📋 Real Project Case

Corn Ethanol Plant Auger Plugging Mitigation

Midwest U.S. ethanol facility processing 120,000 bpd corn

Challenge: Frequent auger plugging at transition hoppers due to moisture variation and fines accumulation
Vibratory Pad Moisture Sensor Modulated Feed Plugging Zone 65° Fill Ratio Limit: 38% 0.45 × (1 − MC/20) Critical Hopper Angle: 62° = 2×AOR + 10° Corn Ethanol Plant Auger Plugging Mitigation
