Powtech Technopharm (Nuremberg, 23-25 September 2025) is the international trade fair for process engineering experts and a tailor-made technology platform for the pharmaceutical and life science industries. Its honorary sponsors are the APV (Working Group for Pharmaceutical Process Engineering) and the VDI Association of Process and Chemical Engineering. At this working trade fair, experienced companies and innovative start-ups present a wide range of technological solutions for the production and processing of powders, granulates, bulk solids, fluids and liquids for industries of all kinds. Powtech Technopharm is the gateway to the European market and provides a comprehensive look at the latest developments and industry-specific trends. For exhibitors and visitors from numerous user industries, including the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and feed industries, building and non-metallic minerals, ceramics, glass, mechanical engineering and plant construction, recycling and the environment, as well as cosmetics and batteries, Powtech Technopharm provides the perfect platform for sharing information on process and unit operations and GxP-compliant production. Powtech Technopharm is held in Nuremberg in September, with a break every third year. The next edition in conjunction with PARTEC Congress and co-located with Fachpack will take place from 23 to 25 September 2025.

With the new connection box, existing BMMS moisture measurement sensors can be easily retrofitted - compact, flexible, and future-proof for the bulk solids industry. With the ConBox C, ACO Automation Components introduces a new connection box for the proven BMMS moisture measurement sensor. Designed by practitioners for practitioners, this compact unit offers a simple and cost-effective way to upgrade existing sensor solutions, ensuring they meet current and future demands of industrial process engineering. Flexible Retrofit of Existing Systems The ConBox C is compatible with all BMMS moisture measurement sensors and can be retrofitted to existing or new systems with minimal installation effort. Open Architecture as the Key to Future-Proofing A key feature of the ConBox C is its open system architecture, which allows for the integration of additional interfaces or modules in the future, providing a stable and future-proof foundation. Technical Highlights at a Glance - 4–20 mA analog interface for moisture measurement (adjustable 0–100%) - 4–20 mA analog interface for temperature measurement (–10 to +90 °C) -

Examples: moisture measurement of wood chips in free fall; of sawdust mounted in a screw conveyor Biomass - this umbrella term mainly coveres organic and biogenic but non-fossil material that successfully can be used for extracting energy. Mainly this material finds its field of application in biomass heating systems. You can differentiate between, inter alia sawdust, wood chips, wood pellets, straw and so on. Based on the material, on its shape and on the production and funding process different measuring locations have to be evaluated against each other. Especially in the wood pellet branch of Germany, Austria and Switzerland moisture measuring systems made by ACO have become indispensable for the real time determination of the moisture content. Even tricky applications could be managed successfully by using the broad variety of ACO’s homemade integration kits. Frequently requested: * Wood pellets * Wood chips * Sawdust Feasible measuring positions: * Chute * Free fall * Bypass * Drag chain conveyor * Screw conveyor

Inline moisture measurement directly in the production process results in optimization of product quality & operating costs and improved flow behavior & storage Making good things even better To be able to provide customers with a precise and reliable moisture measurement system in a wide range of applications, a company has to be one step ahead. ”Excuse me - I’m the new one” The new capacitive moisture measurement sensor type BMMS from ACO is setting a new standard in terms of precision, accuracy, reliability and is ideally prepared for future requirements. With its state-of-the-art technology, it measures the material moisture in real time. In addition, it is insensitive to external influences and easy to integrate into the production process. The BMMS moisture measurement sensors are factory calibrated and allows a complete reproducibility of the measurement data. When the moisture sensor is replaced, existing calibration data can be used across all sensors, avoiding the need for recalibration. Easy installation In operation, the humidity sensor requires nothing but a power supply, a display or a controller
