New Conveyor feed boosts yield of Eddy Current Separator  Product distributor replaces vibratory chute and prevents clogging
New Conveyor feed boosts yield of Eddy Current Separator
Product distributor replaces vibratory chute and prevents clogging The conveyor feed recently developed by Goudsmit Magnetics consists of a conveyor belt feed that is supplied by a product distributor. This prevents clogging of the vibratory chute during the recycling process and increases the yield of non-ferrous metals. Sticky or damp product streams, such as incinerator bottom ash (IBA) and refuse-derived fuel (RDF) adhere to the surface of vibratory chutes, preventing them from distributing the product evenly. The product takes on a preferred orientation (the path of least resistance) preventing formation of a homogeneous layer, which results in reduced yield of non-ferrous metals. Until now, a common solution to this problem was to clean the feed belt or vibratory chute at weekly or monthly intervals. This, however, means unnecessary downtime and extra maintenance. The true cause of the problem is the encrusted vibratory feeder. This newly developed conveyor feed with product distributor prevents this problem by creating a mono-layer

Satisfying the requirements for modern assembly systems An increased emphasis on flexibility, efficiency and technical cleanliness
Satisfying the requirements for modern assembly systems
An increased emphasis on flexibility, efficiency and technical cleanliness The year 1908 was one of the most historically significant years both for personal motorised transport and for industrial assembly. With the Model T, the Ford Motor Company launched an automobile on the market which could be manufactured for the first time in large numbers at an affordable price. This not only heralded the age of private transport for the masses, but this first assembly line also gave the green light to industrial series production in the automotive industry. Due to advancing rationalisation measures, amongst other things in the form of a comprehensive division of labour, production rose to the point where it was efficient enough to produce up to 9000 vehicles a day. Since then, despite an enormous increase in output, the basic principle of manual assembly work has essentially remained the same. Product assembly has been revolutionarily influenced by an increase in automation and digitalisation. Today, fully automatic systems can be remotely operated

Screen Efficiency Calculator Free tool for calculating purity and yield
Screen Efficiency Calculator
Free tool for calculating purity and yield Test how the selection of the screen cuts of your screening machine affects the results of your screening process. The new RHEWUM Screen Efficiency Calculator determines the respective purity and yield quickly and easily – without irritating formulas. Every producer aims to extract the greatest possible quantity of his product from the feed quantity without sacrificing the high level of quality. So in the ideal case yield and purity should both be 100 percent. But in practice, this is not technically possible and therefore testing is required to choose the right screen cut for your screening machine in order to extract a product with high yield and at the same maintaining the required purity. The RHEWUM Screen Efficiency Calculator uses the grain size distribution of your feed material, the chosen screen cuts and also the efficiency of the used screening machine to calculate not only the yield and purity, but also the massflow of the different fractions and to

Lödige at SOLIDS 2018 Dry mixes of brake and friction materials in Ploughshare® Mixer
Lödige at SOLIDS 2018
Dry mixes of brake and friction materials in Ploughshare® Mixer Even 70 years after the Ploughshare® Mixer was patented by Lödige, there are still new applications found for the fluid bed principle that was revolutionary at that time. At the SOLIDS 2018 (7 - 8. November 2018 in Dortmund/Germany), Lödige Process Technology (Hall 6/Stand S 05-6) will show a design model of a mixer specifically designed for brake and friction material applications. Lödige has been supplying mixing systems for the friction material industry over the past 40 years. In order to meet the high safety standards of braking systems in passenger cars and other vehicles, these mixes face very specific requirements: brake and friction material mixes notably consist of a multitude of powdery, finely crystalline and fibrous components having extremely different bulk densities. The mixer has to therefore not only mix these components in a homogeneous manner, but also to disperse the fibrous components to ensure the reinforcement of the finished products. This

HDPV2 Handling Cement Powder
HDPV2 Handling Cement Powder
In this client’s application, the Vortex HDPV2 is installed alongside a second pre-existing slide gate. The two gates operate in tandem to be used as a diverter. The HDPV2 is 355 mm per the client’s request. The HDPV2 is capable of handling material temperatures up to 121°C continuous service, with modifications available to accommodate material temperatures up to 232°C. Thus, material temperatures were not a concern. Though cement powder can be abrasive, the HDPV2 has proven capable of handling this material. Therefore, material characteristics were not a concern. In this application, a greater concern was convey line pressure. Although the 356 mm HDPV2 valve is capable of sealing against convey line pressures up to 3.10 barg, there was initial concern that if both gates were closed at once, undue stress may be put on the HDPV2 and could test the gate’s sealing capabilities. The client assured at least one gate would be open at all times; therefore,

Blockage detection by ProGap S Transportation of minerals
Blockage detection by ProGap S
Transportation of minerals Application In the extraction or processing of natural stones those stones (basalt and lava) in different sizes are transported to a first screening by a conveyor belt. In some cases the screen may occasionally become blocked. As soon as the screen is clogged, the stones jam in the feed chute. If this blockage reaches the previous belt, it might be damaged. The common consequences: costly and time-consuming production downtimes. Process data Costumer: Mineral company Material: Stones (basalt and lava) Installation: Feeding chute behind conveyor belt Function: Protection of conveyor belt Solution The ProGap S with filling-signal-suppresion is a universal and flexible sensor for level detection, based on proven microwave technology. In this application the ProGap S is used to detect the dumming of the stones in the discharge chute after the conveyor belt. Upon reaching a critical level monitored by the ProGap S, the transportation

Grinding and Classifying of Rare Earth Powders Their Use in Enhancing Quality in the Manufacture of Magnets
Grinding and Classifying of Rare Earth Powders
Their Use in Enhancing Quality in the Manufacture of Magnets Neodymium-iron-boron-magnets (Nd-Fe-B) are so-called rare earth magnets distinguished by their very high energy densities. A decisive factor for the quality and properties of permanent magnets is a narrow particle size distribution with the lowest possible fraction of finest- (< 2 µm) and coarsest particles (> 8 µm). The NETZSCH company offers innovative solutions to this application problem with a patent pending grinding process with downstream classifying of rare earth powders. The design of this process led to the development of jet mills and ultra-fine classifiers with which sensitive Nd-Fe-B-compounds or other rare earth alloys can be ground reliably to fine powders under inert gas operation giving a narrow particle size distribution and defined upper particle size limit with reproducible results. With NETZSCH m-Jet, a combination of a spiral jet mill with a dynamic air classifier, highest reproducible finenesses independent of the load in the gas jets are

Quality control of nuts
Quality control of nuts
Distributors as well as consumer have a great interest in their products meeting quality standards. For chemical analysis and quality control is a diligent sample preparation as a prerequisite for a fine analysis essential, in order to observe the predefined critical values and tolerance values. Perfectly suitable for the comminution of nuts are the FRITSCH Cutting Mills. Consumer protection Food inspections concentrate on verifying harmful substances like toxins, heavy metals and non-permitted pesticides. The consumers trust that top limits of harmful substances are not exceeded and therefore contaminated products not sold. Nuts are considered a problematic product in food inspections since the shell gives no clue about whether the core has the adequate quality. The inside may contain fungal spores or toxins which simply can not be perceived from the outside. With defined methods, samples may be tested for their safety.
