Work bins can be as simple as a tote on wheels which allows personnel to work with product, or they can be larger pieces of equipment used to stage product in a continuous process, as shown in the gallery. They are typically...
Process control is a critical aspect of modern manufacturing and production operations. It involves the use of technology and software to manage and monitor production processes, ensuring that they run smoothly, efficiently, and...
Roller conveyors use rollers, bearings, and a little bit of gravity to transport products and materials. They are commonly used in manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution centers to move items efficiently and accurately....
Baghouses, or bag filters, iare a type of dust collection system that uses filter bags to capture and remove dust and other particulate matter from industrial processes. These systems are commonly used in a wide range of...
Cartridge dust collectors use pleated filters, like those in your car and home, to filter small particulates out of the air of manufacturing facilities. The filters can be round or rectangular, and made of natural or synthetic...
Cyclone dust collectors use centrifugal force to separate dust particles from the air stream. They are designed for use in a wide range of industrial applications, including cement and minerals processing, power generation, and...
Rotary valves are flow control devices commonly used in the conveyance of powders, granules, and other bulk materials in a material handling system. They can be used simply for flow control with standard belt conveyors, for...
Cleated belt conveyors are standard conveyors with raised edges (cleats) to keep product in place and prevent it from sliding or falling off the belt as it moves. This allows greater capacity and conveyance up slopes. The...
Corrugated belts feature walls which are expandable so they can wrap around pulleys, and are often combined with cleats to form buckets. Although corrugated belts are also used in food processing plants as pictured here, they...
Pneumatic conveyors use pressurized air (CO2 or nitrogen can be used to keep temperatures low) to move materials through a pipeline. This type of conveying system is widely used in a variety of industries, including chemical,...
Flat belt conveyors are the simplest and most common of conveying methods and are used for relatively lower capacity/speed applications. They can be used on slopes up to a maximum of 25° for sticky solids, but applications where...
Trough conveyors are belt conveyors where the bed or idle pulleys are shaped to bend the belt and cup the product. This improves the belt’s carrying capacity by helping the product mound and provides a degree of protection from...
Magnets are a cheap and effective way to catch metals that may have been introduced to the field or the harvested bud. By passing herb across extremely strong magnets, metals that would otherwise damage the shredder and cause problems during drying or extraction are captured. Though magnets are typically placed immediately after the intake conveyors, they can be placed in numerous stages of the production line depending on the state of the product and the equipment involved. There are various simple and auto-clean types available, they are easy to install, and they last indefinitely.
With a huge range of models and configurations, and over 50,000 units in the field, Schenck’s line of screw feeders can meter nearly any product in any environment. And with their high degree of reliability, precision, and customizability, they often provide the best performance for these applications on the market. The characteristics shared by all feeders are listed in the table, and options for each model class are detailed below.
Tank & Hopper Scales/Load Cells You can turn almost anything into a scale by putting it on load cells. We carry load cells for simple, stationary applications as well as highly engineered solutions for heavy, vibrating, and...
Checkweighers Checkweighers ensure product is not over or under-weight. They convey product over segments of belts that rest on load cells, which provides an advantage when weighing heavy product, and a disadvantage at very high...
