Chemical plant develops new method to gently load fragile prills into large bulk containers
A customer's higher demand affects shipment need, prompting a chemical plant to install a dense-phase conveyor with mobile filling lance to efficiently load 20-metric-ton containers.
Aristech Chemical, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation, produces Bisphenol-A [BPA] at its Haverhill, Ohio, plant for use in coatings, compounds, and adhesives. Aristech ships BPA prills to a Japanese plastics producer who uses the prills to make polycarbonate resins for the compact disc and other markets.
