Polymer Storage and Transfer System at Kemsley Mill

The project

Design, supply, installation and commissioning of polymer storage and transfer system at Kemsley Mill

Load Cell Polymer
Make-up System

A high specification stainless steel system for a large paper mill where accuracy of makeup concentration is critical.

The Load Cell makeup unit comprises a weigh hopper that is filled above the batch weight and the polymer is weighed out into the transfer system to the JetWet™ head. This ensures batch accuracy and certainty.

Specification

40 tonne polymer powder storage silo of 304L stainless steel
Skirted housing mounted on 4 load cells
Dehumidifier unit
Silo roof fitted with hand-railing and kick-plates
‘Loss in weight’ hopper delivery system mounted on 4 load cells
Primary weigh screwfeeder
Individual hopper arrangement to be installed into the silo skirt prior to delivery to site
Dosing pumps with complete integrated manifold
Control equipment

The equipment was built into a silo for outdoor installation,
with the tanks and pumps located inside the adjacent building.
