Industrial dust emissions threaten health, safety, and compliance. Big bag and bag compactors offer a powerful, closed-system solution to eliminate dust during packaging disposal while boosting operational efficiency. In industrial environments where bulk materials and packaged raw materials are processed, dust emissions remain a continuous challenge. Not only from the perspective of occupational safety and health, but also regarding product loss, environmental impact and compliance with regulations. Big bag and bag compactors provide a practical and effective solution for controlled processing of residual materials and empty packaging while significantly reducing dust dispersion. The Challenge of Residual Dust in Packaging Disposal When emptying bags and big bags, residual material is often released and spreads through the area in the form of fine dust. Traditional handling methods, where empty packaging is manually disposed of, increase the risk of dust-related problems. In these situations, compactors offer clear added value. By compressing empty bags and big bags directly after use in a closed system, dust emissions are reduced to a minimum. Specialized Compression for…

Poeth introduces its Inline Belt Weighing System, designed to provide real-time material flow data in harsh industrial environments. High accuracy and seamless integration ensure process stability where every ton counts. In bulk material handling, insight into material flow is not optional—it is essential. Whether in mining, recycling, cement, or food processing, operators rely on accurate and continuous weighing data to keep processes stable, efficient, and under control. Conveyor belt weighing systems (belt weighers) are a proven solution to measure material flow directly on the conveyor. By providing real-time data without interrupting the process, they form a critical link between production and process control. Engineering Precision for Real-World Accuracy In practice, achieving reliable weighing results on a conveyor is not just about placing a scale under a belt. External influences such as vibrations, belt tension, material build-up, and environmental conditions all impact measurement accuracy. A well-designed belt weighing system combines robust mechanics with high-quality signal processing. At the core of the system, a dedicated weighing controller translates load cell…

Poeth built a new, high-precision automated dosing system designed for ultra-low dust emissions and seamless ERP integration. To meet the rising global demand for natural ingredients, a leading biotechnology firm has scaled its production of enzyme blends for the flour and bakery sectors. This expansion centers on a new, high-precision automated dosing system designed for ultra-low dust emissions and seamless ERP integration. Overcoming Complex Engineering Challenges The project demanded a delicate balance between extreme precision and rigorous safety standards. Key technical requirements included achieving a dosing accuracy of ±5 grams while maintaining dust emissions below 0.6 mg/m³. Furthermore, the solution had to be retrofitted into a space-constrained facility, requiring a design that facilitated easy cleaning and integrated both bulk flour handling and liquid dosing into existing mixing processes. Advanced Dust Containment and Ergonomics To protect operators from airborne particulates, the system utilizes dust-controlled bag dumping stations featuring laminar airflow. This…

Consistent product quality is essential in the bulk solids and powder handling industry. Variations in composition, segregation during transport, or uneven feeding can negatively impact the homogeneity of the final product. By integrating a Z-Conveyor into your process, the mixing performance of your silo can be significantly improved. The principle is simple yet highly effective: a controlled portion of the silo discharge is recirculated via the Z-Conveyor and reintroduced into the incoming product stream. This creates a first stage of homogenization before the material even enters the silo. As a result, differences in product properties are equalized at an early stage. This continuous recirculation contributes to a more stable process and reduces the risk of segregation—especially important when handling materials with varying particle sizes, densities, or moisture levels. The result is a more consistent, homogeneous end product and improved control over process…

Maximize shelf life and prevent fat oxidation with Poeth Solids Processing’s automated MAP technology. Our turnkey system uses vacuum and nitrogen flushing to ensure superior product stability for sensitive powders. The Science of Shelf-Life Extension In the food industry, Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is increasingly essential for preserving product integrity. This technology is particularly vital in the dairy sector for milk powders containing unsaturated fats, where the primary objective is to arrest the oxidation process. By significantly reducing oxygen exposure, manufacturers can maintain flavor profiles and nutritional value over much longer periods than traditional packaging methods allow. Combating Oxidation with Precision Fat oxidation is a direct result of oxygen exposure; therefore, displacing oxygen is the most effective way to protect sensitive goods. Most modern applications replace ambient air with pure nitrogen or a specialized nitrogen-carbon dioxide blend. This substitution creates a stable internal environment that protects the product from the chemical degradation that typically occurs during storage and transport. Vacuum Technology and Inert Gas…
