46 / June 2020 powderbulk.com Bag-dump station has 3-A sanitary finishes, clean-in-place features Hygienic bag-dump station for emptying bulk solid materials into a process is available in both fil- tered and nonfiltered styles. Unit is suitable for sanitary process envi- ronments. Unit has a removable internal bag rest, a hinged door with gas springs, and large open- ings to enable a sanitary method for internal clean-in-place cleaning. Unit's bag filter cages are Type 304 stainless steel with 16-ounce singed polyester side-removal bags that meet 3-A sanitary requirements. Unit's diaphragm bodies are all stainless steel as opposed to others on the market that use aluminum. Unit's interior and exterior finishes all meet 3-A sanitary requirements, and it features ferrules mounted for use with a clean-in-place skid. Schenck Process, Whitewater, WI 800-558-0184 www.schenckprocess.com Rotary airlock suitable for high-volume single- phase dust collectors Single-phase rotary airlock for cyclone dust collectors is suitable for shops generating high volumes of wood dust. Airlock eliminates the need for an airtight waste con- tainer and allows for the use of a dumpster, hopper, or transfer blower system. Airlock is suitable for single-phase high-vacuum dust collectors from the supplier or nearly any make or model single- phase collector. Airlock has a ¼-horsepower helical drive, high- efficiency gear motor that controls the material discharge flow from the collector via a steel and rubber rotor. Airlock's slower rotational speed versus competitive airlocks allows reduced energy usage, qui- eter operation, and less wear and tear on the motor and seals. Airlock measures 19 inches tall, 26 inches wide, and 18.5 inches deep with a 10-inch diameter to move up to 4.9 cfm of air and material when load- ing at 100 percent.

Bagger's bottom-up filling system avoids material free falling as the vertical auger automatically fills the bag from bottom to top, keep- ing dust emissions to a minimum. Bagger fills in two steps; first coarse filling, then top-up fine filling, allowing for rapid and accurate target weights and a production capacity of up to 20 bags per min- ute. Bagger meets standards for handling explosive powders and has flexibility to adapt to differ- ent bag sizes up to 55 kilograms. Bagger is cleaner, faster, and more accurate, offering higher precision compared to other technology on the market, such as valve packers and carousel bagging systems.
