an important contribution to the health of employees Noise in the workplace not only has serious health consequences, such as damage to the inner ear, headaches, dizziness and even concentration and sleep disorders, but it also affects productivity. In order to keep operational noise levels as low as possible, singold gerätetechnik offers a range of solutions, all of which have been carefully thought out down to the last detail. The pneumatic knocker from singold only knocks when required – this in itself is a contribution to noise protection. But by adding specialised accessories and using a special construction of the pneumatic knocker, sound emissions can be reduced even further. Sound insulation hood The sound insulation hood is put over the pneumatic knocker and, if present, the solenoid control valve, and screwed to the knocker. It is equipped with a rubber bushing for the compressed air hose and a silencer for the rinsing air. Towards the silo wall, a rubber edge protector reduces the sound. It adapts

By using a sensor to measure moisture content in wood, you can improve the quality of your wood product, reduce material waste and increase efficiency. Incorrect moisture levels can cause major issues for wood. From strength and drying problems to bond and glue curing complications, excessive moisture can wreak havoc. These issues can be avoided with a moisture measurement system. By using a sensor to measure moisture content in wood, you can improve the quality of your wood product, reduce material waste and increase efficiency. This guide will help you determine the right moisture measurement device for your wood products. Types Wood Moisture Measurement MoistTech’s IR-3000W moisture measurement sensors use near-infrared (NIR) technology. This is a non-contact form of measurement that is different from traditional methods, such as microwave technology where accuracy can be inconsistent. The sensor can be easily installed in a variety of locations. Unlike traditional methods where time was spent collecting the sample, the MoistTech sensor gathers data in real time and feeds it directly to the mill’s distributed

After 29 years of operation, the waste wood recycling plant of the Gigler company was refurbished. Production manager Alexander Schönacher optimized the plant together with HejuTec and FB Ketten. The result: a more efficient and reliable plant. Challenge and objective The refurbishment of the waste wood recycling plant was a demanding task. The objective was to renew the wear components, eliminate bottlenecks in the conveyor system and ensure operational reliability and performance for the next three years through technical optimization. At the same time, it had to be ensured that the work was completed within the planned revision time window in order to keep the production loss as low as possible. Implementation of the renovation A decisive success factor was the close and professional cooperation of the three project partners Alexander Schönacher from Gigler, Jürgen Heinzelmann from HejuTec and FB chain application specialist Mario Fähndrich. The scraper chains, sprockets, bearings and chain wear strips were expertly replaced and the scraper floors lined with wear plates. In addition, targeted optimizations were made to the conveyor system to minimize material flow disruptions and increase the

Solutions for Building and Cement Industry by UWT. Reliable Sensor Technology for Consistent Material Supply in Level and Point Level Measurement The quality of asphalt largely depends on the precise dosing of its components. Accurate level and point level measurement is particularly crucial during the weighing process to ensure a consistent mixture. This is where robust sensors come into play, reliably operating even under extreme conditions. During the weighing and mixing process, sensors are exposed to high temperatures, dust, abrasive materials, and chemical influences. Additionally, confined installation spaces and fluctuating material properties present common challenges. A durable, low-maintenance technology is therefore essential to minimise downtime and ensure a stable process. Precise Measurement and Dosing in the Mixing Process While the capacitive RFnivo® sensor provides a robust and adaptable solution for demanding point level measurement in asphalt production, the NivoRadar® – NR 8 ensures continuous and reliable level measurement in viscous bitumen.

Learn how a French urea prills manufacturer aims to address production challenges with a tailored screening approach. The Challenge: Ensuring Consistent Product Quality A prominent French manufacturer of urea prills faced a critical juncture in their production process. Their existing screening system, handling both uncoated and coated prills, struggled with persistent clogging in the lower deck and excessive dust in the final product. The manufacturer required exact separations for two fine screen cuts during loading screening, adhering to strict quality standards that permitted only a small percentage of undersized and oversized products. Developing a Quality-Focused Configuration RHEWUM’s engineering team conducted a series of in-depth screening tests to determine the optimal machine configuration. These tests focused on various screen designs, amplitudes, and frequencies to enhance separation efficiency and product quality. The aim was to develop a solution specifically tailored to overcome the quality challenges faced by the manufacturer. A Tailored Solution: Precision

singold has the ideal pneumatic knocker for every system: high temperatures, special hygiene requirements, very large silos, etc. Even Distance-Knockers when direct mounting is not possible. Just as the application scenarios for pneumatic knockers are diverse, so too are the requirements. Whether high temperatures, special hygiene requirements or very large silos, singold gerätetechnik gmbh offers a wide range of pneumatic knockers so you’ll have no problem finding one perfectly suited to your specific needs. Application temperature is crucial The most important factor in selecting the optimum knocker is the application temperature. For temperatures up to 60 °C, a standard version with a plastic piston can be used. For applications above 60 °C, the piston is made of aluminium. Cover and anchor plate, tube and striker are made of aluminium, steel or stainless steel, depending on the individual application situation. The pneumatic knocker can even be used with wall temperatures of over 140 °C. A T-shaped welding plate to increase the distance to the hot wall, a heat-dissipating plate and a heat insulation plate are available as accessories in this
