CONVEYORS PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT 1 1 Dual blower railcar unload system The Coperion K Tron Vacuum Pressure Rail Unload System unloads powder pellet and granular material from railcars at conveying rates in excess of 120000 pounds per hour Using separate vacuum and pressure blowers the system unloads material from the railcar at higher conveying rates and for longer conveying distances A vacuum blower draws material from the railcar to a self cleaning filter receiver that separates the product from the conveying air Mounted below the receiver is a rotary valve that meters the product into the pressure side of the system for final delivery to storage Coperion www coperion com 2 Conveyor material DuPont Transportation Advanced Polymerss Reginae F A S T material is used in conveyors for high speed dry running bottling operations The material avoids the need for traditional external lubricants used during bottling and other filling operations By delivering a constant low coefficient of friction COF in conveyor chains and belts the material allows bottles to move smoothly and reduces wear and tear to lengthen maintenance and replacement cycles From an environmental perspective eliminating dust collecting lubricants minimizes the need to wash the conveyor reducing water usage and avoiding wastewater disposal issues DuPont www dupont com 3 Flexible screw conveyor system Flexicons Twin BEV CON Flexible Screw Conveyor System is self contained and can fill two vessels with the same material simultaneously Mounted on a frame with locking casters for in plant mobility it can be used in multiple locations and rolled to a wash down booth Its hopper is equipped with dual discharge adapters each of which charges a flexible screw engineered to move free and non freeflowing bulk materials that pack cake smear fluidize compress or are otherwise problematic to convey Flexicon www flexicon com 4 Drag conveyor SMART Conveyors from Biomass Engineering Equipment allow for wide customization from a catalog of shapes sizes and material options The company offers both top drag and bottom chain drag conveyors Future changes to the conveyors can easily be made by bolting new sections in place All sizes are available with straight sections inside curves outside curves manual or automatic tensioning direct drives in constant or variable speeds feeding bins manual or automatic gates and more Biomass Engineering Equipment www biomassengineeringequipment com 46 Processing AUGUST 2019 4 3 2
