for level detection in Silica Acids A specially demanding task concerning the sensitivity of measuring equipment, is level detection in silica acids. The material changes its density very much according to how it is handled. The density of around 500 g/l when in a passive state can easily turn to less than 5 g/l when operated, e.g. during metering, pneumatic conveyance, emptying of containers etc. - the surface of the silica acid can suddenly resemble a seething cloud. The new electronic module developed by UWT is so sensitive that the material is detected absolutely reliably, in spite of the very low dampening effect caused by the silica acid on the vibrating fingers of the probe. An immediate output of the level limit signal is guaranteed. From the well proven VIBRANIVO model range of units UWT is offering two additional models: the Vibrasil„µ70 and Vibrasil„µ90, which are also available with PFA-coated oscillator, depending on the area

Stanelle Silos + Automation GmbH of Southern Germany offers four different types of loading assemblies as part of its component range. Type Rondo 250 for loading abrasive material into bulk road tankers or onto open lorries; Type Quadro 220 with retractable and conical seal for loading bulk road tankers with hygroscopic and other pulverulent media; Type Rondo 500 to 800 for coarse grain bulk solids for ship, rail and open lorry loading of bulk road tankers; and Type Tele-Rondo for the loading of bulk road tankers with heterogeneous bulk solids. On loading bulk tankers, the discharge aperture of the loading assembly positions itself on the dome opening of the tanker to be filled, in a way that no dust can escape, the emission levels are optimized in conjunction with a filter unit. Rondo 250’s retractable buckets feeds the loading material and protects the exterior collapsible bellows from wear and tear. Quadro loading spout exclusively applicable to bulk tanker loading,…

EURO-INDEX introduces two new clamp meters which are capable of measuring 4 to 20 mA signal without breaking the loop. Numerous other calibrating functions are available on these instruments.

Software determines separation of metal parts At Achema in Frankfurt (Hall 6, stand J32), Goudsmit has been displaying a series of trap magnets which are currently being updated. These block-shaped magnet systems are easily mounted onto existing equipment. They remove all types of metal particles from either lower or upper material flow on a conveyor belt whether it be food, chemicals, synthetic or ceramic materials. This updated version is produced using Neoflux® magnets, which are four times stronger than traditional Ferroxdure magnets. These magnets can even capture RVS scrapings. The use of finite element analysis software determines right from the start whether or not the iron scrapings can be picked up. It also allows for the correct choice of magnet type. Application Whenever iron particles need to be removed whether it is from fine-grained, granular, or liquid materials, trap magnets can be used. They are easy to mount and can be delivered with flanges, or even with a customized mounting frame, where…

Savings of Transport and Storage-Costs brought up to newest state of the technologie! VACPRESS Machines from Grenzebach BSH are used in all parts of the world in production and handling of powder material. By deaerating and compacting of the powders VACPRESS Machines generate massive savings in transportation and storage costs and simplify the handling of the products. An important parameter to achieve optimal outputs is the pressure between the two compactor drums. Up to now the pressure could be set manually. In the course of continually development of new solutions Grenzebach BSH now provides a new hydraulic system, that makes it possible to regulate pressure and gap automatically (e.g. via SPS). Also still existing and/or small VACPRESS Machines can be upgraded with this improvement.
