Storage Hopper and Mass Flow Screw Feeder for Shredded Polypropylene and Fiberglass

Utilizing 3D parametric modeling, KWS provided a layout of their new production facility as the large hopper towered at a height of just over 21-feet. KWS designed the new hopper in small sections for easy installation in field, which would allow Hanwha Azdel to utilize cranes existing in the new facility by not exceeding load limits.KWS has extensive knowledge and experience with light density bulk materials such as polypropylene and fiberglass. Light density bulk materials can be difficult to store and meter due to bridging and ratholing. KWS designed the hopper and screw feeder using proven mass flow technologies.
