Hosokawa Alpine presents solution for textile recycling

Hosokawa Alpine Hosokawa Alpine is a worldwide leader and innovative machine and plant manufacturer with its headquarters in Augsburg and a branch office in Leingarten. The company also maintains several subsidiaries in Germany and abroad. The core competencies of Hosokawa Alpine are, on the one hand in mechanical process engineering operations for the manufacture of machines and systems used in processing powders, granulates and bulk materials, and on the other hand in film extrusion operations for the manufacture and finishing of blown film. The company employs approximately 840 people and generated an annual sales volume of roughly 230 million euros in the 2021/2022 fiscal year. The company’s export ratio is around 80 percent. Since 1987, the company has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the Japanese Hosokawa Micron Corporation.

The Picoline from Hosokawa Alpine has been setting standards in research and development for several years. It is now even more flexible, even more versatile, even safer The Picoline from Hosokawa Alpine has been setting standards in research and development for several years. The Augsburg-based machine and plant manufacturer has already sold more than 100 units of the modular system for processing very small quantities of powder. Now the Picoline has been updated - with numerous advantages for users. New: Separation of process platform and control system The Picoline is a solution for fine grinding, classifying or mixing powders in laboratories. Whether grinding processes from coarse to pre-grinding to ultra-fine grinding, the operation of a small batch mixer, a mechanofusion process, mechanochemistry or pure classifying tasks - this master of flexibility is truly versatile. The small system consists of a process platform, a platform controller, numerous function modules and accessories. The new feature is the separation of the control and work unit. By separating the control and work units, both parts can be positioned independently

The Augsburg-based machine and plant manufacturer Hosokawa Alpine is focusing on processing rare earths for permanent magnets in various applications. Hosokawa Alpine, a global leader in process technology, is expanding its innovative solutions in the processing of rare earths. The materials are then used in high-performance electric motors and other cutting-edge applications. The company is therefore making an important contribution to advancing issues such as electromobility, aviation and wind turbines. High-quality magnets made from rare earths for innovative applications Rare earth magnets, especially neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) and samarium cobalt (SmCo) alloys, are essential components for electric motors used in electric vehicles, household appliances and industrial machinery. They also play an important role in electronics, medical devices (MRI) and renewable energy technologies. However, new challenges will have to be overcome if the increasingly important rare earths are to be processed with precision. Hurdles in processing rare earths ’At Hosokawa Alpine, we are working hard to expand our AFG-R

Let’s talk: New video series from Hosokawa Alpine providing insights into the future of battery technology Talking together and peering into the future – that’s what the new ’Let’s talk’ video series from Hosokawa Alpine is all about. The Augsburg-based machine and plant manufacturer, which specialises in mechanical process engineering and blown film extrusion, is hosting short panel discussions with industry and research experts on current and future-oriented topics relevant to the industry. Talk show on battery technology How can manufacturers scale their battery production? Are there alternatives to lithium-ion batteries? And how can battery manufacturers recycle production waste during the manufacturing process? In the first series of three episodes, the experts address these questions on battery technology. Just like on an actual TV talk show, they sit together and casually chat about the topics in these 15-minute videos. They examine the issues from a variety of angles, but viewers themselves can draw their own conclusions from the talks. ”With ’Let’s

Efficient processes from the Hosokawa Micron Group for the production of alternative proteins Proteins are a vital macronutrient. Since the human body does not have a protein store, our body cells must be regularly supplied with proteins. Global population growth is increasing the demand for it worldwide. ”In the long term, demand will no longer be able to be met with animal products alone. Moreover, alternative proteins are urgently needed due to climate protection,” concludes Alexander Langer, Deputy Head of Sales at Hosokawa Alpine, summarising the state of the current discussion. Alternative sources of proteins are plants, insects or residual streams in the food industry. Hosokawa Alpine and the entire Hosokawa Micron Group have developed the appropriate technologies for this. Protein-rich special flours through dry fractionation As an alternative to animal protein, vegetable protein plays a central role. New possibilities for obtaining plant proteins are opening up from sources such as wheat, rye, oats, barley, soya, peas, lentils or other cereals
