Trantec’s quick-release feature ensures that production times are maximised and downtime is reduced to minutes Due to machines needing regular cleaning, maintenance, or product changeover, manufacturing businesses are heavily impacted by downtime. This can have a drastic impact over time on profit margins from having to halt production. Trantec’s quick-release features were designed to provide a cost-effective solution that offers rapid dismantling and non-problematic cleaning of their machinery. Downtime is reduced to under five minutes for complete dismantling of their screw feeders and below ten for a complete product changeover. Few screw feeder manufacturers offer a similar easy-release feature. However, the feeder body usually remains in place. This can be problematic, making the cleaning process longer and more troublesome. Trantec’s quick-release screw feeder sets itself apart from its competitors as almost the whole feeder can be dismantled, including the feeder’s body. Developed, tested and proven over the past ten years, Trantec’s unique design offers

Trantec’s Nano screw feeder range takes proven feeding technology and applies it to the miniature world of ultra-low dosing of powders, flakes, and granules. For over two decades Trantec Solids Handling has specialised in the design and manufacture of powder metering equipment. This expertise has now been applied to the unique complexities of feeding powders at very low rates. Steady flow at grams per hour A selected few companies offer feeding rates lower than fifty grams per hour. However, some micro-dosing applications target quantities well below this. Therefore, equipment becomes challenging to find, if not unobtainable. Trantec’s Micro and Nano feeder range takes proven feeding technology and applies it to the miniature world of ultra-low dosing of powders, flakes, and granules. Providing a steady flow at exceptionally low rotational speeds, dosing as little as a few milligrams to several grams per hour, with extremely high accuracies. To enhance the micro feeder’s accuracy and controllability, optional gravimetric type weigh and control systems are available, suitable for both gain in weight and loss in weight

Sinfimasa presents a solution for dosing very fine, explosive bulk solids, in this case active ingredients of medicines. In a practical situation, dosing of 300 litres per hour of micronised bulk product (active ingredients of medicines) was required. As the substance was explosive, a machine with ATEX GAS 1 certification was provided. Sinfimasa designed a stainless steel 316 tube screw feeder, suitable for ATEX zone 1 (2G). A screw of 70 mm and a tube of 80 mm were chosen, so that there is a large clearance. The screw is driven by a 0.75 kW ATEX certified motor gearbox. All parts that may come into contact with the product, such as seals, plastics, grease, etc., are FDA-compliant thanks to the hygienic, easy-to-clean design. The product itself is a sticky product, so the tube is manufactured with a glossy polished (g220) inner surface and an industrial satin matt outer surface. In accordance with directive 2014/34/EU, equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres must be designed with a view to integrating explosion protection. These

Whenever a bulk material is stored the contents are required to flow reliably and under control during both the filling and emptying processes. Few problems become apparent during filling, although some may be caused that show later. The regime of flow generated during the discharge process depends on the storage vessel construction and properties of the bulk material being handling, but essentially follows a mass or funnel flow form, depending whether the total stored contents move during discharge. The two major benefits of Mass Flow are the securement of reliable flow without arching or ‘ratholing’ and the elimination of indeterminate residence time due to static regions of storage during discharge. Other benefits are secured are that the risk of ’flushing’ is reduced and that segregation that may have occurred during filling is redressed. It is essential for mass flow that extractions takes place over the entire area of the hopper outlet. However, to secure

FROM POWDER MIXING TO FINISHED GRANULATE IN THE ISOLATOR Three-Tec develops high-quality volumetric and gravimetric feed units and extruders together with peripheral equipment such as spheronizers, granulators, hot die faces, conveyor belts and water baths. They impress due to their easy cleaning, simple handling and flexible adjustment to process requirements. Versatile options to integrate them into the production processes or test and laboratory applications of research and development make Three-Tec machines very popular products. Three-Tec machines are produced as custom-made designs to meet customer requirements and are largely used in the testing and laboratory sectors of the pharmaceutical and food industries. Three-Tec has now reacted to the growing demand for a production process for granulates in an isolated environ-ment and realised an isolator with integrated gravimetric feed unit, extruder, conveyor belt and granulator in accord-ance with ISO 14644-7 in collaboration with ART-Reinraumtechnik. As a result,

Non contact measurement During free fall of products, a non-contacting mass flow measurement can be performed at the delivery end of conveyor systems such as vibrating conveyors, screw conveyors, rotary dischargers, chain conveyors and conveyor belts. By the radiometric principle the material flow in t/h is calculated from the product weight per area and material speed. NON-CONTACTING MEASUREMENT: * minimal maintenance * no measurement errors caused by material deposits * no influence of air flows in the fall pipe or fall chute * unaffected by temperature and grain size variations * minimal influence of moisture variations CONSTRUCTION: * simple construction at the outside of piping * simple installation of elements and control
