Amazing realms of processing solutions. Fine particle technology which opens gateways to great innovation. And a real cracker: the new compact laboratory system. Inspiration sparks a firework of ideas – for everyone to see. In a most colourful setting, NOLL Processing Technology celebrate the spirit of invention and present special processing solutions. At POWTECH exhibition, stand 4A – 312, September 26-28, 2023 in Nuremberg/Germany. Great in smallest dimensions The finer the powder processing, the more valuable materials become. NOLL know-how achieves a particle fineness of up to 2 µm, thus yielding more competitive advantages for further processing – for instance in 3D print – and for the end manufacture of a product. “We give our customers the edge to set both quality and economical standards in their markets”, confirms Bettina Noll, the company’s managing director. “And NOLL engineering provides an extra benefit: very gentle treatment. Whether milling or classifying, our refinement procedures preserve the powders’ basic structures and qualities while creating new material characteristics.” Discover

High-Efficiency Technologies for Processing and Recycling Plastics At Fakuma 2023 (17-21 October 2023, Friedrichshafen, Germany) Coperion and Herbold Meckesheim will present innovative product and process solutions that make both the compounding and the recycling of plastics markedly more efficient and increase the product quality achieved. One eyecatcher at Fakuma booth 6312 in Hall A6 is the preconfigured ProRate™ PLUS-S feeder. It serves as a representative of Coperion’s comprehensive technology and process expertise in all compounding tasks. From raw material handling to conveying, feeding, melting, dispersing, homogenizing and devolatilizing up to pelletizing, Coperion delivers both high-efficiency individual components as well as complete systems. The added value from the merger of Coperion and Herbold Meckesheim, specialist in mechanical recycling of plastics and plastic waste, is evident at the booth in a virtual PET recycling plant that both companies have created. This virtual plant presents one of the complete solutions

Due to the flourishing construction industry, sand is now the second most traded raw material after water. But suitable sand resources are limited. RHEWUM has developed a solution to produce sand from widely spread gravel right next to the customer. A flourishing construction industry without sand is unthinkable. According to One Stone Consulting, around 10 to 15 billion tons of building sands are required worldwide each year (1). In addition, we need industrial sands, for example for fracking or the glass industry. This corresponds to a per capita sand consumption of about two to eight tons per year, so that a total of 40 to 50 billion tons of sand and gravel must be extracted. This makes sand the second most traded raw material after water (2). Since the demand for sand is growing faster than suitable sand resources can be found, sand is instead produced from gravel or transported over long distances. This is not environmentally reasonable. RHEWUM has developed a solution to process sand mobile and therefore directly on site. THE RAW MATERIAL Quartzite sand is mainly used in the construction industry. It consists of silicon dioxide (SiO2). The great hardness of the material (7° according to Mohs) is an advantage.

Calcium carbonate is a material that originated from the remains of single-celled sea creatures over millions of years of Earth’s history. Today, it is the basis for a range of commonly used building materials, including limestone and dolomite. Finest separations up to 0.1 mm A British customer discussed with RHEWUM ways to renew an aging installation for processing calcium carbonate. Several existing sieving machines and sifters were to be replaced. Fine separations up to 0.1 mm were performed. Setting vibration during operation Machines with direct excitation of the screen fabrics were planned as the machine type. Drives for the decks on which coarser separations were to be performed were unbalanced motors. The decks for fine separations were equipped with oscillating heads that allow the vibration to be changed during operation via thyristor controllers. The machine types of choice were then RHEsono, RHEmoto and RHEfino as a combination of both types. For the task of feeding the material onto the machines, RHEside feeders with lateral feeding were used. Customer requirements were met With

Rotary Paddle Level Switch for overfill and dry run protection with SIL2 certification The terms ‘functional safety’ and ‘safety integrity level (SIL)’ have occurred more frequently since the publication of the international standard IEC 61508/IEC61511. Particularly in systems with hazard-causing processes, such as in chemical plants, the consideration of functional safety has become indispensable. On this basis safety-related practices, design principles and error considerations must be met in order to minimize the risk of a dangerous failure. The UWT engineers focused on this topic and designed the rotating paddle switch Rotonivo® RN 6000 series according to the normative requirements of functional safety to ensure safety functions in a risk mitigation in accordance with SIL2. Typical safety functions are overfill and dry run protection. Depending on the requirements, the Rotonivo® rotary paddle switch is used as a full, demand or empty detector in storage silos or process vessels and is suitable for use in almost all solids. With its
