Solution Overview
Containment of Hazardous Materials:
Many of the dry ingredients handled are lead products or other toxic materials. Great emphasis was placed
on storing, conveying and discharging these sensitive materials, ensuring that no dust was leaked from the
system into the plant atmosphere. All rotary valves feeding transfer systems are vented to their source
collectors. All systems conveying to scales return to their source point, providing closed-loop system
integrity. As an additional safety measure, dust collectors are provided with a negative fan and inline
secondary safety filter at the clean air outlet. Air relief vents on scales used during discharge are
automatically sealed during the scale fill cycle.
Incorporation of Existing Process Equipment: Shick provided increased
plant capacity and enhanced flexibility by interfacing the new reactor system, expanded storage and
packaging with the customer's existing process equipment. Utilizing process experience, Shick was able to
incorporate the existing equipment with the new system while maintaining production, thereby providing the
customer with substantial cost savings.
