http://www.nbe-inc.com/fill - The integration of multiple dry bulk material handling systems with bulk liquid mixing equipment, provide downstream process operations a reliable, repeatable, and homogeneous material supply. NBE automation and controls engineering ensure highly accurate, dry bulk material infeed from each of three bulk bag unloaders that are NTEP-certified accurate to +/- .05%. Minor ingredients are introduced using bag break stations that are also controlled to ensure accurate material infeed. Multiple, blended bulk material recipes require quick changeover. Changeover times were reduced as a result of specific design features of the NBE bulk bag unloaders and bag break stations. Internal angles, corners, and dead spaces were reduced to help prevent accumulation of contaminants. Sub-assemblies of the bulk material handling equipment, specific to the bulk bag dischargers and bag dump stations, were designed to enable one operator to facilitate tool-less access, removal, and replacement of components.
