Bulk Solids Handling & Processing Innovations
All powder and bulk solids processing and handling equipment or systems require some degree of monitoring and control. The more complex an industrial process becomes, the more important it becomes that it is correctly controlled and monitored. This is where instrumentation and control systems are crucial. Silo contents measurement is a key area. Because the bulk density of silo contents may vary, level indication and level detection instrumentation is vital to prevent overfilling. In other industrial processes, controls need to be able to react to explosions, system blockages, sifter screen breakages, metal detectors, over-heated mills, etc. and take the appropriate action to prevent system damage or compromise to product quality.
Key Technology, a member of the Duravant family of operating companies, introduces their enhanced FMAlert™ software for VERYX® digital sorters. FMAlert captures and saves digital images of foreign material (FM) contaminants and can be programmed to immediately alert operators and signal a downstream device during critical FM events.

James Seagraves (Eastern Instruments)James is an veteran of solids flow measuring process design with over 27 years of experience under his belt. He is a recognized expert in flow-metering and feeding applications in a wide variety of sectors across a multitude of industries, including the food, chemical and building supply industries.When growing, harvesting, buying/selling, processing, and preparing grains, seeds, and other small agricultural products, moisture is one of the most important variables to control. In addition to the quality of the final product, moisture levels completely predict shelf life, product stability, appearance and, of course, price and profitability.

Read moreSCHLIENGEN – In the extraction or processing of natural stones those stones (basalt and lava) in different sizes are transported to a first screening by a conveyor belt. In some cases the screen may occasionally become blocked. As soon as the screen is clogged, the stones jam in the feed chute. If this blockage reaches the previous belt, it might be damaged. The common consequences: costly and time-consuming production down-times.
