CASE:Continuous mass flow measurement plastic granules production

The production process of plastic granulate starts with transporting the raw material to an extruder. In the extruder, the raw material is mixed with various additives, making the end product usable for various types of applications. After the extruder, the granulate is sieved so that a homogeneous granulate is created, after which it is put into a silo via a screw conveyor. The goal of the customer was to continuously gain insight into how much plastic granulate is being moved in order to determine how many of the additives must be added. Process data - Customer: Manufacturer of plastic granulate (Germany) - Material: Plastic granulate with various additives - Quantity: 150 – 750 kg - Conveying element: Double flange slide after silo - Installation: In free fall, approx. 500 mm after a double flange slide - Pipe diameter: DN 80 Solution The SolidFlow 2.0 was used to monitor and measure the quantities of plastic granulate.

More safety, precision and accuracy in the bulk industry

Improvement of positioning and dosing with the ultra-hygienic and space-saving From drilling machines to conveyor belts and mixers to grapples, precision and accuracy are important and save money when using these applications. When used in explosive environments, safety is a must. That is why BEGE developed the MIG® encoder. The quality encoder can be ordered as an incremental encoder (MIG NOVA+ and MIG Basic) and as an absolute encoder (MIG AST). The incremental encoder generates information about the position, angle and number of revolutions and reports incremental changes about the position. This is often used in applications where fast feedback is needed on a direct and accurate relative position. Looking for an encoder for horizontal or vertical rotational movements in logistics automation? The absolute encoder transmits unique position values from the moment the encoder is switched on, even movements that occur during a power failure. In contrast to regular encoders that are vulnerable in an industrial environment, BEGE developed an encoder

Zabluefin certified for new amca fan energy index

FEI is a wire-to-air, design-point metric emphasizing compliant fan selections based on operating points Ziehl-Abegg is the first company worldwide to certify a product range (ZAbluefin) for the new fan energy index (FEI). In 2018, Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) International introduced FEI to save energy, reduce operating costs, and accelerate decarbonization. FEI is an energy-efficiency metric for fans inclusive of motors and drives. The calculation method for the new metric is defined in ANSI/AMCA Standard 208, Calculation of the Fan Energy Index. This metric provides a standardized and consistent basis for comparing fan energy performance across fan types and sizes at a given fan duty point. FEI also considers the effects of motors and drives, when included in fan-rating tests. FEI has several uses. Fan specifiers can use it to understand and communicate fan-efficiency design intent, while legislative and regulatory bodies can use it to define energy-efficiency

Air recuperation for factory

Typhoon installed an air recuperation system for a very large producer of grain products for the food industry. Boiling, grinding, flaking, toasting, crushing, extruding flakes, popping, ... they can do everything. The establishment has four divisions: the oat and barley husking plant, maize mill, cereal flaking unit and the extrusion department. In the production tower of the oat husking plant, a lot of air is removed from the various machines and pour points. Because of this, the tower was under enormous pressure. Typhoon was asked to find a solution to compensate for this volume of air, across the various floors of the tower. As a solution, all outlet pipes were provided with individually controlled register valves. This means that all the pipes can be connected to one central main pipe. A filter box was positioned on the upper roofs of the tower for the post-filtering of this quantity of air. Two fans with a total flow of 133,000 m³/h bring the air back

Liquid Addition in IBC Blending

A revolutionary development As consumer demand is continually changing, manufacturers must have flexible and efficient production processes to stay ahead of their competition. Until now, if a powder blend required liquid addition, it was necessary to use a Fixed Mixer, which can be difficult and time consuming to clean between recipe changeovers. Invented and developed by Matcon, our innovative Liquid Addition System expands the range of the IBC tumble blender and is well suited to industries that need the flexibility to add liquids into a wide range of powder recipe mixes in a contained and efficient manner. The system works by automatically injecting one controlled liquid ‘shot’ per rotation directly into the powder mix enclosed in the Matcon Intermediate Bulk Container during its blending cycle, without any need for manual intervention or to open the blending vessel. This ensures the even dispersion of liquids to your powder recipe during the mixing process, preventing lumps from forming.

Delaere launches Bag on Pallet GEN2

Since already a few years, palletless filling of bigbags for products like milk powder, baby milk powder, starches,...has become a hot topic and even a standard. Filling bigbags without pallet inside the clean room means off course that the bigbag must be positioned on a pallet in the basic care zone. Delaere has now launched a second version of its successful Bag on Pallet system. The big difference with the first generation is that the pallet is never in contact with the position the filled bigbag is transported to coming from the clean room. With the first generation Bag on Pallet, the filled bigbag was gripped by gripping arms and the pallet was moved under the hanging filled bigbag. The Bag on Pallet GEN2 is picking up the filled bigbag by means of gripping arms which are integrated in an electrically driven movable frame. This movable frame is shifted towards the pallet with slipsheet and is thus avoiding cross-contamination. Another innovation is the adjustable

Join Camfil’s ISO 16890 educational webinar with our expert

On October 20 or 21, next At the end of August, a global revolution in the air filtration industry occurred. For the first time, a new global standard for the testing and classification of air filters was approved following a 100% “yes” decision from voters around the world. The new standard is ISO16890. This landmark decision provides significant benefits for designers, specifiers, purchasers and users of air filters in ventilation systems. Furthermore, the standard also provides significant benefits for members of the air filter manufacturing community.

Parker-Prädifa FlexiCase® Sealing Solution

for Challenging Rotary Applications in Harsh Environments Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has addressed sealing technology challenges for rotating applications in harsh conditions. Wear, chemical attack and frictional heating are common failure modes for traditional rotary lip seals. When temperatures, pressure or ambient conditions exceed the capabilities of typically used rotary seals, the FlexiCase® seal can bridge the gap between conventional lip seals and high-end mechanical seals at low cost. FlexiCase® rotary seals are unique assemblies designed to seal the most demanding rotary applications where the operating conditions exceed the capabilities of seals made from rubber elastomers. They feature one or several lips on the inner diameter that seal dynamically on a shaft and a metal casing on the outer diameter to seal statically with a press-fit into a bore. An additional gasket is positioned between the layers of sealing lips and the casing to seal off the potential leak path

Formula Air introduces wetscrubber for the food industry

Background The milk powder manufacturing industry is a growing industry. Prices keep on rising due to increased demand from growing economies in Asia. At some point in the production process any additives the customer wants can be added to the agitating milk powder. During this production process dust extraction is a very important issue. Challenge In the food processing industry, the filtration techniques and the hygiene requirements are often very hard to combine. The explosion protection requirements are often very high in the milk powder and sugar processing which make the installation very complex to maintain clean. The extracted substances are extremely hygroscopic which makes the filtration very hard and the filtration elements need to be replaced or cleaned often due to the dry medium that is being processed. Solution In collaboration with Miltech, we produced the ATEX wet scrubber for air volumes up to 20.000 m³/h. Based on a natural physical principle,

Product innovation: Sefar Tetex DLW High Capacity

Increase the capacity of you current vacuüm belt filter We are proud to announce our new innovation in the field of DLW (Double Layer Weave) filter cloth for your vacuum filter. Sefar Tetex DLW High Capacity A new weave pattern has ensured we can create quite more pores for polypropylene fabrics compared to our current double-layered filter cloth. This results in much more air permeability. The fineness of the pores remain the same and means separation of equivalent sizes of solids from liquids. Several tests in the laboratory and at relations in the field have proven higher capacity, because the filtration time decreases. If you are interested it’s possible to request A4 samples, which we will send by mail after your request.

Securyfence safety fencing system now even stronger and more

Extra reinforced posts for increased machine safety Qimarox has made the Securyfence safety fencing system even more robust by modifying the default post. In addition, for long safety fencing constructions, Quimarox has developed extra reinforced posts, which makes it unnecessary to use struts or other reinforcements. These posts are so sturdy that it is possible to mount a walk-in protection system to the fencing entirely free of vibration. The standard post in the Securyfence range is strengthened by turning the base plate 45 degrees. This means that bolts for anchoring to the floor are no longer located at the four corners, but at the four sides of the post. The forces exerted on the post can therefore be better absorbed and dissipated. The new, extra reinforced post has the same base plate, but has an extended U-shaped profile which provides extra strength. This post is particularly suitable for extra-long safety fencing structures and obviates the need to use struts. An additional advantage is that the shape

SMC launches a new lightweight floating joint for pneumatic cylinders

SMC, the world’s leading pneumatics provider, has designed and launched a new lightweight floating joint to complement its existing range for pneumatic cylinders. The JC Series has an aluminium case, instead of traditional steel, offering significant weight loss of up to 30% and thus reducing the inertial forces and lateral loads to actuators whilst operational. It also has a dustproof cover to protect the joint which extends its operating life. Designed to compensate for any misalignment that may occur between the workpiece and the cylinder, the JC Series has a rotating angle of ±5° and allowable eccentricity of ±0.5 to 1mm. This deviation absorption capacity reduces the wear of the cylinders, extending their service time. Ideal for any pneumatic cylinder where the joint needs to absorb off-centring or loss of parallel accuracy between the cylinder and the driven body, the JC Series can operate at a maximum tensile/compressive force of 3100N for cylinder

Micro and small components are dosed out of thirty flexible silos from an ALFRA Flexible Component Dosing system and an ALFRA Small Component Dosing system out of thirty flexible silos. After that the components are transported a few floors up with a vacuum transport to an ALFRA check weigher who, after weight control, directly discharges in the main mixer. Construction expenses are spared because the new systems are placed in the current factory. Additionally FKRA is able to produce automatic overnight. So the staff can fully focus on producing efficient and qualitatively. The first systems are scheduled

SMC solution for air suction - Small in size, big in benefits

SMC has developed a ‘fitting’ solution for a textile industry customer, thanks to its new air amplifier, that is small in size but has delivered big benefits by reducing energy consumption by a fifth. The ZH20-X185 air amplifier, from SMC’s Energy Saving and Vacuum range, uses compressed air technology for suction and blowing and it has proved to be an effective and cost efficient alternative to traditional electric hoovers and fans. Ideal for processes requiring the removal or suction of small particles or gases, the ZH20-X185 has been certified as the best solution and an alternative to electric hoovers. In this instance, SMC’s customer needed to suction the fabric leftovers when operating an ultrasonic fabric cutting machine.

Latest SMC guided cylinder ideal for large workpieces

SMC has unveiled a new guided cylinder to complement its MGP Series that is filling a gap in the market for a wide guided cylinder that can handle large work pieces. The MGPW has been designed with improved plate rotation torque that is three times larger than the standard MGP Series. This has been achieved by doubling the size of the guide pitch and re-positioning the guide components, which have also led to improvements in the non-rotating accuracy of the plate. Although similar in weight to the MGP, the MGPW has 170% more volume by using anodised aluminium and optimising the dimensions of various components. Easy to set-up and mount, therefore reducing labour costs, the MGPW can be used with two colour D-M9*W indication solid state auto switches or alternative round auto switches which can be fitted directly, removing the need for attaching brackets onto two surfaces of the cylinder.

Qimarox makes installing vertical conveyors faster and easier

On-site assembly of Prorunner mk1 and mk5 Qimarox has made the installation of vertical conveyors faster, easier and cheaper. Thanks to the modular design of the Prorunner mk1 and mk5 it is possible to transport the machine in parts and to assemble it on location. This leads to lower transport costs and prevents all kinds of measures being necessary in order to place fully assembled product elevators in the correct place on location. System integrators can optionally take care of assembly themselves. A fully assembled product elevator takes up a lot more space than all its loose parts together. This means that delivery in parts entails much lower transport costs than the transport of a fully assembled machine. This also means that less space is needed on site to install the machine in the right place. All parts fit through any door and no heavy equipment for unloading and erecting the machine is needed. Shorter delivery time An additional advantage of delivery in parts is the shorter delivery time, since

Dust Emission below 5 mg/Nm³ with Airtechnic Multi-Cyclones

Recently Airtechnic Solutions from The Netherlands has completed two multi-cyclone systems of which the dust emission, without back filter, is less than 5 mg/Nm3. Thus fulfilling local requirements for dust emission. In the course of years Airtechnic has further developed cyclone technology up to the point that with cyclones and multi-cyclones very low emission rates can be achieved, even at very high dust loads. Opposed to alternative dust extraction methods, the main advantages of (multi-)cyclones are that a much wider array of dust types can be handled, no more costly filter exchanges and a constant differential pressure across the entire system during operation. Also for variable flow rates Airtechnic supplies cyclone systems with a guaranteed emission. The fully automated process control system ensures that our robust dust extraction systems are user-friendly, reliable and safe.

De Heus Veghel expends blending line by using ALFRA dosing weighers

NL - Bladel, October 3, 2012 - KSE receives order to expend the blending line of De Heus Veghel – The Netherlands. Hereby De Heus is better able to separate its raw materials and especially shorten the throughput. The two current ALFRA Oblong Weighers (LBW) of De Heus, who are producing over 30 years, will be transformed into four LBW`s. Renewing the discharge transport is, in this specific case, also in hands of KSE. The expansion shortens the throughput and achieves a better separation of raw materials. Each (dosing) weigher has pressure differences, which affect the dosing and weighing result. A new module in ALFRA dose&weigh compensates these differences and is able to provide a much more stable weighing signal. De Heus is thus assured of a faster and more accurate dosing result. Earlier this year, KSE optimized the automation of the press lines, after further standardization of the press in mechanical field. All these changes results in flexibility, higher

Simatek Drum Feeder

Continuous Batch Feeding System The patented Simatek Drum Feeder is next generation technology within gentle feeding of Simatek universal elevators. This unique, mechanical drum feeder has many advantages compared to traditional feeding systems. The elevator buckets are filled separately and continuously. The variable dosing of the buckets makes it possible to obtain a very high filling degree which results in a higher conveying capacity and/or lower speed compared to other feeding systems. Often it will be possible to obtain a significant increase in capacity on existing elevators when changing to a drum feeder. The filling degree may be regulated during operation by a built-in, actuator controlled damper. This is possible at any conveying speed. Because the buckets are filled separately and precisely there is no need for overlap between the buckets, thus there is no mechanical contact between the buckets. By using Free Rotating Buckets (FRB) there is no need for forced controlling. Thereby,

Particulate emission measurement in wet gas stream TUV-tested

Wet Stack Dust Monitor PCME Accurate particulate emission measurement in wet gas stream processes, such as monitoring after wet scrubber abatement systems and processes where the flue gas falls below the dew point or has water droplet presence can be challenging. The new PCME STACK 181 WS utilises an extractive approach with heating which overcomes the problem of interference from condensation and water droplets when using an in-situ particulate monitor after wet collectors. Recently passing TUV testing against the QAL1 performance requirements, with a particulate monitoring certification range of 0-15 mg/m3 for wet gas streams marks a significant milestone. The system uses an advanced ProScatterTM Light Scatter sensor (PCME QAL 181) which is certified by TUV and MCERTS as QAL1 compliant. With certification ranges covering both 0-15 mg/m3 and 0-100 mg/m3 dust levels and an operational range of 0-200 mg/m3, the sensor is suitable for monitoring the highly abated emissions found after Flue

Laarmanns new, modular jaw crusher system At the fair POWTECH Laarmann will introduce his new modular jaw crusher concept. The first model, the LMC400, is already in production. An important issue is that the machine is prepared to expand it with a hydraulic security system to provide damage of unbreakable material. The feed size of this jaw crusher is 400 mm, but is relative easy to change at custom wishes. Especially for expensive plates (as Tungsten Carbide) is this a very important asset.

Collective safety measures for working on tanks

Safety cages for tank cleaning Dear, Nowadays security isn’t a hollow concept anymore, but a matter that draws more and more attention, and it should! When cleaning & repairing tanks, some critical points come forward, for example at the works on top of tank trucks or train wagons where the operator, standing on a round tank at a height of 3 meters, has to perform sometimes difficult movements. Despite a lot of operators go to work with caution, this remains a difficult working situation. To avoid such dangerous working circumstances, Wiese Europe has designed different types of safety cages. These safety cages can be lowered upon the truck, protecting the operator along all sides and completely excluding a possible fall. A safe and efficient access to the tanker can be assured with the already known folding stairs, available in different step-numbers and –widths. Our client, situated in the Port of Antwerp and a mayor player in his branch, was also confronted with these challenges. At

Suction capacity Mink vacuum pumps significantly expanded

Busch has significantly extended its series of dry-running Mink claw vacuum pumps. To achieve this, vacuum modules were designed that achieve suction capacity of up to 900 cubic metres per hour and more through the combination of several Mink claw vacuum pumps. These Mink MP vacuum modules were designed for operations which require high suction volumes, dry compression and high availability. Thanks to their modular construction, Mink vacuum systems can be excellently adapted to changing process conditions by altering the number or size of the Mink claw vacuum pumps in operation. Mink claw vacuum modules work extremely economically thanks to their non-contact compression principle. Because the moving parts in the compression chamber do not come into contact with one another, the vacuum pump operates 100% wear-free. Operating fluids such as oil or water for cooling or lubrication are not needed in the compression chamber. For the operator, this means almost no maintenance

Measuring precisily leads to knowing exactly

Club Tester measures the quality artificial grass In the Netherlands people live by the thought that measuring is the key to knowing. This grew from the wish to keep everything under control. Numbers don’t lie, so we measure everything. Even in the most popular sport in the Netherlands (and the world): football (soccer), voices are rising to take all variables in hand an rule out the factor of luck as far as possible. In this standardisation of circumstances is the solution, starting by making the field artificial grass instead of the unreliable natural grass. When this grass then is measured in quality and other parameters, a “standard” field is on it’s way. This now is made possible by Deltec, in close corporation with Armac! The number of football fields with artificial grass is steadily growing, but is still a precious commodity for most clubs as well as community or public sport providers. Of course, grass needs a lot of attention as well, but also artificial grass only is optimised when installation

In the old design, calibration of this type of gauge was limited to minor adjustments of zero. Over time, if the zero adjustment didn`t offer adequate calibration the gauge would need to be completely disasembled to modify the calibration but in most cases resulted in scrapping the gauge or using a gauge that didn`t meet the specified accuracy. The new Sensocon® Series S3000 has solved this problem with a span adjustment screw on the back of the gauge allowing quick and easy calibration adjustment by the user.

GrassAir news: piston compressor-series BLocair BL-BH BK

Introduction of the direct driven industrial piston compressors Many companies have a low compressed air demand, that also varies between 0 and 100%. In that case it is very important to choose the right compressor to do the job. When the compressor stops several times during the day and cools down, than a screwcompressor is not the right choice. Because condensate is falling down in the oilreservoir and oil-water emulsions starts to happen and will clog the filters. This will result in a high maintenance-level. The solution for this problem is to use an industrial piston compressor. It has no oilcirculation system and will not have the described problems. The new Blocair series piston compressors has following range: BL: one-stage compressors oillubricated, power from 1,5 to 3 kW. workingpressure 10 bar BH: two-stage compressors oillubricated, power from 1,5 to 4 kW, workingpressure from 10 to 15 bar BK: two-stage oilfree compressors, power from 1,1 to 4 kW, workingpressure 10 bar These compressors are suitable

Lightyears ahead

The door specialist EFAFLEX presents its patented door area surveillance via its laserscanner EFA-SC EFA-SCAN® is the first laser scanner worldwide for doors. The scanner completely captures the whole area in front of the door and intelligently combines motion capturing and reliable door area protection in only one device. When a moving object or a person is scanned the device reacts within a fraction of a second and the door opens. Geometry and logic of the capturing zone – with a maximum range of 10 x 10 meters – can be freely chosen. EFA-SCAN® not only detects movements but also captures their range, direction and speed. The impulse for opening is only transmitted to the door if vehicles or persons move in the direction of the door. The impulse is not transmitted if a person for instance only passes by the door. In the static safety area directly in front of the door EFA-SCAN® reacts like a security system: the scanner captures the complete width of the door and prevents the door from closing as soon as moving or static obstacles are scanned.

New RID Rotor Interference Detection van DMN-Westinghouse

The Rotor Interference Detection (RID) system can be installed to minimise damage to the rotary valve and warn of possible contamination of the conveyed product in the unlikely instance of the rotor fouling the valve body or end covers. Regardless if the RID system is employed on an easy detachable valve with or without supporting rails, our valve remains easy detachable. By isolating the rotor from the body and end covers, the electrical resistance can be monitored. When a change in resistance takes place due to contact, this will be signalled and the drive should immediately be stopped. The direct drive execution is isolated by the coupling which has a plastic spider. The chain drive is isolated from the motor base plate and the body. The contact points for electrical connection are at the drive end and on the end cover / body. This monitoring is done with an isolated switch amplifier. This will give an instant output signal in case of any contact between the

VPFlowScope: measuring flow direction

World`s first compressed air flow meter with direction sensitivity The VPFlowScope of VPInstruments offers direction sensitivity without the usage of extra equipment. Thanks to the patented ThermabrigdeTM sensor, measuring flow and direction is now an easy task. In the industries that use compressed air, the awareness is growing that flow measurements are key to large energy savings. In some cases however, measuring the compressed air demand is not as straightforward as it seems. In ring networks, the flow direction depends on the actual air consumption of each division and is therefore unpredictable. Also, measuring near air buffers is tricky, because without a non-return valve, the buffer can also deliver air back to the network. Measuring flow direction was already possible, using a flow direction switch and a mass flow meter combined. This used to be a quite complicated task. Now with the VPFlowScope you can measure the compressed air usage and direction with only one instrument. Measuring in e.g. ring networks becomes

Soymilk

7% more yield For the production of Soymilk Urschel has now designed a 2 in 1 milling system. The soaked or non-soaked beans are being pump fed to the machine with the required quantity of water. Through the impeller the beans are propelled along the tungsten carbide cutting blades producing very small particles. This is done at an impeller speed of 9,000 rpm creating a centrifugal force of over 14,000 g´s on the beans. The impeller blades are shaped in a way that by the enormous centrifugal force the first size reduction takes place; the blades in the microcut head make the final size reduction resulting in uniform particles with a nice peak in the particle size distribution. This peak means there are no big particles and make the extraction maximal. There are also no very small particles causing sedimentation after the decanter has seperated particles from liquid. The result is an increase in yield of upto 7% and no sediment. The capacity of the Comitrol Processor Model 9300 is

Jeco Plastic Products designer and manufacturer of plastic pallets and containers for the worldwide printing, manufacturing and logistics industries since 1973—recently solved an unusual material handling problem for a manufacturer of over-the-road trailers. The manufacturer must move large, heavy panels, which must be kept flat. Jeco designed and manufactured a pallet measuring 117 by 54 inches, with forklift access from all sides. The rotationally molded pallet has eight steel reinforcement bars, and is capable of bearing a 36,500 lb static load and a 24,500 lb dynamic load. Discussing the unusual product, Jeco CEO Craig Carson commented: “Few plastic molders have the design capability, oven size, or molding experience necessary to manufacture a pallet such as this. The unique design provides rigidity seldom seen in a plastic structure of this size, and the pallet, with its quarter-inch thick walls, has impact resistance which far exceeds that usually available. The pallet is manufactured

New 2- and 3-way TDV tube diverter by DMN-Westinghouse

Design based on construction of M-TDV mulitport diverter Contrary to the M-TDV multi-port with electric drive, both the new 2- and 3-TDV are activated using a pneumatic actuator, which is more cost effective. This gives a very compact design to both diverters and by using an additional line cylinder on the 3-TDV very accurate positioning is achieved. The uniquely designed seal that has already been proven on the M-TDV is also being used on the new 2- and 3-TDV. This seal is made from EPDM and is very easy to fit and clean, and being inflatable guarantees absolutely tight sealing in the conveying line up to 3 bar g. The whole range of tube diverters (2-, 3- and M-TDV) are of a sanitary design and have stainless steel AISI 316 product contact parts. The swan neck pipe connecting the inlet to outlets is designed to give minimum product degradation in every conveying direction. All conveying lines that are not in use are also sealed at the diverter outlet. This ensures that there is no air or product leakage from destinations

2- and 3way flex tube diverter

Vortex Valves Flex tube diverter The patented Vortex® Flex Tube DiverterTM is specifically engineered to handle dry bulk solids in vacuum or dilute phase pneumatic conveying systems with pressures up to 15 PSIG (1 bar). The unique design eliminates material cross contamination by a positive seal across the closed port and the elimination of internal ledges and pockets where material can lodge and remain trapped. The 3-Way Flex Tube DiverterTM is designed with seal plates that are shielded from blast abrasion allowing the diverter to positively seal air and material over its service life. Ordinary flapper-style diverter valves rely on soft elastomer seals, which are exposed to blast abrasion causing them to erode and tear away during service. Rotating tunnel style diverters typically have seals that are exposed to excessive wear upon actuation making them prone to seizing and binding due to material build-up between the housing. The Vortex® 3-Way Flex Tube DiverterTM has net-running “live

The first operational V*SEPi - RO filtration In Europe

In Belgium since march 30th 2007 On March the 15th, 2007 our first V*SEPi84" for Europe arrived in Diksmuide, Belgium. Inorder to achieve a legal acceptable dischargeable waterquality from digestate of Biomass and manure it is very difficult to reduce the COD, the N and the P with the current traditional membrane filtration systems. Here are the main reasons why: V*SEPi-filtration changes the way Engineers think about Separations! 1. High Filtration Rates: VSEP’s throughput rates average three to ten times higher than competing membrane configurations. 2. Fouling Resistance: VSEP systems use a patented vibratory shear process that is 10 times more efficient than conventional systems to keep the membrane surface clean. 3. High Solids: Because VSEP relies on a vibrating membrane surface to keep solids suspended, it is able to achieve very high concentrations without fouling. 4. High Efficiency: In the VSEP system, shear waves are focused on the membrane surface allowing for a 99% conversion

Eddy current separator promises improved performance

Effective separation of ferrous and non-ferrous metals can be challenging, especially with small-sized materials. But Cogelme - the Italian manufacturer of waste recycling equipment, mainly ferrous and non-ferrous metals separators - believes that separation today is only a matter of selecting and applying the right separation technology. Cogelme has developed an eddy current separator that is capable of processing materials down to 2mm in size and achieve very high separation purity. Its cost-effectiveness and excellent non-ferrous metal extraction are not the only advantages, as users can additionally remove ferrous metals down to powder sizes, and segregate these in a separate container. Cogelme has recently been investigating whether costs can be reduced by optimising the power used in its magnetic separator. Now the company is introducing its new eddy current separator for middle sizes materials that is less expensive, yet it maintains its high quality and a high

Palletizers ready for the future

Inductive Positioning System F110 allows more flexibility The inductive Positioning System F110 makes modern palletizers more flexible and better prepared for the future. Thanks to the contact-free operation of the Positioning System F110, readjusting the palletizers to new packages now only takes a fraction of the time needed before. Due to the monitoring of the whole traverse path, every packaging format or stack pattern can be adjusted and new formats can be easily accommodated in the future. Palletizers constantly have to adapt to new kinds of package forms, sizes and patterns, with ever-higher processing speeds. Increasingly, pallets have to cope with different package layers, requiring high machine flexibility. When changing to a new packaging format, the sidesliders on a palletizer have to be readjusted to ensure the layers are centered correctly on the pallet. Previously, the hydraulic cylinders of the side-sliders had to be adjusted with the help of magnetic cylinder sensors and often only a limited number

Hydraulics Facilitate Repairs on 12,000-Ton Movable Roof

The ten 22-foot long bogies on which the five movable sections of the 12,000 ton roof of the Miller Park stadium are carried had to be replaced. The original-equipment bogies proved inadequate. When a bogie guide roller shattered the roof had to be left partially open. The new bogies are 24 feet long and each weighs either 49 or 66 tons. The replacement of each bogie was a straightforward job. The roof had to be lifted, the old bogie removed, the new bogie positioned and the roof had to be lowered. Jacking brackets to lift against had to be designed separately. The stadium roof sections were jacked in ten separate lifts, one for each bogie replacement. Each time, the roof was lifted 4–6 inches, the old bogie driven out under its own power, a new bogie rolled in, and the roof lowered back into place on a spindle bearing. The weight lifted ranged up to 800 tons, so a capacity safety margin was provided by using four Enerpac 300-ton, 10,000 psi, 12-inch stroke cylinders

ENERPAC helps the Beijings Birds Nest to stand

Beijings National and Olympic Stadium During construction, the crisscrossed interwoven steel roof construction of the bird’s nest roof was supported by 78 temporary steel columns. For additional stability, the huge ‘twigs’ were welded onto the supports. After completion of the bird’s nest construction the ‘twigs’ had to be cut off the support piers, before dismantling of the piers could start. Basically the disconnecting and dismantling process of the temporary supports comes down to synchronically and fully controlled lifting the structure of its supports, cutting the welds, followed by controlled and synchronized stage-lowering to allow the removal of the 50mm think leveling plates that were used during construction. Enerpac was granted the contract to perform the stage lifting and lowering of the roof. The design of the bird’s nest is based on three construction circles; an outer circle, a central circle and an inner circle. Each circle has supporting piers. For load, control and accuracy

Recently Interland Techniek introduced a new line of desiccant dehumidifiers manufactured by the Swedisch company DehuTech. The dehumidifiers are of the solid wheel desiccant type and operate using two air streams; One larger air volume which is to be dehumidified, and one considerably smaller air volume for reactivation of the desiccant rotor. As the larger air volume (process air) passes trough the slowly rotating rotor, the water vapour is adsorbed by the rotor material. This reduces the humidity of the air which will then leave the dehumidifier as dry air. This dry air is then introduced into the space to be dehumidified or to any manufacturing

In the measuring pipe a homogeneous measuring field is produced by special linking of a high frequency, electromagnetic alternating field. Solids, which are within this measuring field, absorb the energy of this alternating field. This leads to a measuring signal according to the concentration of the material to be conveyed in the measuring pipe (kg/m3). By means of the same sensor technology within the measuring tube on two further places the change of the alternating field is measured. These two sensors have a defined distance to eachother. The evaluation unit with its integrated correlator determines the time of the conveyed material between the two sensors. With the known distance the velocity of the solid is then determined (m/sec). From the two measured sizes concentration (K) and velocity (V) as well as the known cross section (A) of the

New course: `Effective emergency relief design: an introduction`

Date: Februar 8, 2006; Deventer (NL) Safety and the prevention of incidents are important aspects during the design and operation of chemical facilities. Apart from the legal obligations to reduce the chances and effects of incidents, there is an economic drive to maximize safety. Direct damage of process equipment may result in the loss of market share and a detoriation of corporate image. A first line of defence is to prevent accidents from happening. However, first line safety measures may fail and a second line of defence should be in place. This is especially the case when an increase in pressure may result in rupture of equipment with a subsequent release of hazardous materials. Emergency relief systems are very suitable in forming this second line of defence. Not only will a relief system prevent the excessive pressure, it will also prevent toxic and/or flammable chemicals from entering the environment.

Non-contact temperature measurements not influenced by flames and combustio

The pyrometer IPE 140/39 from IMPAC is a special version of the IPE 140 with a spectral range of 3.9 µm. It was designed for non-contact temperature measurements of metal parts in flame heated furnaces and covers temperature ranges between 20 and 1450°C. Like the basic IPE 140, the IPE 140/39 is a highly accurate and stabile digital pyrometer. The special spectral range avoids the influence of humidity and CO2 and enables a correct measurement through flames and combustion gases. Also humidity and CO2 do not have any influence on measurements with long measuring distances. Another application is the measurement of glass, if a small penetration into the glass is necessary (e.g. glass drop). Measurement errors caused by partially cooled down surfaces can be avoided. For optimal match of the instrument to the application 3 different focusable optics with extremely small spot sizes (0.7 mm minimum) are available.

compact line for the treatment of toner cartridges

HERBOLD Meckesheim has designed a compact line for the treatment of toner cartridges. This system has been built and recently delivered to a company in Southern Germany. Using a belt conveyor with a hydraulic pushing device the material is transported to a first shredder where the material is coarsely size-reduced. If necessary, metals can be discharged at this step. Afterwards the material is fed to a slow-running HERBOLD granulator of the SML-LS series which, due to a low circumferential speed, will provide the final granular size of the material. With the help of a spiral conveyor the material is transported to a screening machine where the toner dust developed during size-reduction will be separated from the ground material. Since toner can provoke dust explosions, the machine has been equipped with a corresponding surveillance device. The received size-reduced material can easily be reused for injection moulding applications. The advantages of the plant: All

Complete Baby Food Lines

Hygienic design of production lines for high quality baby food Over the last couple of years the hygienic demands and regulation for the production of instant food for babies and children has developed rapidly. The strict food and hygiene legislation -both for the process, the installations and the plant- as well as the complexity of the food production process demand special expertise. For these reasons a production line for baby and children food should be carefully and co-ordinated engineered, designed, installed and commissioned. Cereal based instant porridge is given to children from the age of four months onwards. A balanced meal with the right amount of minerals and vitamins is undoubtedly very important for the health and growth of the child. Manufacturers of baby and children food are aware of that and therefore demand a constant quality and a recognisable colour, taste and texture of their product. Besides the requirements for the food characteristics, manufacturers are confronted with strict legislation and regulations.

Prevention of explosion risk during loading of bulk products.

It will be clear that during loading of bulk products, using the loading spout, the traditional conical loading head will not be the optimum sealing device. Dust leakage can, depending of the loaded product, create an explosion risk. Bad sealing, of the conical loading head, is caused by: * Roundness of the loading head does not fit with the manhole. * The sealing surface is a line sealing * The elastomer on the cone is subject to aging and abrasion. * During loading the cone will be lifted by escaping air from the truck. To avoid dust contact and risk for dust explosion the simplest solution is replacing the loading cone by, an absolute hermetical sealing device. The “Muhr GmbH “company has a patented solution which consist out of a cylindrical ring on which an inflatable bellow is connected, when the device is in the manhole the bellow will be inflated and forms itself to the manhole and creates an absolute hermetical sealing eliminating

New application of Comitrol milling machines

Milling of cacao nibs Successfull tests have been completed recently in the milling of cacao nibs into a homogeneous pumpable paste. The objective of the customer was to obtain a pumpable paste with a particle size smaller than 100 microns which could be fed to a ball mill for final size reduction. Customers problem with the present machine was the penetrating smell of cacao for the environment, which caused him to stop the production line. The Urschel machine used was the Comitrol Processor Model 1700 with micro cutting head and with an impeller speed of 11,000 rpm. The motor power was 40 Hp. The result was a very fine paste with a relatively low temperature after milling of about 55°C. This temperature and the compact practically closed milling system reduces the smell of cacao aroma`s considerably. The capacity of the machine was from 800 - 1,000 kgs/hr.

Integrating Hurricane P-Series Vacuum Receiver with Volumetric Feeder The Feeder Group of K-Tron International has introduced a combined feeder/ receiver unit engineered for special applications and compact spaces. The combined feeder/ vacuum receiver unit is a combination of feeding and conveying technology, based on K-Tron Soder K2 modular feeders and K-Tron Hurricane P-series vacuum receivers. Originally designed for Gain-in-weight applications with restricted headroom requirements, this unit has also been used successfully for direct loss-in-weight feeder refill, where sticky or fluidizing powder could cause problems with vacuum refill valves. K-Tron’s hemispherical feeder bowl and a pneumatic discharge valve replace the discharge valve at the receiver outlet. The Hurricane P-series standard receiver design fits easily onto the diameter of the feeder body. Feeder and receiver units can be combined freely to achieve an optimal configuration for each application. Thanks to the modularity of both the feeding and conveying

Upgraded Plug Diverter DMN-WESTINGHOUSE

DMN-WESTINGHOUSE have upgraded their PTD plug type diverter. The new PTD is of an improved, user friendly design, pressure shock resistant up to 10 bar (size 200 excluded) and suitable for pressures up to 3 bar g. Value engineering has resulted in improved specifications and a more competive price of the diverter, now available in 7 consecutive sizes from 50 to 200 mm pipe diameter. The design of the PTD plug type diverter conforms to all current legislation regarding safety in the workplace. Consequently there are no moving parts on the outside. The new PTD is of an improved, user friendly design, pressure shock resistant up to 10 bar (size 200 excluded) and suitable for pressures up to 3 bar g (standard static seals). The sizes 50-150 are optionally available for pressures up to 6 bar g (inflatable seals). The DMN-WESTINGHOUSE PTD plug type diverter has been specially designed to route powders and pellets with minimum degradation in pneumatic conveying systems.

New Gravity Plug Diverter DMN-WESTINGHOUSE

The new DMN-WESTINGHOUSE GPD is a two-way, demountable gravity diverter valve and is ideal for system installations that require frequent cleaning with minimum downtime. Design allows fast disassembly in installed location and easy access to all product-contact surfaces. The GPD is available in 4 sizes and in cast iron, aluminium or stainless steel. The GPD diverts gravity fed material to either of two lines by a rotating blade that swings through 120° to fully close off the unused port. This is done with extremely close, machined tolerances between rotating blade and body. Material flow through the valve is unrestricted with no ledges or dead spots and the product flow can be changed on the fly with most powders. The valves are manufactured in a range of finish options, including sanitary specification. Comparable fabricated gravity flap diverters normally have a polyurethane flap clamped between two metal plates to provide the seal. The disadvantage of this

Free fall flow measurement

Non contact measurement During free fall of products, a non-contacting mass flow measurement can be performed at the delivery end of conveyor systems such as vibrating conveyors, screw conveyors, rotary dischargers, chain conveyors and conveyor belts. By the radiometric principle the material flow in t/h is calculated from the product weight per area and material speed. NON-CONTACTING MEASUREMENT: * minimal maintenance * no measurement errors caused by material deposits * no influence of air flows in the fall pipe or fall chute * unaffected by temperature and grain size variations * minimal influence of moisture variations CONSTRUCTION: * simple construction at the outside of piping * simple installation of elements and control

Controlled Flow Measurement

using the Stable Micro Systems Powder Flow Analyser Dry an dwet powder flow characteristics have traditionally been subjectively measured by hand or by simply pouring methods. Such characteristics are dependent on many features including particle or granule size/shape and distribution; humidity or moisture content; surface properties including sorption; electrostatic charge; mixing kinetics; rest/flow transition; interparticulate and particle to contact surface frictions. The Stable Miccro Systems Powder Flow Analyser with Controlled Flow Measurement rapidly derives an objective numeric value for the sample that characterises and ranks its performance when subjected to a specific test programme. Measures can be used in product and process development, optimisation and quality control. The Powder Flow Analyser offers: - Application with any sample capable of flow, not just free flowing powders. - Rapid, automated, test and analysis routines for Go - No Go quality control applications. - Complex mixing and testing
