Carbon black weigh hopper.


The patented Flex Wall weigh hopper and pinch valve Pinch valve is a full bore type of control valve. No obstruction to flow passage. Major components of a pinch valve consists of body and a sleeve. The sleeve will contain the flow media and isolate it from the environment hence reducing contamination to the environment.  combination is said to be an efficient and virtually maintenance-free way to deliver carbon black into a mixer. The Flex Wall hopper is constructed of a skeletal steel frame that supports a Hypalon liner. The carbon black has virtually no affinity for the Hypalon liner and therefore does not adhere to adhere to

 chute on the mixer. Two rollers on the valve close and pinch off the flow of material in the sleeve at an elevation that is actually below the bottom opening in the hopper. When the material is ready to be discharged, the rollers open and the head of material drops, emptying the hopper quickly and completely. Discharge times for a 500 lb. charge of carbon black can be as little as 30 seconds.
