Does your factory handle large volumes of bulk material? Do you want to…

- Prevent accidents like material spills and pile-ups
- Prevent bottlenecks by ensuring consistent equipment speed for synchronized processes
- Allow preventive maintenance by identifying potential equipment issues before they become serious problems

Both S&P companies and local businesses use DAZIC to keep everything “up to speed.” Find out more: https://controlconceptsusa.com/safety-and-production-issues-signs-you-need-a-conveyor-belt-speed-sensor/

A conveyor belt speed sensor measures the speed of a conveyor belt and is a crucial part for preventing safety and production issues.

Is poor material flow holding back your product development and innovation?

A major paint and coatings manufacturer needed to use a new grade of Titanium Dioxide that had finer, lighter particles. The material would bridge above the vibrating feeder system and slow down production.

Read how AirSweep not only fixed the problem but cut batch time to just 15 minutes. Read the full case study: https://controlconceptsusa.pulse.ly/favfgmfrbn

AirSweep prevents bridging, ratholing, and material blocks – and it works on even the toughest materials.

We tried it out on sawdust, a fibrous material that can clump or block the outlets of hoppers or other processing equipment. It took AirSweep just 10 seconds to clear sawdust out of the vessel. The dust-tight nozzle design also prevented any material feedback, so none of the sawdust entered the pipes or the valves.

In this material flow test, we demonstrate AirSweep®’s effectiveness on sawdust.

Machine downtime is one of the most common and expensive problems in industrial or manufacturing facilities. One Forbes report estimates that companies experience 800 hours of downtime per year, or more than 15 hours a week.

Machine downtime is one of the most common and most expensive problems in industrial or manufacturing facilities. AirSweep can help.

One of the world’s largest tire manufacturers had hit a roadblock in production. Carbon black, one of its key materials, kept bridging in the hoppers. It was causing frequent delays and product waste.

AirSweep put their production back in the fast lane. “The fluidizers were really ineffective,” said the manufacturer’s engineering technology specialist. “AirSweep has provided us with reliable flow and reliable batch uniformity.”

PVC is a thermoplastic polymer that’s used to make everything from pipes to shoes. It’s a cheap, durable, and versatile material. However, it tends to clump and bridge in the hoppers and other process equipment.

AirSweep is the best flow aid for challenging bulk powders. Watch this video to see how it keeps PVC flowing – and the process going: https://controlconceptsusa.com/video/pvc-powder-material-flow-test/

Have you ever “cleaned” your room just by doing a random sweep and shoving your junk into a closet?

Most flow aids are like that. They shake some of the material out of the vessel but leave a lot of residue. Workers still have to clean up after them.

However, AirSweep is so powerful that it can completely flush out all the material and sweep the vessels clean. Some companies are even using it to cut down on their cleaning time between batch runs.

Find out how companies are using AirSweep to make bulk processing more efficient: https://controlconceptsusa.com/how-different-industries-use-airsweep-for-bulk-material-processing/

AirSweep is cost effective and a versatile flow aid that can be used in any industry to improve bulk material processing.

AirSweep is usually installed on silos and hoppers, but it can actually be used in any kind of processing equipment.

A plastic and chemical manufacturer found out it was the only flow aid that worked for them. They were using a powder with high moisture content, and bridging problems in the cyclones caused frequent shutdowns and cleanouts.

“The AirSweep was a success! We are already looking at retrofitting more units into other vessels with the same material.”

We poured five gallons or 34 cubic feet of coffee grounds into a hopper. (That’s about 32 Starbucks Venti cups.)

The coffee grounds wouldn’t flow. Fine powders tend to become compact and will either trickle out of the hopper or form clumps.

AirSweep can fix that. After just one pulse of powerful, compressed air, all the coffee grounds flowed out like water: https://controlconceptsusa.com/video/coffee-grounds-material-flow-test/

Problematic material flow can cause companies to lose money and opportunities.

A cement company estimated they lost $12,000 for every hour of downtime caused by poor material flow. A paint manufacturer had quality control issues with a new formula because one powder kept bridging in the feeders.

Are you experiencing similar issues in your plant? Find out how AirSweep pneumatic flow aids helped solve these problems and achieve real results– from saving money to cutting batch processing time. https://controlconceptsusa.com/3-ways-how-to-improve-material-handling/

Poor material handling is a problem many plants face. Here are three ways to improve material handling for better efficiency and lower costs.
