DELUMPER® BAGSTATION™
 
The DELUMPER BAGSTATION is a pre-engineered bag dump system designed for unloading, de-agglomerating and freshening of lumpy bagged solids while efficiently introducing them into a production process. The unit is designed to facilitate convenient manual opening of small to medium sized bags without creating a dusty environment. The system incorporates a built-in DELUMPER® processor to reduce agglomerates and lumps and facilitate uniform product flow while the bags are being emptied. The BAGSTATION has a built-in dust filter system that draws the air through the unit grate and into the enclosed filter chamber. Filter media are periodically self-cleaned by a programmed air burst cycle. Read More >> DELUMPER BAGSTATION

AUTORAKE® AR 1400 - NEW HYDRAULIC BAR SCREEN
 
The AUTORAKE® Model 1400 is a front cleaned, hydraulic bar screen uniquely adapted for deep channel installations. The unit’s design coordinates the motion of a mobile rake comb, which travels up and down driven by a hydraulic motor and sprocket. As the rake comb reaches the bottom of the screen, it turns 90 degrees and inserts its tines into the bar slots. The motor, rotating in reverse, smoothly and efficiently lifts trapped screenings upward. The unit is suitable for very deep channels with a total travel of up to fifty feet. Read More >>

Taskmaster Grinder Saves Over $36,000 For Kirksville, Mo.

The City of Kirksville, Mo. had a problem. Their 25 year old Smith and Loveless comminutor suddenly stopped working and could not be repaired. Their main barscreen could not handle the complete flow of the plant headworks at daily peak periods which meant that unreduced solids could get into the plant’s downstream equipment and cause severe operational difficulties. The City found out that the replacement cost for a similar design unit was going to cost over $60,000.00, way over their budget. Read More >> Taskmaster Grinder Saves Over $36,000

Super Shredder® - Just What The Warden Ordered.

Inmates in correctional institutions have found a new pastime. By flushing oversized items down their toilets they either accidentally or deliberately cause the facility’s wastewater to back up. Often the goal is to gain extra time out of the cell. By flooding their cell or cell block, they force the facility to move them during the cleanup period. These misdeeds have often been rewarding ....that is up until now! Read More >> Super Shredder

Spiralift SC Solves Screenings Disposal Problem

The City of Collinsville had a problem. The screenings coming off of their bar screen were odorous, wet and costly to dispose of. Three container loads a week of screenings were very costly to dispose of. Initial tests of a screenings washer were discouraging.

Production Block Removed By Pipeline Lump Breaker

Repeated plugging of pipelines and pumping systems forced frequent and costly shutdowns for clean-out in the plant of a major chemical manufacturer. Product lumps in the liquid stream built up in the systems, and their clean-out, a difficult and cumbersome job, brought about a considerable amount of lost production time. This was particularly bad because production could not keep up with an increasing product demand under such conditions. Several systems of this kind were involved.

Crusher Takes Its Lumps, Minimizes Elbow Grease

CCP, Inc., a custom manufacturer of over 1000 private label formulations for the cosmetics industry, had a costly production bottleneck. In the production process, the material is milled to 20 to 200 mesh and re-blended. Incoming material, received in bulk bags or drums, needed to be conditioned to remove agglomerated cakes or lumps. The material could be hygroscopic, have a low melting point, or be exposed to high temperatures during transportation. These agglomerates had been screened or hand sifting in a labor intensive procedure which also resulted in a costly waste of material. Read More >> Crusher Takes Its Lumps

DELUMPER® Chews Up Meat Products Pumping Problem

Maxton Meat Processors, Inc. in Maxton, NC, was experiencing a major pumping problem of their difficult to transport meat products. As part of their process, Maxton employed a pumping system to transport the meat solids at 200 psi. The chicken parts mixed with powders and oils had a tendency to lump up, plugging their pipeline system, preventing the material from being pumped through the system pipes before further processing. Their pumps were clogging and bridging was occurring within the pipeline system. Read More >> Delumper Chews Up Meat Products

Cutting Problem Solids Down to Size

A mineral processing plant in Pennsylvania needed a better way to process large batches of problematic minerals. The contents from 3,200 pound super sacks were placed on a conveyor and then manually hammered to crush them, a labor intensive operation. Adding to the problems, the minerals were lumpy and rock- solid after spending months on a boat from China. The operation was slow and hazardous, labor costs were high and particle size varied widely. Read More >> Cutting Problem Solids Down to Size

VULCANATOR ® Reduces Rubber Bales and Processing Time

A manufacturer of surgical gloves had a problem in establishing a new production line to meet their capacity requirements and quality standards. The major raw ingredient in surgical gloves, natural rubber, was received in the form of full 75 lb. bales of raw rubber. The first step in the process was to reduce the bales to a small size, since dissolving of the full rubber bales would take an unacceptably long amount of time and be very costly.
