The EN 15051 standard and the DIN 55992 (Heubach) are the European standardized methods for the determination of dust generated by the handling of powders, granules, tablets, etc. These emissions tend to generate human diseases or cause other environmental effects. Depending on the methodology, the overall dustiness is assessed in mg/kg or when the more advanced methodology is used, the dust released can be classified into the inhalable, thoracic and respirable fraction associated with a different risk assessment. Following recent EU regulations, also the fraction of particles with an aerodynamic diameter < 10 micrometers can be assessed using one of these methods.

The Gericke FEEDOS® S series is the newest member of Gericke’s volumetric feeder family. It combines high-accuracy volumetric feeding with a modular and compact design that allows for quick disassembly and easy cleaning. Its optimised geometry guarantees stable and reliable product flow - even for bulk materials which are difficult to handle, such as cohesive or easily fluidisable powders.

Rotor - stator high shear mixing technology are used to disperse one phase or ingredient into a main continuous phase

In industries where very precise conditions are required, the High-Care Big Bag Filling System is the solution. With high-quality technology developed by Dinnissen, the Big Bags are filled hygienically in ultra-clean cleanrooms. Dirt-sensitive pallets are kept outside these cleanrooms. During the filling process, the Big Bags are transported through a special guide system, minimizing their contact with any kind of contamination.

Volkmann stationary and mobile hoists simplify the handling and positioning of vacuum conveyors above the machines or bins which have to be fed with material. The vacuum conveyor can be brought into position, connected dust-free, powder tight, and free of forces induced to the system below the conveyor, which might be critical to the process stability like with tablet presses or filling machines. Mounted on a mobile hoist, one vacuum conveyor can be used most flexible to feed material into various machines, one after the other. With a hoist, getting the conveyor down from the machine for cleaning and maintenance is an ease, no tools are required for (dis-)assembly. The handling and positioning of a vacuum conveyor above a container, bin or production machine can be made easier by use of a stationary or mobile hoist. Volkmann hoists are lightweight and easy manouverable. Solutions and benefits: One Vacuum Conveyor to feed into different systems Quick, comfortable and hygienic operation and handling pneumatic, electric or manual operation hyginic versions (pharma design) customized connections and docking solutions available designed and manufactured from Volkmann in Germany

Upon receipt of an activation signal from the Fike EPACO™ explosion protection system, the high rate discharge (HRD) container assembly discharges explosion suppressant powder into the protected volume. The powder chemically extinguishes the combustion reaction preventing pressure increase beyond a predetermined limit.

This heat exchanger has multiple tubes to transport the product. The product flows through the inner tubes and the service fluid flows through the surrounding tube.

With the HUCKEPACK, Dr Karl Busch developed the first vacuum pump for the vacuum packaging of foodstuffs. This was a revolution of the packaging industry. Furthermore, HUCKEPACK once-through oil-lubricated rotary vane vacuum pumps are the ideal choice for particularly complex processes. For decades, they have proven themselves in the toughest of applications. Where other technologies failed, the HUCKEPACK demonstrated its robustness and operational reliability. Depending on process conditions, this vacuum pump can last for decades with only minimal maintenance. The unbreakable vacuum solution for the toughest of applications! - Durable construction - Hard-wearing, highly resilient vanes - Reliable fresh oil lubricating system - Effective cooling - Customizable

Matcon has been delivering high quality, powder handling systems since 1980.

The patented IKB® is the result of the continuous leadership in rupture disc excellence. This trendsetting design combines both, state-of-the-art laser treatment technology and REMBE®’s unique imperfection method (IPV) to influence the material structure of the device in positive manner. Contrary to traditional scored rupture discs, which open always in petals reducing the free net flow area, the unique IKB® offers full bore opening and maximized discharge area. The risk of fragmenting petals is perfectly eliminated. Its enhanced performance values over ordinary and old-fashioned scored discs makes the IKB® a smash hit for process applications which are price-sensitive on the one but quality demanding on the other hand. No other single layer rupture disc parallels the IKB® when it comes to cost of ownership and safety level.

The INADCO Densimeter is a bulk density meter that consist of 3 major parts. A measuring module and a motor module. Both attached to a sub-frame. The sampler module is an electronic driven shovel that rotates trough a falling product stream and in that way collecting a small sample of product. The measuring module consist of a cylinder with the same volume as the cylinder used in the manual EN12580 method. The measuring cylinder is mounted on a weighing cell. With adjustable scoop rotation, the sampler takes samples from a vertical product flow. The shovel shall bring the collected sample toward the measuring cylinder where it will be obstructed so it shall fall in the measuring cylinder with zero vertical velocity as a starting speed. The sample taking will be repeated until the measuring cylinder is completely filled. The sample taking will pause and after the calculation of the Bulk Density the shovel shall rotate over the measuring cylinder to open the bottom. All the collected sample will slide out the cylinder back into the main product stream. The shovel shall rotate back closing the bottom and starts again with the sampling. The time consumption of the sampling, calculation and emptying is around 60 seconds resulting in a measurement every 3-5 m³ of product. A much higher rate compared to the manual method.
