Protection of silos from over-pressure during pneumatic filling The maintenance free pressure indicators of the MSD-range are used to protect silos and containers from to high pressure during the pneumatic filling process. As soon as the pressure reaches the switching point the sensor activates a signal. It is very easy to avoid the costly consequences of a material overload in silos or bins with this very reliable measuring device. You can get these quality products with ATEX approvals for use in gas and dust explosive hazardous areas. Different types of the sensor enable the adjustment to the specific applications.

Presentation at Anuga in Cologne At the Anuga Exhibition in Cologne, Germany, Goudsmit Magnetic Systems from Waalre (Hall 5.2-D-020) will present a new set of clean-flow magnets. Both the standard and the rotating clean-flow magnets will not include welded seams in the new design, which allows for a very smooth finish and excludes the formation of bacteria. The Ra values between 0.05 and 0.3 will ensure that even the finest iron dust will be removed from powders. The construction of the door was also changed. This door now includes a quick release between the extractor and magnets, as a result of which the former will always be pulled outwards as well. This will prevent the extractor from remaining in the product flow during magnetic cleaning and iron getting back into the product. Because of a new seal, working with a high overpressure will be possible, without any leakage occurrence. This is particularly important when filling big bags. CLEAN-FLOW Clean-flow magnets come in standard,…

An easy and efficient way to characterize the flowability properties of your powders. The Powder Flow Tester of Brookfield analyses the powder flowability of powders on an easy but efficient way. Also the flow of powders out of storage containers and silo`s can easily be investigated. Besides this the instrument may be used as a way to check your stock-raw materials. Flowability properties of newly developped products can de investigated and compared with your existing products. With the Powder Flow Pro Software package it will be very easy to choose your experiment: - Flowability function - Wall friction - Timedependent flowability function - Bulk density Graphic data will be generated: - normal stress - shear stress - Mohr Circle Failure Loci Curves of the flowability function will be calculated and plotted automatically. Als an overlay of up to 8 curves can be generated.
