Batching System Solves Dust Problems And Saves Time
Share:
Brunswick, OH--Metso BEST, Inc. has developed a unique batching system that solves dust problems and saves time.
A manufacturer required a clean, accurate method of batching out specific amounts of various carbon black materials in a process that required frequent changes of the materials.
Metso BEST engineers designed a gain-in-weight bulk-bag unloading station with an interchangeable-frame system complete with unloader assembly. After closing a butterfly valve, the original frame is lifted out of the stationary feeding station and replaced by a second frame with different material. Its butterfly valve is opened and the material change is complete.
For gain-in-weight batching, carbon black is metered out of the unloading station into a plastic bin, which is indexed onto a scale. When initiated, the system automatically dispenses the proper amount of material, accurate to +/- 0.1 lbs. on a 75 lb. batch.
The complete process is accomplished in a dust-free environment. The system is readily adaptable to other applications. Materials and processes are tested in Metso BEST's onsite testing facilities.
