Bin Handling

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.

Bulk Bag Loading & Unloading

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.

Cleaning Equipment

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

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 & Air Filtration

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.

Schenck Process

The extensive dedusting and industrial air filtration products from Schenck Process have been designed to meet increasingly stringent global regulations and to safeguard plant air quality.

Based on the Mac Process portfolio of dust collectors, which have been successfully cleaning industrial air in the USA for over 50 years, the products include bag and cartridge filter media suitable for a broad range of airflows, dust loads, particle sizes and applications.

The product range has been designed to offer the customer unrivalled operational flexibility, including the option of circular or square housings and top or side access for filter media changing, to suit process requirements or space limitations.

The industrial filtration range includes:
  • Energy saving filters using medium pressure air – the MCF PowerSaver range
  • Medium to high pressure filter with easy access – the Vertical Cartridge Filter (VCF)
  • High efficiency modular cartridge filters – the Mac2Flo range
  • Low profile, compact filter designs – the Mac SpaceSaver range
  • Nine different types of Pulse Jet filters for use with bag or cartridge filter media
  • Products available in a choice of four formats from clean air plenum only, to clean air plenum, filter body and bottom product receiver hopper for conveying applications.
A breakdown of the filtration products by appropriate market or industry:
With extensive test data gathered over the last 50 years and covering more than 600 different materials, the configuration of filter type and filter media provided by Schenck Process will be designed to provide industry-leading performance and to meet the most stringent regulatory and environmental requirements. Our Filtration TestCenter features a Particulate Emission Test (PET) Machine that is unequaled in the industry and allows us to offer comprehensive design information and supports our written certification of particulate emissions.

Explosion Protection

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.

Fans & Blowers

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.

Feeding

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).

Fine Grinding & Milling

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.

Fittings

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!

Gate Valves - Quantum Series

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.

Liquid Process

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.RussellFinex logo

Loading Solutions

Our retractable loading spouts are often used in railcar, truck, ship, barge and stockpile loading. These are designed to capture dust, prevent material from being wasted, and ensure plant safety.

Metal Detection

Metal detectors are used to detect any metal contaminants in a product stream, or protect downstream equipment from costly damage.

Mixing

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.

Pneumatic Conveying

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.

Sampling

These samplers automatically inject a tube in a process stream to collect a sample which gets reviewed by a companies Quality Assurance group. This is the cleanest way of extracting samples from a product stream.download

Screening

Screening equipment is used to separate materials based on their size, or as a means of policing for contaminants in a product stream.RussellFinex logo

Screw Conveying - Flexible

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.

Storage Solutions

Large storage tanks (silos) are used a lot in dry and liquid process to store and contain a very high volume of material safely and efficiently for plants across North America.

Vibratory Equipment

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.
