Cement Handling Problem Solved for Safe Maker Spiroflow Solves Cement Handling Problem for Security Products
Cement Handling Problem Solved for Safe Maker
Spiroflow Solves Cement Handling Problem for Security Products Access Security Products Ltd. is a leading manufacturer and supplier of burglary and fire resistant safes, vaults and physical security equipment. The company uses an expensive proprietary cement mixture in the walls of their safes and vaults rendering them almost impenetrable to thieves and fire. The material is a fine powder, which arrives by container quite compacted, has very poor flow characteristics, bridges easily, is very abrasive and readily absorbs moisture. The cement is packaged in twenty 2,000lb/ 900kg single trip, single loop, lined bulk bags which must be emptied into a large outdoor storage silo. Access Security had initially purchased a $ 40,000 pneumatic conveying system from another supplier but the cement material accumulated within the conveying tube rendering the conveyor completely inoperable. After working with the vendor for some time without resolution, Access Security ultimately had no other choice but to scrap the equipment and find

Spiroflow Low Headroom Bulk Bag Discharger Unloads Fish Food
The new Spiroflow unloader installed at Skretting of Longridge, Lancashire, UK, has enabled an increase of productivity. Discharging bulk bags is 4 to 5 times faster then before. Skretting of Longridge, Lancashire, UK, a fish food manufacturer, had an ingredients handling system installed over 8 years ago by a specialist contractor who had included a simple bulk bag unloading arrangement which feed ingredients into an Aero Mechanical Conveyor. Requirements # The Aero Mechanical Conveyor lifts ingredients up to a horizontal screw conveyor feeding storage bunkers on the floor above. # It was the ‘simple’ bulk bag unloading arrangement that proved to be the bottleneck in the production process and the cause of constant frustration to operators. # Comprising just a lidded hopper with a spigot, where the neck of the bulk bag was attached, the simple bulk bag unloading arrangement required the a fork lift truck for the duration of discharge because there was no other means to support the bag. # In addition, an operator had to be on standby to aid the flow of poor flowing or compacted products.

Reducing material breakage with a tube conveyor system A good solution to reducing material breakage is a gentle conveying system. Low-speed, high-volume movement will slowly push the material along without too many contact points and no impact forces.
Reducing material breakage with a tube conveyor system
A good solution to reducing material breakage is a gentle conveying system. Low-speed, high-volume movement will slowly push the material along without too many contact points and no impact forces. In many industries, the integrity of the materials or products being conveyed is of utmost importance. This is especially true in the food processing industry, where materials are particularly fragile, and breakage can lead to many negative consequences. However, even though preserving material integrity is crucial during the conveying process, no less than 29% of industrial facilities state that material breakage is one of the top three conveying challenges they face on a daily basis. Material breakage Material breakage is defined as the separation of material particles into two or more pieces under the action of stress. Any place where the product or raw material is sliding against a conveyor surface (be it a tube, flat surface, or any other) can cause material abrasion and possibly material breakage. Breakage generally leads to a decrease in product value. In the food industry, even the smallest amount of breakage can lead to lost product, sanitation issues,

Aero Mechanical Conveyor for Flavored Coffee transfer
For the first time in 14 years, the aero mechanical conveyor, operating eight hours a day, five days a week, needed a replacement wire cable. Customer Requirements Excelso Coffee & Tea needed a reliable means of transferring blends of roasted coffee from a mixer where flavoring is added to a buffer hopper above the packaging machine that packs finished product for shipment to customers. Excelso Coffee & Tea Company For 14 years, Excelso Coffee & Tea Company in Norcross, Georgia, has been using a Spiroflow Aero Mechanical Conveyor (AMC) in its flavored coffee production operation without replacing any parts – until July 2008. Excelso is a custom provider of coffee and condiments to offices, vending machine outlets and private label sales. It roasts more than 2,000,000 lb/ 907,000kg of coffee a year. This equates to 3,000,000 cups of coffee a day. Conveyor installed in 1994 The Model PC3 Aero Mechanical Conveyor was manufactured and installed at Excelso’s production facility in 1994. Operating intermittently eight hours a day, five days a week, the AMC conveys coffee from a V-Ribbon blender to

Best conveyors for conveying powdered tea or loose leaf tea Spiroflow experts discuss tea conveying challenges and review considerations for the mechanical conveyors most suitable for conveying tea
Best conveyors for conveying powdered tea or loose leaf tea
Spiroflow experts discuss tea conveying challenges and review considerations for the mechanical conveyors most suitable for conveying tea Before it is packaged, tea is handled in loose leaf or instant powdered form. Both forms come with challenges that must be overcome via conveyor system design to ensure a final product that is consistent in both flavor and quality. In this article, Spiroflow experts will discuss tea conveying challenges and review considerations for the mechanical conveyors most suitable for conveying tea. Tea Conveying Challenges * Degradation - Friable tea products are prone to degradation, which can cause undesired flavor variations. A conveyor featuring gentle handling will prevent and protect the product from bruising and breaking tea leaves. In addition to impacting flavor, excessive degradation resulting in too fine of a product can cause challenges with separation and blending. * Dusting & Safety – Additionally, conveying tea can result in considerable amounts of fine combustible dust which, if not contained, is extremely dangerous – as static buildup from conveying

Aero mechanical conveyor transfers spices from storage to production
The Aero mechanical conveyor is cost effective and capable of self-emptying to ensure that everything emptied into the inlet comes out the other end. Customer Requirements Patak’s Foods Ltd. of Leigh, Lancashire in the United Kingdom is a world leader in the production of Indian food. With more than 300 employees, products are distributed internationally to more than 40 countries. The Leigh plant was a significant investment in state of the art food processing facilities which, at 164,000 sq. ft/ 50,000 sq. m, is believed to be the world’s largest Indian food plant. There was a need to improve the transfer of goods from storage to the processing area. * The plant uses 2,700 tons of spices from around the world. * Together with other ingredients, they produce over 1 million snacks and over 1.5 million ready-made meals and 30 million jars of sauce a year. * To achieve this, they are currently working 24/7. To keep up with demand there was a need to improve the transfer of goods from storage to the processing area. Spiroflow Solution A Spiroflow Aero Mechanical Conveyor (AMC) was the natural choice for
