Mobile Flexible Screw Conveyor
PRODUCT FOCUS March 2018 In every edition of Milling and Grain, we take a look at the products that will be saving you time and money in the milling process.
A new FLEXICONŽ Mobile Flexible Screw Conveyor with multipurpose hood transfers material discharged from bulk bags and/ or manually dumped from handheld sacks into elevated process equipment or storage vessels dust free. Mounted on a frame with locking castors for in-plant mobility, the system improves mobility and reduces cost by eliminating heavy frame components typically employed to support bulk bags, relying on the user’s forklift or plant hoist to suspend the bag above the unit during operation.

3D MultiVision Software A software option that uses 3DLevelScanners to identify the location of the centre of gravity, display it graphically, and alert when the centre of gravity falls outside of a predefined area. The scanner is mounted on the roof of the silo to view the material surface in the silo. Level measurements are used to determine the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the centre of gravity based upon the material topography.

Rotary Batch Mixer with integral lump breaker A new Rotary Batch Mixer with integral lump breaker provides inline de-agglomeration of compacted bulk materials before blending batches gently with total uniformity in one to three minutes. Inline stacking of the low profile De-Clumper™ model RDC1515-SS atop the stationary inlet of the model 700-TH-50-SS mixer minimises headroom requirements while eliminating the need for flexible connections or hard piping between the units. Material entering the system is de-lumped by dual rotors with three-point, single-piece, stainless steel breaking heads rotating with minimum clearance inside a curved, perforated bed screen. The synchronised shafts rotate at 120 RPM to prevent heating and degrading of the product.

RotorCheck contact monitoring system The RotorCheck contact monitoring system provides extra safety and convenience when operating rotary valves. The system 5.0 registers, evaluates and reports unwanted contact between the rotor and housing in order to be able to prevent metallic abrasion and thus unwanted contact between the rotor and housing in order to be able to prevent metallic abrasion and thus potential contamination of the product being conveyed. This improves safety and convenience when operating rotary valves.

Micro Ingredient Dosing Unit Van Aarsen International supplies specialized dosing systems for feed producers and integrators. The first step in finding an optimum fine dosing solution is to analyse the recipes of the production location in question. Then, the best combination of dosing systems to realise optimum accuracy is calculated in combination with the highest possible production speed. The final design proposal is based on an integrated system of individual dosing units, consisting of a combination of micro-dosing (up to 20 or 50 kg) and small dosing (up to 75, 100, or 200 kg), with each dosing system being able to dose eight different ingredients. A precision dosing system (up to 1 kg) can also be integrated into the microdosing unit.
