Powder and Bulk Engineering is a monthly, controlled-circulation trade magazine in print since 1987. PBE provides practical, hands-on information readers can use on the job when processing and handling dry bulk solids. These include materials such as food ingredients, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, pigments, minerals, metals, plastics, paper, stone, clay, and glass.
In-depth features and technical articles focus on processes and equipment used in handling, processing, and storing these materials. Articles provide troubleshooting tips, equipment selection guidelines, techniques for streamlining a process or handling difficult materials, case histories showing how one company solved its processing problem, and other practical information.
Whether you're troubleshooting, maintaining, retrofitting, or streamlining operations, PBE has valuable information. PBE is offered in either digital or printed format to North American subscribers and in digital format to international subscribers.

Services
Project engineers are often asked to select vendors and work with them to install new equipment.
These projects can have a long-lasting impact on the success of the company and the engineer's career.
This two-part article describes how to successfully work with an equipment vendor.
Part I of this article, which appeared in the June issue of PBE, provided suggestions, along with dos and don'ts, to help make choosing and working with a vendor successful.
Part II explains the necessary project services that go along with building your system and describes how to choose a vendor.

We plan to install a new hammermill at our production facility, and we need to be mindful of the bottom line.
How can the proper hammermill selection reduce future maintenance expenses?
We plan to install an air quality control system at our plant.
How can we design the system to safely handle combustible dusts and mitigate the risk of a dust explosion?
How does an iris valve work for dry bulk handling, and is an iris valve right for my application?
What are the different types of wear in pneumatic conveying elbows, and how can we solve them?

Our company has used bag- and cartridge-type dust collectors for years, but they're no longer doing the job we need effectively.
Is there an alternative you could recommend?
We're having trouble with our dust collector that separates milled material from our pneumatic conveying airflow.
We've needed to replace the filters every 4 to 8 weeks, and the material doesn't reliably discharge from the dust collector.
Do you have any suggestions to help us?
Our new batch uses the same composition and is supposed to match our first batch, but the onset of bubbling when the material is fluidized occurs at higher superficial gas (or air) velocities than with the previous batch.

Acrison's Model 105 Series of Volumetric Feeders for dry solids feature a unique, dissimilar speed, double concentric auger metering mechanism designed to accurately and reliably meter a wide variety of dry solid materials.
The metering mechanism consists of a large 'conditioning auger' or Intromitter, concentrically mounted around a smaller, slower rotating 'metering auger', operating at dissimilar speeds in a fixed proportion to each other by a single variable speed gearmotor.
Volumetric Feeder has dual conditioning augers/agitators, which are independently driven, and also includes two separate, independently driven metering augers.
