Materials Handling
Heavy duty bellow feeder for loading very dusty and abrasive products like cement, fly ash, etc.
Modular construction: Makes the replacement of modules quick and easy. Over lapping Internal guide cones gives better separation of material and exhaust air.
Can be supplied in mild steel or stainless steel. External connection rings in stainless steel c/w heavy duty wire guides in nylon.
Motor winch: The motor frame is reliable and easy to service/maintain with external 3 point wiring c/w indication of tight and slack wire.
Options
- T-Outlet: For loading in tanker truck. Can be supplied with rubber covering on the outer surface.
- F-Outlet: Complete with dust skirt for open loading.
- TF-Outlet: Combination of T and F outlet. Can be equipped with electrical raising and lowering of skirt.
- Hand winch: Inlet or wall mounted types available.
- Vibrator: Operated at the end of the loading cycle prior to raising the bellow.
- Electrical Equipment: Wide range of electrical controls, indicators in outlet etc...
- Disperser: Spreads the material for maximum utilization, when loading in tanker trucks.
- Closing Cone (mechanical): For T-Outlet. Automatically blocks the outlet when the bellow feeder is not being used.
- Closing Cone (electrical): Is applied combined with the TF-Outlet.
A complete solution with built-in filter bags and fan. The cleaning of filters takes place automatically by means of compressed air from the air receiver. The dust from the filter will hereby follow the material during loading.
Applied for loading products with moderate wear and dust characteristics. The filter module is retractable and therefore only requires a minimal increase in build-in height. Other construction like type S.

Golconda can undertake complete handling systems when required. The photographs show just such a system supplied and installed by Golconda to produce pesticide products.
The system includes raw materials intake, grinding and conveying, batch mixing, extruding and cooling, as well as the 25kg packing and palletising system manufactured by Concetti. A separate conveying system delivers product to the retail pack filling and packaging plant.
Golconda has the capability to engineer bespoke materials handling systems or to modify existing plants to improve output, productivity or simply to meet changing market demands. Our long experience allows us to select the most appropriate proprietary pieces of equipment or to design specific items where necessary.

Hethon feeders are dosing devices with screw discharge but with a flexible wall hopper to ensure bridging and rat holing of difficult material is eliminated. The flexible walls are massaged by an arrangement of paddles to ensure an uninterrupted flow without any contact with the material itself.
Five models in the range provide a feed rate between 120 and 30,000 litres per hour.
- Model 40 for maximum 120 l/h.
- Model 50 for maximum 480 l/h.
- Model 60 for maximum 1200 l/h.
- Model 70 for maximum 2500 l/h.
- Model 80 for maximum 30000 l/h
The Hethon feeder comes with many options, interchangeable screws to suit different materials, extension hoppers, using different contact parts and with control options including gravimetric metering.
Silos, hoppers and bins commonly experience difficulties with material flow. It is easy to put material into a storage container. It is not always as easy to get it out! Dry, bulk material, when stored in bins, hoppers, silos, or tanks, can lose flow characteristics. That's when typical flow problems occur - bridging, arching, rat holing or material clinging to areas of the hopper and vertical walls.
Materials which tend to pack or cannot easily be brought to a free-flowing state e.g. soda ash, wood chips, rubber scrap, Soya meal, bran, etc. The combination of Hopper Shape and Material Characteristics will determine the Discharge Properties. To help solve these flow problems Golconda sells the Monitor Evasser Flo-Pad.
The single Evasser Flo-Pad is small, compact, yet capable of dislodging and moving hard-to-handle, pack-prone bulk materials in bins and hoppers with ease. It can dislodge with a blast, control with a whisper of air. The Flo-Pad discharges air at up to 80 psi then, maintains flowability with 2 to 5 psi.
Quick, easy outside bin installation makes it an ideal replacement for worn, plugged, malfunctioning air pads. No unloading of bin to get inside. Simply disconnect air supply on existing unit, cut hole right next to the clogged air pad from the outside and secure Flo-Pad with four bolts.
The Monitor Flo-Pad requires no maintenance. It has no moving parts, no filters to clean or replace.
