Most dry bulk materials in common use are invariably bagged in 25 kg., 50 kg. or 1 tonne Jumbo Bags. The filling, transportation and handling of these bags poses major problems in logistics since repeated handling is involved from manufacturing stage to usage point. Further there is major of environmental pollution due to dust during handling. Many dust control systems are ineffective due to the variables involved.
The obvious remedy to such problems in bag handling will be to eliminate bags totally and handle all dry materials in bulk. The use of standard 20 feet containers for domestic and international logistics is very common. For the dry bulk industry, it is possible to use these containers for movement of bulk material between manufacturer and user with the use of special plastic liners.
The method to use standard 20 feet containers for moving free flowing powders, pellets, flakes and granules in bulk is to have a fabricated plastic liner inserted into the container. The liner has a bulkhead at the rear of the container which has feed ports or holes for feeding material inside the liner in the container. The liner prevents the bulk material from contacting the inner sides of the container and also enables a fully sealed atmosphere for the bulk material during transport. Liners are filled both pneumatically and mechanically with the vent air during filling being filtered through a separate filter.
A Slide Gate is a mechanical device used to control the flow of bulk materials in processing systems by opening or closing a gate, allowing for precise material discharge or shut-off.
Slide Gates are suitable for a wide range of bulk materials, including powders, granules, and other free-flowing or non-free-flowing products, depending on the design and construction.
Key features include durable construction, airtight sealing, easy operation, and the ability to handle high-pressure or abrasive materials, depending on the application.
Yes, ScorpioBMH offers customizable options, including different sizes, materials of construction (e.g., stainless steel), and configurations to meet specific operational requirements.
Regular maintenance includes inspecting the gate for wear, ensuring proper alignment and sealing, and lubricating moving parts to ensure smooth operation and longevity.
