Inventory / Metering / Airlock

An Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) system is designed for the efficient transport and storage of bulk materials, both liquids and solids. IBCs are reusable, making them an economical and environmentally friendly choice for industries.
11) Weighing System
Weighing system plays a critical role in monitoring and controlling the amount of material transported. These devices are integrated into the system to measure the weight of the material ensuring precise dosage and consistent flow. This is essential for maintaining product quality and efficiency in operations.
12) Level Sensor
A level indicator is a device used to measure and monitor the level of a substance within a system or tank, silo, or hopper. It provides essential information on the amount of material present, which is crucial for process control, inventory management, and safety operations.
13) Double Flap valve
A double flap valve is designed to control the discharge of bulk materials from bins or silos, particularly handling abrasive or hot substances. It uses two alternating flaps to maintain an airlock, preventing air backflow and ensuring consistent system pressure.
14) Rotary valve
A rotary valve, also known as a rotary airlock, controls the flow of bulk materials between compartments while maintaining air pressure in systems like pneumatic conveyors.
15) Venturi
A Venturi pick-up chute in pneumatic conveying systems uses the venturi effect to introduce materials like powders or granules into the airflow for transport. It features a constricted area that accelerates air speed and reduces air pressure, effectively drawing materials into the stream.
16) Screw Conveyor
Screw conveyor is often used to feed bulk materials into the system at a controlled rate with offset dosing distance. The advantage of integrating a screw conveyor in a material handling system lies in its ability to provide a steady, controlled flow of material.
