Eliminate products loss & residue in horizontal mixers by switching from center bottom discharge valves to bomb bay door type discharge valves. Since 1954 PerMix has been leading the industry with our engineering, innovation, performance & quality. When we talk about product loss and residue, this is an issue everyone faces that is using a horizontal mixer. To minimize this PerMix already created a discharge valve that is offset at a 15* angle, which is as the center slope of the powder. This gives PerMix an advantage over others as we are the ONLY manufacturer offering this offset. The reason for this offset is because in a mixer, with the rotation of the agitation, the powders create a slope inside the mixer, if you were to stop the agitation you would see this. Where everyone else puts the valve in the center of the mixer, we put it in the center of the slope of the powder. The other thing PerMix does to eliminate this product loss & residue even more is to offer a bomb bay type door on ALL horizontal mixers. The bomb bay type door extend the length of the bottom of the mixer and eliminate product

POWTECH is getting off to a flying start. The Leading International Processing Trade Fair will take place in Nuremberg from 26 to 28 September 2023 – almost exactly a year after POWTECH 2022. In autumn 2023, POWTECH will take on new themes: The organizer is expanding the range of products and services at the Leading Processing Trade Fair to expressly include the processing and handling of fluids. As a result, the next POWTECH will open as the “International Processing Trade Fair for Powder, Bulk Solids, Fluids and Liquids”. Integrating procedures, incorporating liquids and fluids NürnbergMesse is thus acknowledging the fact that, in many of POWTECH’s target sectors, powder and bulk solids processing combines with fluid and liquid technologies to form an integrated process. In the chemical industry, for example, liquids are turned into free-flowing granulates; and many liquid additives are mixed with bases in powder form. In the food industry it is common to disperse powders in liquids. Slurry concepts open up new opportunities. And cosmetic and pharmaceutical manufacturers need all kinds of feeding and processing procedures for solid, semi-solid

Overhaul makes elevator better than ever. Muller Beltex has worked for IGMA for many years and is jointly responsible for the installations. The work we performed Elaborate inspections of the technical components of one of the floating weighing towers, a 36 MT crane with a capacity of 1500 MT/hour. The report showed that certain components required action in order to guarantee reliability; preventive and corrective maintenance. Belt replacement Wear on the back of the bucket elevator belt was observed making the belt’s replacement a necessity. This was also true for the rubber pulley lagging of both drive pulleys. The crowning of the return pulleys, which was too much, exerted unnecessarily high forces and friction on the belt, as well as on the belt fastener and elevator buckets. Proper planning By preparing a suitable and thorough action plan, with a realistic time span for implementing the inspection report’s recommendations, it was decided to carry out the various activities in a single efficient stop. The existing belts and both drive pulleys were hoisted to the lower deck using a telescopic

Fine and uniform preparation of metal powder. Perfect metal powders need optimal classification. Ultra-fine cryogenic grinding of polymer powder With its classifiers for powder production, Hosokawa Alpine develops unique technologies for a wide range of industries that have already proven their worth hundreds of times over. Now the machines, designed for extremely precise classification and easy cleaning, have been specially adapted to the requirements of metal powder production. Perfect metal powders need optimal classification ”Conventional sieving machines remove the coarse particles that accumulate during atomisation of the metal powder in a pre-classification step. This technology, however, soon encounters its limits when flexible separation cuts, inert gas operation or more frequent product changes are required,” explains Alexander Krauser, Operations Director Chemical Division at Hosokawa Alpine. An optimum solution is now available: air classifiers from Hosokawa Alpine. The different types of air classifiers always work in a manner precisely tailored to the task at hand: The tried-and-trusted

This method covers fluctuations much more effectively than the zeta potential As the first supplier ever, FRITSCH has now developed a way to measure the pH value of the dispersion liquid almost directly in the measuring unit. The new pH sensor is installed as a module in the dispersion bath and connected to the Laser Particle Sizer. It continuously measures the pH value during the measurement and automatically transfers the determined values to the software for documentation. This method covers fluctuations much more effectively than the zeta potential and offers many advantages, especially in the area of research and development. The pH value is much broader, especially with measurements in the field of nano-suspensions. Its monitoring provides valuable information about how and when a chemically inert material, for example, reacts to alkalis, depending on the environment. If the curve is unstable and varies during measurement, the pH value helps with stabilization and interpretation. The pH measurement process now introduced by FRITSCH

With the GSME and HOTSPOT detectors from REMBE, an artificial intelligence has been created that detects fire and explosion events at an early stage. The GSME detector is an artificial nose, ”trained” for pyrolysis - popularly known as smoldering gases, while the HOTSPOT detector represents an artificial eye that already detects surface temperature changes of 1 ° C. REMBE´s HOTSPOT X20 measures surface temperatures using an intelligent evaluation system, which divides the field of view into detection zones. A separate temperature threshold value can be set for each individual zone in order to tailor the detection to the process as far as possible. The HOTSPOT X20 can even identify small temperature increases (1°C) and enables to warn the operator of a fire or glowing embers at extremely early stages. The HOTSPOT X20 can also be used in explosion atmosphere up to zone 20 and under high dust loads and monitors a temperature range in the standard version of 0-200°C (higher temperatures possible, but typically not required). Mainly hydrocarbon compounds are released when many substances thermally decompose.

Poeth Solids Processing developed a mixer to fit a low space. A three metre long bottom valve ensures 100% residue free discharge. For one of our long-term customers who specialises in baking raw materials, Poeth custom-made a 4 m3 single-shaft agitator. The company had an old belt mixer, but it no longer met current requirements such as residue-free, mixing accuracy and mixing time. The new mixer had to fit into the existing space. All single-axis paddle mixers available on the market were rejected. Poeth Solids Processing was asked to look for a solution and developed a bespoke mixer specifically for this application. The use of a 3 metre long bottom valve ensures 100% residue free discharge. This bottom valve is placed along the entire length of the trough, from end plate to end plate. No edges where the product can remain after the batch has been discharged. Together with the customer, the system was extensively tested for issues such as tightness, homogeneity and mixing time. After this successful FAT test, the entire mixing system will be assembled on site in a few weeks. We

an important contribution to the health of employees Noise in the workplace not only has serious health consequences, such as damage to the inner ear, headaches, dizziness and even concentration and sleep disorders, but it also affects productivity. In order to keep operational noise levels as low as possible, singold gerätetechnik offers a range of solutions, all of which have been carefully thought out down to the last detail. The pneumatic knocker from singold only knocks when required – this in itself is a contribution to noise protection. But by adding specialised accessories and using a special construction of the pneumatic knocker, sound emissions can be reduced even further. Sound insulation hood The sound insulation hood is put over the pneumatic knocker and, if present, the solenoid control valve, and screwed to the knocker. It is equipped with a rubber bushing for the compressed air hose and a silencer for the rinsing air. Towards the silo wall, a rubber edge protector reduces the sound. It adapts

The company, which specialises in optimising belt conveyor systems and is known for its contactless AirScrape skirting for conveyor transfer points. i In theory, belt conveyors in the mining and quarrying industry are ideal “candidates” for implementing concepts of operating condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. The belts run continuously, the environmental conditions are unfavourable (dust, humidity, day/night temperature changes etc.). There are typical irregularities (skewing, dropping) and also characteristic damage patterns (uneven wear, belt cracks etc.). And the need for continuous condition monitoring is also given – after all, in most cases there is no alternative or redundant system that can quickly take over the task of material transport in the event of a belt stop. Desire: practical operating condition monitoring Nevertheless, the solutions for condition monitoring that have been available on the market up to now are, strictly speaking, only partial solutions. The classic is an electromechanical belt-alignment switch with a two-stage signal. If the belt runs off-centre in a defined

Spiral jetmills enable ultra-fine products with dry processing. The Spiral Type Jetmill of PMT-Jetmill is specialized in optimizing air streams to improve efficiencies and to minimize energy consumption. One application example is Talc. The material is fed pneumatically to the spiral jetmill and runs spirally through the milling chamber. Grinding media enters the area through the milling nozzles. Grinding media is either compressed air (3.5 to 15 bar and 240°C) or superheated steam (up to 24 bar and 400°C). The air stream fluidizes the material-bed and lifts as much particles as possible into the stream. Comminution is mainly based on shearing forces which result from velocity differences. The integrated dynamic classifier is capable to run at a maximum circumferential speed of 190 m/s. As soon as the particles reach a certain fineness, they can pass the classifier to the final product. The fineness can be easily adjusted by variation of the classifier speed. One application example is Talc: Sample 1: * 9200 rpm classifier speed * Particle size: d50 = 0,7 µm (Sedigraph) * Particle size: d97 = 3,3 µm (Sedigraph) Sample 2: * 6800 rpm classifier speed * Particle size: d50 = 1,0 µm (Sedigraph) *

Years of experience are essential for the correct design of a bulk materials processing system. But to design the system right from the start, more is needed: Tests must be carried out, and whenever possible on an industrial scale. To make this crucial step possible, Gericke operates test centres at all main locations on three continents. Shortening planning time For production-related trials, Gericke customers have access to test centres in Switzerland, France, England, The Netherlands, Brazil, USA and Singapore. These are equipped with original machines. Experienced specialists design the test arrangement individually and carry out the tests. In addition to testing individual process steps, such as a metering system, the interaction of different machines can also be tested in a practical manner. Increasing process reliability The advantage for the customer is to receive confirmation within a short time that the intended process setup delivers what it is expected

Ribbon mixers that are designed to allow bulk ingredient feeding tubes to remain connected while allowing the ribbon mixer to be opened. Come see the PerMix difference Since 1954 PerMix has been leading the industry with our mixing solutions of all types, in all industries. Our ability to combine engineering, innovation, performance, & quality while maintaining an affordable price is key to our success. Here is a perfect example of our engineering & innovation. Recently a customer needed a solution for a very complex mixing problem. The mixing process created a need for a mixer that could handle the low temperatures of dry ice, while at the same time needed to load ingredients automatically in a low overhead area. For this we created a cover that slid off the mixer instead of being hinged. This also allowed for the flex tubing of the ingredient feeders to remain attached. The mixer also featured PerMix’s ”Stub-Shaft Design” which is a total hygienic design. Come see the PerMix difference

Using the microwave measuring systems from Berthold Technologies, concentration, dry matter, or moisture content can be measured online in a wide variety of products in the ongoing process at shafts, pipelines, or containers. From the food and chemical industries to power stations and mines - the areas of application for our microwave measuring systems are manifold. The choice of sensors and technical features, such as height, measurement dynamics, multi-frequency technology, user-friendly software, etc., is appropriately large. With the microwave systems from Berthold, you can measure liquids, suspensions, pastes, granulates, powders and bulk solids online. The measuring principle The MicroPolar measuring systems use the special dielectric property of water. The measuring system generates microwaves that interact with the water molecules. This interaction causes an attenuation of the microwave energy, which can be detected as phase shift and attenuation. Since the phase shift and attenuation change is directly proportional to the water content, the concentration of the medium can be determined with high accuracy. Berthold’s multi-frequency technology ensures very stable and reliable

Saving energy and resources through precise mass flow measurement in the processing of the agricultural product corn. Our customer from the food industry prepares corn for resale after harvesting. For this purpose, the corn is first washed and dried, then stored. The agricultural product is delivered by trucks and unloaded into a drum conveyor. From there, the corn is transported via a bucket elevator into an inclined DN150 pipe, which leads the product via a conveyor belt into the washing process. The customer‘s goal is to be able to better control the washing process and automatically adapt it to the quantity conveyed in order to optimise the addition of water and detergent and save energy. For this purpose, the quantity of corn conveyed must be measured. PROCESS DATA * Customer: Food producer * Material: Corn * Throughput: 7-40 t/h * Conveying device: Drum feeder and bucket elevator * Installation: In a slide * Function: Measurement of the quantity of corn conveyed to optimise the washing process SOLUTION Previously, corn was measured with an impact weighing system,
