Lindor’s rotary drum mixer was configured with an advanced coating system that makes it an ideal solution for sizing delicate fibers. Such a mixer was commissioned successfully at a carbon fiber production facility in Europe. After an in-depth trial at Lindor’s Mixing Test Center in the Netherlands, the carbon fiber manufacturer selected the Lindor rotary drum coating mixer as the optimal solution for their processing line. The machine is now fully operational at their site and plays an integral role in their carbon fiber sizing process. This is a critical step in ensuring the fibers bond correctly with composite matrices in end-use applications like aerospace, civic constructions and automotive goods. Why use a rotary drum coating machine? In the fiber production industry, applying a sizing layer is essential. Sizing improves handling, protects the fiber during processing, and enhances the adhesion between the fiber and resin in composite materials. Common methods such as dip baths or kiss rollers are widely used, but each comes with limitations. This is where Lindor’s rotary drum coating mixer stands out. Due to its gentle mixing technology, the Lindor mixer provides a low-shear

Industrial sifters are used all over the world. They ensure that product qualities are maintained, foreign bodies are removed and safety standards are met. The choice of screen and machine type depends on several factors, including particle size and distribution, product sensitivity, moisture content, ATEX requirements and the desired throughput rate. Two main types of sieves are used for different powder processing requirements: centrifugal sifters and vibrating sieves. Two main types # Centrifugal sifters (also known as rotary sieves) utilise centrifugal force to move particles through a cylindrical sieve. Paddles cause the material to rotate, enabling a gentle screening process with a high throughput rate. An additional advantage is the deagglomeration of materials, which is particularly important for fine powders. These screens are ideal for applications where foreign bodies need to be removed and high product quality needs to be guaranteed at the same time. #

Ensuring an uninterrupted flow of bulk solids during pneumatic conveying The modified Camlock couplings in the MOLOScamlock series have been specially developed for the pneumatic conveying of bulk solids. The diameter of the coupling is precisely matched to the diameter of the conveying line. This means that there are no sharp edges in the passage. This prevents the formation of angel hair, especially when conveying plastic granulate. However, this new coupling offers even more advantages. The lever arm on the female coupling can be rotated freely, making it easy to position even with heavy hoses or at the coupling station. The flush-fitting sealing rings are suitable for foodstuffs, and the parts that come into contact with the bulk material are made of stainless steel.

The purpose of any packaging machine is basically always the same: to package products as efficiently and, above all, safely as possible. But how does such a packaging machine basically work? Depending on the type of packaging machine, in our case open-mouth bags or FFS (form-fill-seal) for free-flowing to powdery products, the packaging process runs differently. The basic principle is the same: # A single bag, made of woven PP, PE or paper, is placed on the filling clamp # The product is precisely filled into the bag after the product is previously weighed by a scale # It is conveyed to a closing machine. Sounds like a simple process. The complex thing about packaging machines is not the basic process, but the adjustments and precision of the components. Fully automatic packaging machines only function reliably when specific process steps are coordinated with each other. The interaction is of utmost importance here, because otherwise it could happen that a filled bag is released too early or the product flows without a bag having been attached to the filling clamp. Such scenarios must of

When it comes to lifting equipment, hydraulic and screw jacks stand out due to their different advantages and applications. Let’s find out which might be best for your specific needs. When it comes to lifting equipment, hydraulic and screw jacks stand out due to their different advantages and applications. These vehicles are crucial in industrial and construction environments because they have different mechanisms for lifting heavy loads. Let’s explore the key differences between hydraulic jacks and screw jacks to find out which might be best for your specific needs. Hydraulic Jacks: Power and Precision Hydraulic jacks operate on the principle of fluid dynamics. Using a hydraulic cylinder, these jacks effectively increase lifting capacity by converting the force exerted via a small piston into a lifting force exerted via a larger piston. This process is facilitated by hydraulic oil, which is pumped to create high pressure, which drives the piston and lifts the load. The main features of hydraulic jacks are: * High Efficiency: Hydraulic jacks with a lifting capacity of up to 750 tons allow you to easily lift heavy objects with minimal effort. *

Dust generation during the conveying, compacting and loosening of bulk materials poses a major challenge for vibration technology components. NetterVibration has added improved dust protection to its NTK series. The generation of dust when conveying, compacting, or loosening bulk materials is often unavoidable—and presents a significant challenge for the vibration technology components in use.
