RHEWUM supports aid association for meals at local schools
Employees of RHEWUM collected donations for a good cause during the pre-Christmas season As in past years, the employees of RHEWUM collected donations for a good cause during the pre-Christmas season and thereby help to ensure that children from low-income families at the local schools in Remscheid get a healthy breakfast and lunch. Since 2006, the association known as “Möhrchen” (=baby carrot) has supported children at primary and secondary schools as well as schools for children with learning difficulties whose parents cannot afford their meals. By offering a balanced breakfast and warm lunch, these children have the opportunity to attend the classes with much more concentration and power. This year, “Mörchen” became 11 years old and can be proud of having enabled 1 million meals to children in Remscheid. Like in the year 2016, RHEWUM’s staff has collected eagerly for this local association. The donation has been doubled by the management so that a sum of 2,000 euros can be given to the children at Remscheid’s schools.

High efficiency palletising for the discounters at IPN George Page, Production Director at IPN said, “The whole system has been a great success.
High efficiency palletising for the discounters at IPN
George Page, Production Director at IPN said, “The whole system has been a great success. Inspired Pet Nutrition recently invested in an innovative de-palletising and re-palletising system, the first of its kind in the UK, provided by Concetti of Umbria, Italy. Concetti has long experience in dry petfood markets. The new system meets the needs of discount retailers where tight cost control, keen prices and a limited range of quality products are uppermost. It meets two key objectives. For half pallet loads with absolutely minimal handling in the distribution channels and in-store and crucially, for each half pallet to contain two different products. Normally, single product pallets are broken into different pack and product sizes at the retailer’s own distribution centres before being shipped in consolidated loads to sales outlets. To avoid this, the discounters wanted half Euro pallets, also known as Düsseldorfers, containing a mix of two different products in similar pack sizes, and capable of being displayed in store. The new system satisfies

Improvement of the Corrosion Resistance
Entrapment of Hard Particles into Cr(VI)-Free Conversion Layers Due to the restriction of passive layers containing Cr6+ [1], which were characterized by excellent corrosion protection due to their self-healing effect for scratches on metal surfaces, current corrosion protection systems consist of chromium (III) -containing thick layer passivation. Due to their lower hardness, current corrosion protection systems are susceptible to mechanical stress. This is particularly critical at barrel plating of screws, rivets etc. where the manufacturing process leads to damages of the corrosion protection layer and consequently to reduced corrosion resistance. To counter this problem, we point out one approach to install hard particles into the passivation layer. The entrapment of the hard particles into the passivation is detected by Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometry. Comparative investigations in the corrosion chamber prove the improvement of the corrosion protection of steel parts with passivation layers containing hard particles

Gericke completes Vacuum Conveying Product Line
Gericke completes Vacuum Conveying Product Line
To further strengthen its position as a leading system and component provider in the powder processing industry, Gericke announces the addition of an ejector driven range of vacuum conveying solutions. In addition to the established and broad range of pneumatic conveying systems, Gericke now also covers all needs in vacuum conveying. Vacuum is used with great advantage in conveying dry powder products over distances of up to 30m through dedicated pipe systems, and for many different materials. When producing food, pharmaceuticals and chemical products there are additional demands on the highest possible degree of safety as well as for hygiene and operation. These conveyors have been developed as an answer to the severe requirements of operational safety and hygiene in those industries. The conveyors are ATEX dust certified, some versions are additionally gas certified. All conveyors are available with either an ejector driven vacuum pump or with a mechanical pump. Like

Hosokawa Micron B.V. acquires ASME U-Stamp certificate
Hosokawa Micron B.V. acquires ASME U-Stamp certificate
Hosokawa Micron B.V. are proud to have been certified as an ASME U-Stamp authorized manufacturer for the manufacture of pressure vessels. The ASME Certification Mark, which is regarded as the hallmark of acceptance and certification, is used to indicate that the stamped item(s) conform to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes (BPVCs). The company may use the label, demonstrating compliance with laws and regulations in almost all states of the USA and Canadian provinces. In Europe, the ASME code is often prescribed as part of a contract for supplying pressure equipment. Outside Europe, the code is a must. Hosokawa Micron B.V. already were certified to produce pressure vessels according to AD-2000 HPO and ISO 3834-2 since 2015. Now that the company is also ASME certified, they are allowed to put UM stamps on pressure vessels up to 140 liters themselves at their production facility in the Netherlands. Larger vessels have to be certified individually by an independent

Packed fragrances provided a fresh breeze
Spray granulation, (micro) encapsulation and spray coating of flavors and fragrances At the Berlin Congress of the European Professional Association SEPAWA, plant manufacturer Glatt Ingenieurtechnik presented case studies and project examples for processing, protecting and refining cleansing substances, stabilizers, enzymes, polymers, scent, flavoring and other active ingredients. Glatt’s fluidized bed and spouted bed plants are multi-talents in particle design: they granulate, coat, dry and functionalize powders and liquids in a single step. In an industry that lives up to new standards, the fluidized bed and spouted bed technologies of the plant manufacturer Glatt Ingenieurtechnik offer unique opportunities: They contribute to optimizing raw materials for new formulations, help to ensure functions and protect valuable ingredients. They improve the solubility and make sure that ingredients are homogeneously distributed in particles with a broad, precisely adjustable grain size spectrum. In addition, enhanced substances can be compacted and dosed

Fresh ideas in particle and dispersion sciences Nominated for LUM Young Scientist Award 2018
Fresh ideas in particle and dispersion sciences
Nominated for LUM Young Scientist Award 2018 The 8th International Conference Dispersion Analysis & Materials Testing is hosted by LUM GmbH in Berlin, Germany, from 29-30 January 2018. Here, during this now traditional interdisciplinary event, particle scientists meet product formulators; application engineers meet scholars from extremely different application areas. All have in common the use of STEP-Technology® for particle and dispersion characterization respectively the use of CAT-Technology® for the timesaving determination of adhesion forces and composite strength. Both technologies developed by LUM. Once again, one highlight of the event will be the session dedicated to Young Scientist Award 2018. This prize is donated by LUM GmbH for outstanding scientific achievements in the fields of particle and dispersion analysis and materials testing. From all applicants the best four candidates were nominated and invited to discuss their results during the conference. Sophie Kühne from TU Bergakademie Freiberg
