materials, batch material conveying
equipment (such as mechanical drag
conveyor), lot tracking and traceability,
barcode scanning and RFID
scanning. Other customized options
can also be included. Micro weighing
systems are those that have
scale weighments up to around 50
lb. Larger weighments are known as
Minor (from 50 to 100-150 lb) and
Major (>150 lb). - Systems & Controls,

These vibratory belt conveyors
are durable
The Vibratory Belt Conveyors from this
company are durable bulk processingequipment
conveyance systems for
moving products. These vibratory belt
conveyors
are highly
customizable
depending on the user's manufacturing
needs. Available in various lengths,
the units can be tandem-mounted in
series for longer lengths as needed.
Design features include safety side
panels/guards; two counter-rotating
motors (230/460 V, 3 phase, 60 Hz);
UL controls available; can have up
to four vibratory tables; and tubular
trough construction. - Best Process

A new conveyor belt-cleaner
design, with cut-to-length
A new conveyor belt-cleaner has been
designed with an innovative method
of holding the urethane blade in place
without the need to mill any slots for
holding pins. Combining the benefits
of previous designs into one product,
the QC1+ Belt Cleaner (photo) can be
cut to length to fit virtually any application,
reducing the need for customers
to stock multiple blade sizes to accommodate
different belt widths. Operators
simply trim the blade to the desired size
from the stock 9-ft (2.74-m) length to
match the material path, slide in the
blade holders and lock them in position.
The new blade can be retrofitted
to virtually any of this company's main
frame and most competing designs.
Five different urethane formulations are
currently available for the QC1+. -

Contained glove-box bag-dump
station for hazardous materials
The SackTip SE bag dump station
range (photo) is designed to fully contain
hazardous dust for the feeding of
powders and bulk solids into a manufacturing
process. Design features include:
infeed roller conveyor for bags
and sacks; glove box for bag handling
and opening operation; discharge hopper;
integrated dust collection with jet
pulse; and integrated sack compactor
for waste volume reduction and containment
of residuals. The sack tip trays
can be manufactured in mild, 304 or
316 stainless steel with optional mirror
polish on internals. The company can
further design this equipment to meet
strict ATEX and Class/Div. hazardous
area requirements. - Palamatic Process

Classifi cation system
separates at dual cut points
A clever upgrade from classifiers limited
to a single cut point, the Dual
Classification System (photo) enables
processors to separate feed materials
into three different product streams
instead of just two product streams
to meet gradation specifications for
multiple products and help convert
material discarded as waste into saleable
product. Devised for classifying
cement, limestone, asphalt sand, filter
sand and other aggregates, the
Dual Classification System integrates
the company's Gravitational-Inertial
Classifier (GIC) with its Centrifugal
Classifier (CC) to separate the feed
material at any cut point from 300 μm
to 63 μm (50 to 230 mesh) during the
initial pass, then at any cut point between
100 μm to 15 μm (950 to 150
mesh), all with a uniform distribution.
The Dual Classification System is
custom-designed and manufactured
for each installation to meet target
production goals and material specifications.
The system is proven to
perform continuously in unattended,
continuous operation. - Van Tongeren
