AZO CleanDock®  Clean docked
AZO CleanDock®
Clean docked AZO CleanDock® is a system for docking containers at upstream dosing units. Apart from dust-free transfer between dosing units and mobile containers and decoupling from scales, it provides further functions. This contrasts with the situation when mobile containers are used. The use of this type of system means that there are transfer points between dosing units and the relevant bulk materials container. These transfer points have to satisfy several requirements simultaneously: First, the target receptacle needs to have a cover lid that prevents foreign matter from getting into the inside of the container during storage time. Residual quantities, which typically stick to the outlet of the dosing unit after dosing operations, should be prevented from falling into the plant. Use of special docking systems rules out potential contamination of the plant. A sealed connection between the dosing units and the target receptacle while it is docked is critical to avoid dust

Filling of small containers with integrated weighing device
Filling of small containers with integrated weighing device
AZO has been supplying automatic systems for mixer feeding for decades. There is already a plethora of solutions for this. The goal of developments in the field of filling and packaging was to offer a flexible system for producers of speciality products in small to medium batch sizes. Especially at a time when batches of products are becoming ever smaller, fast and straightforward retooling from one receptacle to another is called for in plants. The modular station exhibited at Powtech by AZO allows gravimetric filling of products in small to medium-size batches. The focus here is on easy cleaning, a high level of versatility and fast retooling to accommodate different small containers like tubs, drums, boxes with inliners, bags and sacks. The base station can be supplemented with a DA-type cyclone screener, which may be used simultaneously for dosing, and/or with metal detectors for final inspection of the product.

NEW: Modular big bag discharge station Cost-effective and versatile
NEW: Modular big bag discharge station
Cost-effective and versatile Flexible bulk materials receptacles such as big bags have become firmly established for handling powders in a variety of branches. They have clear advantages over sacks when it comes to transporting and storing bulk materials. They are environmentally friendly, require less operating staff and storage space and reduce costs for transport and processes. AZO big bag discharge stations make it possible to discharge big bags without generating excess dust and to feed products reliably into the closed production plant. To improve efficiency and reduce costs even further, AZO has developed a modular concept for a big bag discharge station. The required components such as frame, support beams, chain hoist, discharging aids, big bag docking system, buffer bin and discharging unit can be chosen from a “construction set”, depending on the requirements. The entire discharge station can be configured to suit needs without outlay for design, which has a very positive effect

Dry cleaning of containers – a clean solution
Dry cleaning – environmentally friendly and effective The ingenious design makes it possible to automatically clean containers that have been contaminated inside with product residue and dust. Thanks to the umbrella-like mechanism, it is also possible to clean containers with small inlet apertures, as the cleaning unit only unfolds once it is inside the container. The design can thus be adapted to virtually any geometric shape of rotationally symmetrical hoppers. Water is frequently used for cleaning containers. This necessitates expensive washing chambers and drier units, which need to be installed in separate parts of the building. Therefore, wet cleaning results in the containers being out of production for a longer time in order to carry out the cleaning and subsequent drying processes. In most cases, however, dry cleaning the containers is totally sufficient to remove any product residue reliably. This type of cleaning provides quite a few advantages if contrasted with wet cleaning. Since no water is used, the station

Big bag discharge systems all-purpose connection system for more flexibility
Big bag discharge systems
all-purpose connection system for more flexibility AZO’s time-tested big bag connection system has acquired some additional, very practical new features specifically for this application. Independent connection systems have been developed to meet the special requirements in the sector of big bag handling. The big bag discharge system with vacuum docking ensures a dust-tight connection for big bags and reliable discharge of free-flowing bulk solids. It is therefore especially suitable for big bags that have no discharge spout or only a very short one. It is possible to discharge the entire contents of one big bag into the next hopper within a short time. The advantages of the system: • no dependence on suppliers of raw materials • for universal use • simple construction makes it easy to clean • saves height and space • high-grade chromium-nickel steel design The big bag being discharged is lifted with hoisting gear and lowered onto the big bag discharge station until it comes into contact
