THE NEW GENERATION OF TEST SIEVE SHAKERS Haver & Boecker presents the new generation HAVER EML laboratory machines at ACHEMA 2015 “Making proven technology even better”. This is the motto under which the EML 200 range was revamped and improved.

Background The milk powder manufacturing industry is a growing industry. Prices keep on rising due to increased demand from growing economies in Asia. At some point in the production process any additives the customer wants can be added to the agitating milk powder. During this production process dust extraction is a very important issue. Challenge In the food processing industry, the filtration techniques and the hygiene requirements are often very hard to combine. The explosion protection requirements are often very high in the milk powder and sugar processing which make the installation very complex to maintain clean. The extracted substances are extremely hygroscopic which makes the filtration very hard and the filtration elements need to be replaced or cleaned often due to the dry medium that is being processed. Solution In collaboration with Miltech, we produced the ATEX wet scrubber for air volumes up to 20.000 m³/h. Based on a natural physical principle,…
