Solids handling specialist, Ajax Equipment, has supplied leading food and agricultural products manufacturer, Cargill, with a stainless-steel buffer hopper and twin screw feeder to handle filter cake. The system allows spent filter cake to be held as required and then emptied at a consistent rate.

Ajax designed the handling system’s vee-shaped hopper and twin screw feeder together to help ensure the smooth transfer of filter cake. According to the company, utilizing a screw feeder below the steep walled hopper facilitates the reliable flow by providing active extraction of material. Due to the demanding characteristics of the filter cake, Ajax recommended the screw’s flights be manufactured in a wear resistant steel and with geometry to fully serve the hopper outlet.

The Ajax team were great to work from first contact and then through design, manufacture and the Fat. They certainly know the technology and their products, shares Cargill.

After going on site to discuss the requirements of the handling system and conducting flow property testing on sample material at Ajax’s lab, the firm worked with Cargill to develop a system which would provide a reliable feed of spent filter cake, determining that a vee-shaped hopper and twin screw feeder would deliver the performance required, concludes Ajax Equipment.
