These cabinets allow machine builders to create new or existing systems much easier. These control cabinet for controlling the various filling and dosing processes are available as a component and suitable for controlling; • Vibrating convayors (by Frequency controller) • Feeders (via Motor drives controllers ) • Dosage valves (using Switch Contacts) With the controller you get a two speed filling process. It starts with a coarse filling at high speed and ends with a fine filling at low speed to achieve the desired accuracy. For a simple filling and dosing process, no further controls are required. These control panels are based on the Flintec FT-13 weighing controller. This controller is standard programmed with 7 filling modes. These are easily adjustable by changing parameters and used in filling and emptying processes. The dosing can be done in net or gross mode. Optionally an additional port can be installed for communication over an industrial bus (eg Profibus, Ethernet, etc.) with external systems Components of known brands…

Experts meet at PTS Paper Symposium in Munich from 7-10 September Berlin, 19.8.2010: This year’s symposium organized by Papiertechnische Stiftung (PTS) will take place in Munich from 7-10 September. Strategic topics, e.g. ethics in business life and sustainability of cost savings, are to be discussed during the first day. The further lecture days focus on the chemical technology of paper production, from fillers and fibres up to process characterization. Current results will be presented by recognized experts. LUM GmbH is market leader in innovative instruments for direct and fast stability analysis and particle characterization of dispersions. Since 2003 LUM instruments are successfully used for paper industry applications around the world. The characterization of interactions in fibre suspensions, the determination of the pore structure influence on the coating of light weight coated paper, or the dewatering of fibres belong to many tasks LUM instrument users solve every day. Moreover, the sedimentation behaviour and the particle…

Ultrasonic frequency variation for test sieves from HAVER & BOECKER HAVER & BOECKER offer a comprehensive range of accessories and ancillary equipment for precise and comfortable work in laboratories for particle analysis. The HAVER UFA (Fig.) was especially designed for sieving of powders at critical cuts ≤ 300 µm. The sieve cloth is activated by ultrasonic waves with a continuously varying frequency. These high-frequency oscillations reduce the frictional resistance between particles and sieve cloth. The inclination to blinding is minimized, the sieving capacity is increased and the sieving duration is clearly shortened. Thus, reaching the endpoint of sieving is strongly accelerated by this kind of support and automatic sieving of some bulk solids is only possible at all in this way.

The K-Tron Premier Modular Cartridge Bin Vent provides excellent air filtration of fine airborne particles from within a storage tank and releases clean air to the atmosphere. While material is pneumatically conveyed into a storage tank, fine particles and air are efficiently separated by the unit’s large cartridge filter. This enables clean air to pass from the tank out to the atmosphere. Reverse jet cleaning from a compressed air accumulator pulses the cartridge filter, dislodging any fines and returning them to the storage tank. Standard materials of construction include carbon steel enamel coating or stainless steel material contact areas. Mounting on a standard 20 in diameter tank deck, the small modular unit is inexpensive and easy to install. The unit’s single cartridge filter is constructed of tough, washable polyester. The cartridge filter hangs vertically and has shallow, open pleats for efficient dust release. Quick-release clamps allow easy access…
