Coperion K-Tron, Niederlenz, Switzerland, will be exhibiting at Fakuma which takes place 13-17 October in Friedrichshafen, Germany.  Among equipment on the stand will be an innovative bag dump station with integrated dust hood designed to maintain a clean, dust-controlled process environment. The unit is equipped with a pulse-cleaned cartridge filter. The central exhaust ventilation is started automatically when the hatch is opened and generates a slight vacuum. The primary filter is only cleaned when the hatch is closed and the exhaust fan is on. The bag dump station can handle powder, granular, and pelletised materials. 

 

The unit on display will feature a 150-litre feed bin, a bag rest for 25kg sacks, stainless steel mesh to prevent ingress of bag fragments or oversize material as well as a KS60 single screw feeder for metered discharge of the material. Several different filter media are available to suit different applications. In addition, a user-friendly access door with gas-piston cylinders provides easy access and hands-free loading of material. The unit is constructed of stainless steel and designed for easy cleaning. The modular design makes it easy to tailor the configuration to the application and add options as needed, such as aeration pads or a fully fluidised cone to eliminate flow problems. Versions suitable for ATEX zones 3D or 2D are also available. www.coperionktron.com
