Moisture Control Increases ROI. Using light absorption, NIR analysis can give accuracy results of +/- 0.01%. Increase Production Efficiency up to over 400% Moisture Control Increases ROI. Using light absorption, NIR analysis can give accuracy results of +/- 0.01%. Results. Accuracy. Profit. Your product should be top quality every time it leaves the facility and measuring the amount of moisture can be a crucial step in the process, too much or too little can be detrimental to the overall product. The technology behind MoistTech’s design is what provides precision results: Near-Infrared spectroscopy and imaging. NIR utilizes a fast and nondestructive analytical technique that provides chemical and physical information of virtually any matrix. Using light absorption, NIR analysis can give accuracy results of +/- 0.01%. Non-contact online sensors with hundreds of measurements per second are -transmitted to a PLC which allows line personnel to make immediate line adjustments if necessary. The no-drift optical design requires no maintenance, is insensitive to material

Short film documentary on the Coperion K-Tron ActiFlow™ bulk solid activator. This clever device prevents bridging and ratholing of bulk material being discharged from a hopper by a feeder in an industrial manufacturing process. Owing to its tight integration with the feeder control it acts preventatively and only when required and thus does not additionally compact the bulk material. Furthermore it is completely non-product-contact and maintenance free which makes it especially suitable for food or pharma applications.

Innovative solutions for high-quality end products Schönberg, February 2023 Istanbul-based Engin Grup has built up various group companies over the past decades that are active in the marketing and distribution of cosmetic and household products for Turkey and the Caucasus region. The establishment of Futurapet in 2020 was a logical step towards sustainability and environmental protection, values Engin Grup committed to. The recycling of plastic products is another building block for sustainable production, closing the recycling loop and reducing the burden on the environment. In a plant equipped with stateof-the-art (sorting) technology, Futurapet recycles plastic waste. The secondary raw materials obtained are returned to the plastics processing industry. Reliable production of pure PET When Futurapet was founded, General Manager Oğuz Engin and his t eam were looking for innovative solutions that efficiently deliver high-quality end products. Only single-variety rPET can be used for a wide range of new products,

Hellweg’s culture of innovation has borne much fruit, including Smart Control, the digital control system for plastics shredders. The TOP 100 2023 seal of approval underscores the company’s future-oriented focus. Roetgen, Germany, February 2023. compamedia has awarded Hellweg Maschinenbau, the manufacturer of high-quality shredders digitally controlled by Smart Control for efficient plastics recycling, the TOP 100 2023 seal of approval as a particularly innovative medium-sized company. The award was made following a science-based selection procedure, in which innovation researcher Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Franke of the Vienna University of Economics and Business and his team compared the applicants’ innovative strengths. Particular attention was paid in this procedure to the systematic planning of realized projects as a criterion for future repeatability. In the course of the selection procedure, Hellweg had to address the issues of how important innovation is as a corporate goal and whether it is capable of creatively questioning existing thinking and successfully implementing new ideas on the market. The assessment was made on the basis of more than 100 criteria in five categories.

With MB Crusher units installed at the excavator, mining and processing waste return to the production cycle Road maintenance in quarries, as in all remote hard-to-reach places, is often expensive, labour-intensive and time-consuming. This is because the full potential of the heavy machines already on site is often not utilized. For example, one could install an MB Crusher jaw crusher bucket to one’s excavator, reduce the spoil material, and reuse it as a subgrade for haulage road maintenance or the creation of new connecting roads. Or resell it and thus have another source of revenue. The benefit then is twofold, as is the gain: # no additional cost because you reuse the overburden, so there is no need to buy more material from other suppliers. No additional means are needed because the carrier machine already present at the quarry is used and the work becomes faster so there is a huge time-saving. # An efficient internal road network means cost optimization, more productivity and savings on the maintenance of transport equipment. If the roads are smooth and hitch-free
