The Challenge

This manufacturer in the Netherlands has more than 40 years of experience in injection moulding of plastic products.

  • The capacity of the conveying solution to transport the plastic granulates to the silo was too low and affected their business. More capacity was needed.
  • The company had two opportunities. They could build a new conveying line or get the old one upgraded to meet their requirements for a long-term sustainable solution.
The flexibility of the Kongskilde conveying solutions makes it scalable and able to grow with any business

The Solution

  • The use of flexible standard elements with built-in modularity and well-documented technology gives several advantages in terms of the upgrade of the conveying solutions without building new and costly lines.
  • By adding a new TRL 55 blower with RF 20 rotary valve, the capacity was increased from 1.5 tons/hrs. to 6.5 ton/hrs. of granulate material using the current silos and existing piping system for a cost-effective solution.

The Advantages

  • The flexibility of the Kongskilde conveying solutions makes it scalable and able to grow with any business.
  • The modularity proves to be a cost-effective way to upgrade the system by only replacing e.g. the blower and reusing the OK 160 pipes. The new generation of blowers consumes less power due to the frequency converter.
  • The elements can be set up in a few hours, and the pipes mounted on the ceiling liberates floor space.

The Facts

  • TRL 55 blower with RF 20 rotary valve.
  • OK 160 pipelines – before and with the new solution.
  • An RF 20D with standard hopper and hopper extension.
  • The silencer on the inlet of the blower reduces noise.
