E-Mobility picks up speed Flexible assembly systems for every requirement
E-Mobility picks up speed
Flexible assembly systems for every requirement Electro mobility is the definitive key technology for the sustainable transport system of the future. The policy-assisted development of E-mobility is moving in the right direction. The automotive industry and its suppliers, however still find themselves in a dilemma regarding the design and project planning of their production and assembly systems. Uncertainties in planning for volume and unknown practical values continue to be the greatest challenges. “This cutting-edge sector faces a conflict regarding the planning of assembly systems. The chosen technology must be able to flexibly adapt to increased capacities resulting from rising volume, reaching all the way up to fully automated systems. However, today’s assembly of smaller quantities must also ensure top processing reliability, because – as always in vehicle manufacture – errors in assembly are a real danger to life and limb”, explains Jürgen Hierold, Sales Manager at the machine builder DEPRAG

NETZSCH at the Anuga FoodTec
Innovative Grinding Systems for the Food Industry at the Anuga FoodTec 2018 The area of fine-grinding has a special role within the process chain in food production, as here the product determines the technology to be used as in no other processing step. The processes of grinding basically differ depending on the required final finenesses and the material structure. Whereas when processing gelatine, it is often possible to obtain the desired fineness of around 600 µm (d97) using an Impact Mill, the Chlorella algae with final finenesses of down to approx. 7.5 µm (d50) for which demand is steadily increasing in Europe, can only be obtained using High-Density Bed Jet Mills. On the other hand, for example, when sugar is ground to obtain confectioner´s sugar, which has an average final fineness of 100 µm (d90), in this case the particular focus is on the further processing of the product. This means that the grinding systems used must be particularly reliable so as not to delay the downstream processes. To meet these diverse demands the NETZSCH

EvenDos®: Accurate Feeding and Even Distribution  2 Tasks, 1 Machine
EvenDos®: Accurate Feeding and Even Distribution
2 Tasks, 1 Machine Increasing cost pressure especially in the production of consumer goods, in combination with higher complexity of recipes and production result in new requirements to processes and machines. By integrating two normally separated production steps into one machine investments can be reduced as well as space requirements. In most cases it has been common practice to separate accurate dosing and the even distribution of solid additions into two process steps, using two different machines. The combination of high precision Gericke feeders with the specifically developed EvenDos® function integrates these process steps efficiently. The key component is a special dosing tool, which allows for even distribution of the fed good over a defined distance. Application examples can be found in many different industries and processes: Food / Pet Food / Pharmaceutical In these industries ingredients like salt or seasonings are in many cases added after main processes such

Accurate dosing
New. Accurate dosing of batches of fish on the high seas. Accurate weighing on board of a seagoing fishing vessel is no sinecure. First and foremost, the ship is continuously rolling and stamping because of the waves. Furthermore, the motors, hoisting tools, winches and the like cause a plurality of vibrations with the corresponding harmonics. Using existing instrumentation, PENKO Engineering developed a weighing system with built-in compensation for all mentioned disturbing effects. This arithmetic compensation is possible due to the unmatched high measurement speed and internal resolution these instruments possess. The availability of a reliable weighing data is the basis for dosing the captured fish in batches. In practice, thanks to this method, it appears possible to assemble the batches of fish with a, for these conditions of use high, accuracy ≤ 1%. Because the batches are carefully dosed, the fisherman reduces give away due to overweight and does not need to freeze it either. That means two times profit, in

Hydraulically damped single-point weighing load cells NEW, hydraulically damped single-point weighing load cells now available up to 200 kg
Hydraulically damped single-point weighing load cells
NEW, hydraulically damped single-point weighing load cells now available up to 200 kg Single point load cells possess the particular characteristic to be insensitive for a moment. This allows measurement of eccentric positioned loads. This way weighing arrangements with surface sizes up to 600 x 600 mm can be realized with one sensor only. Additionally to this characteristic the hydraulically damped sensors add insensitivity to shocks and vibrations. It seems contradictory, but thanks to the frictionless damping, these load cells quickly offer a stable weighing signal. This feature allows utilization for fast processes such as sorting and filling by weight. The 260 series is now expanded with carrying capacities up to 200 kg. In addition, the design has been modified to improve the protection class, from IP66 to IP68. This was achieved by means of a smart pressure equalization of the housing. Furthermore, the enclosure is out of stainless steel. Integrated is a central overload protection, both in tension and compression. All of these features make

Mass flow measurement with SolidFlow 2.0 Production of montan wax
Mass flow measurement with SolidFlow 2.0
Production of montan wax Application In an opencast mine, brown coal with a very high content of wax is mined. From this coal, raw montan wax is obtained in different process steps. Therefore, the coal is crushed, dried and impinged with an environmentally friendly solvent to separate the wax from the coal. The acquired montan wax is transported into an evaporation system, where it evaporizes in several stages. After that it is transported via pumps to spray towers, where wax balls (wax granulates) are produced. At the outlet of the spray towers the granulate falls through a down-stream sieve into a pipe. Our customer’s aim was to determine the quantity of the obtained material continuously. Process data Costumer: Romonta, Amsdorf (Germany) Product: Montan wax, granulate Quantity: 6 t/h Installation place: Pipe after spray towers Function: Measurement in freefall after silo Solution The SolidFlow 2.0 has been specially developed for measuring solid volumes,
