Unexpected HR Consequences of Inadequate Particulate Emissions Monitoring

From "Will I be happy living there" to "Will I be safe breathing the air there?"

We spend every day working with companies to help them better monitor and manage their particulate emissions through better baghouse monitoring and control.

Are you properly monitoring your Pneumatic Transport System?

Air pressure controlled, pneumatic process control systems are used extensively for conveying powder and bulk solids in many industries.  Improperly controlled systems can result in problems for the manufacturing process.  Blockages Flow/No Flow monitoring), material drop out (More Flow/Less Flow monitoring), or  product damage can occur when the product velocity is not directly measured and controlled. For example, during pneumatically transported breakfast cereal operations, the lack of product velocity control can result in significant product damage.  Often the solution is to simply increase the air flow in the system, but the actual effects of this action is unknown inside the pipe or duct.  There is a need for more sophisticated, particulate velocity control technology to help minimize such product damage.

Triboelectric Detection to optimize velocity in your Food Processing

Reducing product damage by optimizing conveying speed 

Are velocity issues creating product loss and breakage problems for you? Are you frustrated, even exasperated with the expense incurred as this breakage occurs? Are you looking for creative ways to best optimize velocity with product being moved in order to minimize breakage?
