Alpine Process Technology Summit: Spices, in Augsburg
Theoretical and practical knowledge about spice production. The conference in English, participation costs 295 euros per person. Whether turmeric or chilli, tea, coriander or caraway: every spice has its own specific properties and requirements. These should be taken into account in the production of high-quality food and in the development of efficient production processes. To gain a deeper understanding of these topics, Hosokawa Alpine AG is organising the Alpine Process Technology Summit | Spices at its headquarters in Augsburg on 16 and 17 April 2024. The entire spectrum of spice processing With the motto ”fit for future markets”, experts from Hosokawa Alpine, Behn + Bates, Hosokawa Micron B.V., Nexopart and Hosokawa Solids will share their in-depth expertise on spice processing with the participants. Topics range from cleaning, cutting, grinding and mixing to particle analysis, powder handling and packaging as well as after-sales service for existing plants. The technical presentations will go hand in hand with a practical session at Hosokawa Alpine’s test centre. ”The laboratory

Sugarplex SX Flow from Hosokawa Alpine receives FoodTec Award 2024
The Augsburg-based machine and plant manufacturer is delighted to receive the international award. The German Agricultural Society (DLG) has announced the winners of the International FoodTec Awards 2024. The award honours 14 innovation projects, including the Sugarplex SX Flow from Hosokawa Alpine AG with a silver medal. It is the ideal solution for the one-step production of shelf-stable icing sugar. Icing sugar has a wide range of applications within the confectionery and bakery industry. When granulated sugar (sucrose) is ground with conventional methods, icing sugar tends to clump together again immediately after leaving the mill. ”This leads to difficulties with further processing and also when used as decoration for confectionery,” explains Dr Stefan Klettenhammer, Sales Manager at Hosokawa Alpine. As a rule, additives such as starch to prevent agglomeration are required to obtain and store stable icing sugar or systems such as mixing containers that keep the icing sugar in motion. ”Complex downstream conditioning processes such as cooling and heating

Future Foods for the growing demand for proteins  Efficient processes from the Hosokawa Micron Group for the production of alternative proteins
Future Foods for the growing demand for proteins
Efficient processes from the Hosokawa Micron Group for the production of alternative proteins Proteins are a vital macronutrient. Since the human body does not have a protein store, our body cells must be regularly supplied with proteins. Global population growth is increasing the demand for it worldwide. ”In the long term, demand will no longer be able to be met with animal products alone. Moreover, alternative proteins are urgently needed due to climate protection,” concludes Alexander Langer, Deputy Head of Sales at Hosokawa Alpine, summarising the state of the current discussion. Alternative sources of proteins are plants, insects or residual streams in the food industry. Hosokawa Alpine and the entire Hosokawa Micron Group have developed the appropriate technologies for this. Protein-rich special flours through dry fractionation As an alternative to animal protein, vegetable protein plays a central role. New possibilities for obtaining plant proteins are opening up from sources such as wheat, rye, oats, barley, soya, peas, lentils or other cereals

Direct recycling of production waste of Lithium-ion batteries The machine and plant manufacturer Hosokawa Alpine has developed a process that can be used to recycle material scrap created in the production of lithium-ion batteries directly by the battery manufacturer.
Direct recycling of production waste of Lithium-ion batteries
The machine and plant manufacturer Hosokawa Alpine has developed a process that can be used to recycle material scrap created in the production of lithium-ion batteries directly by the battery manufacturer. From consumer electronics to electromobility: The demand for lithium-ion batteries is steadily increasing. But increased battery production also leads to a greater number of rejects during the manufacturing process. This arises, for example, when sorting out defects such as pinholes, inclusions and other coating faults, due to edge trimming or rejects during the finishing process. In total, about 10% (or considerably more depending on the process) of the coated cathode or anode films end up as rejects and have to be recycled. In particular, the valuable active materials, i.e. the NMC or LFP of the cathode films or the graphite-silicon mixtures of the anode films, should be processed and directly recycled free of impurities. Direct recycling ensures efficient production In order to be able to recycle cathode and anode film scrap during production, Hosokawa Alpine has developed a range of solutions. ”Direct recycling means that rejects can be recycled at the production

New spiral jet mill Alpine Microburst (AMB) from Hosokawa Alpine New AMB spiral jet mill from Hosokawa Alpine:  Ultra-fine grinding of coarse materials without  pre-crushing
New spiral jet mill Alpine Microburst (AMB) from Hosokawa Alpine
New AMB spiral jet mill from Hosokawa Alpine: Ultra-fine grinding of coarse materials without pre-crushing Hosokawa Alpine AG has developed a new jet mill where coarser products can also be added without pre-crushing. The company named the spiral jet mill Alpine Microburst (AMB) after a weather phenomenon. ”The falling downdraughts in a microburst are reflected in the central material feed of the mill and high energy input to a clearly limited area,” explains Hermann Schmidt, Operations Director Pharma & Lab Division at Hosokawa Alpine AG. Even fibrous products, which previously could only be crushed with great effort or hardly at all, can now be finely milled with the AMB. Expansion of Hosokawa jet mills With the AMB spiral jet mill, the company is now presenting its customers with a valuable addition alongside its AS spiral jet mill and the AFG fluidised bed opposed jet mill. In contrast to traditional spiral jet mills, its large, central inlet allows more coarsely ground products to be processed directly. Up to now, this required pre-crushing. While the AFG is
