Powder Handling Services by De Dietrich Process Systems

In-house solids testing and Powder Pump rental options help to ensure your product can safely and efficiently transfer using our dense-phase conveying technology, while helping to collect valuable data on your material’s conveying characteristics, transfer rates and dust containment. Not only will you gain confidence in our expertise prior to purchasing equipment, you also will be able to observe the conveying success first-hand. Based on the data obtained during testing and rental trials, DDPS engineers can develop a customized solution for your application.

Benefits

All-glass Powder Pump allows for unique observation during trials
Versatile set-up permits transfer from bulk bag unloader, bag dump station and suction lance
Testing schedules provide flexibility for time-constrained projects
Comprehensive data analysis and application review ensure best solution

Certain circumstances, such as highly valuable products, prevent a customer from being able to send enough material to perform a typical in-house trial. Powder flow analysis is a testing option that can assess smaller samples of your product while still obtaining high-quality data. Using a Powder Flow Tester, DDPS can record various flow properties of materials. The data collected is then compared with historical data from our product testing database to help identify the best process solution for you. Powder flow analysis is performed for all products tested in-house, giving us the ability to make data-driven recommendations while giving you complete confidence in our proposed solution.

Testing the transfer capabilities of your powder is an essential step in qualifying a solution for your process. Our solids handling test center, located in our Charlotte, North Carolina facility, provides in-house testing and demonstrations for customers to witness product trials in-person (when possible). Here, we are able to imitate similar conditions to our clients’ real-world applications, utilizing a glass Powder Pump receiver to provide visibility into the process that no one else can offer. Doing this helps us identify any problems that could potentially occur during the discharge process and determine the best way to address them.

Features

Several components are used to conduct a full system test:

Powder Pump System
PLC Control Panel
Bulk Bag/Super Sack Unloading Station
Bag Dump Station with integral dust collection
Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump

Advantages

Glass Powder Pump provides visibility into your process
Real-world simulations give accurate data for your application
Customers gain a better understanding of technology and confidence in solution through witnessing trials in-person
Flexible scheduling options
Affordable preliminary analysis

Renting a Powder Pump system is another viable method for testing the transfer efficiency of your product in conjunction with our dense-phase conveying technology. This option is necessary for extremely hazardous or explosive materials that we would be unable to test at our facility due to their volatility. Renting a Powder Pump allows you to perform your own product tests at a pace that suits you, in the real world of your own production facility. Select sizes are stocked and available for you to put through rigorous tests (along with a vacuum pump rental if needed).

Features

3 sizes available (4”, 6” and 8”) to accommodate a range of transfer requirements
Rental includes all peripheral components needed to create a full system
PLC and Pneumatic control panel options provide complete automation of transfer process
DDPS technical support

Advantages

Better understanding of equipment and functionality through first-hand use
Ability to test your product with exact site conditions
Proof of efficient transfer using your material increases confidence in solution
Quick delivery – often ready to ship same week of order
