Air-supported belt conveyor for cost-efficient material handling

Poeth specialises in high-quality machines and production lines for processing a broad range of dry materials. We develop, produce, and install all our machines and carry out all our projects with our own staff, allowing us to provide flexible and affordable tailor-made solutions for our clients. First established in 1921, we have acquired a rich store of knowledge and experience in the agricultural and industrial sectors, and we are now a leading player in production processes for the feed, food, brewery, and bulk industrial sectors. Industries Poeth develops, produces, erects and commissions, sophisticated machinery and production lines for various processes in solids handling. Our knowledge and experience is mainly based on agri-industrial processes, since 1921. Applications of Poeth machinery and process experience are found in food processing as well as f.i. in recycling of bio-mass. An important product is an extensive program of industrial dust-filters. Products Technological Solutions for Solids Processing: Our product range includes high-quality technology and service solutions for the handling, conveying and processing in different industries. We consult and support our clients during decisions on important investments with knowhow and experience. With our advanced filter program we help you to solve emission problems. Experience is available for a wide range of dusty products.

Three huge cooling screw heat exchangers with a diameter of 800 mm for a HVC drinking water treatment plant Poeth Solids Processing is currently busy with the construction of a turnkey project for HVC drinking water treatment plant Alkmaar in the Netherlands. Last month our professionals have been busy producing 3 huge cooling screw heat exchangers with a diameter of 800 mm. Our test facility in Tegelen, together with a mathematical model, forms the basis for the final design of the cooling screw heat exchangers. On-site installation is currently underway. The screw heat exchangers are widely used in circular projects. Many valuable waste streams are dried and come out of a dryer at a high temperature. After drying, the product often needs to be cooled back down so that it can be safely filled e.g. a silo, big-bag or bulk truck.

Dust emission when folding big-bags is avoided by using a big-bag compactor with an integrated compressed-air cleaned filter Big-bags are increasingly being used in the processing of raw materials. After big-bags are emptied, they are often folded. During folding, dust is generated. This dust emission can be avoided by using a big-bag compactor with an integrated compressed-air cleaned filter. The Poeth big bag compactor, is specially developed for dust-free compression and packaging of empty big-bags in clean rooms. The space inside the compactor is so large that the big-bag fits neatly inside it without folding. The amount of waste is reduced to a minimum. At the end, the empty big-bags are packed dust-proof in an endless film. The integrated filter is suitable for very different powders: from very fine to very sticky. A secondary HEPA filter can be placed behind the filter. Whether mobile or not, the unit is equipped with its own control/control box. Conventional bag compactors used to compact empty big bags often get stuck because big bags are much stiffer than empty bags.

Nuts such as blanched almonds and apricot kernels require customized detail solutions. For Poeth Solids Processing, customization is almost an everyday occurrence, and recently realized a complete process line consisting of : Big-Bag Octabin filling line Pneumatic conveying system Sifting system Weighing screw conveyors Screw conveyors Silo hoppers Filter Especially cleanability, breakage and smearing due to high fat content require extra attention. A special sieving system was developed in consultation with the client especially for this application. Sifting this fatty product is not possible with traditional vibrating screen machines.

Carbon Black Powdered carbon black is a very fine fluid-like powder with an extremely low bulk density. These fine powders, often referred to as “fluff,” can be challenging to handle and convey. Care must be taken to avoid the powder caking and clogging the conveyor, resulting in downtime and increased safety hazards during maintenance and cleaning. Additionally, finely powdered carbon black can easily become airborne, making controlling dust emissions of utmost importance. The Poeth Z-Conveyor is ideal due to low speed conveying (< 1 m/s) and very and a very low air displacement flow rate, and therefor ATEX safe without additional facilities Silica and Graphite Silica and Graphite are very fine and can pass through filter cloths. Since the product is harmful when inhaled, it is important to minimize the amount of air movement. The Z-Conveyor moves the least air volume compared to all other vertical conveyors. Due to the minimal clearances, the conveyor

Poeth has introduced a cutting-edge mixing plant in Nazareth Belgium, delivering exceptional efficiency and meeting the highest quality standards. Having recently completed a successful project for baking ingredients, Escaut Valley quickly opted for Poeth’s expertise. The project required a solution that could accommodate limited height and minimize the number of components and machines. Poeth addressed these challenges with a well-thought-out design, focusing on clean-ability and accessibility. Ingredients are conveyed pneumatically from a bag emptying cabinet to the mixer, while a check weigher ensures precise batch contents. A vibrating sieve and metal detector guarantee the mixture is free from foreign bodies. Testing and commissioning The test facility at Poeth features a twin-shaft paddle mixer with liquid addition. Atomized nozzles finely distribute the liquid over the fluidized powder bed, achieving a dry mix homogeneity of 1:100,000 within 50 seconds. Thanks to meticulous preparation during the engineering phase, the assembly and commissioning were completed swiftly. Quality through leading-edge
