storage silos and dry powder handling
|
Introduction
WEARCO NSW has extensive experience in bulk
materials handling. 
While the majority of our projects have been on Lime (either
Hydrate or Quicklime) a variety of other powdered materials
have been handled including Cement, Sugar, Ferro Silica,
Precipitator Dust, Flour, Grain, Manganese Dioxide, Fly Ash
and Electric Arc Furnace Dust. WEARCO offer a complete
materials management system from receipt of dry product
into storage silo to withdrawal on demand and metering into
the required process. Each system is individually engineered
to handle the requirements of the particular material.

The low head room design offers savings in silo construction
and compact plant layout. Activators from 900mm to 3500mm
cover all difficult to handle materials and may be easily
retro-fitted to existing plant. Their use with downstream
metering and feeding equipment for either batch or
continuous processing results in low maintenance, dust tight
and reliable materials handling.
Custom built bucket elevators suit many applications, from
abrasive to free flowing materials, using either belt or
chain systems. WEARCO bucket elevators are made of a
simple heavy duty, state-of-the-art design to provide a
strong, reliable and easy-to-operate machine with standard
modular casing sections for quick and cost effective
maintenance.
Bucket options range from pressed mild or stainless steel to
HDP plastic, with different design geometry to suit the type
of discharge required.
Drive systems range from shaft mounted to foot mounted.

Vibro Conveyors, Micro Hoppers
WEARCO are designers and manufacturers of custom
vibratory conveyors. Each unit is designed to be almost
noiseless in operation and give dust tight conveying. Single
units can convey up to 7.5m long with greater distance from
multiple units or counter mass configurations. With low power
draw and no internal moving parts, the “Microhoppa” conveyor
provides excellent transportation of dusty, abrasive or high
temperature materials.

WEARCO screw conveyors and feeders are individually
designed to robust mining specifications which provide
reliable and efficient operation whilst retaining the
strength to withstand arduous duties. The unique standard
design incorporates outboard bearings and heavy duty gland
seals to ensure no leakage or contamination and provide a
reliable delivery of material.
The casing construction is simple, compact and can be
supplied with trough or tubular design, in mild, stainless
or special steel. Drive systems can be supplied foot mounted
using chain or belt drive, or direct shaft mounted, with
either fixed or variable speed.

WEARCO have designed and
supplied several medium to heavy duty conveyors and hopper
feed out systems. A computerised design performance program
and assistance from Certified Design Engineers ensures we
manufacture a system to suit the application nominated first
time, every time.
Examples of feeder hopper assemblies are shown here with
a bulk loader hopper complete with grizzly screen deck
positioned above.
Additionally special purpose feeder hoppers can be designed
and manufactured to suit the needs of our clients. The following hopper assembly was
designed as a Bulka Bag breaking and receival hopper. The Bulk
Material storage Bulka Bags are dropped onto a breaking spike
with a fork lift and material is immediately released
quickly and in safe condition for operators.
