The new JEL Konti II CTM vibrating screen is suitable for almost all common screening tasks that have to be carried out under containment conditions. Also the change of the screen insert works without breakage of the containment. Products with a high hazard potential, such as highly active ingredients or toxic chemicals, can often only be processed under containment conditions. And protective screening, oversize and fine particle separation or classifying screening are also common practice for these products. In screening processes, the containment or the plant environment are always at risk when the machine has to be opened - as when changing the screen feeder. To enable screening processes beyond isolators and full protective suits to be carried out more economically, more simply and still safely under containment conditions, Engelsmann has developed a new containment screen in which the screen feeder can be changed without breakage of the containment and in just a few steps. The patent pending screen is now being launched on the market and will be demonstrated to the public for the first time at the Powtech trade show in Nuremberg. The JEL Konti II dust-tight all-round screening machine…

Vibration screening is suitable for a wide range of bulk solids and tasks. Advantages of the JEL Konti II vibration screening machine: hygienic design; easy handling and fast screen change. Vibration screening machines are suitable for a wide range of bulk solids and screening tasks. This is mainly due to the various adjustment options: The key parameters such as screen inclination, vibration motor tilt angle and vibration motor imbalance can be quickly and easily adjusted to the specific screening task and can also be documented. Despite the relatively low amplitudes, vibration screening machines achieve high accelerations which reduce stuck particles and guarantee outstanding screening performance. Laterally arranged vibration motors, as with the JEL Konti II, allow for very compact screening machines with a low installation height which can be easily integrated into tight conditions. Additionally, the vibration screening machine JEL Konti II is popular for its Hygienic Design, easy handling and extremely fast screen change. In our latest product video you can explore how the handling works in detail and what the further advantages of this screening machine are.

Engelsmann Product Developer Viktor Quindt addresses common challenges that need to be considered in order to empty a bulk solid efficiently. Mr. Quindt, why does the processing of bulk materials often present difficulties? The various properties of the bulk material often prove to be the greatest challenge. Many bulk materials tend to form dust, while others are high in fat or particularly breakable. And as if different bulk materials presenting peculiarities was not enough, some identical products even tend to react differently in specific environments. A typically unproblematic product can clump when transported over long distances or react differently than in a tempered space when it is exposed to high humidity and temperatures. Naturally this influences the equipment used and must be considered at all times. What does an operator have to watch out for when choosing the right bulk material technology? To ensure that a production process is not pointlessly interrupted and to fully exploit the machine’s production potential, the technology used must be matched perfectly to the task at hand and…

By optimizing the manufacturing process, we were able to reduce our manufacturing costs, all while maintaining our high levels of Engelsmann quality. As part of our internal program to increase efficiency, four of our most popular vibration screening machines were brought up to the latest state of the art technically – but that’s not all. By standardizing the individual parts and optimizing the manufacturing process, we were also able to reduce our manufacturing costs, all while maintaining our high levels of Engelsmann quality. Those four screening machines cover a wide range of screening applications: from simple protective screening to fine and coarse screening or even grading into multiple fractions. You can find out how you can benefit from this on the 2020 Efficiency Program information page.

When a Round Vibro Screen Would be a Better Bet Vibration screening machines are among the most popular screening machines on the market. No wonder, as this type of screening can be used for almost any product, with the exception of easily breakable bulk solids. It is particularly effective as the screening movement for vibration screening machines is, unlike with linear screening machines, vertical as well as horizontal, meaning even small vibration screening machines can achieve large levels of output. Vibration screening machines are available in a variety of different sizes and designs, meaning that the shape of the screen – which influences many different aspects of the screening process – probably plays the biggest role when it comes to selecting an appropriate machine. Round vibration screening machines which have specific benefits, and are even the better choice for some applications. Round screening machines Small space, large screening surface area – the low amount of space required per…

Easy big bag emptying up to OEB 4 - with the new SmartCon system

New Long-Stroke Screening Machine by Engelsmann Regardless of whether you are mixing, conveying or dosing – when it comes to handling fragile bulk solids, sensitivity is required. This particularly applies to screening machines, as the back and forth movement on the screen surface places a relatively high mechanical stress on the screening product. If this aspect is not taken into consideration when choosing and designing your screening machine, it can lead to an unwanted breakdown of grains which then results in an increased number of over- and undersized particles in the product, causing it to be no longer fit for purpose. A screening process that is gentle to the product is therefore a decisive criteria for many facility operators when it comes to choosing the right screening machine. An additional issue that screening machine suppliers have to face – aside from ensuring the quality of the screening product – is the demand for a machine handling that is a simple as possible. This requirement is commonly…

Easy big bag emptying up to OEB 4 - with the new SmartCon system

This articles gives reasons why you shouldn’t do without protective screening in industrial manufacturing processes. Protective screening is probably one of the most common screening procedures in industrial manufacturing processes. You will learn why you shouldn’t do without protective screening, and what makes a good protective screen using the example of the reworked Engelsmann screening machine JEL Fix II. Why protective screening? Protective screens are used to eliminate disruptive foreign objects and impurities from bulk goods. These foreign objects can be plastic residues, for example, or metal parts such as screws which end up in the product by accident and can cause contamination. Lost knives for cutting bagged goods or protective gloves have also been found in products. To ensure a consistently high quality in the end product, these foreign objects must be separated before the product is put into its sales packaging. If this doesn’t happen, the worst-case scenario for the manufacturer is product recalls and a damaged public image. Contamination doesn’t just…

Precisely Fitting System for Production in Cramped Conditions When it comes to procuring new machines and plant, cramped space conditions at the installation location can quickly become a problem. And this is by no means just the case when an additional component is to be incorporated into an existing process. Space is also often scarce in new production halls planned from scratch. If, on top of this, many different production and process steps have to be represented and seamlessly linked to each other, plant planners quickly come up against their limits with standardized components. This challenge was also faced by a producer from the chemical industry, who was looking for a suitable system unit for the production hall they were planning. The task: Different chemical products were to be freed from coarse particles at the end of the manufacturing process and then placed in dosed amounts in big bags. Process Section no. 1: The Removal of Coarse Particles In this special use case the vibration screening machine is to be installed,…

Easy big bag emptying up to OEB 4 Engelsmann has developed a new attachment system which can be used to empty big bags easily and safely under containment conditions. With the newly developed attachment system JEL SmartCon ES, foil-lined big bags can be emptied under containment conditions. As the emptying process is mostly automated, the operator only needs to perform a few steps themselves. During the emptying only very small, barely measurable quantities of product particles escape into the area around the machine. This protects production personnel from highly active and harmful substances and prevents cross-contamination with other products. The attachment system can be used up to a containment level of OEB 4, which equates to a particle concentration in the environment surrounding the machine of less than 10 µg / m3. “The development of the new containment system was a logical reaction on our part to the increased market demand for production equipment that helps facility operators to meet…

Dealing with bulk materials efficiently Emptying bulk goods efficiently and without residues can easily prove to be a challenge, as not every bulk material can be dealt with the same. Engelsmann Product Developer Viktor Quindt addresses common problems to be considered and provides an outlook for the future trends of the coming years. Mr. Quindt, why does the processing of bulk materials often present difficulties? The various properties of the bulk material often prove to be the greatest challenge. Many bulk materials tend to form dust, while others are high in fat or particularly breakable. And as if different bulk materials presenting peculiarities was not enough, some identical products even tend to react differently in specific environments. A typically unproblematic product can clump when transported over long distances or react differently than in a tempered space when it is exposed to high humidity and temperatures.

New Big Bag Emptying Hopper for Top Hygiene Requirements To empty a big bag hygienically, the emptying station has to be constructed in such a way that prevents the formation of germs through contaminants and unremoved product remnants. The emptying hopper plays the biggest role in this as it is the only component in an emptying station that has direct contact with the product being emptied. Dead spaces inside the hopper which are not easily accessible can result in product remnants becoming stuck and going moldy. If a new big bag is then emptied, its contents could easily be contaminated. Easy to clean For fields with top hygiene requirements, Engelsmann recommends the use of the newly-developed emptying hopper in a hygienic design. The hopper’s interior is free of dead space and parts that can become lost, meaning that the product being emptied cannot be contaminated by stuck product remnants or components such as screws or nuts coming loose. Thanks to the dead space-free design and smooth surfaces, the hopper can be…

The biggest free-swinging screening machine that Engelsmann has ever built for screening tea was supplied at the end of September. Engelsmann received the somewhat unusual order to plan and build a long-stroke screening machine (which had never been supplied in this size) for classifying tea varieties in May of this year. All in one: coarse and fine material screening in one machine Tailored to the customer‘s specific requirements, the Engelsmann free-swinging screening machine guarantees precise and gentle screening of the highly fragile tea components. The extremely selective classifying process also results in the screened tea product being of a high quality. To be able to separate different sizes of tea leaves and sort them from foreign bodies (wooden needles, plant residue) using one machine, the free-swinging unit is equipped as a double-decker with two 8 m² screening surfaces, split into a top deck for coarse material screening and a lower deck for fine…

With the JEL SafeConnect System, Engelsmann has developed an efficient solution for the safe connection of big bags in different sizes. When filling and emptying big bags, problems occur time and again.
