This book is intended to be a resource for 

process design and plant engineers who are 

responsible for designing and running 

processes handling powders. 

The main focus of the book is on the 

instability, reactivity and combustibility 

hazards of particulate solids manufactured 

or handled in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. 

Toxicity hazards are also discussed.796 pp. 

Processing of 

Particulate Solids 

J.P.K. Seville, U. Tüzün and R. Clift 

‘Particle Tech nol ogy’ is a new sub ject 

facing new challenges. Chemical and 

process engineering is becoming less 

concerned with the design of plans to 

produce generic simple chemicals 

(which are often single phase fluids) and 

is now more concerned with speciality 

‘effect’ chemicals which may often be in particulate form. 

Chemical and process engineers are also being recruited in 

increasing numbers into areas outside their traditional fields, 

such as the food industry, pharmaceuticals and the 

manufacture of a wide variety of consumer products. This 

book has been written to meet their needs. 372 pp.

Aerocon 


Aerocon was formed as the mechanical 

conveyor division of VAC-U-MAX to 

capitalize on the need for a quiet, dust free, 

gentle and simple means of mechanically 

conveying dry bulk materials using the de - 

vel oping technique of Aero-Conveying. 

Building upon 40 years of powder handling 

technology, with the combined experiences 

of Aerocon employees, we have developed a 

new, cleaner and more efficient range of 

conveyors that more closely reflects the 

market’s demand for a multiplane, 

multiple-inlet, filterless conveying system. 


Aerocon mechanical conveyors are sold 

throughout the world. The result of aeroconveying 

is high volume, controlled 

transfer of dry materials such as chemical 

products, foods, and pharmaceuticals 

efficiently and economically, with little if 

any effect on the material, however friable 

and degradable. 


As with many aspects of powder processing, 

a good product or concept is not sufficient 

to guarantee a successful appli cation. 

Equally important is the ability to apply 

that knowledge. In Aero-Conveying, much 

of the industry had looked upon the 

conveyor as a straight line, point-to-point, 

single-speed machine. Aerocon was 

responsible for changing that view. 

Application of the technique is now more 

important and consequently, so is product 

testing. VAC-U-MAX has extensive 

experience and a state-of-the-art test lab that 

is equipped with a full range of Aero- 

Conveyors. Aerocon has full access to this 

facility and to the extensive engineering 

department with its CAD equipment. Add 

to this a modern manufacturing facility that 

includes dairy standard production and the 

Aerocon facilities become some of the best 

available on the market today. Aerocon has 

access to 85 employees covering all aspects 

of the powder handling business. 

Major Products 

The MKII Aero-Conveyor, which is 

manufactured in the USA, covers a wider 

range of applications, including 90° corners 

and long radius sweep bend versions. In 

addition, the developments of Aero- 

Conveying that resulted in the three phases 

of conveying have now been incorporated 

into Aerocon. 

The addition of a unique and awardwinning 

Bulk Bag Unloader unit, allpurpose 

Bag Dump Station, and in-house 

control panel manufacturing capabilities 

enables us to provide turnkey systems that 

meet the needs of today’s demanding 

marketplace.

Company has been engineering a 

complete line of sifting and screening 

equipment for more than a century. 

Our screeners are used for scalping, 

grading and fines removal from dry, free 

flowing powders and granular materials 

and are renowned for their highly 

reliable drives, dependable operation 

and quality craftsmanship. 


Great Western serves chemical, plastics, 

and mineral industries in addition to 

cereal grain processors, mix plants, 

bakeries and snack food producers, spice 

processors, and the pet food industry. 

Technologies 

Each screener is engineered for the 

customer's specific application and 

utilizes the gentle gyratory sifting motion 

which reduces product degradation. 

Many options are available that allow the 

screeners to be customized to meet 

specific needs. 

Our In-Line pressure sifter/screeners are 

uniquely engineered to work under 

pressure. The QA Series of In-Line 

screeners is engineered and 

manufactured with a high level of 

sanitation in mind, as well as ease of 

maintenance using light weight 

components, and form fitting, snap-on 

neoprene gaskets. 

Because we put the priority in sifting, 

our In-Line sifters incorporate the 

features engineers, sanitarians, 

maintenance personnel and operators 

have come to expect in any reliable 

gravity flow sifter: accessibility, 

maintainability, and reliability. 

Like all Great Western sifters, our new 

QA line of quality assurance gravity flow 

sifters operate with a horizontal gyratory 

sifting motion that is recognized for its 

superior performance and precision 

separations. Using multiple stacked 

sieves, large amounts of sifting surface 

can be obtained while using a minimum 

of floor space. Multiple separations can 

be achieved with the amount of sieve 

area for each separation accurately 

allocated according to product 

requirements. 


Great Western maintains a 

comprehensive testing laboratory to 

evaluate product samples in order to 

determine how a product handles and 

what difficulties might be encountered 

due to particle size distribution, particle 

shape, bulk density, moisture and oil 

content, and the possibility of static 

charge. Recommendations can be made 

regarding optimum equipment size and 

specifications for sifter speed and circle, 

sieve depth, throat size, side opening, 

pan slope, and the number and type of 

cloth cleaners to meet process 

objectives.

impact with elbow walls. On system 

start-up, a slowly rotating, self-renewing 

ball of material is formed in the Smart 

Elbow’s chamber. Conveyed material is 

then gently deflected through its change 

of direction, eliminating elbow wear, 

plugging, surging, and product damage. 


HammerTek serves processing and 

related industries worldwide through a 

network of sales representatives and 

distributors. Smart Elbows provide the 

ideal solution for conveyed materials 

such as powder, grain, sand, fly ash, 

wood chips, plastic, dust, grit, fluid,

Corporation employs a wide range of 

alloys and coatings to provide a Smart 

100% AMERICAN MADE 

Elbow suitable for virtually any 

application. The Smart Elbow conveys 

corrosives and abrasives safely, eliminating 

leaks, costly downtime, lost product and 

the disposal and maintenance issues that 

worn-through elbows inevitably create. 


HammerTek engineers offer a wealth of 

experience in solving specific conveying 

problems and providing superior, costsaving 

conveying technology. They 

work closely with system designers, 

plant engineers, and maintenance 

personnel to develop sound conveying

Technologies 

Using air to classify fine particles (below 

10 microns) is widely used in the industry 

today. However, recoverability in the 

percentage of fine particles compared to the 

percentage available is very low, mainly 

because of poor seal design. The patented 

MICRO-SEAL, makes the MICRO- 

SIZER system superior to other classifiers. 

Using a primary, as well as a secondary seal 

across the rejector rotor, the MICRO- 

SEAL insures unmatched sharpness of cut.

Sentry Equipment manufactures systems 

and components for collecting 

representative samples of steam, water, 

gas, liquid, slurry and bulk solids— 

enabling safe, simple and repeatable 

samples for process and power 

generation industries worldwide. 

Recognized as the standard in sampling 

equipment, Sentry systems and 

components have been used by 

analytical and operational professionals 

for more than 85 years. As employee 

owners, we believe in developing 

products and programs that set the bar 

higher for our industry, our community 

and ourselves. This is reflected in the 

industries and people we serve. 


Sampling is the act of capturing product 

from the process for the purpose of 

analysis. Major industries served include: 

Oil refining, mining, cement, chemical, 

food, pharmaceutical, petrochemical and 

power generation. 

Facilities 

In 2007, we moved to a new 66,500 

square foot facility in Oconomowoc, WI 

where we employ ISO-certified processes 

and state-of-the-art technology to 

manufacture more than 50 different 

sampling products, operating in three 

manufacturing modes simultaneously— 

Made to Stock, Made to Order, and 

Engineered to Order. And as our 

systems and components are sold 

throughout the world, Sentry 

manufactures to meet national, regional 

and global standards and requirements 

(i.e., ASME, NACE, CE, JI, CSA, UL, 

ATEX, 3A, GOST, CRN, etc.). 


Whether it’s powder, pellets, flakes, 

granules, grain or friable materials (freeflowing 

or static) Sentry Automatic Bulk 

Solids Samplers extract noncontaminated, 

representative samples 

from chutes, spouts, air-slides, bins, 

conveyor belts, pneumatic convey lines 

and vessels, using a variety of techniques: 

point, strip, cross-cut and conveyor belt 

extraction. Sentry ISOLOK® and 

former Gustafson brand automatic 

samplers are relied on in many 

demanding applications to collect raw 

and finished product, load-out and 

custody transfer material. Other Sentry 

products include: PLC-based controllers 

for continuous and/or time-regimented 

sample collection; conveyor belt 

samplers; special alloys and coatings for 

wetted materials and demanding 

applications; high-pressure cleaning 

systems for railroad tank cars and semitrailers; 

sample coolers and heat 

exchangers; and sampling solutions for 

water, steam, gases, liquids and slurries.

Virto/Elcan is the leader in specialized 

screening technologies. As the exclusive 

American agents for Virto Group of Italy 

and Minox Seibtchnik of Offenbach, 

Germany, we specialize in finding 

solutions for our customers. We use our 

advanced screening systems along with a 

highly qualified technical staff. In 

addition to the qualification lab, 

Virto/Elcan also offers full toll processing 

services. Customers can make extended 

runs of products to insure successful 

installations or run larger quantities to use 

as sample lots or boost their production. 

We specialize in the “difficult to screen” 

products but can also excel in easier 

products that are not screening at optimal 

efficiencies or throughputs. 


Virto/Elcan’s Screen X rectangular 

machines are being implemented into the 

aggregate and mining industry. 

Virto/Elcan offers unparallel levels of 

screening capabilities that provide excellent 

efficiencies on even the hardest to screen 

chemicals, pharmaceuticals, foods, plastics 

and minerals. We excel at metal powders 

and fine glass frits as well as slurries. 

Facilities 

Full technical, mechanical and 

educational support is available for all of 

North America. Complete laboratory, 

spare parts and replacement screens are 

available from our facility in 

Mamaroneck, NY. We have two 

laboratories and four full production toll 

processing Bays. (Pictured Below) 

Technologies 

Our Virto/Elcan line of screeners 

provides an ultra violent vibration for 

those materials that require increased 

energy. This advanced technology 

originated in Kroosh machines and 

became Virto in the year 2008 when the 

Kroosh ownership group bought the 

Italian screen company Cuccolini and 

formed the Virto Group. This multifrequency 

adapter creates high amplitude 

energy on the screen surface that 

provides significant increases in screen 

performance and cost benefits. 

Virto/Elcan line of Tumbler Screens are 

renowned for their combination of a 

high tech 3D motion and unique antiblinding 

devices ( air knives, brushes, 

ultrasonic and bouncing balls)which 

present materials to the screen surface 

efficiently and keep the mesh open for 

the best possible results. There is a low 

energy transfer on the screen surface and 

this technology uses finesse to provide 

high screen performance and cuts that 

are as high as 98% accurate. 


In addition to our full service laboratories, 

we provide technical field service and 

training. Our laboratories are popular for 

their ability to assist customers in the 

development of better and more efficient 

product lines.

The TURBO-DRYER is a vertical, rotary 

tray dryer that uses an externally heated air 

or inert gas stream to provide the heat for 

drying. The TURBO-DRYER is known 

for delivering a product of the highest 

quality, uniformly and reliably, without the 

need for vacuum. 

Rotoscoop ® Airlock Feeder 

The Rotoscoop Feeder is a self-cleaning 

rotary airlock feeder that excels on wet, 

sticky materials that tend to build-up in a 

standard airlock. A consistent and accurate 

rate of discharge allows for metering into 

vessels that require continuous feeding 

while maintaining a seal. 

Multiple Screw Feeder 

The Multiple Screw Feeder is designed to 

handle a wide variety of wet or dry materials 

uniformly by minimizing feed surges. 

There is also a 

variation called 

the Cake Breaker 

and Feeder that is 

used to break up 

chunks of filter 

press cake while 

feeding or 

conveying. 

Lumpreakers 

Choose between 

the Rotocage ® , 

Double Rotocage ® , or Triskelion ® 

Lumpbreaker for breaking up friable (wet 

or dry) lumps, chunks, or slabs. All designs 

are very gentle handling and energy efficient 

when compared with mills or grinders.

Cut 

Cut Your Cost 9 Ways with 

One Ultra-Economical Conveyor 

installation cost 

Easy conveyor routing 

at any angle (over, under 

or around obstructions, 

through small holes 

in walls or ceilings) 

conforms to process 

layouts, drastically 

cutting installation 

costs, while consuming 

minimal floor space. 

2 

Slash 

initial cost 

Flexicon conveyors 

cost far less than 

drag chain conveyors, 

bucket elevators, 

pneumatic conveying 

systems and other 

conveyors of equivalent 

capacity, both initially 

and in operation. 

3 

Save 

on maintenance 

Rugged inner screw is 

the only moving part 

contacting material 

(no internal bearings) 

yielding ultra-high 

reliability with little 

maintenance cost 

or downtime. 

4 

Use 

less energy 

Low horsepower motors, 

simple gear reducers 

and ultra-efficient 

operation significantly 

cut energy cost per 

volume of material 

conveyed. 

5 

Convey 

at multiple 

locations 

Available mounted 

on mobile bases 

with casters, Flexicon 

conveyors with hoppers, 

dust collectors and other 

accessories can operate 

at multiple locations, 

eliminating the need 

for dedicated conveyors. 

6 

Save 

on sanitary 

construction 

Other conveyors 

can command 

high premiums for 

food, 3-A dairy and 

pharmaceutical models, 

but Flexicon conveyors 

can meet sanitary 

requirements at 

comparatively low cost. 

7 

End 

costly 

contamination 

Enclosed tube prevents 

dust and spillage, 

eliminating cost and 

quality concerns 

associated with 

contamination of 

your product and 

plant environment. 

See why thousands 

of engineers like you 

have purchased more 

Flexicon conveyors 

than all competitive 

designs combined. 

8 

Reduce 

cleaning costs 

Removable end cap 

allows reversing of 

screw for evacuation 

of material, in-place 

flushing of crevicefree 

interior, or quick 

removal of screw for 

sanitizing—all with 

minimal labor or 

downtime. 

9 

Convey 

disparate 

materials 

Handle sub-micron 

powders to large pellets 

including non-free-flowing 

products that pack, 

cake, seize, fluidize, 

abrade or smear, with 

no separation of blends, 

often eliminating the 

need for multiple units.
