In July, 2010, Deca Vibrator Industries, Inc. responded to a regional cement manufacturer with a<\/p>\n
problem with build-up and blockage of material in a feed hopper with 3 discharge bins feeding into an<\/p>\n
auger conveyor delivering the material (synthetic gypsum) to the production process<\/p>\n
The Problem:<\/p>\n
Material: Synthetic Gypsum<\/p>\n
The synthetic gypsum created as a byproduct of coal consumption at a local power plant combined with several<\/p>\n
other materials retained a moisture content of about 18%. The material is located in a feed hopper and delivered<\/p>\n
to three discharge bins (pictured below) by front end loaders. Because of the nature of gypsum material<\/p>\n
combined with moisture content, once material was loaded into the three discharge bins and the auger feeder<\/p>\n
was started, the material would adhere to the side walls of the discharge bins and begin to build-up. The buildup<\/p>\n
would continue until a rat hole situation would occur \u2013 restricting <\/em>the flow of material to the auger. To deal<\/p>\n with the build-up, personnel were using an air lance to break up build-up on walls, trying to facilitate the flow.<\/p>\n Feed Hopper with Three discharge Bins Front View Discharge Bins from Backside of Loading Area<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Front View of One Discharge Bin, Personnel with Air Lance at Work<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n Relief from extensive labor involved in air lance usage and the interruption of material flow to the<\/p>\n production process were the driving force to find a solution that worked.<\/p>\n The Solution:<\/p>\n Deca Air-Slide Flow Aid System<\/p>\n <\/p>\n AS65CS Air-Slide<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Relief from extensive labor involved in air lance usage and the interruption of material flow to the<\/p>\n production process were the driving force to find a solution that worked.<\/p>\n The Solution:<\/p>\n Deca Air-Slide Flow Aid System<\/p>\n AS65CS Air-Slide<\/p>\n Immediately, Deca Air-Slide Flow Aid System was proposed to the engineering staff. Deca\u2019s needs analysis<\/p>\n team was then given specification drawings of the feed hopper & the discharge bins and went to work on the<\/p>\n specifications of the solution. Recommendations were then presented to the facility staff and management. A<\/p>\n decision was made to install a beta test on one of the three discharge bins<\/p>\n Side View of (2) AS65CS Air-Slides<\/p>\n <\/p>\n End View of (1) AS65CS Air-Slide<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After the installation of the recommended number of Deca Air-Slides and the Air-Slides positioned to<\/p>\n specifications, the test was commissioned. The sequential controller with timer was set to fire the Air-Slides<\/p>\n for two complete cycles with a predetermined time delay between each Air-Slide firing. The test was initiated.<\/p>\n The feed hopper loaded the beta bin to its capacity and the auger was started. Within 20 minutes the result was<\/p>\n quite evident. The recommended solution by Deca Vibrator Industries, Inc. did not allow any build-up on walls<\/p>\n to occur. Soon all levels of management were onsite \u2013 impressed with the results. The Deca Air-Slide Flow<\/p>\n Aid System provided a low maintenance, labor free solution to the material flow problems that had been<\/p>\n occurring. With the correct need analysis, recommended installation features and Deca Vibrator Industries, Inc.<\/p>\n expertise another solution to difficult material flow dilemma was put into operation.<\/p>\n Deca Vibrator Industries, Inc. was given the order to supply two more Deca Air-Slide Flow Aid Systems for<\/p>\n the remaining of the two discharge bins on the feed hopper. They were also engaged to supply a needs analysis<\/p>\n for another application within the same plant.<\/p>\n Bin without<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bin without Air-Slides<\/p>\n Bin using Air-Slides<\/p>\n The Deca Air-Slide Flow Aid System, customized to the customer\u2019s application, proper installation and<\/p>\n setting up the Sequential timing of the firing of the Air-Slides is key to thethe success of the<\/p>\n Flow Aid System<\/em>.<\/p>\n Products: X-ray System, B ultrasound scanner, 2D\/3D\/4D Color Doppler ,Anesthesia Machine, Ventilator, Defibrillator, H.F Electrosurgical Unit, Patient Monitor, , Automatic X-ray Film Processor, Auto\/Semiautomatic Biochemistry Analyzer, Elisa\/Microplate Reader & Washer, Urine Analyzer, Blood Coagulation Analyzer, Electrolyte Analyzer, Full-automatic Hematology Analyzer, Infant Incubator, Infant Radiant Warmer, Dental X-ray, Dental Unit,ECG, Upper & Nether Gastrointestinal Electronic Endoscope, Sterilizer, Hospital Furniture, Shadowless Operating Lamp, Operation Table, Centrifuge,blood refrigerator, Hemodialysis machine, vacunn blood tube ,blood collection needles and all kinds of medical disposable material.<\/u><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dental\u00a0hand piece,\u00a0medical\u00a0cabinets.<\/p>\n\n
