Qlar combines yard management and weighing technology with LOGiQ

LogiMAT 2025: Fully automated for efficient and secure logistics processes At the annual intralogistics exhibition LogiMAT 2025 in Germany, Qlar, formerly Schenck Process, is presenting its yard management system LOGiQ. The cloud-based software solution automates all logistics processes in industrial yards and combines the weighing of bulk and general cargo materials with efficient loading operations. The technology is used primarily in the cement and steel industries but is also suitable for other production areas. The yard management system LOGiQ automatically controls all traffic on the company premises – from the entry of authorized trucks to their exit. It monitors the site entrance, carries out weighing processes, ensures correct loading and captures all relevant data in real time. This information is integrated into an ERP system, such as SAP, to provide up-to-date sales and administration data. LOGiQ also enables the secure integration of external gateways, which means that all logistical processes on the yard can be coordinated

Schenck Process presents CS+ feeder for battery cell production

Schenck Process will be presenting the CS+ loss-in-weight feeder system at the Battery Show in Stuttgart from 18th to 20th June (Booth B73, Hall 8). The modularly configurable system is specially designed to meet the requirements of electrode production and is suitable for both continuous and batch processes. It fulfils the highest standards of safety, cleanliness and dosing accuracy. The production of lithium-ion batteries is complex. To ensure a high-performance, high-quality product, contamination of the slurry by metallic abrasion and the ingress of air and moisture must be avoided. At the same time, maximum feeding accuracy under challenging pressure conditions and a reliable containment concept are required. The new CS+ loss-in-weight feeder system from Schenck Process perfectly meets these different requirements. CS+ can be customized to meet individual customer requirements. The modular design makes it possible to cover a large feeding range with just one feeder type: CS+ is suitable for small quantities from 30 litres per hour as well as for high feeding capacities of up to 3,000 litres per hour.

InnoTrans 2010: drive stability that knows no boundaries

Schenck Process presents a new force sensor shaped by interoperability The InnoTrans trade fair running from 21 to 24 September 2010 in Berlin is focusing on road- and rail-based measuring technology. Schenck Process specialists will be presenting their new MULTIRAIL® InterScan flat sleeper with Y/Q option. The major advantage of this new product is that Q and Y forces are localised when measuring the wheel loads passing over it. High loading in a Q or Y direction can thereby be recognised in good time, making needs-based maintenance possible and delivering major potential cost savings. The special MULTIRAIL® force sensor also ensures increased reliability. Excess axle loads, uneven distribution of loads or impermissible lateral forces can result in tilted vehicles and cause accidents or costly damage. In the worst case scenario, trains can even derail - but thanks to MULTIRAIL® InterScan, such events are consigned to history.

It is also used to feed additives and fillers in powder, granulate or fibre form. One particularly appealing feature of the volumetric feeder is that it requires no maintenance. Its well thought-out design also makes flexible installation possible. Available in two feeder sizes and a total of three container sizes, the system fits in any available space. Up to eight feeders can be installed in a very compact space to form one complete feeder station as the augers are positioned off-centre. The position of the drive and auger can be changed at any time and they can easily be modified later on. Vertical container walls mean that optimum use is made of the space available and this also impacts positively on how the bulk material flows. The ProFlex® C feeder system is available in two discharge lengths for feed rates of up to 9500 dm3/hr. Maintenance-free

Kemutec Supplies New Package for GSK Cork Facility

Kemutec Powder Technologies announces the installation of a high specification package for GSK. GSK had several requirements for the package to fulfil, central of which was to accommodate a multi-product process train. This was achieved by designing in quick change operating parameters, equipment speeds, type of grinding media and sieve and screen type. The package consists of two RB100 screw feeders, which lead into two KEK Under-Driven Cone Mills. These in turn feed into two KEK Centrifugal Sifters. Mobile and sliding support mechanisms were developed to allow a milling or sieving operation to be added or removed from the process quickly and easily. The sifters are mounted on moveable structures, as GSK required them to be interchangeable with two existing flat-deck machines. Impressively, all machines used in the package are manufactured in C22 Hastelloy, thus accommodating the corrosive nature of materials and cleaning fluids. All of the machines were pressure

New ProFlex® C feed system for compound and masterbatch industry

Perfect feeding from 1 to 6,000 l/hr Recipes harmonised down to the last gram are a guarantee of quality in the compound and masterbatch industry. The ideal feeders must therefore be fully harmonised to the properties of the bulk materials and feed rates and need to be flexible in terms of spatial requirements as well. As previously announced, Schenck Process has extended the ProFlex® C feed system to include the 6000 Series for this very reason. The ProFlex® C feed system unveiled at POWTECH 2008 is used for volumetric and gravimetric feeding of additives and fillers in powder, granulate or fibre form, which are needed for the refinement of plastics. Depending on feed rate requirements, we would recommend using either the ProFlex® C500 or ProFlex® C6000 variants. Both basic models can be complemented with various feed hoppers, feed screws and spirals. Space-saving, flexible, quality-enhancing.

New solution for feeding at very low feed rates: PureFeed® DP

Schenck Process is breaking into new ground in applications for feeding very small volumes of bulk material. Its latest feed system, PureFeed® DP, is particularly well suited to continuous, gravimetric feeding of tiny volumes of powder with manual refills. The innovative technology deployed in the PureFeed® DP allows for high-accuracy feeding of small volumes from between 20 g/hr to 2 kg/hr using a speed-controlled, ceramic feed disc which rotates at the base of a cylindrical hopper and acts as the discharge mechanism. This disc separates the material supply from the outlet opening, avoids uncontrolled outflow and prevents the bulk material which is already contained within the feeder from compacting. The moving parts operate at low levels of interfering force. The pulsation-free feed principle and the wide adjustment range allow for precise, gravimetric feeding, especially of tiny volumes, without the discharge mechanism having to be replaced.

But this is all mere theory. Come to experience how the granules are fed into the process via a vibro feeder The system module, consisting of the scale hopper and the vibro feeder, is connected in an statically balanced way to an environmentally protected scale module. Each system module operates according to the loss-in-weight principle, with a controlled loss in weight per time unit with a possible setting range of the feed rate of 1:80 and highest feed accuracy and constancy. For the formation of a mixed, the vibro feeders convey the material into a blending vessel specially equipped for optimum blending quality of the various materials to be mixed. Depending on requirements, the blending vessel can also be used as buffer for the downstream process.
