HAVER Industrial Wire Screens When screening loose, bulk materials, and especially when handling abrasives products such as stone, gravel or crushed stone, screen decks are subjected to extreme loads. This leads to more frequent replacement of the wire mesh, which in turn results in undesirable downtime. An alternative is using polyurethane screen decks. Although they have longer lifetimes, they also have less open screen area and so there’s a loss of screening capacity. To compensate for this an additional screening machine often has to be put into operation. One solution offers all the advantages: TY-WIRE Hybrid screening decks combine all the advantages of wire and polyurethane screening decks because TY-WIRE consists of wire mesh that is encapsulated in polyurethane using a special process. The result is a screening deck with a significantly greater open area when compared to conventional PU screening decks. At the same time, they have a lifetime that is 4 to 6 times longer than wire screen…

From MAJOR WIRE Industries Ltd and HAVER & BOECKER Self-cleaning screen media have become the ones to use especially for processing loose, bulk materials. With the FLEX-MAT from our partner company Major Wire, Haver & Boecker now offers a new screening media generation where the design significantly improves the self-cleaning effect. As opposed to the currently available products, the horizontally crimped warp wires are fixed not by weft wires in the FLEX-MAT screen media, but exclusively by recyclable PU connections. In doing so, each wire can individually vibrate throughout its entire length so that caked up material and jammed particles are more effectively prevented. In addition to the high flexibility of the wire, the smooth screen surface provides a considerably longer lifetime when compared to conventional screen sections. Clean: from very coarse to very fine: Self-cleaning screen media up to now have been available with opening sizes of 2 mm to 28 mm and are traditionally suited only for difficult to screen…

Magnetic field of 10,700 Gauss At the “Powtech” Trade Fair in Nuremberg (Hall 1, Stand 339),Goudsmit is introducing a recently developed fast-cleaning clean flow magnet that reaches a magnetic field of 10,700 Gauss on the bars in the product. The magnet system removes iron particles and weak magnetic particles from powdery substances (e.g. milk powder, sugar and flour). With the application of a new generation of Neoflux® magnets, it is also possible to capture weak magnetic particles such as 304 stainless steel. Because the grill of this new type of clean flow magnet can be drawn outwards via a rail, the magnet ensures a smooth operation and full safety (CE mark) for the operators. The casing is made of 304 stainless steel and the entire machine has a smooth finish (Ra≤0.8ų) thus complying with the HACCP/ EHEDG requirements. VERTICAL PIPE The fast-cleaning clean flow magnet is intended for vertical pipes and can be used in the foodstuffs, ceramic and chemical industries. Available…

New ultra heavy duty elevator bucket line 4B Braime Elevator Components, a worldwide manufacturer of material handling and electronic components, has designed a new large sized ultra-heavy duty elevator bucket line intended for the most severe agro-industrial uses, such as port and river terminals, ethanol and fertilizer plants, or frac sand and aggregate operations.

Interesting talks about the economy of Mainland China Uwe Niekrawietz, Managing Director of UWT GmbH meets Tao Bailiang, the economy consul of China stationed in Munich and Wei Li - IHK international for China at the IHK event in Augsburg for talks regarding the economic situation of Mainland China.

World Premiere: Universal-Voltage-Electronic From now on, the rotating paddle switches of renowned series Rotonivo RN3000/6000 and 4000 are offered with universal-voltage-electronic without jumper. This guarantees worldwide applications without reconnecting. In the future, these products run with an internal heating system. As a result, applications up to -20°C without further options are possible. The ideal sealing arrives from the addition of a flat gasket with sealing shoulder- so without the usage of a teflon tape. Moreover, negative pressure improved from -0.5 to -0.9 bar in order to prevent restrictions for any kind of production. The series Rotonivo RN4000 gains enhanced stability and more space for connection range. Furthermore, it can be switched towards the process connection- thus, does not need to be fixed. An overview of diverse news and specials: • New generation cover screws allow easy handling • Shaft seal of plastic socket prevents fissure formation • Threads now with 1 ¼’’ •…

Short Course in April Dust Explosions: How to Demonstrate DSEAR/ATEX Compliance: A one day course at the University of Greenwich campus in Kent, UK. Course date: 17 April 2013 This course gives an introduction to the subject and the simple measures that can be taken to reduce the hazard of a dust explosion. It includes a brief overview of current legislation and the safety precautions required to demonstrate compliance and provide a safe working environment for employees. Course content o UK dust explosion statistics o What is an explosion? o Standard explosion tests o Generic vs actual test data o Hazardous area zoning – 20, 21 & 22 o Fundamentals of DSEAR risk assessment o Explosion prevention methods o Explosion protection methods

Short Courses in April. If you would like to learn more about the causes and effects of Electrostatic charging in Powders, you would benefit from attending the one day short course at the University of Greenwich in Kent, UK. Course date: 16 April 2013. Electrostatic charges generated during industrial powder handling processes may give rise to unwanted particle cohesion or adhesion, which in turn results in difficulties such as particle agglomeration, segregation, material build-up on equipment and ignition of explosion, etc. Its impact is felt in terms of lower production yields and increased process downtime, or high risks to safety in manufacture. The course discusses the causes and effect of electrostatic charge in bulk solids handling, and the hazards caused to product quality control and risk assessment. Topics include: o Influences of electrostatic charge on physical properties of powders o Charge hazards in material handling processes o Evaluation and measurement techniques…
