The main NTE Process applications dedicated to the plastic, rubber and tire industries are the following:
- storage systemsof raw materials;
- powder dense phase pneumatic conveying systems“No Purge” concept with the patented Air Assist® technology (carbon black, silica, talc, small chemicals, additives, etc) to hoppers;
- accurate batching for powder and oil dosingfor the exact preparation of the recipes;
- dust collectors;
- precision rubber cuttinglines;
- railcar and truck unloadingthrough the NTE Process Boot-Lift M529 that considerably reduces risks for operators during connection phase since it is completely automated and driven by pneumatic cylinders with variable stroke according to customer requests.;
- automation and control systems.
Both vacuum and dense phase conveying systems provided by NTE Process proved to be the best technologies as raw material handling systems for the main tire manufacturers as it guarantees:
- to protect the integrity of the carbon black pellets during the pneumatic conveying (fines increasing <5%);
- to preserve the conveying pipes from premature wear in the case of pneumatic conveying with Air Assist® technology for silica conveying (fine, granular, silica chunk);
- dust free management of bag dump and big bag unloading stations for carbon black, silica, zync oxide, resins and fillers.
