Screw joint analysis assists in the selection of the best screwdriving tool In the world of technology, screw assembly is the procedure most frequently used to join components. Every manufacturer fears errors in assembly. If there is a need for product recall due to faulty screw connections, the economic impact is considerable. Along with the appropriate training of personnel and the use of high quality materials, the selection of the most suitable screwdriving tool for each application plays a major role in ensuring process reliability during assembly. A screwdriving task may only be executed reliably if precision screwdriving tools are used and the screwdriver has been optimally adapted to the application. Therefore, when making a selection, there is a wide range of criteria to consider – from flexibility and process reliability, to torque accuracy, production data acquisition, documentation requirements, investment needs, operating costs etc. In order to determine the necessary tightening parameters and to identify approaches to solutions,…

Mechtler GmbH Landesproduktenhandel is based in Austria and has recently purchased a roller sorter. They wanted one extra and ended up at Jansen&Heuning via the internet. ”I asked for a quotation via the website and had nice contact with Jansen&Heuning since then. The collaboration worked well.” The company concentrates on the production and trade of agricultural products such as grain, seeds, fertilizer and potatoes. A potato roller sorter is indispensable in their processes. Werner Rannert: ”The sorter works well. Once the machine is properly set up, it is very easy to operate”.

Simply reliable. Simple installation and set-up Multifunctional unit for discontinuous level monitoring in bulk goods The electromechanical measurement device is an invaluable instrument in the field of inventory management due to its advanced electronics technology. The reliable electromechanical lot system Nivobob® with its robust mechanical design has for that reason become the choice of many plant operators across the globe faced with demanding conditions. The Nivobob® series of plumb bob sensors is used for continuous level measurement within bulk storage silos and also for interface measurement. The simple electromechanical measurement principle is a truly reliable all-rounder in most bulk materials. The sensor weight, made of a suitable material, attached to either a tape or rope is electromechanically lowered from the top into the vessel. Once the sensor weight rests on the material, the winding direction of the motor changes and the sensor weight is rewound to the upper stop position. The electromechanical…

Evolution not revolution August 2018 sees the initial launch of the new Gericke GS centrifugal sifter. The new range of GS centrifugal sifters is the evolution of a long established design principle, highlighting Gericke as an industry leading sifter manufacturer. On commencing his position as General Manager at Gericke UK, Colin Arlott assessed the information and feedback from existing centrifugal sifter installations and decided that a new machine with an evolved design was required to meet today’s productivity demands, a machine with sound engineered solutions fit to bear the Gericke logo. The project began in earnest in January 2018 with the analysis of sifting machines in operation around the world, identifying the various design features which have proven successful with operators and maintenance engineers alike, and importantly, identifying features which had not performed as expected within process environments. This analysis provided a focus for evaluation and a direction to…

Take a look behind the scenes of RHEWUM on 12 September 2018. Those who are interested in learning more about the separation of bulk solids and the operating principles of screening machines and vibrating feeders, are kindly invited to take a look behind the scenes of RHEWUM on 12 September 2018. As an interest group the German Powder and Bulk Association (in German: Deutscher Schüttgut-Industrie Verband e.V., abbreviated: DSIV) brings together individuals and companies that are working in the fields of production, warehousing, transportation and handling of bulk solids. Since its foundation in 2012, the DSIV has regularly been gathering its members for exchanging opinions and experiences and has also been offering informative professional events. Screening technology plays an important role when processing bulk solids as it significantly influences the quality of the final products. RHEWUM has been planning, constructing and manufacturing screening machines and vibrating feeders at its own site in Remscheid for more than…

Driving with a screening machine on a truck across India? We’re doing it! In April, we started our roadshow across India to show our customers and prospect the performance of our screening machines. The first stage is now behind us and was a complete success. We were able to present our versatile RHEWUM screening technology to 15 companies from the fertilizer, sugar and sand industry. With our WA (U) mobile screening machine, our colleagues in India have not only provided their hosts with theoretical know-how, but have also been able to give hands-on examples of screening fertilizers, sand and sugar, and that’s what counted. In this way, we were able to show one of our customers in the fertilizer industry how he can increase his phosphate screening productivity by 25% without having to change existing processes. With considerable savings in electricity and maintenance costs, as well as a screen purity of around 97% (i.e. in the case of material <150 microns), we exited our customer. Various sand producers also received demonstrations…

Plastic recycling The high-frequency sieve was already frequently used for sieving dust and grit in feed and pet food applications. The desire was to be able to change a sieve deck quickly (<30 sec), but above all to be able to realize a higher sieve effeciency. The machine is then further developed and is now used for plastic recycling, for example, where the machine is placed just before the color sorter. Dust is disastrous for the lenses in a color sorter and so sieve must be sieved thoroughly. The unique thing about this system is that the screen deck can be automatically tensioned and relaxed. It looks like an elastic that attracts you, and causes a larger amplitude when tensioning / relaxing. wedge-shaped flakes, which get stuck in the screen deck, are fired from the deck. Closing the deck is therefore almost impossible. The machine vibrates high-frequency and provides higher sieving efficiency than conventional vibrating sifting machines. This is possible because only…

Flour Milling Company in East Jawa, Indonesia It is not unusual for a flour mill to have problems with in-line flap diverters when installed in a pneumatic conveying system. The soft seals around the flap are exposed to direct blast abrasion from grist or wheat flour. This can create significant pressure drops in the conveying system, as well as line plugs once product is allowed to pass through the closed leg of the diverter. A flour milling company was experiencing these problems with the in-line flap diverters purchased when the mill was built. The product leakage from the diverters was creating conveying inefficiencies and significant downtime to uninstall the flap diverter and remove line plugs. The milling company decided to install Vortex Wye Line Diverters, which are ideally designed to overcome common problems associated with in-line flap diverters. The wye line design features a stainless steel sliding blade while maintaining a positive seal when the ports are closed. The diverter is also capable…

RHEWUM sponsors student excursion With the financial support of RHEWUM and other sponsors from the mining industry, students from the field of Raw Materials Engineering of the Technical University Georg Agricola (THGA) traveled about 2,800 km through the sixth largest economy of Southeast Asia. Vietnam is considered one of the emerging economies of Southeast Asia with good economic prospects. Stable economic growth, a relatively cheap and well-educated workforce and political stability offer attractive conditions for investors. With a share of around 6.5% of the gross domestic product, mining is now Vietnam’s fourth-largest economic sector and continues to gain in importance. With the aim to visit mining sites in the northern and central parts of the country, the students of the THGA started their excursion to Vietnam in April. Above all, the focus was on mining of hard coal, apatite, copper, limestone and heavy minerals. To obtain practical impressions, the students visited in addition to the…
