Somerset, N.J.-based process equipment manufacturer Gericke USA developed a mobile pneumatic conveying control system that it says prevents product loss, contamination and fugitive dust emissions during the unloading of powders, pellets and other bulk materials from tankers, trailers, railcars and silos.
The mobile STP 61 system lets process engineers automate conveying inside the plant at the point of receiving outside the plant.
Once a sealed connection is established, the controller directs the material transfer automatically, safely and efficiently, Gericke says.
The system is delivered fully assembled, preprogrammed, tested and ready to operate or custom configure using a full-color, touchscreen control panel set up in a choice of 14 languages.
