National Bulk Equipment automated bulk material mixing system

Saturday, 30 July, 2016 | Supplied by: Mercer Stainless Ltd


Designed specifically for the fully automated introduction, transfer, mixing and blending of sluggish materials, National Bulk Equipment’s integrated mixing system produces such homogenous blends that downstream production scrap is virtually eliminated.

An NBE lift-and-seal gaylord discharge system, with a dust-tight, custom discharge hood, introduces the material to the transfer bin. An integrated agitator and vacuum pump transfer system supply material to the high-volume material mixer. Within the mixer, an auger mixes material in a 10-gauge mix tube. In-feed scoop blades at the base of the mixing auger, and broad-throw dispersion paddles at the top of the mixing auger, ensure a homogenous and consistent blend supply to downstream processes.

The company’s integrated automation centralises system control, communication, monitoring and reporting to a single UL listed HMI. Rigorous risk assessment procedures work to prevent hazards to those who operate and maintain the equipment, while identifying improvements in physical ergonomics and equipment access points. Expertise in application-appropriate codes, standards and regulations ensure system compliance at start-up.
