Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) are used to store, transport and process bulks. These patented IBCs are great for flow issues such as bridging, blocking and blend segregation. They are ideal for customers with high number of recipes and need quick changeover.
Many bulk material ingredients are handled in bulk bags (or super sacs). Bulk Bag Unloaders help to safely remove all of the contents from the bag so it can then be further processed. Bulk Bag filling units help to safely package bulk materials into these 1 ton bags.
These automated washing systems are used in the pharma and food sectors where cleanability and hygiene is of utmost importance. And now in more and more facilities since the pandemic as well. They can clean bins/storage tanks, as well as product components to ensure cleanliness.
Discharge aids are used to help encourage the flow of bulk material out of a collection hopper or silo. Air sweeps, Vibrators are examples of how to help keep the flow going.
Dust collection is vital in every manufacturing operations’ overall safety. Dust collection systems have pick up points that collect dust that otherwise become airborne and into the factory atmosphere while handling. Sometimes the collected dust is valuable and can be of further use.
With regards to dry bulk process, fans and blowers are used to either push, suck or blow air and/or dry product through an enclosed system. They are frequently used in pneumatic/vacuum conveying systems.
Feeders are used to accurately meter a certain amount of product into a batch or continuous process at a fixed rate. This can be done volumetrically (each screw rotation displaces a fixed volume of product) or gravimetrically (through loss in weight).
Adhesives and sealants are comprised of a wide variety of liquids, pastes, powders, granules, and solid melt ready materials. Most applications incorporate some amount of liquids and solids passing through a mixing or extrusion process to form a custom mixture specific to each product. Getting those materials into and away from the mixing or extrusion process in a clean, timely, and accurate manner is important.
Schenck Process has years of industry experience handling raw ingredients and additives for manufacturing adhesives and sealants. Whether it is material unloading, pneumatic conveying, receiving and storage, precision feeding, dust collection, size reduction or screening, Schenck Process has the system to meet your specific needs and all of it can be combined into one system by our project management team.
These mills are used to take a coarse product and grind it down to a finer powder. These mills cater to applications where temperature control (because grinding creates heat), and end particle size are of utmost importance.
A good fittings system will keep your production areas cleaner, saving you valuable time, money and provide a better environment for staff. We offer the best flexible fittings system on the market!
Titan series slide gates are used in gravity or pneumatic process applications to control the flow of heavy duty and abrasive material in nature such as clinker, cement, fly ash, sand, and gravel, . These heavy duty valves are designed to be serviced in line without having to remove the valve, minimizing downtime.
Quantum series slide gates are used in gravity or pneumatic process applications to control the flow of material such as granules, powders, and pellets. These valves are also maintenance friendly and can be serviced in line without having to remove the valve. Our seals help extend the life of the valve which gives us an advantage over the competition.
Most liquid equipment runs more efficiently without solids in the steam. Liquid screeners are used to ensure that solid contaminants can easily be removed from a liquid process, which eliminates the need for production stoppages.
Industrial mixers are larger version of the blenders you use at home. They take dry ingredients and mix them based on a preset time to achieve a homogeneous blend.
With no mechanically moving parts, pneumatic conveying is often used in many dry material applications. This type of system is comprised of a blower, filter, receiver, piping and discharge points. Pneumatic conveying can achieve conveying to distances and configurations that other conveying equipment cannot.
Rotary valves are used to control flow of a material in a process, as well as to lock out air from being circulated to parts of a system. This eliminates dusting and keeps maintenance and shutdown costs down.
Screening equipment is used to separate materials based on their size, or as a means of policing for contaminants in a product stream.
Commonly used in many material transfer systems, screw conveyors offer a proven and economical way to move dry product from one place to another. We offer flexible units which have the ability to bend, as well as shafted and shaftless rigid conveyors that are engineered to order.
Commonly used in many material transfer systems, rigid screw conveyors offer a proven and economical way to move dry product from one place to another. These units can be shafted or shaftless
Some material is too abrasive to convey in a screw or pneumatically. This is where vibratory equipment comes in. Less moving parts offers more efficiency for your process.
