Designing a resin handling system is not just a matter of picking a bunch of components and putting them together.
The main purpose of this section is to familiarize you with the types of system components and their function. Not every component is required for every system – it all depends on your application.
There are so many components in so many sizes, with so many capacities and levels of efficiency - that it takes an experienced systems engineer to help you choose the right combination of components. Then there’s the matter of how all of these parts are integrated to ensure a positive outcome.
On top of that, you will need guidance on choosing the right control for your current and future needs.
When it comes to installation, there are additional choices to be made and your systems engineer can walk you through that process.
There are a myriad of components through which resin and air are transferred in a central resin conveying system. Each component is chosen by your systems engineer, based on the resin being transfe...
Vacuum pumps are the heart of any resin conveying system – providing the vacuum to pull resin through your system from each source to each destination. Vacuum pumps are the most effective...
When you have multiple materials going to one or more destinations, you have to decide how you are going to get the right material to its intended destination. Toting a Gaylord out to the proce...
Vacuum loaders are the simplest version of a ‘resin conveying system’ but they are not an integral part of a central conveying system. Self-contained vacuum loaders are used to transfer...
It is not unusual to find Gaylords in plants, even if they have a central system. These containers are a popular method for resin suppliers to ship material to processors if the processor does no...
The function of vacuum receivers is to accept the resin that flows from some source
(silo, surge bin, Gaylord or drying hopper) through the conveying lines - and transfer it into the des...
It makes sense that you get better resin prices when you buy in bulk but then you also need ways to store large quantities of resin. more (+)
There are various levels of material management and each comes with a price and a promise. The more sophisticated Material Monitoring Systems give you and you...
After making decisions on the vacuum pumps and the receivers necessary, it’s time to start thinking about the details of what the system is expected to accomplish. That will determine what ty...
