What sets BMG aside in bulk materials handling is its ability to supply all components necessary for conveyor structures that handle a wide range of materials in harsh operating conditions. These products include belting, drives, bearings, couplings and motors, as well as gravity flow materials handling equipment.
BMG’s range of materials handling equipment, which is constantly extended to meet growing market demand, now includes the 4B series gravity flow materials handling products, designed for the efficient handling of solids in arduous conditions. The range encompasses flap and rotary valves; hand, pneumatic and chain wheel slide gates; lump breakers; feeding tees; and safety silo valves.
Flap valves – also known as double dump valves – are a type of airlock valve designed for bulk materials handling applications. They are primarily used to discharge powder or granular material from hoppers, bins and cyclones operating under a pressure differential. They are often used to replace rotary valves, which can be jammed or damaged by fibrous or abrasive materials. Flap valves are manufactured from hard wearing materials for extended service life in harsh operating conditions. Motor, pneumatic and gravity counter-weighted versions, which are available in standard and custom sizes, are enhanced by a wide range of sealing materials and stuffing box seals.
The 4B series of fabricated heavy duty slide gates are engineered as horizontal shut off gates in gravity flow applications, for dry materials like powders, coals, granules and pellets. The 4B lump breakers are easily integrated into an existing feeding system to break up material lumps that have compacted during transport or storage.
