Hopper

Robust equipment with easy maintenance access, precise dosing, and continuous operation. Designed to prevent the formation of empty galleries (caverns/tunnels).

The hopper is an equipment designed for receiving, storing, and subsequently discharging/dosing various types of biomass into the moving system. It operates continuously and is adjustable to the industrial flow feeding process.

This equipment can be installed underground, at level 0 (pit), for feeding by tipping trucks and moving floor. It can also be installed above ground level for feeding by loader.


Screw Hopper

In the screw hopper, the material is moved by helical blades.

From 1 to 6 screws can be installed for transport, with the sizing varying according to several factors, typically associated with the type of biomass to be conveyed.

Special materials may be applied to its construction to increase its lifespan, such as screws made of Hardox or Stainless Steel, or even mig welding hardfacing on the screw's surfaces that come into contact with the biomass.

Drag Slat Hopper

Unlike other hoppers, the biomass conveyment in this model is carried out by slats, and it's designed to move materials with greater resistance to flow, such as sugarcane bagasse. This is the uniqueness of this equipment compared with other hopper models.

Special materials are applied in its construction to increase its lifespan, such as internal walls lined up with stainless steel sheets, chain's displacement tracks made of Hardox, and the external structure reinforced with beams. In addition, it is designed so that the chains are isolated in a chamber, preventing direct contact with the biomass. These details and design features ensure the robustness and durability of the equipment.

Drag Chain Hopper

The biomass movement is carried out by drag chains, which allows the displacement of larger particle materials, such as briquettes, for example, that are not tolerated in screw hoppers.

From 2 to 5 chains can be installed to carry out the transportation, with this amount varying by several factors, usually associated with the type of biomass to be transported and the desired storage capacity.

The greatest advantage of this model is that, if it is necessary to replace a set of chains for maintenance, the equipment can continue operating without interruption. In addition, the transportation speed can be adjusted by the frequency inverter so that the equipment reaches the designed nominal flow rate.

Hopper Accessories

Vibrating Grid

The vibrating grid uses motovibrators to facilitate the discharge of materials with difficult flow. Designed to prevent access to the machine's dangerous zone, this accessory was built in accordance with the requirement of the Brazilian Regulatory Standard NR12 - Occupational Safety in Machinery and Equipment.

For safety reasons, Dujua adopts the concept of fixed physical protection to ensure the health and physical integrity of its workers. In addition, this equipment is designed to prevent larger particles, such as stones and foreign materials, from entering the hopper and damaging it. It was developed based on the Brazilian Regulation NBR NM-ISO 13853 Machinery Safety - Safe distances to prevent access to danger zones by the lower limbs - constantly updated in accordance with current official technical standards and applicable international standards.

Automatic Cover

The automatic hopper cover is an accessory designed to prevent access to the machine's dangerous area when there is no incoming biomass, meeting the requirements of the Brazilian Regulatory Standard NR12 - Occupational Safety in Machinery and Equipment.

It is activated by a pneumatic system, which opens the cover to allow the unloading of fuel (biomass) into the hopper. The discharging area is properly market and during the unloading process, audible and visual warnings are emitted, all following safety guidelines and procedures in accordance with current official technical or applicable international standards to ensure the health and physical integrity of the workers.

In addition to its main function of providing safety, the cover also protects the biomass from the weather, such as rain, which can increase the moisture content of the biomass stored in the receiving hopper.

Fixed Cover

The fixed cover is an accessory developed to protect the biomass from the weather, which can increase the moisture content of the biomass stored in the receiving hopper, or spread the biomass, and messing up the place.

Its installation is usually associated with the vibrating grid to ensure that the equipment is in compliance with Brazilian Regulatory Standard NR12 - Occupational Safety in Machinery and Equipment.

Enclosed Cover

The enclosed cover represents an advance over the other covers mentioned above. In addition to offering protection against bad weather and ensuring compliance with current safety standards, the enclosed environment allows the installation of a dust removal system.

This system is equipped with overhead doors or curtains made of flexible material, which close automatically during the unloading of biomass. Inside of it, there is a system installed for capturing suspended dust generated during the biomass unloading process. The captured dust is then transported to an external bag filter, which redirects the biomass back to the transport line, keeping the environment clean and free of suspended particulate matter.

Receiving and Unitizing Table

Robust equipment with easy maintenance access, designed for continuous and constant operation.

The receiving and unitizing table is an equipment developed to receive and store logs from a horizontal conveyor table, fixed crane, mobile crane, loader, among others.

The logs are moved by drag chains, which move the logs gradually to the impact/chipping conveyor, unitizing the logs to ensure uniform and continuous feeding in the chipping line.
