Feeding a micronizer and rotational molding machines

The TIM project & production

  • Micronizer feed project, micronized feed and silo storage
  • Feeding from silos at various filling points
  • Flexible mechanical screw feeder for three weighing points

 

2008 - Feeding from the 2 raw material silos to the first delivery point

  • The micronizer is fed by a transitube (flexible screw) from the 2 external storage silos.
  • Once micronized, the material is transferred to a storage silo.
  • A series of 3 type 100 feeders feeds, in relay, a hopper on load cells.
  • Mould feeder filled to set point

2018 - Creation of a new building to accommodate a new machine

In order to supply this new machine, the customer wanted to double its micronized product storage capacity. To achieve this, it installed a new storage silo.

  • A new line of 3 feeders supplies an intermediate buffer hopper from this silo.
  • This hopper feeds a second feed point via a valve.
  • A Type 100 double feeder system, each 17m long, feeds the new machine
  • The system is controlled by a PLC and operator console.
