In addition to animal bedding, landscaping mulch and wood flour used by other manufacturers for wood-plastic composites, Fiber By-Products produces 52,000 tons (47,174 metric tons) of premium pelletized fuel annually. This yield can be used to heat more than 15,000 homes at a lower cost than natural gas or oil and with a smaller carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"margin-top: 25px;\">PROCESSING REQUIRES A DELICATE TOUCH<\/h5>\n<p>Pellet mills receive, sort, grind, dry, compress, screen and bag wood waste into conveniently handled pelletized fuel. All pellet mills must meet industry standards to assure uniformity in the final product. These standards include density, dimensions and allowable fines (limited amount of sawdust from pellet breakdown to avoid dust while loading and problems with pellet flow when in a pellet stove). Operations with too many fines must continually reprocess pellets, which adds cost and decreases productivity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt takes a lot of time, money and effort to compress sawdust into pellets,\u201d said Cory Schrock, Fiber By-Products Plant Manager. \u201cAnd once you\u2019ve made a pellet, you don\u2019t want your conveyor to break it back up again because you\u2019ll have to start all over.\u201d<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"margin-top: 25px;\">NEW PLANT, SAME TECHNOLOGY<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: left; padding-right: 15px; padding-top: 5px;\" title=\"Tubular Drag Conveyor Installation | Hapman.com\" src=\"https:\/\/hapman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Fiber-By-Products-TDC.jpg\" alt=\"Tubular Drag Conveyor Installation | Hapman.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" \/>When Fiber By-Products moved to its current location in White Pigeon, Mich. in 2006, its wood pellet line utilized them industry-standard rubber belt conveyors to convey the finished product. While the conveyors were effective at moving the pellets, they were also prone to creating fines, dust and spilling product. The conveyor from the exterior storage tower to the interior packaging line was particularly problematic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were losing about 80 pounds (36.28 kg) of product per week, which requires time to clean up and is expensive to reprocess,\u201d noted Schrock.<\/p>\n<p>But the greatest issue facing Fiber By-Products was reliability and cost of maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe operate 24\/6 with Sundays off,\u201d said Schrock. \u201cEvery Monday we would have guys out working on the rubber belt conveyor trying to get it to start up smoothly in the winter. There were several times when we would have a truck waiting to be loaded because the conveyor wasn\u2019t operational.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we were going through costly belts annually. Before having to purchase a third belt, we started looking for a conveyor that was more rugged and reliable yet gentle at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"margin-top: 25px;\">AT OPPOSITES: RUGGED YET GENTLE<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right; padding-left: 15px;\" title=\"Tubular Drag Conveyor Illustration | Hapman.com\" src=\"https:\/\/hapman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Fiber-By-Products-TDC2.jpg\" alt=\"Tubular Drag Conveyor Illustration | Hapman.com\" width=\"350\" height=\"240\" \/>Once Fiber By-Products started looking for a new solution to their conveying problem, it didn\u2019t take long to discover Hapman\u2019s tubular drag conveyor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe weren\u2019t sure a conveyor that was extremely rugged yet operated in a manner that didn\u2019t create more fines was possible,\u201d said Schrock. \u201cWhen we saw the industrial casing and chain of Hapman\u2019s tubular drag conveyor and understood how it moved the product, we knew it was our solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since its installation in 2009, the 40 ft (12.2 m) tubular drag conveyor has eliminated the maintenance, product loss and dusting issues that were standard with the original rubber belt conveyor. The chain-driven flights of the conveyor have not increased fines that would otherwise require reprocessing of the pellets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really done everything they said it would,\u201d said Schrock. \u201cWe now wish we had known about Hapman\u2019s tubular drag conveyor when we designed this plant. We can come in on the coldest Monday after the plant has been down in the winter and turn it on without issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the fully enclosed system has reduced dust that had escaped from the former conveyor as it entered the packaging area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are always looking for ways to ensure safety at our plant due to the dust from mill operation,\u201d noted Schrock. \u201cThe tubular drag conveyor confines the material to the process and eliminates dust.\u201d<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"margin-top: 25px;\">ADDITIONAL REPLACEMENTS IN THE FUTURE<\/h5>\n<p>Fiber By-Products is so delighted with Hapman and its tubular drag conveyor that it is now looking into replacing a rubber belt conveyor from its three pellet mills to the cooler. A third and final opportunity to replace a rubber belt conveyor would move the pellets from the cooler to storage silo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s definitely a return on investment to Hapman\u2019s tubular drag system,\u201d Schrock noted. \u201cIt makes financial sense to look at other ways we can use it in our process.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download PDF A4 CHALLENGE A pelletized fuel manufactuer was spending time and effort maintaining a conveyor that also created fines and dust.
