How Material Behaviour Affects Bulk Solids Dosing in Water Treatment
Explores how material properties influence bulk solids dosing in water treatment, with a focus on system design, testing, and auger-based equipment. Bulk solids handling issues in water and wastewater treatment are often attributed to equipment performance. However, in many cases, the root cause lies not with the equipment itself, but with how the material behaves under process conditions. Powder behaviour is influenced by properties such as flowability, bulk density, particle size, and moisture content, all of which determine how materials move, compact, and discharge. Understanding these behaviours is particularly important in water treatment applications handling materials including hydrated lime, powdered activated carbon (PAC), polymers, and salts. Understanding Material Behaviour in Bulk Solids Powders do not behave like liquids. Their flow properties can change depending on environmental conditions, storage time, and handling method. Cohesive materials may compact and form stable structures, while aerated powders can become fluidised and difficult to control. These behaviours can lead to common issues…

Feeding Solution for Critical Low-dosing Applications Specialised devices ensures process efficiency and maintaining product quality by preventing deviations in material quantities.
Feeding Solution for Critical Low-dosing Applications
Specialised devices ensures process efficiency and maintaining product quality by preventing deviations in material quantities. Experience precision and Reliability with Trantec’s Micro Screw Feeder, the Ultimate Solution for Accurate Material Handling Advanced Design Developed through extensive research and developed by skilled engineers, Trantec has designed a Micro screw feeder for applications requiring ultra-low dosing, typically ranging from a few milligrams to several grams per hour, essential for applications dosing exact ingredient quantities in food production, chemical processes, or maintaining stringent quality control in pharmaceuticals. Principle of Operation Micro feeders operate on the same fundamental principle as larger screw feeders, utilising an auger screw. This helical mechanism regulates the flow of materials regardless of their flow characteristics. The auger is based in a trough at the bottom of a specially designed hopper with angled walls to promote gravity-driven material flow and is driven by a stepper or servo motor. These motors allow for exceptionally…

Bespoke Flexible Screw Conveyor for Wastewater Solids Handling Engineered flexible screw conveying solution for cohesive material handling in wastewater processes, designed to integrate with existing systems while supporting consistent flow.
Bespoke Flexible Screw Conveyor for Wastewater Solids Handling
Engineered flexible screw conveying solution for cohesive material handling in wastewater processes, designed to integrate with existing systems while supporting consistent flow. In wastewater treatment operations, handling dry, powdery and cohesive materials presents a number of practical challenges. Equipment must operate reliably while accommodating existing infrastructure and often restrictive layouts. Application Requirements and Integration Constraints In this application, a flexible screw conveyor system was engineered to promote smooth material flow when handling powdery, cohesive materials, while integrating with an existing roller conveyor system. The objective was to support consistent material transfer to the next stage of the process without introducing blockages, spillages, or increased maintenance requirements. The system was designed and manufactured in-house at Trantec Solids Handling’s facility in Stacksteads, Lancashire, ensuring full control over the engineering and fabrication process, supported by extensive experience in bulk solids handling applications. System Design and Engineering Approach A bespoke inlet…
