INEOUS FLUOR SELECTS AJAX EQUIPMENT FORHYDROFLUROCARBON PLANT CONTRACT
Solids handling and processing equipment specialist, Ajax Equipment is supplying a screw feeder, screw conveyor and associated plant to INEOS Fluor's hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) production facility.

Over 6 metres in length, the inclined 350mm screw feeder is designed to transfer lime to a slaker reaction vessel, and a second reaction vessel via an Ajax screw conveyor. The feeder includes a specially designed screw auger enabling the smooth transfer of lime to either an intermediate outlet half way along the screw feeder or to the outlet at the end of the feeder. The screw feeder is flighted so that carry over is prevented when the intermediate valve is opened.

The intermediate outlet allows lime to be dropped into the size 400mm screw conveyor supplying the second reaction vessel. Ajax has designed the outlet with a closely fitting slide valve with expanding sides to facilitate self cleaning. This ensures any material in the valve is free to drop into the conveyor when the valve is opened, preventing hold-up's blockages that would affect the reliability and consistent performance of the unit.

"Ajax is a local supplier that we trust. Having worked with them in the past we are confident that they meet the high standard that we require if we are to successfully commission this project in time to meet our customers expectations", commented Justin O'Doherty, Manufacturing Manager INEOS Fluor.
