Young Industries “Patent Pending” PowderFlow Butterfly Valve utilizes a TransFlow® disc to condition and fluidize the powders handled. The TransFlow® disc uses low volume 3-5 PSIG of compressed air to fluidize and condition powders. The compressed air is delivered to the disc through the disc shaft.
The problems in the handling of titanium dioxide are well known, either by its bad reputation or by experience. TiO2’s small particle size, cohesiveness, and irregular shapes make it stick everywhere. Also, the better grades of pigment are harder to handle.
A standard holding hopper will cause titanium dioxide powder to bridge and not discharge. Hammer Rash is the result of trying to make Ti02 flow.
