3 hints to save energy and reduce cost in powder handling

Not all industries have the luxury of lush margins. It is therefore even more important to work with an experienced partner to design processes that are efficient and energy-saving and ensure the availability of the plant.

Do you have your energy costs under control?

Energy consumption is becoming increasingly important, and not only for reasons of sustainability. For products with low margins, every cost saving is significant. In many bulk material processes, transport within the plant is an energy guzzler. Tons of material often have to be moved. Here it is important to select the right conveying technology with the expertise of the plant designer, which also takes into account the properties of the bulk material. In a highly standardised production, switching from batch production to a continuous mixing process can also save a lot of energy.

Plant failures due to abrasion?

Many bulk solids, such as pigments, are very abrasive. Abrasion plays a role wherever bulk solids move. The correct design of the piping, the type of conveying and the right choice of equipment have a dramatic effect on the service life of the plant components.

GB Elbows from Gericke are an effective method to minimise abrasion in pipelines. Due to a special geometry, the pipe as well as the bulk material is protected during pneumatic conveying.

Quality problems due to impurities?

Raw materials used can contain foreign bodies such as small stones or lumps. These can damage machines, but also have a strong influence on the quality of the final product. With suitable lump disintegrators or screening machines, you have a guarantee that your raw materials enter the process in the right quality.

Raw materials often have different specifications. These can also be different depending on the supplier. Size calibration of raw materials and screening passes are proven means to increase process reliability and ensure a consistent end product. A trial in one of Gericke’s test centres will show the achievable results quickly and reproducibly.

For many years Gericke RotaVal has continuously improved its range of rotary valves. Designed and manufactured in the UK, fast clean modular range valves have been delivered to a worldwide customer base in various industries. These rotary valves offer clever and innovative solutions that protect the production process and reduce operating costs. Rotary valves are often seen as a commodity. But they play an essential role in many bulk handling processes, often even as a safety device. Therefore, it is important that the owner or manager of a plant is also considering the operational and design aspects of such a valve. Reduced Life Cycle Costs Thanks to Tapered Bore Extractable versions of rotary valves facilitate the cleaning and inspection process. But with the very small gap between the rotor and the housing, the opening and closing of a valve always involves the risk of the rotor touching the housing. The tapered bore design used by Gericke RotaVal eliminates

Gentle and safe transport of toxic NMC powders
Gericke has delivered multiple dense phase pneumatic transport systems for the gentle and safe transport of fine toxic NMC powders used for the battery production. For the production of rechargeable batteries cathode material, typically fine lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) powders are utilized. For a global chemical company Gericke delivered multiple pneumatic conveying systems to unload the powders from IBC and to convey to further production processes placed up to 50m away from the unloading point. Abrasive powders NMC powder usually has a high bulk density larger than 1.5 kg/l and are considered abrasive. Due to the abrasive character a low velocity dense phase conveying system was chosen against a lean phase conveying system to minimise wear effects in the conveying line. With the Gericke PulseFlow ® PTA conveying system a pressure vessel is used for transporting the powders as slowly moving product plugs. Wear protective coating No contamination coming from metallic wear is accepted in the powder because it could cause later a short circuit in the battery. Therefore, the complete conveying system (pressure

Gericke Mixers are now even more energy-efficient
Saving energy is a key pillar of a sustainable production environment. With the introduction of highly efficient IoT drives for its GMS batch mixers, Gericke supports their customers in achieving their ambitious goals. GMS mixers The proven GMS mixers are now combined with a highly energy-saving workhorse: a new, very efficient drive, based on a permanent magnet motor. In these motors, the magnetic field is on one side created by a permanent magnet, which offers several key advantages. Strong and efficient The delivered torque is constant over the entire speed range, which makes these motors ideal for batch mixers that start and stop frequently. Since the magnetic field only needs to be built up on one side, the efficiency of the motors is significantly higher than that of asynchronous motors. The international energy rating for such a motor is “ultra premium efficiency” (IE5). In addition to the higher rating, the high torque that can be delivered also indirectly reduces energy consumption, as the motor does not have to be oversized for the start-up. Compact and quiet Space limitations are often seen in a production plant, especially when an existing installation needs

Gentle and energy-efficient pneumatic conveying systems
As a supplier of all types of pneumatic conveying system types, Gericke can always offer the solution best suited, also considering the energy consumption and process safety. Pneumatic dense phase conveying is among the gentlest solutions and is often the only technology suited to transport large product volumes efficiently and hygienically without demixing. It enables low-abrasion transport as well as complete emptying of the conveyor pipe. Additionally, it reduces maintenance costs and energy consumption. Gericke is a global market leader in the design and delivery of such systems. Bulk handling is a major cost factor in the production process but can be well automated. So choosing the right system is crucial. Since the 1940s, Gericke has been a pioneer in the development of pneumatic conveying systems. Customers benefit from this experience. Gericke technology enables the conveying of a wide variety of goods over short and long distances.
