Doing away with air!

BEUMER Group: Determining the venting capacity of bags with a mobile unit

With the BEUMER bag tester, BEUMER Group has developed a testing device which is easy to transport and enables users to exactly determine the venting capacity of any type of valve bag – including all paper and plastic layers, and glued areas. The determined parameters can be used to optimise the manufacture of bags or check conformity with specifications.

Bags filled with bulk material are then stacked flat on pallets after being closed. These stacks are only stable if the air has been removed from the bags lying on top of each other. Therefore, the remaining air needs to escape from the filled bags before they are closed. The quicker this happens, the higher the filling capacity. The new BEUMER bag tester provides users with important information on the filling behaviour of each bag. This is relevant for the manufacture of bags and filling technology, as well as for transport and logistics.

A pressure-compensated flow control valve on the device constantly increases the volume flow rate until a steady pressure of 50 mbar is reached. With this pressure, the user can read the current volume flow rate, which indicates the air permeability, from the flow-rate meter. A filling spout with inflatable sleeve seals the bag valve during the air flow measurements. The scope of supply includes an additional inflatable sleeve for valve widths of up to 200 millimetres.

The BEUMER bag tester can be easily operated with the digital display unit. Thanks to this feature, the bag tester is quick to use and new users can operate it without much briefing. BEUMER Group has designed the BEUMER bag tester for mobile use. For this purpose, the device weighs just 14 kilograms and is housed in a stable hard-top case on wheels.

An economically convincing alternative
Cement manufacturer Aalborg Portland A/S relies on the Pipe Conveyor of BEUMER Group The manufacture of cement is particularly energy intensive. For an economical and sustainable operation, Aalborg Portland A/s therefore relies on alternative fuels and raw materials, in its Denmark lead plant, to ignite the calciner and the main burner. BEUMER Group supports the manufacturer with its AFR systems segment (alternative fuels and raw materials) and develops individual single-source solutions in order to efficiently convey, store and feed the differently composed materials. The customer receives everything from one source, thus having a unique contact. Due to the different grain sizes and the various compositions of these alternative fuels, it was necessary to develop an individual system solution for each line. To enable the transport of the pre-processed fuels from the storehouse to the calciner and to the main burner, BEUMER Group supplied and installed respectively one Pipe Conveyor as the heart of these systems as well as the accompanying equipments.

Belts - The better choice BEUMER belt apron conveyors transport hot materials safely and efficiently
Belts - The better choice
BEUMER belt apron conveyors transport hot materials safely and efficiently Conveying systems must meet the most stringent requirements for transporting hot materials safely and efficiently. This especially applies to the transport of cement clinker. The clinker leaves the furnace cooling system at temperatures of up to 600 °C and is stored temporarily in the clinker silo. To ensure a trouble-free transport of the clinker, the conveying system must withstand these high temperatures. In addition, low purchase costs, as well as operation and maintenance expenses, are important factors in the cement industry. With its state-of-the-art belt apron conveyor, BEUMER offers an integrated solution which is tailored specifically to meet these requirements. This solution is based on field-proven belts as used in our bucket elevators. Depending on the field conditions, purchasing costs can be up to 20 percent lower than for apron conveyors with a chain as traction element. The cells transporting the hot material are not moved by a chain, but by a belt.
