Acrison’s Model 105 Series of Volumetric Feeders for dry solids feature a unique, dissimilar speed, double concentric auger metering mechanism designed to accurately and reliably meter a wide variety of dry solid materials. The metering mechanism consists of a large 'conditioning auger' or Intromitter, concentrically mounted around a smaller, slower rotating 'metering auger', operating at dissimilar speeds in a fixed proportion to each other by a single variable speed gearmotor.
Acrison’s Model BDFX-1.5-2 Volumetric Feeder has dual conditioning augers/agitators, which are independently driven, and also includes two separate, independently driven metering augers. When combined, the two metering augers produce a very wide feed range. The Model BDFX-1.5-2 Feeder eliminates the task of changing the metering auger of a continuous dry solids feeder whenever a wide feed range is required. Additionally, the Model BDFX-1.5-2 provides both high (rapid feed) and low (dribble) feed outputs for batching applications.
Get to know the benefits of measuring and monitoring your inventory with the BinMaster 3DLevelScanner - the only sensor that generates a 3D visual of the material in your bin, tank, or silo.
BinMaster’s MVL multiple-scanner system significantly increases inventory accuracy in very large bins, tanks and silos. The system takes data from multiple 3DLevelScanners to cover a very wide surface area, and deliver inventory volume with greater accuracy than any level measurement device.

Managers at Daily Manufacturing, Inc. discuss why they replaced a ribbon blender with a Munson Mini Rotary Batch Mixer to blend ingredients for the firm’s high quality nutritional products. The mixer gently but thoroughly mixes ingredients having different bulk densities, and is easy to clean between batches. Daily Manufacturing produces more than 50 blended products in batch sizes ranging from 15kg (33 lb) up to 200kg (440 lb).
The president of Kingdom Products, a producer of decorative concrete, explains how his firm brought blending operations in-house to eliminate color variations. Stainless steel rotary batch mixers from Munson Machinery give them batch-to-batch consistency with fast cycle times, quick clean-out to prevent cross-contamination, and durability, since some of the company’s products are abrasive. The company uses a Munson Mini Mixer to test new products, and two larger Munson Rotary Batch Mixers for production.

Isolation is essential to protect adjoining system components against the spread of combustible dust explosions. Silos are usually connected by pipelines through which, if an explosion occurs, fire and the pressure spread very rapidly. In addition, the intensity of the explosion in connected containers is increased by pressure piling and flame jet ignition. This can be prevented by the REMBE EXKOP isolation system, consisting of a control panel and one or more quench valves. The integrated elastomer seal within the quench valve closes within a few milliseconds.
A widely used measure to protect against damage caused by combustible dust explosions is venting with explosion panels. Our bestseller, the Q-Rohr, protects industrial plants worldwide. No matter what the type of dust/industry—food, pharma, chemical or metal dusts, hybrid mixtures or gases—the REMBE Q-Rohr can safely handle them all, keeping explosions in check. It efficiently protects personnel, the environment and equipment and ensures that manufacturing can continue safely and smoothly, even within a building. It is the ultimate explosion retention solution!
