Typ KTS-VS2 The GKM Vibrating Control Screening machine KTS-VS2 has been specially adapted to the needs of the food and pharmaceutical industries and meets the highest hygiene standards. The central product in- and outlet connections enable high throughput while the modular design and the quick-clamp system ensure easy handling. The machine can be equipped with external pneumatic deck lifters and this system guarantees fast screen exchange and reduces set-up and downtimes. Using overhead pneumatic cylinders, individual screening decks can be raised for inspection or to change the screen inserts. Do you want to achieve higher screening throughput? By equipping the machine with the GKM Ultra-Vario-Sonic Cleaning system the machine performance can be significantly increased particularly for screen inserts with mesh sizes below 3,0 mm and for dry and fre-flowing products. The ultrasonic cleaning system is mounted on the outside of the machine, making it particularly suitable for…

Johan Roels International Sales Manager Food J-Tec Material Handling J-Tec Material Handling provides process engineering solutions to market leaders in the food industry and chemical industry all over the world. As a process partner we go beyond designing and building installations. For the food industry specifically, the operational cost of the installation is already taken into account at the design stage. First, we examine the actual cleaning time in existing installations. Then we analyse how the process can be optimized and how these optimisations can be processed in new installations. Frequently and for long periods shutting down an installation for cleaning and maintenance purposes is detrimental to a factory`s efficiency. In the food industry, particularly in sectors where contaminations can occur, it is essential to minimize the number of cleanings on the one hand and optimize the cleaning times on the other.

KO Micromodultechnik GmbH presents the new SONO-VARIO LD moisture probe for measuring medium-density bulk solids such as grain, pellets, sewage sludge, oil fruits, powders and many other materials. Thanks to its robust design, the new SONO-VARIO LD moisture probe is ideal for installation in containers, material hoppers, conveyor belts and screw conveyors. Bulk solids experts confirm: TRIME® technology offers considerable advantages over microwave technology and capacitive measuring methods when it comes to material moisture measurement. For example, temperature fluctuations, conductivity and particle size distributions have no influence on the moisture measurement. Its secret: the use of state-of-the-art TRIME® radar technology (Time Domain Reflectometry). Using an electromagnetic TDR pulse with a 1 GHz frequency, SONO probes measure the water content precisely up to material saturation and beyond. Up to 100% water content can be measured. This even makes it possible to measure solids (e.g. 0..10% solids content) in liquids. No further analysers are required. Signal processing and evaluation with intelligent filter algorithms takes place directly in the…

A good opportunity to get to know our new liquids line In November, we present our innovative level measurement line for continuous and point level measurement in liquids, foams and pastes. There will be two opportunities to experience the new capacitive sensors live: SOLIDS Dortmund, Germany 7th - 8th November 2018 at Dortmund Westfalenhallen - Halls 4, 5, 6 & 7 in the 9th edition is the leading trade show for powder and bulk solids technologies in Germany and will be co-located with the RECYCLING-TECHNIK. On display are equipment and solutions for material acceptance, handling and processing, for internal processes as well as the bearings and ex- and internal transport flow. The UWT GmbH highlights will to be discovered at booth 4-A 01. Get your free entry ticket for SOLIDS with the invitation code 1358 now! SPS IPC Drives in Nuremberg, Germany 27th – 29th November 2018 is Europe’s leading exhibition of electric automation technology from around the world that covers all components down to complete…

Wood Handling Industries Due to some devastating recent events, the appropriate protection against explosion and fires in the wood handling industries has gained importance for both new and existing plants. We focus this year´s REMBE® Safety Days from 23.-24. October 2018 specifically on fire and explosion safety in wood handling industries. You should definitely not miss the chance to discuss this topic with operators, OEMs, insurance companies and authorities. Among the highlights of the event will be several LIVE-Explosion demonstrations on large scale set-ups at the REMBE® Research + Technology Center GmbH. Are you interested in participating in the REMBE® Safety Days in October 2018? We look forward to receiving your advance registration: safetydays@rembe.de Our picture gallery on our website https://www.rembe.com/news-events/explosion-safety-days-2018/explosion-safety-days-2017/ shows some highlights of the REMBE® Safety Days 2017, including the world’s largest explosion…

silos screw extractor, rotating disc extractor Poeth Solids Processing recently built a project consisting of: - Suction complete factory - Buffering of extracted product (very bridge-sensitive substance) - suction of heavy sand particles, by means of wear-resistant filter and pipe work - Z-Conveyor for discharge to screw containers - pneumatic docking systems for the customer what bridging the challenge. Poeth has distinctive solutions such as a screw base and a rotating discharge base.

Mechanical processing technology for tomorrow’s megatrends The next POWTECH will take place from 9 to 11 April 2019 at Exhibition Centre Nuremberg, where innovations and new approaches for the processing industries take centre-stage in six exhibition halls. Powder and bulk solids experts from around the world are invited to see the technology and solutions offered by exhibitors live in action. Two forums and an interactive knowledge zone provide expert knowledge for the food, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, glass and ceramics, non-metallic minerals and recycling segments. Here, and in the course of professional-level dialogue at the trade fair stands, visitors will get reliable answers to the challenges they face. PARTEC, the international congress for particle technology, will run parallel to POWTECH 2019 under the theme “Particles for a better life”. At POWTECH 2019, exhibitors will showcase their latest developments for mechanical processes like size reduction, agglomeration, separation, screening, mixing, storage…

Cost-effective ”eco-FlowSlide” complements the flow measurements range for free-fall appli With the ”Eco-FlowSlide” Hense Wägetechnik complements the series ”Baby-FlowSlide”, ”FlowSlide” and ”Maxi FlowSlide” with a flow measurement system, which is made entirely of stainless steel (1.4301 or 1.4721) and is nevertheless priced significantly cheaper than the established standard FlowSlide devices. How is that possible? The standard FlowSlide systems are manufactured with the highest possible precision on 5-axis machining centers. For weight reasons, 12 mm thick plates made of high-quality, seawater resistant aluminium are used. The manufacturing tolerances are below 0.02 mm. Due to the parallelism of the screwed components, no additional seals are required. The product-touching parts of the FlowSlide measuring system consist of polished stainless steel or wear-resistant ”HARDOX 400”. The new system of inexpensive, edged stainless steel sheets, does not quite reach the high measuring accuracy of the standard FlowSlides. This is caused…

Senior Account Manager Benelux at DMN-WESTINGHOUSE As of 1st September Rob van Zetten will be responsible for the Benelux sales at DMN-Westinghouse. Rob already joined the company last March as Senior Account Manager and is stationed at the Head Office in Noordwijkerhout. On his new position, Rob says: “I am very happy that I have joined DMN-Westinghouse and after an intermediate period of internal training I am ready for the challenge. With over 30 years’ experience in the market, I am glad to be working for the leading independent manufacturer of high end rotary and diverter valves. In this role it is easy to work with both system integrators and engineering companies as well as end users. I strongly believe that personal contact and trust is very important since this has always been the key to successful and long term relationships. So, I am really looking forward to visiting our customers to discuss our solutions for their needs and applications.”
