to the implementation as shown. As a result, it has been operating well, of course. 【Overview】 ■ Hopper diameter: 1000φ ■ Discharge diameter: 100φ ■ Raw material: Powder + flakes (bulk density approximately 0.7) Since the installation location was classified as a Zone 2 hazardous area, we did not use standard controllers. Instead, under the customer's instructions, we used commercially available explosion-proof boxes and incorporated the equipment typically used with standard controllers inside them. (No explosion-proof certification) * For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us. * Our website features numerous case studies, which can be accessed via the link below.

basic information

【Product Specifications】 ■ Brody Disk BD-15S-W x 4 ■ Brody Disk Mini BD-08S-W x 2 ■ Controller C-SV4 (Special Specification) x 1 【Key Points of This Equipment】 ■ The strength and durability of the elastic disk (silicone) are very important from the perspective of foreign matter contamination risk. The silicone disks of this equipment excel in strength and durability. You will understand this once you use it! ■ Control (how to aerate?) is crucial! We provide guidance on what should be done. A dedicated controller is also available. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. TEL: 06-6777-2777
