Material Handling Case Studies, White Papers, & Application Notes

1. Case Study: Bag Handling, Check Sieving, Weigh System 11/1/2014

   In this installation, materials are received in 50-pound bags and semi-bulk bags and are security screened for foreign objects while being conveyed to a weigh hopper, where they are automatically hatched in predetermined weights and discharged into process drums.

2. High Speed Mixers For Paints, Inks & Coatings 8/15/2013

   This white paper provides an overview of the different types of high speed mixers utilized in the manufacture of paints, inks and coatings. These machines accomplish a range of processing objectives which sometimes overlap.

3. 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.

4. Mixer And Blender Options For Vacuum Drying Requirements 11/12/2012

   Vacuum drying is ideal for processing heat-sensitive materials without risk of thermal degradation. It also allows manufacturers to recover costly solvents or safely dispose of any harmful volatiles removed from the closed system.

5. 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

6. 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
7. 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
8. 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. By VAC-U-MAX
9. Bulk Bag Unloader Facilitates Safe Handling Of Toxic Materials 9/5/2006
   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
10. 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.
