Intensive mixing Gebr. Lödige Maschinenbau GmbH is presenting the CoriMix® continuous ring layer mixer at Powtech 2017. The basis of the robust system is the high circumferential speed of the mixing unit, which forces the product into a concentric ring layer. The process demonstrates its true strengths wherever liquids have to be distributed very efficiently at high to very high throughput rates. The use of ring layer mixers is also interesting in many industries in terms of cost-effectiveness and versatility. The mixing unit of a ring layer system rotates with circumferential speeds of up to 40 m/s. As a result, the product components are accelerated through centrifugal force. This causes a ring layer to be formed. Within this concentric layer there are enormous differences in speed between the rapidly rotating mixing tools and the stationary container wall. As a consequence: friction is particularly high in the ring layer profile. The specially shaped tools of the mixing unit

Mixing bulk goods Whether the material you need to process is powdered, granular or fibrous, when it comes to the preparation of bulk materials, FKM series Ploughshare® batch mixers from Gebr. Lödige Maschinenbau GmbH is the perfect equipment. The Paderborn-based mixing experts are presenting the FKM 600D at the POWTECH 2017 show. The machine allows excellent mixing results to be achieved in a very short time - with a high level of batch reproducibility. A low-maintenance mixer concept and easy access to the mixer’s inner parts guarantee maximum availability. The Ploughshare® mixer uses the mechanically generated fluid bed process developed by Lödige. Special mixing tools are arranged systematically on a shaft to achieve a three-dimensional movement of the mixing material. Thanks to this intensive yet gentle product movement, bulk products can be mixed extremely quickly and evenly. Depending on the mixing application, various equipment options are available for the mixers

Easy to assemble thanks to practical hinge technology For 40 years now, IMI Precision Engineering, a world leader in pneumatic motion and fluid control technology, has been offering end users a comprehensive product portfolio for filter technology that is regularly expanded and optimised. The transducer 8349900 recently received a comprehensive redesign; this has resulted in a universally applicable device which is both robust and practical. The revised transducer 8349900 measures the difference in pressure between the dusty gas and clean gas chamber in a filter application, precisely detecting both small and medium differential pressures of air and dry or non-aggressive gases. If a certain value is exceeded, the device sends a signal for cleaning to the filter control. Various measuring ranges are available; these are between 2.5 and 1000 mbar full-scale. Special measuring ranges can also be put into effect. The dustproof polycarbonate housing is compact and very easy to assemble. This is thanks to the use of practical

IMI Precision Engineering provides reliable solutions for extremely cold environments In order to prevent contaminated air from entering the atmosphere unfiltered and therefore polluting the environment, filter units must function reliably, even in the coldest regions of the world. Bitter cold and arctic temperatures place particularly high demands on the units; the quality of their individual components is therefore crucial for their functionality. IMI Precision Engineering, a world leader in pneumatic motion and fluid control technologies, has developed an All-in-one system for such environments. It is as resilient as it is robust and can even withstand extremely low temperatures without any problems. Users receive all of the new system’s components from a single source. It consists of IMI Buschjost and IMI Maxseal valve controllers, filter regulators, pilot and dust collector valves. These are designed for use well below the freezing point and defy arctic temperatures down to -55 °C. Each component is made of high-quality stainless steel to ensure

Clean docked AZO CleanDock® is a system for docking containers at upstream dosing units. Apart from dust-free transfer between dosing units and mobile containers and decoupling from scales, it provides further functions. This contrasts with the situation when mobile containers are used. The use of this type of system means that there are transfer points between dosing units and the relevant bulk materials container. These transfer points have to satisfy several requirements simultaneously: First, the target receptacle needs to have a cover lid that prevents foreign matter from getting into the inside of the container during storage time. Residual quantities, which typically stick to the outlet of the dosing unit after dosing operations, should be prevented from falling into the plant. Use of special docking systems rules out potential contamination of the plant. A sealed connection between the dosing units and the target receptacle while it is docked is critical to avoid dust

and discharge base for highly flammable dusts The AZO DOSITAINER® is a container with integrated dosing screw. It is an ideal transport and storage bin for bulk solids at medium throughput. As a mobile storage container that can be automated, it is also used in automatic processing plants. The integrated dosing screw makes it possible to dose accurately into automatic weighing processes. The bulk solids are emptied from the AZO DOSITAINER® by means of a discharge base. This AZO DOSITAINER® and the discharge base are designed to be suitable for highly flammable dusts with a minimum ignition energy of 1mJ ≤ MIE < 3mJ. Key advantages • The AZO DOSITAINER® and discharge base can be used for highly flammable dusts with a minimum ignition energy of 1mJ ≤ MIE < 3mJ • Low-dust, reliable emptying of AZO DOSITAINERS® using patented docking collars, optionally with vibration discharge • The AZO DOSITAINER® can be changed over without intermediate cleaning • Integrated dosing screw with frequency-controlled

Customer: Plastic pipe manufacturer Features: Two 2-way Vortex Wye Line Diverters with air actuation & Ceram-Back inlets. For outdoor use in a pneumatic conveying system. Application: Find a solution to divert PVC resin toward several extrusion lines, while minimizing wear and abrasion at the valve. Results: The wye line diverters were installed separately to support two different conveying lines. Each diverter was fed by its own hopper (two hoppers, in total). Once resin reaches the diverter, it can be directed from one inlet toward either of two locations (1-to-2 configuration). In total, the two wye line diverters can supply materials toward four separate extrusion lines. Because PVC resin can have abrasive material characteristics, the customer expressed concern for abrasion and wear – particularly to the valve body. To compensate for wear, the valve was strengthened with ceramic backing at the diverter’s inlet. This prolongs a valve’s useful life

Smart Factory - Increase in efficiency and quality through digitisation At the FAKUMA 2017 trade fair that will be held in Friedrichshafen from 17 to 21 October, Sesotec GmbH in hall B1, booth 1302, as trade fair highlights presents Industry 4.0-ready metal separators to trade visitors. These systems contribute to the optimisation of processes and to the minimisation of time and product losses. The objective of plastics manufacturers and processors is to produce a maximum quantity of products in constant high quality. For achieving this objective the digitisation of processes is of decisive importance. For injection moulding, for example, digitisation in practice means that processes run stable and with high precision because information that is provided by peripherals such as metal separators is gathered in a network through standardised interfaces and machine parameters are thus automatically readjusted. Networked Sesotec metal separators Easy to use, highly robust, and efficient: These are the characterising properties of the

To better serve the Asian market Dinnissen Process Technology, with offices in the Netherlands and Germany, has recently set up an office in Indonesia, near Jakarta at Java. Java forms the economic heart of Indonesia and is part of the plan of the government of Indonesia to make Indonesia one of the 10 biggest economies of the world by the year 2025. In general, Asia as a continent has experienced impressive economic development in recent years and is therefore a territory of great interest to Dinnissen. It shows a large market potential for selling mixers, hammer mills and vacuum coaters in various industries such as food, feed and pet food. Perry Konings, Commercial Manager of Dinnissen Process Technology, explains. “With opening the Dinnissen Asia office in Indonesia we take an important step in the direction of further internationalisation. During our current sales projects, we realised that in order to cover the Asian market better we would need to open a dedicated office in this part of the

Nuscience’s new factory in Ghent for producing premixes, young animal feed and specialties, has been named as this year’s ”Factory of the Future 4.0”. A prestigious prize, which is being awarded to future-oriented manufacturers that meet the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution. What’s remarkable is that almost all of the production capacity of 10,000 tonnes per month is achieved using 11 Dinnissen mixers with a variety of specifications. The plant was commissioned at the end of 2015 to replace the locations in Baasrode and Drongen. Chris Mercier, COO of the Nuscience Group on the reason for this: ”We are constantly looking for opportunities to lower costs, improve product quality even further, while simultaneously increasing the efficiency and flexibility of production. We were unable to optimise further in the two old plants, particularly owing to the constraints of the buildings and layout of the factories. This investment significantly reduces

Used by major manufacturer in the starch industry EVS Distribution, Dinnissen’s partner in France, has delivered tailor-made sifters to one of the major manufacturers in the starch industry. According to the demand of the customer this special sifter should prevent cross contamination by means of improved inspection methods. The solution was a new innovation of Dinnissen; the Wingdoor sifter. Innovation is in our DNA. Developing a new sifter with improved inspection methods to prevent cross contamination was a challenging task that Dinnissen was happy to accept. Thanks to the extensive experience and expertise, the engineers at Dinnissen developed the custom-made Wingdoor sifter; a perfect combination of innovative power and the sieving process. The major advantage of this machine is that the doors can now open over the entire length of the machine. Therefore, the sieve does not need to be driven out for inspection, so that cross contamination is prevented. The replacement of the sieve mesh is naturally very efficient

FUCHS Maschinen AG; Granges-Paccot FUCHS Maschinen AG offers a new solution for the control sifting of bulk material: the Contromat ve 450 and VE 630 in square shape with various sifting capacities between 0,15 m² and 0,3 m². Up to now, the Contromat used to be delivered without outlet for foreign particles. These particles remain on the sieve before being removed manually or by means of a suction nozzle. The new Contromat version is rectangular and is provided with an outlet for oversized and foreign particles. It prevents unwanted agglomerates from remaining in the final product. The control sifter Contromat is mainly used in the food, the chemical and the pharmaceutical industries. All product wetted parts are mainly of stainless steel (1.4301). Thanks to their modular building concept, individual sifter components can be easily adapted to the customer’s needs. Cleaning and replacing the sieve decks is extremely simple, as the Contromat can be dismounted without tools. A further advantage

Moisture measurement for coffeebeans in jute sacks The AMMS sensor with its integrated microprocessor establishes a transition between the DMMS system and the analog moisture measuring sensor MMS. Besides a power supply, this sensor only needs a display or a PLC which is waiting for its measuring value. The AMMS sensor has been designed for applications which do not need a multi-pieced system but benefit of a precise on-line calibration that is able to compensate the influences of the installation. It’s also possible to calibrate the AMMS sensor directly by an integrated rotary encoder. This work actually takes place before the sensor has been installed. Measurable materials: biomass, pellets, wood chips, wood shavings, wood boards, firewood, coffee beans, cocoa beans, salt, paper, grain, corn, wheat, concrete, sand, ash, recycling glass, plastic, peat and much more! Don’t you know if your material is measurable? We examine your material in our in-house laboratory. Please do not hesitate to contact us!

To produce high-quality cement, the mineralogical and chemical composition of raw materials as well as intermediate and finished products has to be determined. At each stage of the production, samples have to be taken, processed and analysed to ensure quality control without gaps. RETSCH offers a range of instruments suitable for sample preparation during the complete production process, from the quarrying of the raw materials to the final product. The typical sample preparation process involves preliminary size reduction, sample division and fine size reduction before the sample can be submitted to further analyses. Elemental analyzers using combustion technology are ideally suited for the fast, accurate and reliable determination of carbon and sulphur in cement. Apart from size reduction, no further sample preparation is needed. ELTRA’s elemental analyzers measure the concentrations of carbon and Sulphur from ppm levels up to 100%.

Standards such as EN 197 / ASTM C 150 The compliance of cement with standards such as EN 197 / ASTM C 150 is a quality requirement. Quality assurance of the raw materials used in calcination and also during the clinker production is necessary. Carbolite gero’s AAF 1100°C Ashing Furnaces and CWF 1200°C and 1300°C General Purpose Furnaces are ideally suited for loss on ignition tests. Their use ensures that the production process meets quality standards and provides ash samples for additional analysis. In addition, the burnability or free lime content of the clinker may be tested at intervals using our higher temperature RHF 16/8 (1600 °C) Furnace. This is particularly important in situations where there is variability in the raw materials.

Visit amixon at the Powtech 2017 The recipe of the mixture in this mixing task is very complex. The components consist of large, small, round, square, and rectangular particles, such as: dried vegetables, ground spices, natural aromas, liquid extracts, stabilizers, enzymes and many others. The mixing process in the amixon® mixer takes place in two steps. In the first step, the powdery components are intensively moistened with liquid additives such as oil, fat, spice extract, oleoresin, and lecithin. In the same mixer step 2 follows: The fragile components are added (dill tips, onion rings, mushrooms, etc.) and are gently folded in. The end product flows easily and is free from dust. The coarse particles do not break. The ”multi-step” process takes place with minimal energy input and without a measurable increase in tempera-ture. The same mixer performs both mixing processes: intensive deagglomeration with very high energy input and gentle homogenizing with low energy input. amixon® apparatuses

Particle Analysis: Sample preparation, measuring, weighing, analyzing Whether using traditional or photo-optical particle analysis – the process for measuring bulk materials should be as simple and yet accurate as possible. At this year’s Powtech in Nuremberg, HAVER & BOECKER presents everything about process optimization in particle analysis. Sample preparation, measuring, weighing, analyzing are simply an integral part of particle analysis. This applies, both, to the classic screen analysis with sieve set and test sieve shaker as well as computer-assisted particle analysis of size and shape of dry, non-agglomerating bulk materials particles. The HAVER particle analysis offers its customers a process chain all of a piece. Generating reproducible sieving results is important with classic sieve analysis. Thanks to the automatic sieve identification and data acquisition from the balance, the analyses are evaluated quickly and reliably with the HAVER CSA software. With photo-optical particle measuring devices, the HAVER CPA 2-1 can

Haver & Boecker presents the new generation of CpaServ software at Powtech, in Nuremberg HAVER CpaServ software is the “artificial intelligence” for CPA particle measurement technology. The user interface allows a wide range of measurement procedures to be easily defined and initiated. Measurement and evaluation is then done automatically, with no more intervention by the user. However, if necessary, all data – down to the individual particle – can be reexamined and reanalyzed in many different ways. When developing the CpaServ 2 software, Haver & Boecker again focused on improved ease of use, clarity and efficiency for the user. Customer feedback was very important – and the Haver & Boecker team listened. What’s new this time? Plenty. Inside the analysis software, results and data from a variety of search and sorting functions can now be found faster in almost all areas of the interface. To make both orientation and daily work more efficient, now all major elements have symbols with labeling. Moreover, unused elements can be hidden. Regardless

EBW 20-MID3 The new built-in belt scale EBW 20-MID3 is a further development of the known legal-for-trade belt scale EBW 20-MID. The design of the belt scale has been revised constructively: The robust weighing platform is supported by three high precision load cells. This type of force introduction ensures the reliability and stability of the measurement and allows a very precise and exact height adjustment of the measuring frame. The EBW 20-MID3 is suitable for weighing of very light and voluminous bulk materials such as wood wool or PET recycling materials. Another advantage: A static test provides the possibility to calibrate the belt scale with check weights. The two idler belt scale is for belt widths from 800 to 1,200 mm and can be easily retrofitted in belt conveyors. The load cells are secured by a transport and overload protection. In combination with the control unit WC 9604, the belt scale has a MID approval according to OIML R50 class 0.5/ 1 and 2.

Transfer systems for the pharmaceutical industries Especially with highly active substances, the safe transport of active substances and chemicals within an operation is of great importance. The EPTS (emission-free powder transport system) has been designed for the sealed transport of small quantities of solids (powders and granules) under sterile conditions. Many well-known pharmaceutical companies already use the EPTS on a daily basis. What are the advantages of the emission-free powder transport system? The system consists of a centrifugal-optimised central container equipped with flap valves on the loading and emptying side as well as a modular set of attachments and sealing parts (tri-clamp). The active substance volume can range from 2 litres to 220 litres, depending on the diameter. Various adapter elements can be mounted on the loading side, such as funnels or adapter parts which can be rendered inert and sterilised. This also applies to the outlet. The high quality of the surface, with an RA < 0.25μm

Made of stainless steel straps When emptying drums, funnels in stainless steel make the whole process dust-free and loss-free. The broad range of Bolz intec funnels runs from asymmetrical and symmetrical funnels to conical drum funnels. Asymmetrical drum funnels are particularly useful for machines with restricted space, e.g. tablet presses. All products are produced individually or in small batches. Bolz intec is one of the leading manufacturers of asymmetrical funnels. Openings with inside diameters as small as 30 mm can be made from one piece. These can be used with all Bolz intec drums and also with drums from other manufacturers without loss of quality. The angle as well as the surface is freely selectable as bright-milled/2B, polished, or electro-polished. The material thickness is 1.5 mm. 60° and 90° angles in conical funnels is standard, but funnels can also be made according to specific customer requirements. This is where Bolz intec’s expertise and experience pays off. Bolz intec
