We have made some significant improvements to our range of Bulk Bag Fillers – all designed to increase filling accuracy and cycle time.
The all new C Series Bulk Bag Filler is the model for users wanting to remove bags on a pallet by forklift truck. It retains the robust, 2 leg frame offering unimpeded access to the front of the filler for the easy hanging of empty bags. Dependent upon the application, filling can either controlled by volume or by weight. For customers wanting ‘Weights and Measures’ (OIML) approval, there is the option of an automatic ‘gain-in-weight’ weighing system with programmable one-touch controls. The operator can control Bulk Bag Filler operations, accurate to +/- 1%, as well as the upstream material feed devices. (more…)
A midwest-based grain elevator and storage company had four receiver hoppers that they were interested in having level sensors installed in. When they first get in a load of grain or soybean, they place it in the receiver bins while a sample of the load is being tested (for moisture content, etc.). Once the product is cleared it then gets placed in their regular storage silos. As you may imagine, during peak times product is going in and out of these receiver bins at a rapid pace. Some type of level measurement system that could keep up with this dynamic situation would be most useful. Plus, the soybean and grain being moved around so quickly caused some highly dusty conditions which needed to be taken into consideration.
For the rest of their storage bins they were already using SiloPatrol® cable-based level sensors linked to SiloTrackTM inventory management software. Since they have two locations, they were able to monitor the inventory the silos for both locations from the main office using the SiloTrack software. The SiloPatrol sensors worked well for their regular grain storage silos; however, for the receiver bins they needed something that could provide “real-time” measurements besides work with their inventory software and be reliable in extremely dusty surroundings.
The Flexar® guided wave radar system was suggested to them because it matched all of the criteria. To make sure that everything was going to function properly, the company tested out one Flexar unit at first. After a period of time, they determined that the Flexar sensor was able to reliably do everything they needed so the company purchased Flexar sensors for the rest of their receiver bins. (more…)

Alternative energy projects are getting large investments by the US government and venture capitalists as our country struggles with how to deal with global warming and dependence on foreign oil. Using biomass waste to generate power reduces the need for environmentally unfriendly energy sources such as coal.
One US alternative energy company has developed a pressurized combustion process that takes wood product waste and uses it to generate electrical and thermal energy. The high pressure/high temperature combustion gas is used to drive a gas turbine that generates electricity. Their standard systems are designed to produce from 1 to 10 MW of power that can be used at the site or even sold to the local grid. In additon, the high temperature turbine exhaust gas can be used for drying product, generating steam, or producing more power with the use of a steam turbine. They recently installed their first system and used a FKI cyclone to help make it work. (more…)
