DCP supplies sustainable dedusting installation to Rotterdam bulk terminal ‘Collected dust returned into the production flow’
DCP supplies sustainable dedusting installation to Rotterdam bulk terminal
‘Collected dust returned into the production flow’ Companies are increasingly prioritizing the development and maintenance of safe and environmentally responsible working conditions. Government rules and regulations are strictly adhered to, and the essential health of employees is paramount. Processors of dust-sensitive products also understand the benefits and necessity of removing, minimising and managing dust emissions to achieve a healthy working environment. For example, a processor of soya beans and rapeseed in the Rotterdam port area equipped a number of loading points in its bulk terminal with sustainable dedusting equipment supplied by Dust Control Partners (DCP). “Previously, it wasn`t really possible to enter the room without respiratory protection. Now, the dust is extracted at source and returns back into the production flow,” says Henrik Baas, account manager at DCP. The project in the port of Rotterdam can quite rightly be called unique. In order to achieve optimal extraction, DCP has fitted four

The AirScrape® conveyorskirting on a mission to assure quality in Europe Sustainable solutions
The AirScrape® conveyorskirting on a mission to assure quality in Europe
Sustainable solutions The brands of a well-known, international manufacturer stand for sophisticated surfaces made of stone material in kitchens, bathrooms or on terraces. Searching for a sustainable solution to minimize emission at transferpoints of conveyor systems, the high-quality requirements led the company to the AirScrape® skirting from Germany. The people responsible in the company had already heard and read about this special Conveyorskirting from Germany. Especially in a silicate conveying plant in southern Spain, a transfer was to be equipped with it on a test basis. Here the dust development and the strain on the employees were particularly high. Via the partner Masanes that provides the equipment with conveyor technology, contact was established with the manufacturer Scrapetec and the AirScrape® was installed at the selected transfer. The measurements of the dust development during the first test run showed a minimization of over 80 per cent. The customer was enthusiastic,

Particularly wide filling opening for easy filling
Particularly wide filling opening for easy filling
The ever-increasing use of plastic and cardboard, as well as the growing mountains of packaging waste, have also increased the demands on recycling. Storage areas need to be used more and more efficiently or are often not available at all. HSM baling presses reduce the volume of recyclable materials by up to 95 % and, with the unmixed bales, produce a secondary raw material, which is reintegrated into the recycling circuit. Positive side effect: the bales have considerable market value when they are above a certain weight. The high compression of the HSM balers saves storage space and reduces the burden on transportation. Another advantage is that less strapping material is required. The HSM V-Press vertical baler models combine the quality requirements of HSM with high profitability. Their performance and longevity make them an economical waste management solution. The HSM V-Press reduces the costs on the usually underestimated "waste disposal" cost centre. An

RHEWUM develops noise control solution for screening machines To reduce the noise emission of your screening machine RHEWUM now offers an innovative sound insulation cover.
RHEWUM develops noise control solution for screening machines
To reduce the noise emission of your screening machine RHEWUM now offers an innovative sound insulation cover. Usually screening machines are not the quietest machines in the production chain. Due to impact bar movements the screen cloth is excited to high frequency vibrations. This, in combination with the product to be screened, causes noise emissions which sometimes have to be reduced. The sound insulation tarpaulin for screening machines provides a quick and uncomplicated solution to this problem. The sturdy, custom-made tarpaulin is covered with an acoustic membrane which damps the sound and absorbs sound energy. The sound power level of the machine can be reduced by 8 dB by attaching the sound-insulating tarpaulin, which corresponds to approximately halving the perceived noise level. The tarpaulin is flexible and easy to bend - which in turn ensures simple and quick installation on the machine. Important maintenance openings remain easy to operate, as the tarpaulin can be opened at the crucial points using robust zips. The short implementation time and the cost-effective

Solae removes metal contaminants from soya powder residue with a magnet Remove very small stainless steel and iron particles
Solae removes metal contaminants from soya powder residue with a magnet
Remove very small stainless steel and iron particles Solae Belgium N.V., a Dupont company, recently introduced a new type of magnetic separator in their powder line; the Easy cleanflow magnet from Goudsmit Magnetics of Waalre (NL). This magnet checks soya powder for metal contaminants, such as stainless steel wear particles. The metal particles get into the product as a result of friction at the dryer drum and are absolutely undesirable. No operator needed Solea`s design requirements for the magnetic separator were that no operator would be required and that cleaning of the unit could be performed safely and efficiently. The unit also had to be dust-tight, food-proof and fitted with food-safe EC1935 seals. The magnetic separator placed under the vibrating sieve meets all the requirements and removes minuscule metal particles and weakly magnetic stainless steel particles as small as 30 µm from powders.How the magnet works. Stainless steel particles Solae is a food producer and, among other things, they process a residue

How safely do you screen your ammonium nitrate? Screen your ammonium nitrate safely and without risk by using RHEWUM screening technology.
How safely do you screen your ammonium nitrate?
Screen your ammonium nitrate safely and without risk by using RHEWUM screening technology. Ammonium nitrate is considered to be oxidizing but cannot ignite itself - unless large quantities are close together. Then it starts to work and heats up. The ammonium nitrate catches fire. This releases oxygen and the fire spreads. In fertilizers, it may only be used in mixtures due to its latent danger. But what does this mean for screening? Possible risks that could arise during a screening process of ammonium nitrate are, for example, high dust generation, which can lead to dust explosions and damage to health. In conformity with the ATEX directives RHEWUM screening machines are equipped with a dust-tight housing with connection to a dust extraction system to avoid high dust concentrations. A further risk is the required vibration during screening. All moving parts of a screening machine (e.g. the excitation axles, springs or bouncing balls for cleaning the meshes) which come into contact with ammonium nitrate can potentially cause an effective force. This friction

Configuration, not programming: Process visualisation made easy
Instruct, review and document with Deprag operator Guidance In almost any production environment, there are small, inconspicuous sources of error. All manufacturers dread the appearance of such errors in their assembly, because they can have such far-reaching consequences. If they result, for example, in product recalls, huge costs are incurred and significant damage can be caused to the company reputation. Alongside the selection of the optimal assembly tool, the use of high quality materials and the definition of processing parameters, error-free assembly plays a decisive role in guaranteeing reliability in production processes. Whilst at the same time, a high degree of flexibility is also a requirement in assembly. Businesses must be able to react quickly to changing quantities, models or degrees of automation. Even if systems are ready and available for operation within a short space of time, new sequences need to be integrated correctly into the production process and employees need to be trained. As a consequence, assembly

Screening machine for animal feed production French animal feed manufacturer gets suitable RHEWUM screening machine for screening of meat and bone meal.
Screening machine for animal feed production
French animal feed manufacturer gets suitable RHEWUM screening machine for screening of meat and bone meal. Animal meal is often added to animal feed as a source of protein and used as food for pets as well as zoo animals. Under strict conditions, it is also suitable as a fertilizer in agriculture. For the feed capacity of 20 tons of animal feed per hour the customer now receives a screening machine type WA with suitable feeder type SV from RHEWUM which replaces an outdated screening machine of another screening machine manufacturer. The separation is at 1 mm for removing lumps and impurities. The type WA is excellently suited for sieving powder and meal in the finest to medium grain range and can be easily integrated into existing plants. The direct transmission of the vibrations to the screen mesh via powerful electromagnets is not only energy-efficient, but also enables extremely high accelerations of more than 15 g and thus guarantees a sharp separation even when screening fine powders. Further convincing advantages of the Rhewum wa are the high availability and reliability.
