Aggregate
Efficient bulk material processing is crucial for handling sharp, dusty, or abrasive materials that can quickly wear down valves, pumps, and feeders. Any unexpected downtime in your processing equipment directly impacts your bottom line and your ability to meet customer demands.
Time lost is time you can’t recover, which is why investing in high-quality, reliable equipment is key to optimizing performance and minimizing disruptions. Many companies trust Meyer Industrial for top-tier valves, pumps, and blowers designed specifically for aggregate bulk material processing. Our advanced equipment moves materials between vessels, collects dust to prevent contamination, and ensures smooth material flow throughout your operations—plus much more. With an extensive range of products, we have the right solution for nearly every project.
Key Challenges:
The aggregate industry frequently faces obstacles such as material blockages, dust emissions, and equipment wear, which can hinder production and increase operational costs. Our goal is to provide you with innovative, dependable solutions that tackle these challenges head-on while enhancing efficiency and minimizing downtime.
The constant flow of abrasive particles can cause significant wear on rotor blades, housing, and other internal components, reducing efficiency and potential failure over time.
Asphalt particles can build up and clog the valve, particularly in the gaps between the rotor blades and housing, causing blockages and inconsistent material flow.
Due to the need for a small clearance between the rotor and housing for proper rotation, rotary airlocks can experience air leakage, which can affect the efficiency of the pneumatic conveying system and potentially create dust hazards.
Variations in asphalt material consistency and particle size can lead to uneven material flow through the rotary airlock, impacting production efficiency.
Inconsistent Material Flow: Irregularities in the material’s characteristics—such as moisture content, particle size, and bulk density—can lead to inconsistent flow through the rotary airlock.
The handling of dry materials in the aggregate industry can lead to excessive dust formation, especially when material is transferred or when the rotary airlock is not sealed properly. Dust poses environmental and health risks, and it can also affect equipment performance by causing blockages and premature wear.
The rotation of the rotor within the housing can create significant noise during operation.
Irregularities in the material’s characteristics—such as moisture content, particle size, and bulk density—can lead to inconsistent flow through the rotary airlock. This inconsistency can affect the performance of downstream processes and increase the risk of airlock jamming.
Choosing a rotary airlock not designed for the specific characteristics of asphalt material can lead to increased wear and performance issues.
Our Expertise and Solutions
Meyer Industrial offers a comprehensive suite of equipment tailored for bulk material processing in the aggregate sector. Our equipment facilitates smooth material flow through the production cycle, maintaining speed, efficiency, and safety. Crafted to endure extreme conditions, particularly heat and abrasion, our products guarantee exceptional performance and longevity in any working environment. This is what we recommend.
Our valves serve as critical airlock transition points, preventing loss of air or gas while ensuring a steady material flow between vessels under varying pressures. HDX Heavy-Duty Extra-Tough Drop-Thru rotary airlock valves for the aggregate industry are designed to withstand high temperatures and pressure differentials up to 22 psi. They also help minimize costly maintenance and downtime.
Meyer’s W.E.A.R. (Wear Elimination & Abrasion Reduction) Valve provides the ultimate package for your abrasive material build-up applications. Outfitted with a variety of wear-resistant coatings, the valve is specifically suited for the materials conveyed. Its unique design injects clean air between the head plate and the closed-end rotor. and conveying air is diverted to each head plate cavity via an engineered orifice plate.
The Meyer Double Flap Valve design controls the material flow rate through a system while preventing air leakage. It accomplishes this by isolating the processing system’s pressures. Unlike other high-temperature valves, the double-flap version has two pivoting gates that open and close in sequence.
Our Pneumatic Screw Pump is a heavy-duty dry material injection pump. Ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, it handles abrasive materials with ease. The Screw Pump, feeding dry pulverized material into a pneumatic conveying line, works where other dilute phase feeders have failed due to problems like abrasive wear, friable materials, or fine material dust. Unlike rotary airlocks, which require tight clearances to seal against the conveying air, the Screw Pump utilizes conveyed material to form a seal.
