Solids handling equipment maker, Ajax Equipment, has supplied research instrumentation producer, IGI Systems, with a stainless-steel conical hopper with gas purge capability, as part of a prototype Sublimation System for a low-pressure chemical vapour deposition application.

The hopper includes a variety of features to ensure best performance including manufacture in stainless steel to provide excellent corrosion resistance, while the hopper’s highly polished internal surfaces enhance wall slip which promotes material flow. An external vibrator provides a further aid for flow should it be required, shares the company.

Ajax Equipment’s impressive solids handling expertise helped develop a practical storage solution for the system. The hopper’s fabrication is of high quality, and IGI Systems is happy with the finished product.

Ajax Equipment mentions that although size limitations meant this hopper is one of the smallest Ajax has ever produced, its design ensures a reliable flow of the granular material being handled. Ajax worked with IGI Systems to provide the best wall angle, construction and surface finish for their application within the available headroom and interface needs. Normally Ajax recommends measuring the bulk solid’s flow properties as one of the first steps of any handling project; in this case testing wasn’t possible due to the solid’s toxicity, but the firm still utilized its knowledge of best flow practice to develop a suitable design.
