Immediate indication of jam during product conveying The maintenance free MOLOSmembran level indicators can be used as material jam detector in screw conveyors, although. As soon as a material jam occurs, the MOLOSmembran jam detector switches off the conveying process. These price-worth switches offer automated jam detection with high energy efficiency. No auxiliary energy and no special power cables are needed to operate these sensors. Furthermore the switches are easily to install and to operate. They are available with approvals for the use in potentially explosive atmospheres with dust or gas. Different options enable an optimal adaptation to the individual demands.

International Workshop Dispersion Analysis & Materials Testing 2016 - First highlights The 7th International Workshop Dispersion Analysis & Materials Testing is hosted by LUM GmbH in Berlin, Germany, from 26-27 September 2016. Here, during this now traditional interdisciplinary conference, particle scientists meet product formulators, application engineers meet scholars from extremly different application areas. All have in common the use of STEP-Technology for particle and dispersion characterization respectively the use of CAT-Technology for the timesaving determination of adhesion forces and composite strength. Both technologies developed by LUM. Results from fundamental research of the temperature influence on the density distribution during particle sizing of nanoparticles take centre of the talk of an Israeli scientist from Bar-Ilan-University. The evaluation of particle sizing with analytical centrifugation using a LUMiSizer within the European Union Project NanoDefine will be presented by a member of Technical University of Dresden. A standard…

AUMUND apron conveyors can be found all over the world, especially in plants using abrasive bulk materials, with temperatures of up to 1,000°C, and which can be transported without the aid of inert gases. The international iron and steel industry has requirements for such applications to convey iron sinter, DRI briquettes or similar bulk materials. Aumund kzb-S type apron conveyors have been successfully commissioned for hot sinter in plants in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. These are proving to be excellent references, and the Metallurgy division has now sold a further conveyor for hot sinter in Japan. A 3,000 mm wide conveyor has been developed by AUMUND’s R&D engineers especially for applications in the international steel industry. The individual components of the machine, which have proven their reliability for decades in other branches of industry, have been adapted for this particular use. The AUMUND conveyors for sinter are installed directly behind…

Russell Finex explore the most popular ways of conveying product to and from sieves Screw conveyor The screw conveyor is commonly used to move semi solid materials such as food ingredients and dry powders from one part of the production process to another. As well as providing transportation the screw conveyor may also be used to control the flow rate of the material to and from sieves. As the conveyor is fully enclosed and therefore provides relatively dust free conveying it is typically used in the food, chemical and metallurgy industries. The screw conveyor is often used with the Russell Compact Sieve® Screw feeders The design of a screw feeder closely resembles that of a screw conveyor, but the main difference is that the screw feeder gives accurate controlled feeding. Screw feeders are used in all industries. They are often used with our Finex Separator™ as they feed product at a constant rate which is essential for grading. Vibratory feeders The vibratory feeder is somewhat similar to the screw feeder as like the screw feeder…

The evolution of the wheeled Stormajor® to the tracked version offers market proven high performance and reliability with unrivalled manoeuvrability. This concept delivers a cost effective solution for stockpiling, barge loading, shiploading and rail wagon loading, even in the world’s most arduous conditions. The BF0415T is designed to receive bulk materials with densities of up to 1.6 t/m3 direct from trucks providing a large holding capacity and a regulated output feed rate of up to 625 m3/h direct to a mobile crushing, screening or other processing plant. The folded flared entry facilitates vehicle alignment and maximises holding capacity while also permitting the BF0415T to be folded up to meet restrictive transport dimensions. The outloading boom section provides the user with significant luffing and radial ranges to allow for flexible feeding and large stockpiling capabilities

Compact in height Often available height is an issue. The Rotary Silo Extractor prevents bridging and builds compact than a vibrating bottom. It also contains less critical parts such as flexibles. Also ruled out the possibility of cracking due to vibration. The rotating base is available in a heavy duty version for large silos or bunkers, as well as a lighter version.

Russell Finex participated in the number one exhibition for mechanical processing POWTECH 2016, the leading trade fair for industrial mechanical processing technology, took place in Nuremberg Germany last month, providing three full days of industry innovations, knowledge sharing and networking for business opportunities.

Schrage tube chain conveyors are conveyor systems for a wide variety of industries. It is possible to transport abrasive, toxic, explosive, or adhesive bulk material or even materials with high temperatures. The tube conveyor is available in different designs: horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or a combination thereof and in five different sizes: 115, 135, 160, 200, and 270. It is in this way that the layout, speed, and materials can be optimally adjusted to suit your bulk material. The conveyor system transports bulk material with grain sizes of up to 100 mm, a bulk density of up to 7 t/m³ or more, and flow rates of up to 80 m³/h. The maximum size per leg is 60 m horizontally or 40 m vertically. The advantages of the modular chain conveyors are their flexibility and nearly unlimited application possibilities, such as easy vertical conveyance, multiple inlets and outlets, or the conveyance of bulk materials in two directions simultaneously. The…

Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has introduced a new generation of press control manifolds. The PPCC series with pilot operated directional control valves offers a compact control manifold concept with a modular design for more flexibility and a variety of different functions, which can be implemented without the use of additional manifolds. In comparison to its successful predecessor, this series reduces pressure losses even further, considerably increasing energy efficiency. Parker’s new press controls are available in nominal sizes NG10, NG16 and NG25 making them suitable for almost all types of hydraulic press. Several functions can be implemented directly on the redesigned base manifold, such as: rapid traverse cylinders; press cylinder activation and spring-loaded tools on the piston side; and gravity fall on the rod side. The PPCC series can be customised to suit the application in question by way of the corresponding…

Currentless level measurement technology as a substantial contribution The request of many customers to safe energy can not only be fulfilled by high-tech sensors but although by level measurement devices that offer a reliable and cheap level control without any power supply. The devices of the MOLOSmembran and MOLOSpendu series completely meet these requirements and are used in the areas storage, transport and processing of bulk goods by many satisfied customers worldwide. Many different technologies are used for level control and nearly all need 24 hours a day power supply for the operation of the sensors. MOLOSmembran switches are totally different. They are reliably able to show the level of bulk goods in several applications without any operating power supply. Powdery materials in the food industry, rough gravel in the construction industry or plastics will be detected without any problems. These sensors need no power supply, as the switching energy is provided by the weight of the bulk goods and spring tension. Beside the membrane…
