Thai UWT partner organises very successful seminar for level measuring instrumentation In October 2009 our distributor from Thailand R.J.C. Associates Company Ltd. organised a most successful seminar about level measurement in bulk solids. Primary responsibility held the R.J.C. management with Mr. Prasit Chatcharith and Mr. Agsorn Rachanis. Markus Schalk, international Sales Manager at UWT, gave his lecture in front of top-class decision makers and engineers from different branches of industry such as animal feed, cement, glass, synthetics, building materials, etc. The numerous representatives from a variety of branches learned everything about level limit measurement with Rotonivo 3000 and Vibranivo 2000 as well as about the continuous UWT level measurement systems like Nivobob and Nivowave. During the full day event many descriptive examples for instrumentation applications were given and the participants could see for themselves the high quality and precision of UWT products by examining sample sensors. Last year a comparable event at our…

Pure ABS, PS and PP from electronic waste hamos GmbH Recycling- und Separationstechnik supplies a newly developed complete system for recovery of high grade, pure plastics from mixtures of plastics that are difficult to separate: clean ABS, PS and PP fractions can be produced in high purity with the hamos KRS recycling plant. Large quantities of mixed plastics arise when recycling electronic waste (WEEE) or automotive shredder residue (ASR). The materials contained here, such as ABS, PS and PP for example, are so heavily contaminated by other plastics, wood, elastomers and metals that further processing is not possible without additional treatment. The hamos KRS recycling system separates out pure plastics from WEEE or pre-treated ASR fractions. The equipment runs entirely automatically und has been designed for three-shift operation. The processing method of the hamos KRS system is so flexible that the most widely different mixtures of plastics can be separated. The previously broken up mixture of…

Helical spiral mixers with a cylindrical mixing chamber have been around for about 30 years. This type of mixer is equipped with a centrally-mounted mixing shaft to which radial blade-like arms are mounted. These bear a helical spring that is adapted to the diameter of the mixing chamber. The mixture is screwed upwards at the perimeter and flows downwards in the centre of the mixing chamber. The market at that time demanded large mixers with lot sizes up to 12 m³, extremely short mixing times and a particularly gentle treatment of the mixture, especially in order to retain agglomerate structures that result, for example, from spray drying, without damage. In particular, it had to be possible to mix baby food with first-class solubility, good sinking behaviour and ideal dispersibility, ready to pack. Extremely high mixture requirements demanded a precision mixer. This was created by fusing two vertical single-shaft mixers to form a twin-shaft mixer. Precision…

TrustLube B.V. reduces grease consumption TrustLube B.V. from Willemstad proves that ‘less’ does not always need to mean ‘less’. In fact, with TrustLube®, less is always more! Less waste, more performance. Meanwhile, renowned names in the dredging and offshore industry have been using products and services supplied by TrustLube B.V. from Willemstad. Ships contain many moving parts which all need lubrication. With traditional lubrication systems, large amounts of excessive grease end up leaking into the sea, having all sorts of detrimental consequences. TrustLube® offers an alternative. TrustLube® lubrication systems are fully hermetically sealed. They guarantee you will receive the exact dosage, at the correct location, at the desired time, using the correct quantity. Lubricant wastage is therefore a thing of the past. Also, by using a higher grade lubricant, the chance of it being flushed away by seawater is minimal. There have been proven savings of up to 70%. TrustLube B.V. has been able…

Following the acquisition of Netherlands-based Penko Engineering by the global American company Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC) in 2004, ETC`s unfailing commitment to developing the Penko weighing and dosing instrumentation and measurement business, continues at full speed - even during a recession. The new two-storey building includes 3370m2 of factory space and 1280m2 of office space, surrounded by parkland in Ede, just 5 km from original home of Penko, which for the last 30 years has been in Veenendaal, central Holland. The new building represents an investment of more than 5 million Euro by the American parent company. Penko`s General Manager, Pekka Sundstedt explained, `When we started the process of looking for larger premises, some factory buildings we saw locally were either too small or did not have the facilities we needed to improve production efficiency, material handling and were therefore unable to meet our need to improve logistics and efficiency.…

Masterflex AG has recently launched a brand-new "A" hose series that complies with TRBS 2153 The Masterflex AG has recently launched a brand-new “A” hose series that complies with TRBS (Technical Rule for Operational Safety) 2153. Some of the well-tried Masterflex standard hose types have met the requirements lined out in the new directive years before it came into effect. The new “A” series products such as Master-PUR L-A or some hose types for the food industry will further complement the range of applications compliant to TRBS 2153. The new technical rule which became effective in April 2009 replaces BGR 132 and introduces new criteria for wire-reinforced hoses used in potentially explosive atmosphere zones. One of the major changes induced by TRBS 2153 is the classification of bulk materials into two categories: 1. combustible bulk materials 2. non-combustible bulk materials Provisions and procedures concerning the transport of non-combustible bulk goods have basically remained the same. Yet, this is not true for the transport…
