Telescoping Loading Spouts Handling Feed Ingredients

A Feed Mill contacted Vortex to help them control material dust in their facility. They were using a method where material would free-fall into the individual retaining areas, creating a massive dust storm and potential employee health issues.

A wheel loader transports the feed ingredients from the stockpile to a mixer. From there, the material is pelleted, bagged, and stored on pallets ready for shipments.

Vortex supplied six telescoping loading spouts for the Feed Mill. Each spout is 508 mm across and equipped with double layer, trapezoidal shaped dust skirts that encompasses the peak of the material pile – containing the dust as material is stockpiled.

An external tilt probe signals the Auto-Raise System and manages the spout’s retraction process (keeping the dust skirt on the material and preventing material build-up in the spout) as the pile grows.

Loading spout handling tea
Last year, a tea & coffee merchant in the United Kingdom contacted Vortex Global to discuss a process need. Various types of tea leaves were being fed into a blending drum. Because tea leaves have explosive potential, a solution was needed to control fine material particulate. As tea processing is also held to the highest food and beverage safety standards, the solution must also be compliant with these regulations. Features: This Vortex retractable spout is actuated pneumatically by three Vortex air cylinders, replacing the Vortex Loading Spout’s standard electric motor and 4-cable hoist drive system. For beverage safety, the spout’s material contact areas are constructed from 304 stainless steel, with all welds ground and polished to a 52RA/#3 finish. The spout utilises a stainless steel tube-in-tube design, with all welds ground and polished to a #3 finish (52RA). The blue neoprene-coated outer sleeve is ATEX-approved and is static dissipative to address the

Roller Gates Assist in the Production of Horse Feed
Roller Gates Assist in the Production of Horse Feed
Last spring, Vortex consulted with a horse feed producer to assist with a process need. At this facility, the client is producing forage cubes. Upstream in the process, bales of hay are broken down and minor ingredients are added before the raw materials are formed into cubes (approximate size: 75 – 100 mm square). Once formed, the cubes are transferred into cloth silos. Below each silo, a common belt conveyor transfers forage cubes to a packaging line, where they are loaded into bulk bags. Vortex was tasked with identifying a solution for discharging forage cubes out of the cloth silos, down onto the belt conveyor. Primarily, the client is concerned with forage cube quality and thus, the cubes cannot be damaged upon gate closure. Upon careful analysis of the application, the Vortex Roller Gate was recommended. The client sourced this small-batch order as part of the “proofing” stage of its new production process. Now installed in their application,
