Plant
Systems
Since Rospen Industries formation in 1980 they have become the
UK’s leading weighing and metering specialist for powder,
particulates, granules, flakes, crisps and many more brand specialised
food snacks.
In that time, working with global, blue chip companies has led
Rospen to develop a wider materials handling capability in a broad
spectrum of industries, which has seen the introduction of pneumatic
conveying systems, flexible
screw conveyors and bulk
bag dischargers to sit along side their traditional portfolio
of metering screw feeders,
loss in weight feeding
and continuous weighers.
As a result of the increased expertise in the broader field of
powder and bulk materials handling Rospen continue to design and
supply a variety of smaller plant systems such as:
-
Multi Ingredient batching and weigh system transferring
product into a series of mobile Tote Bins. This was for a global
supplier of herbs and spices and necessitated a plc control
system, designed and manufactured by Rospen, to be fully integrated
into the site central computer.
-
 Reclamation
of precious metals supplied in a chopped form. With the raw
product and 3 additives supplied in bulk bags the Rospen designed
system consists of a loss in weight feed system to an IBC for
the chopped, precious metal laden flakes and a combination of
screw feeders and a vibratory tray feeder to transfer the additives.
By using a gain in weight system the small amount of additives
including iron and carbon are added to the process IBC. The
IBC is then transferred to a blender and finally to a loss in
weight discharge station where, through a series of hoppers,
the contents are metered onto a split discharge vibratory
tray feeder and into the furnace. Apart from linking
the system control function into the client’s main plant
control system, Rospen also designed, manufactured and installed
the 4 point, dust pick up extraction unit.
With the integration of Rospen Industries own powder handling
and process plant expertise now fully linked to the design and
manufacturing capability of parent company Mass
Measuring Ltd, all the facets of process plant design
for the handling of powders, granules, flakes, pellets, tablets,
pharmaceutical products and snack foods is available from one
source, Rospen Industries – Mass Measuring Ltd.
