0400 Bridge measures at the extruder hopper

An example of adopting a blow disk as a countermeasure for bridging of crushed material in the hopper of an extruder.

We would like to introduce a case where a Bro-Disk Mini was delivered to a facility primarily engaged in the production of food containers and packaging sheets. The delivery was made as a countermeasure for the bridging issue caused by the crushed material "pellets + powder" in the hopper of the extruder. Initially, the customer requested a loan of the equipment for effectiveness verification, so we sent the necessary quantity. After discussing the arrangement for various hoppers, we proceeded with the testing, and the results were all favorable and well-received. In this case, due to the gentle slope of the hopper, we installed two units near the discharge area and four units above it. 【Overview】 ■ Hopper diameter: 400φ ■ Discharge diameter: 80φ ■ Number of units installed: 6 Bro-Disk Minis ■ Control: Since the air consumption per unit is low, we control all six units to turn ON and OFF simultaneously using a controller with one built-in solenoid valve. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. *Our website features numerous implementation examples, which can be accessed via the link below.

basic information

【Product Specifications】 ■ Brody Disk Mini: BD-08S-W, 6 pieces ■ Controller: C-SV1, 1 unit 【Key Points of This Device】 ■ The strength and durability of the elastic disk (silicone) are very important from the perspective of foreign matter contamination risk. The silicone disk of this device excels in strength and durability. We believe 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
