Lime metering
Custom made installation
Use Tomal´s know-how and long experience with engineering and
manufacturing of custom made lime metering installations.
Tomal delivers complete installations for both indoor and outdoor use.
Including silos, dust filters, arch breaking devices, shut-off valves, multi-
screw feeders, screw conveyors, mixing tanks, electrical cabinets, dos-
ing pumps, pneumatic conveying system etc.
The chemical will then keep a constant bulk density which gives a high accuracy
without any interruption.
There is no, or very seldom, need for an arch breaking device. And if needed, as an
extra safetly, it is only running when the empty level indicator in the feeder gives a
signal.
There is not normally a need for a weighing hopper as the accuracy is very high.

Multiscrew feeder
The unique Tomal multiscrew feeder is always included with at least 2 cooperating
feeder screews. This large active area results in a safe and reliable silo discharge at the
same time as it provides a very high metering accuracy.

Lime metering
Flow diagram and basic function
Typical flow diagram for storage, metering, mixing and transfer of final lime slurry.
A dust filter on top of the silo is in operation during filling, to evacuate the conveying air.
In addition, security pressure relief valves are included.
If the silo is empty or bridging has occured, an arch/empty indicator mounted at the inlet of the feeder, gives a signal to the arch
breaking system, to run until the arch is broken.
Preparation cycle:
The metering of lime from the multiscrew feeder and adding of preparation water starts at low level in the preparation tank.
The screw conveyor runs at the same time as the feeder.
When the high level in the tank is reached, the feeder, screw conveyor and water stops. If an outlet butterfly valve is included it is
closed to prevent moisture reaching the screw conveyor outlet.
The agitator in the mixing tank provides a homogenious slurry and to prevent sedimentation.
A dust arrestor with spray nozzles, cleans the evacuated air from lime dust.
The dosing pump is continuously running, including a frequency inverter in the electrical cabinet.
Clean flush water is added at a set sequence to prevent sedimentatin in the pipe.
If a dosing tank is included, a transfer pump transport the lime slurry from the preparation tank..
