System Summary: The requirements of this mineral packaging application had to effectively handle three separate materials with varying bulk densities. Each material is accurately metered, within +/- 1% with our gravimetric feeders. Material is conveyed, on demand from the Bulk Bag Unloaders using the Helix Flexible Screw Conveyor, and from the storage silo using our Tubular Drag Conveyor. The metered material is discharged from each feeder into a mill below the platform where a second Tubular Drag Conveyor takes the blended material to a load-out station outside the building.
Materials Handling: Minerals
Customer Challenge: Customer produced bagged fertilizers and needed to expand packaging to meet growing seasonal demand
Goals Achieved: the upgrade to a more accurate and automated packaging system helped the customer meet the seasonal spike in demand.
