Dear all

 

I want to loading about 14 ton of CMS (Carbon Molecular Sieve) into a PSA Nitrogen Producer tank.
The tank is 5 meter tall with 2 m in diameter.
What is the best, simplest and fastest method to load the pellet of CMS into that big tank?
 
I consider this mortar screw pump and connect it to a long / extended hose to reach the top of the tank.
 
 
Within removing the agitator inside the hopper and used VFD/VSD to slow down the motor speed of Screw or Pump mechanism, will the screw still crunch or crush the CMS pellet?
 
Sorry for my English.
 
Best Regards

One usually loads material with a sock. You should consult your supplier.

how you got the pellets? barrels or sacks? why not simple exercise of manual loading; rig to lift the barrel or sack and fill from the top man-hole! using a cloth chute and pull the chute as the bed height increases?; we have done molecular sieve filling from barrels into a larger dryers (twin dryers in fact) just in 12 hours overnight!
