The other day a couple of our people where at the Volkmann compound to engage in a little training. I guess I for one misunderstood what we signed them up for. The video below is a little sample of how far Volkmann will go to make sure their vacuum conveying systems will work well in your environment. The video demonstrates an explosion test for baking soda. I had no idea...
The Volkmann mantra is:
Sanitary, Safe, Trouble-Free Vacuum Conveying
and that is why they do extensive product testing before they put their vacuum conveyors to use on any product. If you own a Volkmann system rest easy.
Volkmann systems are particularly well-suited to dust-tight,
segregation-free and damage-free powder handling under vacuum. With
features such as “No-Tools” dis-assembly and easy cleaning, as well as
designs conforming to cGMP standards, air-driven Multijector® vacuum
generation and ATEX certification for explosion-proof applications –
it’s no wonder Volkmann is leading the industry with powder and granule
pneumatic conveyor solutions.
National Bulk Equipment Inc. (NBE) has appointed PROMAT Engineering
Sales (2003) Inc. to represent the full line of NBE bulk material
handling systems, bulk material packaging systems, and packaged product
recovery systems, throughout the Canadian provinces of Manitoba,
Ontario, and Quebec, and the Maritime provinces of New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island.
“PROMAT Engineering has a very proactive, engineering-based sales
strategy,” said Todd Reed, president of NBE. “They recognize the
application-specific, integrated systems capabilities of NBE and are
able to communicate that distinct position to their markets.”
Based out of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, PROMAT provides to bulk
material handling operations and processing facilities an experienced
staff of sales engineers. “We are an organization with broad
applications engineering experience,” says David Lewis, president of
PROMAT. “From food processing to chemical processing and
pharmaceuticals, to mining or forest products, the PROMAT team is ready
to leverage the strength of NBE and bring even greater process
performance advantages to our customers.”
Here at PROMAT we are excited to sell this beautiful line of machinery. The line fits right in with some of our core values, providing robust, industrial quality equipment that works well in your application and will last a long time.
Changes are in the offing at MAC Process. We have been representatives of MAC since they were known as MAC Equipment, and even though their name has changed they continue to provided industry leading dust collection and pneumatic conveying products. As Industry Today puts it:
The changes which are in the form of a merger with Schenk AccuRate. They will form a new company called Schenk Process North America, Inc. which is due to be launched officially on January 1, 2013. MAC Process in their press release stated:
Change always brings with it new opportunities and new challenges. We at PROMAT will continue to solidly represent MAC and the high quality equipment they provide to our clients.
Our commitment to bringing the right solution of industrial quality equipment for your material handling needs remains our priority.
Back in May we attended the International Powder show (PTXi) in Chicago. One of our manufacturers, Volkmann who builds high-quality, high-performance pneumatic vacuum conveyors was exhibiting there. During the show a Mike Wasson from
Processing Magazine came by and on the spur of the moment shot a video at the Volkmann booth. Nick Hayes of Volkmann in New Jersey who was quite likely a little apprehensive about having to adlib the whole thing, nevertheless does a fine job of relating the information. The video shows both the VS and PPC units being taken apart which could be useful both if you have one and to see how easy it is if you are thinking about getting one.
While watching the video you will notice one of our own PROMAT team in the background (white shirt, good looking chap). He is indeed our own Shawn Barber and you can see him helping a visitor understand the Volkmann system. One can certainly appreciate and even almost comprehend what he is saying simply by watching his hands, and certainly you get a sense that he knows what he is talking about.

Among the many facets of bulk solids material handling we at PROMAT have extensive experience with, one of the more difficult to wrap one's head around is pneumatic conveying. While collectively we have broad experience with both pneumatic and vacuum conveying which goes a long way to shedding light on this "black art" it is nevertheless important to have a comprehensive understanding of the basics.
We have in the past connected with Jack Hilbert of Pneumatic Conveying Consultants who is recognized as one of the "guru's" in this "black art". Over at the Plattco Corporation website Jack Hilbert has begun authoring a series of articles to help everyone understand the basics of pneumatic conveying systems.
In Part 1 Jack describes the basic pneumatic conveying system, defines key parameters and the three primary types of systems.
Plattco Corporation
is the recognized leader for valves that solve material handling
problems in a wide variety of industries. Plattco specializes
in the design and manufacture of Double Flap Airlock®
Valves and associated multi-purpose slide gates as an important
part of dry material handling systems.

This is the inaugural post for the unofficial blog of PROMAT Engineering Sales (2003) Inc. at blogger.com's blog site.
It is really only for testing, research and development purposes.
Like
any machine worth it's salt, we will put this blog through it's paces
to see if it is robust enough to stand up to the rigours and ruggedness
of everyday, workday, real life.
Rotary Scalpel Technology introduces a unique and revolutionary technology to the batching and filling process industries, recommended for applications requiring exceptional precision and ultimate process optimization of cost and quality The Rotary Scalpel offers a new level of precision in dispensing small increments of material into a batch or package. With the precision of a surgeon's scalpel, the Rotary Scalpel can deliver +/- 0.5 grams, independent of batch size. The Rotary Scalpel technology can be utilized to handle a variety of materials, even fines such as flour. Rotary Scalpel Technology (patent pending) utilizes two innovative key components: 1) a large inlet specially designed to insure consistent material flow into a rotary feed drum and 2) a pneumatic "scalpel."Upon receipt of a setpoint weight, the pneumatic scalpel will smoothly "knife off" from a filled vane of the rotary feed drum the precise amount of material needed to complete a batch or fill a container. Unneeded material remaining in the same vane is recycled back to the material source, eliminating all waste. In batching applications, the Rotary Scalpel can be applied as: 1) a batch dribble control system-stand-alone; 2) batch dribble control system complementing a fast fill batcher to complete the batch; 3) single ingredient loss-in-weight batch system performing both fast and dribble feed, simultaneously feeding multiple ingredients; 4) single ingredient gain-in-weight batch process system, performing both fast and dribble feed in new process lines or as an addition in an existing process line.
