Automatic Feeding of Kieselgur from Sacks into Dissolving Tanks
Handling bags of kieselgur is a constant daily challenge for breweries.
We provide a unified solution to automate this process. This comprises an automatic bag emptying machine to automatically open and empty the bags, with integral compacting of the emptied bags, a pneumatic conveyor to carry the Kieselgur into the dissolving tanks, and an extraction and filtering unit for the pneumatic conveyor and dust extraction for the dissolving tanks.
Plant is available for this process with different performance ratings, mainly in the range of up to 120 bags per hour and up to 250 bags per hour.
The bags has to be put only on a conveyor belt. This then transports the bags into the automatic bag emptying machine, and separates the packing material from the kieselgur. The packing material passes through a chute into an empty bag compactor where it is stuffed into a tubular film. The kieselgur falls through the emptying drum into the discharge hopper and flows into the inlet of the pneumatic conveyor. The kieselgur is fed to the pneumatic conveyor by an injector that has the advantage of having no mechanically moved parts and no input power. The product is conveyed along the pipeline by compressed air into the appropriate dissolving tank, which is selected automatically by means of two-way diverter valves. These are remotely activated, and set to the dissolving tank to be filled.
