Dispersion stability, particle size & more - POWTECH 6-114 L.U.M. GmbH welcomes all visitors to present innovations for dispersion analysis & particle characterization. During POWTECH besides L.U.M. products also new instruments for particle shape analysis and flowability of powders are presented. Non-spherical reference particles complete the presented highlights. The new Demixing Tester LUMiCheck® (L.U.M. GmbH) is your first step in dispersion analysis. This instrument is especially designed for the quality assurance lab. It is used for the uncomplicated, comparative stability analysis & particle characterization of dispersions in their original state (without sample preparation or dilution). The fast quantitative comparison of different samples and the qualitative characterization of demixing behaviour, flocculation, sediment formation and stability make LUMiCheck the instrument of choice for the measurement of beverages and food, construction material, fuel and lubricants, and generally speaking for a large variety of…

New trends on the scientific congress in Nuremberg LUM GmbH, Berlin, Germany, presents new scientific results from the comprehensive characterization of dispersions and particles during two talks and in 8 posters on the 6th World Congress on Particle Technology (WCPT6) in Nuremberg from 26 – 29 April 2010. LUM GmbH is market leader in innovative instruments for direct and fast stability analysis and particle characterization of dispersions. Using LUM’s extremely powerful measurement instrumentation demixing processes in dispersions can be analysed in a rapid, efficient and reliable way, a comprehensive characterization of dispersions is provided. Besides the provision of innovative measurement instrumentation LUM supports the development of the subject area of „Basics and Applications of Dispersions“. Recent scientific results, partly obtained together with national and international co-operation partners, are presented to the international audience on WCPT6. The focus of the contributions is on the direct…

• Varied supporting programme provides broad spectrum of practical solutions POWTECH 2010 from 27–29 April again offers the around 15,000 expected trade visitors the opportunity for three days of intensive exchange of views with well-known manufacturers, developers and production experts. This year, almost 700 exhibitors present pioneering products, the latest technologies and future trends at the leading exhibition for powder, granule and bulk solids technologies. The extensive supporting programme offers a variety of ideas for everyday work at events ranging from explosion protection and nanotechnology live to free presentations in the halls. For example: Nanotechnology live At least one of the dimensions of length, width and height of the structures that scientists investigate in nanotechnology is smaller than 100 nanometres. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research presents its “nanoTruck” again at this year’s POWTECH/TechnoPharm. This is a roadshow and communication centre that presents nanotechnology live at two levels…

The microwave barrier VEGAMIP 61 is especially designed for the requirements and special needs of the bulk solids industry. Since the microwave barrier measures contactlessly, VEGAMIP has no direct contact with the medium. This is advantageous particularly for abrasive products or very high temperatures. In such cases VEGAMIP 61 can simply measure from the outside through a microwave-permeable window, for example, of ceramic or plastic. Also in the area of liquid level detection or object detection, the microwave barrier offers many advantages over other measuring principles. The microwave barrier consists of a VEGAMIP T61 transmitter and one or several VEGAMIP R61 receivers. The receiver measures the attenuation of the received microwave signal and generates a switching signal from it. VEGAMIP can be used as a maximum or minimum sensor. Its switching delay can be set between 0.1 and 20 s. VEGAMIP 61 is fully integrated in VEGA`s plics concept and offers all…

Parallel event: the World Congress on Particle Technology Suppliers and production specialists from all over the world meet to discuss the latest innovations at POWTECH 2010 from 27-29 April 2010. Next year’s POWTECH will again prove its top position as Trade Fair for Mechanical Processing Technologies and Instrumentation. No other exhibition in the world offers such a combination of concentrated themes and a large number of international exhibitors and trade visitors. At the last event in 2008, 707 companies – including 209 international exhibitors from 26 countries – presented their products to more than 15,000 trade visitors. WCPT6, the World Congress on Particle Technology sponsored by PARTEC, takes place parallel to POWTECH next year, starting a day earlier on 26 April. WCPT6: news from particle technology The World Congress on Particle Technology (WCPT), supported by the PARTEC Congress, takes place next year for the second time parallel to the POWTECH/TechnoPharm duo. This world congress will concentrate and…

Stanelle Silos + Automation GmbH of Southern Germany offers four different types of loading assemblies as part of its component range. Type Rondo 250 for loading abrasive material into bulk road tankers or onto open lorries; Type Quadro 220 with retractable and conical seal for loading bulk road tankers with hygroscopic and other pulverulent media; Type Rondo 500 to 800 for coarse grain bulk solids for ship, rail and open lorry loading of bulk road tankers; and Type Tele-Rondo for the loading of bulk road tankers with heterogeneous bulk solids. On loading bulk tankers, the discharge aperture of the loading assembly positions itself on the dome opening of the tanker to be filled, in a way that no dust can escape, the emission levels are optimized in conjunction with a filter unit. Rondo 250’s retractable buckets feeds the loading material and protects the exterior collapsible bellows from wear and tear. Quadro loading spout exclusively applicable to bulk tanker loading,…
