Processed powder: chromium powder
Drum and big bag loading
This installation concerns a leading company in metal manufacturing.
The chromium powder is stored in containers (flowbins) which are deconditioned in a collecting hopper.
The objective is to screen and package in big bags or drums chromium powder with an integrated dosing system. The flow rate of the installation is 20 t./h.
The equipment includes a container deconditioning system. The industrial container is positioned using an electric hoist. The container unloading station is equipped with centering devices to optimize its installation. The connection with the container is made by a socket gasket to optimize the tightness. Once the container is installed, the operator will manually open the drain valve. The chromium powder then flows into a collecting hopper. This hopper feeds a vibrating conveyor which ensures the dosing and transport of the chromium powder to a vibrating screen. At the outlet of the sieve, the powder is packaged in big bags or drums.
Palamatic Process has designed a packaging station for bulk bags and drums. This industrial machine is used for filling bulk bags and drums while containing dust emissions and facilitating the flow of the material. An automatic bulk bag tensioning system provides optimum filling and excellent stability of the bulk bag resting on its pallet.
The FlowMatic® 02 filling machine includes 2 parts: the first is the filling station for bulk bags and drums and the second is a motorized roller conveyor for the accumulation of drums.
The filling of the FIBC is dust tight thanks to the filling head with integrated strap connection. Indeed, a leather strap is used to tighten the big bag cuff on the filling pipe. Options for inflatable seals with connection to a compressed air supply is also possible.
At the end of the filling process, the drums are removed on the roller conveyor. The roller conveyor can accumulate up to 2 industrial drums. The bulk bags are evacuated by forklift truck or pallet truck.
