The Vortex Aero-Slide Conveyor is an ideal choice for handling plastic powders, providing reliability that is hard to find in traditional air slides. Designed with a focus on enhancing operational efficiency and reliability, this conveyor system utilizes a rectangle-shaped line, delineated by an air-permeable layer. This design incorporates a dual-chamber system that significantly optimizes material flow. By introducing low-pressure, dry air into the bottom chamber, it fluidizes materials, enabling their precise and smooth transportation.

The Monitor Technologies Model KA provided the answer to Strong’s problems. The KA rotary paddle bin level indicator uses a heavy-duty electric motor and a unique motor shut-off mechanism with external clutch and adjustable sensitivity. Rather than “stalling” the motor and allowing it to continue to over-torque and turn against the buried paddle, the Monitor Model KA shuts the motor off and extends overall life and ensures long-term reliability. Monitor’s Model KA is used as low and high level alarms on silos, bins and containers throughout Strong Company’s production operation.

The rotary valve by design provides a more metered approach to product flow due to the rotary being in the material path. In this application the rotary was determined to be the bottleneck that was restricting the loading capabilities.
A drum valve was selected because it has a similar footprint as the rotary but the more open throughput of the drum valve allows material to flow through it more freely.

The Monitor Technologies SiloPatrol® smart cable-based sensor system with 4-20mA output was being used successfully on this difficult application at the Luzenac plant in Sappington, Montana. The Three Forks plant needed a solution and decided to try the SiloPatrol inventory monitoring system to reliably keep track of their finished goods inventory. In this tough application the SiloPatrol proved to be the best solution. The sensor is unaffected by the dust and internal bin structures. The SiloPatrol sensor uses a powerful direct drive motor and 270lb. tensile strength cable along with state-of-the-art microcontroller based electronics.

In this application, the customer specified Halar coating over other liner options due to past success with this product on chutes and other equipment they have in service. The customer requested an epoxy coated air cylinder to protect from corrosiveness as it is a more economical option and requires a shorter lead time than a stainless steel air cylinder.
