We're always happy to chat and just might be able to help.
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.
There has always been a need crushing big things into smaller pieces - stones, ore, ice, grain and more. Coarse crushers such as our impact crushers, cage mills, hammer mills and lump breakers are integral to this process and ultimately make it easier to further process your materials.
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.
Some dry bulk solids like sugar and grain dust are highly explosive. Explosion vents help vent an explosion to safe destination (outdoors, away from workers), while explosion suppression equipment sends a chemical into the process to extinguish a fire ball, keeping the plant environment safe.
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.
Magnetic separation is required when trying to separate ferrous materials (with iron content) from a product stream. This is often seen in the construction & demolition, mining, and recyling sectors. This can help recover metal, as well as protect downstream equipment from costly damages.
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.
Conveyors for Dense Phase
Engineered for Each Project by Schenck Process
Pneumatic conveying is key to a bulk material handling system. Our range of Clyde Process, Pneumatic Conveying systems – using Dense Phase – are proudly adopted globally and provide dependable, high efficiency performance, whilst being bespoke and engineered for the processing of bulk materials, in a variety of industries.
Dense Phase Pneumatic Conveying is a method for handling bulk materials, using high pressure and low gas volumes, to efficiently push materials along the bottom of an enclosed pipeline.
How Pneumatic Conveying Works:
Suitable for handling and moving a wide range of materials, including difficult, abrasive products and ranging from fine cohesive powders to wet lumpy coal, Dense Phase Pneumatic Conveying pushes the material along the pipe in a plug form, at relatively low velocities. This means minimal wear on pipes and bends, allowing for minimum maintenance and long life performance.
Efficient use of compressed air also gives low power consumption and operating costs, whilst the enclosed pipeline ensures no material escapes and is therefore not wasted. Material is commonly transferred from a single collection point to either a single or multiple reception points.
Benefits of Dense Phase Pneumatic Conveying:
- Minimum Maintenance
- Minimal Wear for Long Life
- Low Operating Costs
- No Wasted Material
Why Schenck Process?
Schenck Process is home to our Clyde Process, Dense Phase Pneumatic Conveying systems and is regarded as one of the world’s leading brands for this technology.
What differentiates our range of Dense Phase Conveying Systems is our 40 year experience in specialist design and engineering allowing for: Simplicity, Reliability and Flexibility. In nearly all cases, each system is engineered to be bespoke to your requirements.
Before we embark on any project, we will work with clients to truly understand their process needs, what materials are being handled, investigate the material characteristics and ensure we engineer a system that provides optimum performance and long-life operation.
