Part II System without Dust

Part I

Challenge

The customer planned to construct a new storage and load-out system for sawdust and ground pallets at his recycling facility. But while gathering quotes, he learned that the pneumatic conveyance system he’d specified to blow the materials from the bag house to the chip bin would require 60hp to operate, which would result in high energy costs.

Part I

Challenge

The customer planned to construct a new storage and load-out system for sawdust and ground pallets at his recycling facility. But while gathering quotes, he learned that the pneumatic conveyance system he’d specified to blow the materials from the bag house to the chip bin would require 60hp to operate, which would result in high energy costs.

Solution

BE&E supplied a drag conveyor that could elevate material from the bag house to the chip bin with a 2-horsepower motor. (Upon installment, the conveyor was equipped with a 3-horsepower motor to provide an adequate safety factor.) BE&E also supplied conveyors to transport ground pallets from a grinder to the baghouse, a trailer-loading station for live-loading material, and a distribution conveyor atop the chip bin.

Result

The SMART Conveyor™ from BE&E will have saved the customer more than $55,000 in electric costs over a 15-year period vs. the pneumatic system, assuming an average 2019 U.S. industrial electric rate. The customer also reported the conveyors had “worked perfectly” during their first year of service.

Due to the low operational costs of BE&E’s conveyors, the customer later purchased additional SMART Conveyors™ to replace a leaky pneumatic system that transported sawdust to a nearby silo.

Challenge

A leaky pneumatic conveyance system at the Challenger Pallet & Supply facility covered the grounds with sawdust.

Part II

Challenge

A leaky pneumatic conveyance system at the customer’s facility covered the grounds with sawdust.

Solution

BE&E replaced the customer’s pneumatic system using the SMART Conveyor™ on the customer’s trailer-loading station and two, new drag chain conveyors.

Result

The SMART Conveyors™ from BE&E effectively contained dust, resulting in a cleaner facility, and further lowered the customer’s power consumption.The SMART Conveyors™ from BE&E effectively contained dust, resulting in a cleaner facility, and further lowered the customer’s power consumption.
