MOLLET at the exhibition SCHÜTTGUT 2014 Again this year the exhibition Schüttgut 2014 in Dortmund has been a full success for MOLLET Füllstandtechnik. The large number of professional visitors we could welcome on our booth has in particular been interested in our new product MOLOSbob that enables continuous level measurement in bulk solids. In any kind of bulk solid applications this new weight and tape based sensing technology enables a reliable continuous level measurement up to a silo height of 42 meters. Easiest installation and an error-free permanent operation even in case of changing bulk goods or varying process conditions are characterized for this measurement device. With the high quality level and the very competitive prices we could convince many interested visitors of the complete product range of MOLLET and gain new customers.

in China When high reliability and power are needed, the mining company Xishan Jinxing Energy Co. Ltd relies on the fill-controlled 866 TPKL fluid coupling from Voith. A total of three fluid couplings are used underground in the powerful 4.8 MW drive of the main belt conveyor in the Xiegou No. 12 coal mine in Shanxi Province, China. Three 1600 kW (1900 HP) drives power the 1900 metre (6200 feet) long main inclined belt conveyor. This conveyor transports 3 800 metric tons of coal every hour. Powerful and reliable couplings are required. For the mine operator, the 866 TPKL fluid coupling from Voith is the best solution on the market. Through controlled application of torque, the fluid coupling pretensions the belt slowly and permits smooth conveyor start-up. This controlled soft start protects the belt and driveline components and extends their lifetime. As a result, the Voith fluid coupling reduces unplanned downtime – the operator benefits from lower maintenance costs and…

Accredited calibration laboratory according to DIN EN ISO/IEC. Ever increasing tougher demands that go beyond normal standards are now being placed on the reliability of test sieves in an increasing number of application areas. Haver & Boecker meets these demands and, since June 2013, has become Germany´s first accredited calibration laboratory for test sieves and metal wire cloth according to DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025. The calibration of test sieves with metal wire cloth expands on the inspection of test sieves with an inspection certificate 3.1 to EN 10204. Thus the continuously increasing demands from consumers, companies, and officials with regards to the quality of goods and services that are checked by test sieves are being achieved. The calibration certificates for test sieves with metal wire cloth, issued by HAVER & BOECKER, serve as proof of conformance to national and international standards and are recognized internationally by the signatory states within the scope of conventions (EA, ILAC, etc.) The facilities and…

Conference Report and Outlook on 2015 Again, the LUM GmbH, specialized in the development and production of analytical devices for dispersion analysis and particle characterization, hosted their traditional annual International Workshop in Berlin, and this year the event coincided with the 20 th anniversary of the company. In the course of the years this workshop has steadily grown in the number of participants and internationality. So researchers from Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Russia, Israel, Japan and Australia joined the meeting to present and discuss their research results concerning the production and optimization of nanoparticle suspensions, foams and emulsions as well as separation characteristics of solid-liquid systems. For the first time, a special award for young scientists, who work with analytic systems of LUM GmbH, had been launched before, and the audience was presented a series of very remarkable and ambitious research projects by the nominated candidates. For…

Industrial Auctions is organising online auction on 17th and 18th of June Internationally operating online auctioneer Industrial Auctions B.V is organising in June a big online auction in the food sector. On Tuesday the 17th of June and Wednesday the 18th of June, the online auction of machines and inventory for the food industry will take place. Around 3000 items are being auctioned due to a closing of a factory of VION Food Group in Wunstorf (Germany). In August 2013 VION Food Group, one of Europe`s biggest companies in the food sector, wanted to sell the business unit frozen foods in Wunstorf (Germany) to other food production companies. The decision was made because VION wants to concentrate more on its core activities: the slaughter of cattle and pigs. The establishment in Germany that produced frozen foods, sauces, sausages, soups and ready meals, did not fit anymore in their policies and so they put the establishment in the sales. However, the establishment was not sold and therefore had to be closed. In 2014 is decided to auction…
