Material Handling Case Studies, White Papers, & Application Notes

1. Improving Gravimetric Feeder Performance 11/28/2018

   How can I improve my screw feeder’s gravimetric performance? In order to get material to feed better volumetrically, understanding material characteristics of what we are trying to feed must be analyzed first.

2. Blending And Drying High-Density Powders 10/9/2014

   For years, blending dense slurries has been a job for the traditional vacuum dryer with a rotating vessel. Today, processors are finding a different blender/dryer can handle the heaviest of materials more easily.

3. Case Study: Bulk Bag Unloader Facilitates Safe Handling Of Toxic Materials 1/30/2006
   Several years ago, the ITT Surprenant Division in Clinton, MA, now the Surprenant Wire and Cable Division of FL Industries, faced a major materials handling problem
4. A Guide To Nanomixing Technology 8/21/2012

   This white paper presents an overview of mixing technologies employed in the dispersion of nano-sized solid particles into liquid. By Christine Banaszek

5. Case Study: Multiple Tablet Press Loading System 1/30/2006
   Featuring patented Vac-U-Max tube hopper material receivers and microprocessor control, this system is a relatively simple example of how previously manual operations can be cleaned up and automated
6. Case Study: Working Together To Solve A Feeding Problem 12/15/2009
   Pfizer Inc., headquartered in New York, produces human and animal prescription medicines for national and international markets. One of the company’s global research and development centers, located in Ann Arbor, Mich., operates a pharmaceutical sciences pilot plant in nearby Holland, Mich., that produces preproduction quantities of various products for testing before full-scale production at other facilities. The pilot plant was experiencing an ongoing problem manually feeding a range of solid materials into various-sized inerted reaction vessels that contained a solvent. By Schenck AccuRate
7. Improve Safety In Your Mixing Room

   In the processing world, safety management cannot be overemphasized. The mixing room, in particular, is a source of many potential health and operational hazards.

8. Blender Loading System Upgrade Meets New Production Requirements

   Desired increases in production rates and some changes in products forced a major food processor and packager in the Northeast to consider upgrading some of its material handling and processing operations. By VAC-U-MAX

9. Blender Loading System Upgrade Meets New Production Requirements 9/25/2008

   Desired increases in production rates and some changes in products forced a major food processor and packager in the Northeast to consider upgrading some of its material handling and processing operations. By VAC-U-MAX

10. Case Study: Pneumatic Conveying Systems Prescription For Maximizing Material Delivery 1/10/2010
    Whether it is direct loading of blenders, mixers and other vacuum tolerant vessels, gentle handling of empty or filled capsules, the dust-free transfer of ingredients to table presses, or clean up of materials, pneumatic conveying systems and vacuum technology have become an indispensible tool in streamlining pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production lines.
