Looking for those who have worked on powder feeding systems
Thread Content
Have those who have worked on powder feeding systems encountered this issue? We ordered a powder tank, and worried that the powder wouldn’t flow down, we installed a fluidizer and an air hammer in the tank. We used a single-electrovalve two-position five-way solenoid valve, but from what I’ve found, such solenoid valves are typically used with double-acting actuators. However, neither the vulcanizer nor the air hammer operates on the principle of a double-acting actuator. I’m not sure how to handle this situation; please advise!
The two-way three-port valves are fine; the solenoid valve needs to have its air outlet adjusted. A gap needs to be sealed.
To prevent bridging during powder transfer, pulse valves for backwashing are generally installed at the bottom cone of the tank, or electric vibrators can be used
