At this working trade fair, experienced companies and innovative start-ups present a wide range of technological solutions for the production and processing of powders, granulates, bulk solids, fluids and liquids for industries of all kinds. Powtech Technopharm is the gateway to the European market and provides a comprehensive look at the latest developments and industry-specific trends. For exhibitors and visitors from numerous user industries, including the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and feed industries, building and non-metallic minerals, ceramics, glass, mechanical engineering and plant construction, recycling and the environment, as well as cosmetics and batteries, Powtech Technopharm provides the perfect platform for sharing information on process and unit operations and GxP-compliant production. Powtech Technopharm is held in Nuremberg in September, with a break every third year. The next edition in conjunction with PARTEC Congress and co-located with Fachpack will take place from 23 to 25 September 2025.

The global food supply chain is undergoing significant changes. With the world’s population growing, the demand for food, especially proteins, is increasing. This demand cannot be met solely by animal proteins due to the extensive land required for livestock and water usage. Additionally, consumers are increasingly demanding sustainable production methods. Therefore, alternative protein sources obtained from plants, mushrooms, insects as well algae or bacteria fermented biomass are crucial for future needs and are intensively investigated nowadays. A well-established source are plant-based proteins. Focusing on the production of meat alternatives, protein isolates from soy with a protein content > 80 % are the means of choice as major ingredient therefore – mostly obtained through diverse wet extraction methods. But due to ongoing developments in dry fractionation technologies and seed breeding, the process has become an energy-efficient method to produce

Recycling and the sustainable use of valuable raw materials are playing an increasingly important role in the area of rare earth magnets. Rare earth alloys and the permanent magnets made from them are becoming increasingly important as the use of electromobility grows. These materials are of crucial importance for the efficiency and performance of electric motors, generators, and other industrial applications. To ensure the sustainable use of these valuable raw materials and at the same time protect the environment, recycling is also playing an increasingly important role in this area. Recycled magnets can be divided into two main categories: On the one hand, waste is generated during the production of magnets, and on the other hand, classic returns from electric motors, generators or other applications are recycled. Magnet waste from production is usually cutting waste from the mechanical processing of magnets. To be able to reincorporate this material into the production process, it is crucial to remove any impurities such as oxides and carbides. Electric motors and generators generally have

NETZSCH Lohnmahltechnik is pleased to announce the commissioning of two state-of-the-art grinding systems, enhancing our service offerings and providing our customers with even more options. CGS 50 Fluidized Bed Jet Mill for Low-Contamination Grinding The new CGS 50 Fluidized Bed Jet Mill has been successfully operating for a year. This system is constructed in a pressure-resistant design and is specifically approved for processing dust-explosive materials of class St 3 with < 1 mJ. Its ceramic lining allows for contamination-free processing, which is particularly advantageous for ceramic materials, battery materials, or pigments. The necessary compressed air for grinding can be regulated via a frequency-controlled compressor, ensuring energy-efficient operation. New Cryogenic Grinding System with Condux® 300 Fine Impact Mill For several months, our customers in Bobingen have had access to a cryogenic grinding system with the Condux® 300 Fine Impact Mill. This system enables cryogenic grinding at temperatures ranging from -50°C to -150 °C, allowing materials to become brittle. This is especially beneficial for the fine grinding of polymers,
