Easy to install, reliable, controls even for reversible belts New technologies developed have allowed for a much simpler example of a mass imbalance activated tracker. This design uses a flexible coupling in the centre pivot, rather than a fixed axis shaft at 45°. This allows for completely 360° free motion about the centre of the tracker, which has created an inherently reversible design. The steering of the roller is activated by additional mass and friction to one side of the roller, which drags the roller drum forward and steers the belt back to centre. Results in the field have shown there is no downside to this design compared with the fixed axis design, and it has been found that the rubber coupling is a more reliable unit, due to its simplicity and given it is not affected by contamination like a conventional greased bearing.

Short film documentary on the Coperion K-Tron ActiFlow™ bulk solid activator. This clever device prevents bridging and ratholing of bulk material being discharged from a hopper by a feeder in an industrial manufacturing process. Owing to its tight integration with the feeder control it acts preventatively and only when required and thus does not additionally compact the bulk material. Furthermore it is completely non-product-contact and maintenance free which makes it especially suitable for food or pharma applications.

Explosion isolation is absolutely essential for comprehensive explosion protection. Without isolation, an explosion safety concept is not only incomplete, but is also a waste of money for operators as: In almost every production facility, individual plant components are interconnected by means of pipelines. The purpose of explosion isolation is to seal these pipelines in the event of an explosion to prevent the propagation of pressure and flames, thereby protecting the adjacent plant components. Precompression and flame jet ignition increase the severity of the explosion in the connected vessels. This leads to secondary explosions that can cause even more catastrophic damage.Isolation systems prevent an explosion from propagating, thereby reducing the effects of the explosion to a minimum. Adjacent system components are optimally protected. Explosion Isolation System Q-Bic The explosion isolation system Q-Bic registers the emerging explosion and extinguishes the developing explosion flames within milliseconds by applying the extinguishing powder. The extinguishing powder is optimally distributed in the pipeline via a nozzle system and guarantees reliable isolation.

With the development of the new ASK.AH suction box, Siloanlagen Achberg offers the possibility of removing angel hair from plastic granulate. The new suction box with angel hair grid is attached to the outlet of silos or flexible silos. The unwanted angel hair is held back by a grid sieve (angel hair grid) integrated in the flow, which is fixed in a lockable drawer with sight glass. To empty the grid sieve, the drawer can be pulled out and the angel hair can be removed. The suction box has a modular design. Different connection flanges are available for attaching the suction box to the silo outlet. Up to four suction pipes with diameters from Ø 38 mm to Ø 84 mm can be attached. Suction boxes with more suction points are already being planned. How is angel hair created? Angel hair occurs during the pneumatic conveying of plastic granulates when the surface of the plastic granulate is damaged during transport through the conveying lines. Supported by a high conveying speed and a high conveying air temperature, the initially slight damages then form long plastic threads, which can lead to problems during

The latest generation of dynamic image analyzers in the CAMSIZER series offers a groundbreaking innovation in particle characterization. The CAMSIZER 3D enables a true three-dimensional measurement of the sample. It boasts a unique particle tracking function: the cameras capture several individual images of different orientations of the same particle as it moves through the measurement zone. This technology ensures that the true size and shape values are recorded. Especially for the length measurement of stretched particles (e. g. extrudates) this is a decisive advantage compared to conventional 2D particle analysis, where the particles are captured in arbitrary orientation and do not show their ”true” length. Moreover, the 3D method offers significantly better accuracy for detecting defective or broken particles.

Energy efficient transport of poor flowing precipitated calcium carbonate for sealant production Gericke has delivered a material handling system for the storage, batching and pneumatic transport of various types of calcium carbonate powders to several mixers. For the production of adhesives and sealants different types of calcium carbonate powders have to be delivered in the correct amounts to the mixers. In addition to ground calcium carbonate powder that can be characterised with mostly free flowing properties, also precipitated calcium carbonate powder have to be handled. Due to the sub-micron particles of the precipitated calcium carbonate these powders are very challenging to handle as they are very cohesive and exhibit poor flowing performance. Extensive trials were initially performed with various types of calcium carbonate powders in the Gericke test centre to evaluate the best pneumatic conveying conditions allowing an energy efficient and safe transport of the powders over 70 – 130m of conveying distance with minimal residues. As a result, the

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 Kaolin. 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 Kaolin: Sample 1: * 9700 rpm classifier speed * Particle size: d50 = 2,0 µm (after Sympatec Helos) * Particle size: d97 = 5,2 µm (after Sympatec Helos) Sample 2: * 7700 rpm classifier speed * Particle
