Bulk Bag Loading & Unloading

Many bulk material ingredients are handled in bulk bags (or super sacs). Bulk Bag Unloaders help to safely remove all of the contents from the bag so it can then be further processed. Bulk Bag filling units help to safely package bulk materials into these 1 ton bags.

Cleaning Equipment

These automated washing systems are used in the pharma and food sectors where cleanability and hygiene is of utmost importance. And now in more and more facilities since the pandemic as well.  They can clean bins/storage tanks, as well as product components to ensure cleanliness.

Coarse Crushing

There has always been a need crushing big things into smaller pieces - stones, ore, ice, grain and more. Coarse crushers such as our impact crushers, cage mills, hammer mills and lump breakers are integral to this process and ultimately make it easier to further process your materials.

Discharge Aids

Discharge aids are used to help encourage the flow of bulk material out of a collection hopper or silo. Air sweeps, Vibrators are examples of how to help keep the flow going.

Dust Collection & Air Filtration

Dust collection is vital in every manufacturing operations’ overall safety.  Dust collection systems have pick up points that collect dust that otherwise become airborne and into the factory atmosphere while handling.  Sometimes the collected dust is valuable and can be of further use.

Fans & Blowers

With regards to dry bulk process, fans and blowers are used to either push, suck or blow air and/or dry product through an enclosed system.  They are frequently used in pneumatic/vacuum conveying systems.

Feeding

Feeders are used to accurately meter a certain amount of product into a batch or continuous process at a fixed rate. This can be done volumetrically (each screw rotation displaces a fixed volume of product) or gravimetrically (through loss in weight).

Fittings

A good fittings system will keep your production areas cleaner, saving you valuable time, money and provide a better environment for staff.  We offer the best flexible fittings system on the market!

Gate Valves - Titan Series

Titan series slide gates are used in gravity or pneumatic process applications to control the flow of heavy duty and abrasive material in nature such as clinker, cement, fly ash, sand, and gravel, . These heavy duty valves are designed to be serviced in line without having to remove the valve, minimizing downtime.

Vortex_Logo2-1

 

The Vortex® Titan Slide Gate™ is designed to meet the most demanding applications when handling heavy-duty abrasive materials such as sand, gravel, coal, and whole grains.  The TSG Gate handles dry material in gravity flow applications where positive material shut-off and dust tight sealing is required. This slide gate is available in a wide variety of configurations with rectangular sizes and customer specific hole patterns.

Vortex Titan Slide Gate Handling Roofing Granules

Accurate metering of the granules helps achieve uniform coloring of the company’s asphalt shingles. The granules block ultra-violent light as well as protecting the shingle itself.

Vortex Titan Slide Gate Handling Cement Clinker

The gates replace existing air actuated gates where the actuators were underpowered.
The Vortex gates matched the existing flange pattern design and were manufactured to
address 300° F (150° C) temperatures.

Vortex Titan Slide Gate Handling Gypsum Powder

The gate replaces a hammer gate installed beneath a bin bottom, above a screw
conveyor. The hammer gate leaked material and was never able to be completely closed.

Gate Valves - Quantum Series

Quantum series slide gates are used in gravity or pneumatic process applications to control the flow of material such as granules, powders, and pellets. These valves are also maintenance friendly and can be serviced in line without having to remove the valve.  Our seals help extend the life of the valve which gives us an advantage over the competition.

Loading Solutions

Our retractable loading spouts are often used in railcar, truck, ship, barge and stockpile loading. These are designed to capture dust, prevent material from being wasted, and ensure plant safety.

Magnetic Separation

Magnetic separation is required when trying to separate ferrous materials (with iron content) from a product stream. This is often seen in the construction & demolition, mining, and recyling sectors. This can help recover metal, as well as protect downstream equipment from costly damages.

Metal Detection

Metal detectors are used to detect any metal contaminants in a product stream, or protect downstream equipment from costly damage.

Mixing

Industrial mixers are larger version of the blenders you use at home. They take dry ingredients and mix them based on a preset time to achieve a homogeneous blend.

Pneumatic Conveying

With no mechanically moving parts, pneumatic conveying is often used in many dry material applications. This type of system is comprised of a blower, filter, receiver, piping and discharge points. Pneumatic conveying can achieve conveying to distances and configurations that other conveying equipment cannot.

Sampling

These samplers automatically inject a tube in a process stream to collect a sample which gets reviewed by a companies Quality Assurance group. This is the cleanest way of extracting samples from a product stream.download

Screening

Screening equipment is used to separate materials based on their size, or as a means of policing for contaminants in a product stream.RussellFinex logo

Screw Conveying - Flexible

Commonly used in many material transfer systems, screw conveyors offer a proven and economical way to move dry product from one place to another. We offer flexible units which have the ability to bend, as well as shafted and shaftless rigid conveyors that are engineered to order.

Sorting Equipment

Sensor based sorting equipment is used to sort by colour and size, where most other forms or seperation equipment cant be used efficiently.

Vibratory Equipment

Some material is too abrasive to convey in a screw or pneumatically. This is where vibratory equipment comes in. Less moving parts offers more efficiency for your process.
