National Bulk Equipment automated material conveying system

The National Bulk Equipment automated material conveying system is designed for fully automated handling and processing of highly abrasive, non-free-flowing metal flake material.

It ensures reliable, repeatable material supply to integrated feeders that meter material for introduction to an inline briquetter. Processed briquettes are conveyed downstream for reclamation.

Material supply hoppers with live-bottom, variable frequency drive discharge-metering conveyors transfer material to inclined, cleated, belt conveyors. Downstream sensors monitor material supply requirements and automatically call to discharge-metering conveyors for material as process rates dictate.

Integrated material feeders receive and prepare material for metered discharge to the briquetter. Automation centralises all drive controlling, material feed sensing, material routing, and control layer monitoring and reporting to a single, UL listed HMI.
