INTECONT® Opus offers user friendliness and precision in the 0.5 accuracy class What would weighing and feeding technology be without precise analysis systems? The answer is obvious – and Schenck Process, the global market leader in measuring and process technology, is regularly spurred on to deliver the best performance in this area. Schenck Process has successfully produced another such highlight with the development of the INTECONT® Opus especially for legal-for-trade belt scales, which has just been launched. It replaces the INTECONT® PLUS for legal-for-trade belt scales that have been used for evaluation electronics in Germany and other countries for many years. The level of proven quality is once again raised in the INTECONT® Opus. In comparison with its predecessor, it offers impressive state-of-the-art technology, as it is based on the ultra modern ARM9-based processor platform. This is yet another major advancement in measuring technology, because approval for the new product not only includes the previous 1 and 2 accuracy classes…

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. The ProFlex® C500 and ProFlex® C6000 Series from Schenck Process are characterised by their…

Spark extinguishing systems have been an integral part of security concepts of preventive fire and explosion protection in the various industrial processes. The task of this technology is to detect the smallest ignition source such as sparks and glowing particles in time and to extinguish them safety by local limited extinguishing measures before these sparks and glowing particles could damage machinery or other equipment. Especially in pneumatic transport ducts is this a thousand fold proven technology to protect filter systems, silos or bins against fires or explosions. Gladly GreCon will show you during the POWTECH how simply it will be possible to protect your plant as well. If a spark will be detected a fine extinguishing efficient water mist spray will be inserted in the corresponding exhaust ducts for an adjustable extinguishing time to safety extinguish the sparks. This will certainly prevent that the spark can be the fire or explosion reason in the filter,…

An outstanding employer As a result of a study conducted by CRF, Schenck Process has been awarded the `Top employer for engineers 2008` seal in Germany alongside 24 other well-known companies. Here are five good reasons why: ·Internationality – with 25 sites around the world, Schenck Process gives its staff the opportunity to deploy their know-how around the globe. ·Open company structure – we give our staff room to develop their own careers – they can for example switch from a technical position to a management career path. ·Flexible working hours model – staff have time accounts to which overtime is credited and can then be changed into time off. We have no core working hours, which means that staff are relatively free to determine their working hours with their team. ·Prospects for the future – whether they are looking for a work placement, apprenticeship or first job after graduating, Schenck Process offers young people the ideal springboard for their career. We…

Low-cost VDW load cell and DFT truck scales For many years, the RTN load cell used in Schenck Process’ truck scales has been a reliable guarantee for high quality standards. And now, the new low-cost VDW load cell for the latest generation of DFT truck scales offers customers even more alternatives. Schenck Process sells truck scales of various designs all over the globe. Depending on where they are used, both technical standards and local competition may vary. The truck scale solutions deployed reflect these variations. Until now the only common denominator has been the robust, durable RTN load cell. But markets around the world are changing. Economic requirements are changing at an ever increasing speed. Demand for simpler, lower cost and electromechanical scale solutions is growing all the time. And Schenck Process has come up with the new high-quality, self-centring VDW pressure load cell for this very reason. Many of its details are based on the experiences gleaned from the long-established RTN load…

DFT truck scales, the fifth generation The experience gained from the DFT variant of the truck scales of which, more than 2,700 have been sold throughout Europe to date, can be seen in the fifth generation’s optimised concept. For example, the entire truck scales are pre-fabricated out of high-quality precast concrete parts of the C45/55 strength class. When combined with the robust, zero-maintenance RTN ring torsion load cells and suitable elastomer mount elements or the new low-cost VDW load cell, we supply a complete model that can be installed in just one day. Depending on the length of the scales, they may be supplied in a pit version as a one- or two-part weighbridge with foundation bed, or as an above-ground version, in the following standard designs. With a single weighbridge in sizes: 8m, 10m, 12m. With two weighbridges in sizes: 16m, 18m, 20m, 24m, 25m. Special sizes can be supplied in various versions. The benefits at a glance: · Pit or above-ground version made from precast concrete…
