Achberg optimizes slide valves

Welcome to ACHBERG ... ...an innovative developer and manufacturer of high-quality products for bulk material handling in the plastics industry. We proudly look back on the successful growth of our company and will continue to expand our position in the global market together with our partners. We mainly specialise in the plastics industry, but our pipe systems (ACHBERG pipe systems) and custom production parts (ACHBERG production) are also used successfully in other industries. The plastics industry is where we got started. We can draw from over 20 years of experience in injection moulding, film and profile extrusion, blow moulding, compounding and recycling. Above all, we see ourselves as a reliable partner for mechanical and plant engineering companies around the world. To be an ACHBERG partner means to benefit from innovative products and dedicated services. We develop and improve products that can give you a competitive edge for the long term. Our three pillars of business are metal processing (stainless steel, steel and aluminium), electrical engineering and silo plant construction. Our company premises span a total area of approx. 21,500 m². The total area of the production and storage halls is approx. 7,400 m² without the covered open space of approx. 1,600 m². We employ around 70 permanent staff. The annual turnover is approx. 20 million euros.

Siloanlagen Achberg will present a broad product range of new and established products related to bulk material storage and handling at this year’s FAKUMA. The focus will be on the new silo control user interface, the mobile mixing container and the new slide valve with optional end position monitoring. The latest version of the silo control user interface, which is specially developed for the plastics industry, offers more intuitive operating options and an optimized design. As a result, warning and fault messages are visualized more clearly and the registration of parameters is simplified. The new slide valves with optional end position monitoring closes and opens pipelines reliably and over the full cross-section even during conveying. The slide valves are installed in material and vacuum lines. The optional end position monitoring reliably checks the position of the slider plate and sends a corresponding signal to the higher-level control system. The mobile mixing container is a new solution for mixing and intermediate storage of bulk materials. It is mobile and can therefore be used flexibly. The container

Siloanlagen Achberg has designed a user-friendly and powerful suction probe with gradual regulation of the suction air, to ensure the proper solids to air ratio for pneumatic conveying. To expand the market-renowned suction probe range, Siloanlagen Achberg has designed a user-friendly and powerful suction probe with gradual regulation of the suction air. As is generally known, suction conveying begins when the bulk material enters the material line. Here it is important that the ratio of bulk material and conveying air can be optimally adjusted. ”The single-walled suction probe with the designation SGL.1B was designed precisely for this purpose,” says the manufacturer. Another advantage: the lance is a cost-effective alternative to the double-walled suction probe . The focus is on the sliding sleeve, which is easy to lock in place by means of a locking bolt. With a total of 6 graduations, the conveying air can be optimally adjusted and documented for the respective application. In practice, it has been shown that even larger throughputs of plastic granulate can be realised reliably, especially for small to medium distances. Achberg manufactures
