The
Gemco Porta-Hopper
Bin Blending System |
 |
| The
flexible hopper blending system that didn't forget the blend.
|
| 1. |
Does
your product need shear to achieve a blend? No problem. |
| 2. |
Does
your product need precise and uniform liquid addition?
No problem. |
| 3. |
Do
you have minor ingredients to extend through out the batch?
Again, no problem. |
| 4. |
Is
your product validated in a traditional tumble blender vessel
shape? No problem at all with the double-cone design
of the Porta-Hopper. |
| 5. |
Is
your production bogged down in the added costs of small
bin batches with high assay and record keeping costs? Again,
no problem with batch sizes available up to 100 cubic feet. |
|
| The
patented Gemco Porta-Hopper system combines a traditional double
cone tumble blender design with a hopper system by making the
lower part of the blender detachable and interchangeable. The
entire batch now moves to the next step in the production process
without the typical segregation effects of repeated handling and
discharge. |
| And
the Porta-Hopper provides fast processing. Typical blending times
are spent in loading, unloading and cleaning the blender, not
the process of blending. With the Porta-Hopper system, one hopper
is blending as another is unloading. Still another hopper is awaiting
assay while one is being washed and another is being filled for
the next batch. |
| Cleaning
the traditionally stationary top of the unit is fast and easy
with full inspection access. Agitator disks and seal housings
can be removed, cleaned and replaced in minutes. Hopper-top gaskets
snap in to ensure no product cross contamination. |
| Controls
range from simple push button relay logic to sophisticated controls
including batch records in either hard copy print outs or electronic
batch records. |
| New
hopper-top seal systems, agitator shaft seals and pneumatic interlock
systems make operation simple while minimizing maintenance.

Introduces New Severe Application Agitator Air Seal
|
| Best
Defense Against Particle Migration Back Into The Bearing Area,
The Leading Cause of Agitator Failure |
| Gemco
has recently developed a new sealing arrangement for the agitator
shaft. The seal modification is a radical departure from the shaft
packing approach of other Gemco designs. The sealing surface is
moved to perpendicular to the shaft rotation. |
| A
series of concentric face lip seals rotate upon a smooth, polished,
replaceable surface. A small gas backpressure is maintained behind
the seals to help prevent powder from entering the seal area.
The powder path along the shaft will be stopped with a static
O-ring between the rotating shaft and the rotating face seal holder. |

more information on how this seal can help you, please call our
service department at ext. 333. |

Introducing
GemcoValve's new clean K valve
All
the advantages of the GemcoValve plus it comes apart, by
hand, for easy cleaning.
Traditional
GemcoValves offer full port opening to prevent bridging
and promote mass flow thereby eliminating segregation or
de-mixing as well as self-wiping of the sealing area preventing
jamming and seat wear. Now the Gemco K valve also dismantles
by hand, allowing it to be disassembled, cleaned and reassembled
in minutes without the use of any tools.
|
 |
|
| The
K valve is available in the widest range of materials and finishes,
can be manual or pneumatic operated and is rated for full vacuum. |
