“We contacted Trantec to supply an FIBC hanging frame and a screw conveyor as we needed to integrate a new station into our existing three station blending system. The team at Trantec worked with us to deliver the project within the required time frame despite the difficulties everyone has faced during the Covid-19 lockdown. The additional station allows us to be far more flexible when optimising our blends.”
Trantec Solution
Trantec were tasked with producing a repeat of the ‘’bulk bag’’ FIBC stations already on site. It was essential to maintain commonality with elements of the current system to ease operator and maintenance training. We quickly understood the customer requirements but suggested a ‘’split frame’’ design to make assembly on-site easier with minimum lifting equipment. The mainframe was fabricated in two sections- upper and lower, which made the installation possible using existing lifting equipment.

”We contacted Trantec to supply a hopper and a screw conveyor with a two-way diverter valve arrangement as we needed to upgrade the old existing system into a tablet Press at a multinational company in South Wales. Trantec worked with us to deliver the project within the time frame despite the difficulties everyone has faced during the Covid-19 lockdown.”
Trantec Solution
Trantec supplied a customised system to mate with the Ceramics companies existing rigid bin system, we quickly understood the customer requirements and suggested a two way diverter valve design to enable them to fill the tablet press hoppers, the material being used was a difficult one with poor flowing characteristics which required agitation and vibration. The system was quickly installed and put into production.
