Dry bulk material processing for the asphalt industry.

The manufacture of cement combines a variety of raw ingredients such as limestone, clay or shale. These raw materials are extracted from the quarry crushed to a very fine powder and then blended in the correct proportions. The resulting raw mix is fed into a cement kiln which heats them to extremely high temperatures of about 1400 C to 1500 C. The abrasiveness of the material is a major factor on the wear of equipment and the extreme high temperatures of the process require specialized equipment.

Over the years, plastics have become the most dominant engineering material for most products.  All plastics are polymers; these polymers are further divided into two basic types: thermoplastics and thermosets. Extrusion can be used for thermoplastics. The raw material is in the form of pellets, granules, or powder. Meyer rotary valves are designed and engineered for dependable and reliable performance. The precision-engineered housing and rotor prevent material from getting jammed or sheared.

During the production, the conveyance and the filling of solid particles in the form of powders, bulk materials, granulates, pellets and many other shapes, dust is generated as a rule. This dust formation can lead to an impairment of the operational safety and the reliability of the production process, e. g. by means of inhalable dust fractions. The workplace hygiene can also be endangered, e. g. through dust accumulations.
