[Technical Column Update] How to Eliminate Rat Holes in Flour and Matcha? Testing the Effectiveness of Aeration Hoppers.

MONOVATE(旧：日東金属工業) 八潮工場

Powders behave very differently depending on their properties and the environment in which they are handled, making them very difficult to manage. Our company receives daily inquiries regarding the handling of powders, and among them, a common issue reported is that "blockages such as bridges and rat holes occur, preventing sufficient quantities from being supplied to the next process." To address these challenges, our company offers an "aeration hopper" in our product lineup, and to ensure that customers can confidently choose our products, we conducted experiments to demonstrate its effectiveness.
