Bulk Bag Unloaders Use RFID to Automate Batching and Weighing Process

Bulk bag unloaders are typically not the first things to come to mind when the topic of radio frequency identification (RFID) is considered. Most commonly associated with warehouse management, RFID has found increased favor in other industries due the reduced costs for the required equipment and tags, and its improved reliability (now near 99.9%). Industries [...]

Bulk Bag Unloader with Explosion Protection Design Controls Combustible Dusts; Polycarbonate Enclosure Protects Process Area

Perhaps one the most significant factors contributing to the danger of combustible dust in the workplace is what goes unknown to production and maintenance staff. Consider this, the U.S. Chemical Safety Hazard Board (CSB), in reviewing the MSDSs of 140 substances known to produce combustible dusts, found that 59% of the MSDSs did not state [...]
