0612 Preventing rat holes in high-viscosity fine powders

Easy to install and high cost performance! Brody Disk installation case study.

We would like to introduce a case where the rat hole phenomenon occurring in a hopper (with a steep incline) for highly viscous powder raw materials was resolved. Three standard Brody disks (BD-15) were installed at the same height in three tiers, totaling nine units. This equipment is easy to install and offers high cost performance, but the installation position is crucial. Please feel free to contact us when you need assistance. 【Case Overview】 ■ Equipment Flow - Raw material input via a flexible container → Raw material hopper (where the rat hole occurs) → Supplied to the next process via a rotary valve 【Key Points of This Equipment】 ■ The elastic disk (silicone) is very important in terms of strength and durability, especially considering the risk of foreign material contamination. The silicone disks in this equipment are exceptionally strong and durable. We believe you will understand this once you use it! ■ Control (how to aerate?) is important! We provide guidance on what should be done. A dedicated controller is also available. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
