Equipment for toasting soybeans?
What information do you have about toasting soybeans and suitable equipment? The aim is to lower the levels of urease and TIA in the soybean to make the product better adapted to poultry and pigs.
Read moreMinimum conveying velocities for various particle types
I am currently in the process of designing a dust collector. One of the first steps involves specifying the correct minimum conveying/pickup velocity at the inlet of the hood. It is to be used in the baking industry and can see anything from different flours, sugar, salt, seeds, whole buns, etc. After a couple hours […]
Read moreWhat Do Chutes And Hoppers Do In Pneumatic Conveying Systems?
A pneumatic conveying system can’t function without the combination of chutes and hoppers – they are integral and critical components that are inseparable because they act as a giant funnel that helps to get your material into your system.
Read moreWhat Is Saltation Velocity?
Saltation velocity is the speed below which particles being conveyed through a pneumatic conveying system lose suspension and begin to deposit at the bottom of horizontal pipelines.
Read moreAre All Moisture Sensors Equal?
When working with materials that can hold water, it is always important to know how much water is contained inside it. Depending on the size of the particles, storage method, temperature, and many other factors, some materials can hold more water than others.

One single compressed air supply line from the compressor room is branched out into two main lines in our plant, one is to supply the dense phase conveying, and another one will be supplying the rest of the plant, mainly filling and packing machines. It is known that the main consumption of the compressed air […]

Our feeder has mismatch reading of weight to actual, calibration and tared was done.. Overfeeding and underfeeding always occurs. What should we do.. Controller was newly replaced. It was suspected that at a certain time that the wave is leaning to the high side, our additive results increases, and when the wave is leaning to […]
