The Problem
Often, with ingredients that are fine powders blended with large spherical granules, any movement or disturbance causes the spheres to float to the top of the batch or segregate. This causes lower yields to do segregation when transitioning from container to container or to tablet presses.

The Solution
The EZ-Down anti-segregation powder system prevents product segregation by eliminating product free-fall. This device has a bladder that inflates to pinch off a flexible downspout running between an IBC outlet and either a piece of process equipment or another container inlet. Once the IBC valve is opened the bladder is deflated at a controlled rate allowing the weight of the product to push downward through the flexible downspout in a uniform "slug".

Type 1: Compression Feed
This is the most common application for our EZ-Down System that eliminates free-fall induced segregation caused by through-floor product transfer into a tablet press, encapsulator or packaging equipment. Type 1 EZ-Downs are available both single inlet and double inlet tablet press applications.

Type 2: Container Filling
The second application eliminates free-fall induced segregation commonly encountered when filling a container such as an IBC, drum or hopper. This application utilizes one of our Column Lifts to elevate the container as part of the operation sequence. The EZ-Down first controls the material during the transfer between production floors and the Column Lift works in conjunction with the EZ-Down to eliminate the free-fall in the filling process.
