Mahltechnik Görgens en JAVO procestechniek bouwen samen, in opdracht van een klant in de Benelux, een pilot plant voor het malen van vochtige organische materialen. In nauwe samenwerking met JAVO en Görgens is een mobiele installatie ontworpen die gebruik maakt van standaard containers. Hierdoor kan deze installatie eenvoudig getransporteerd worden en ook op diverse locaties worden opgebouwd. De Görgens turborotor is zeer geschikt om vezelige producten fijn te malen en zorgt voor een fijner en droger product dan bijvoorbeeld een hamermolen. De warmte die vrij komt bij het malen van de materialen wordt gebruikt om het product te drogen, hierdoor stijgt de calorische waarde van het materiaal. De complete pilot plant bestaat o.a. uit: • opslag bunker • doseersysteem • metaal afscheider • Görgens turborotor • container met besturingskasten • filter installatie • schroef voor de afvoer van het gemalen product

simulation of discrete elements EDEMTM is the world`s first general-purpose CAE tool to use state-of-the-art discrete element modeling technology for the simulation and analysis of particle handling and manufacturing operations. With EDEM you can quickly and easily create a parameterized model of your granular solids system. CAD models of real particles can be imported to obtain an accurate representation of their shape. Add the mechanical, material and other physical properties to form your model particles. These can be stored in a library allowing you to build a collection specific to your processes. EDEM manages information about each individual particle (mass, temperature, velocity and so on) and the forces acting on it. It can also take into account the particle’s shape, rather than assuming that all particles are spherical. For post-processing, EDEM provides data analysis tools and 3D visualizations of the particle flow. EDEM`s Particle FactoryTM technology provides a unique method

ORTEC has developed a new solution in the ORTEC Vehicle Routing and Dispatch solution set. Routing and scheduling decisions are supported at a tactical level using Tactical Route Planning (TRP). This enables companies to spread the deployment of staff and resources more evenly across a certain period. Tactical Route Planning (TRP) consists of two components: Period Scheduler and Territory Planner. Based on a customer’s location and delivery frequency, the Period Scheduling tool determines the optimal day(s) for customer deliveries. Territory Planner is ideally suited for assigning sales territories to sales forces in addition to its applications within regular distribution. In Practice A global player in beverages has been using the new TRP in one country and is currently rolling out TRP in 25 additional countries. Other customers signed up for evaluation of their current routes. This method can also be implemented for workload balancing within the oil and

Intensomix: Mid shear Mixer Hosokawa Micron bridges the gap between low shear and high shear mixing with the Intensomix The Intensomix is a mid shear mixer. This cylindrical mixer has a ribbon paddle agitating rotor in the form of a central shaft with three agitation blades attached to it. The shape of the agitation blades ensures the transport of the material upwards. Great advantage of this is the realisation of a much more compact cylindrical design with a slightly conical bottom. The three agitation blades are positioned in a way that a certain amount of friction occurs along the wall during mixing. Linear speeds of the rotor of the Intensomix are in a range of 1 m/s to 10 m/s. Two lump breakers of 7.5 kW each are placed in the sidewall for efficient admixing of fluids. The inspection door has been provided with waterjet-cut sealings under an angle of 45°, thus guaranteeing an optimal dust- and watertight closure. The Intensomix is produced in a range up to 25,000 litres. The
