T&B presents a smart system for the early detection of fire hazards caused by lithium-ion batteries in small warehouses. This enables operators to take measures for safety and damage limitation at an early stage. The handling and storage of lithium-ion batteries or accumulators is increasingly an issue for recycling companies and for manufacturers who are obliged to take back accumulators. Gases and aerosols can escape from pre-damaged accumulators - signs of an impending thermal runaway of the accumulators. More than a conventional CO detector The Fire Gas and Smoke Detection System (FGSDS) detects both smoke and a wide variety of fire gases long before the thermal runaway. The system is based on a special gas detector that detects different fire gases at an early stage. In combination with smoke detection, the FGSDS provides comprehensive early detection. Freely adjustable threshold values allow the system to be adapted to the operator’s individual safety requirements. Thanks to the smart combination of detectors and air intake, only one detector is needed to monitor the entire interior of a small warehouse. This also simplifies installation and use: the system can

After three years as an FD Gazelle (awarded by a leading Dutch financial newspaper), Foeth may now also call itself Gazelle International Every year, leading Dutch financial newspaper the Financieel Dagblad, awards the Dutch companies with the fastest growth with the FD Gazelle award. We have achieved this title in the years 2020 to 2023, so three consecutive years already. In addition, the Financieel Dagblad appoints the Dutch companies that grow the fastest on an international scale, the real cross-border frontrunners. Foeth is one of the 53 companies that can now call themselves International Gazelles, and we are proud of it. Foeth CEO Erik Saat attended the trophy award ceremony, where the absolute number one was also announced. We unfortunately did not win this, but it gives us a nice aspiration for next year. In any case, we are happy to still be one of the fastest-growing companies after more than 110 years in business, and that we can also live up to our mission (”reuse to reduce”) internationally.

New AMB spiral jet mill from Hosokawa Alpine: Ultra-fine grinding of coarse materials without pre-crushing Hosokawa Alpine AG has developed a new jet mill where coarser products can also be added without pre-crushing. The company named the spiral jet mill Alpine Microburst (AMB) after a weather phenomenon. ”The falling downdraughts in a microburst are reflected in the central material feed of the mill and high energy input to a clearly limited area,” explains Hermann Schmidt, Operations Director Pharma & Lab Division at Hosokawa Alpine AG. Even fibrous products, which previously could only be crushed with great effort or hardly at all, can now be finely milled with the AMB. Expansion of Hosokawa jet mills With the AMB spiral jet mill, the company is now presenting its customers with a valuable addition alongside its AS spiral jet mill and the AFG fluidised bed opposed jet mill. In contrast to traditional spiral jet mills, its large, central inlet allows more coarsely ground products to be processed directly. Up to now, this required pre-crushing. While the AFG is

Two popular options are ribbon mixers and single shaft fluidized zone mixers. In this article, we will compare the two and determine which is more efficient for mixing materials. Efficiency of ribbon mixers compared to fluidized zone mixers Two popular options are ribbon mixers and single shaft fluidized zone mixers. In this article, we will compare the two and determine which is more efficient for mixing materials. Ribbon Mixer Ribbon mixers are a type of industrial mixer that are commonly used for mixing dry powders and granules. They feature a long, horizontal trough with a central shaft that has two or more helical ribbons, or agitators, mounted on it. The ribbons rotate at different speeds, which causes the materials in the trough to be pulled in different directions. This results in a thorough mixing of the materials in the mixer. Single Shaft Fluidized Zone Mixer Single shaft fluidized zone mixers are a type of industrial mixer that are commonly used for mixing wet and dry materials. They feature a long, horizontal trough with a central shaft that has an agitator that has paddles mounted on it. The difference is that in a ribbon

BigBag-Handling in the plastics industry The demand for BigBag emptying systems from Achberg has increased more than significantly since the K trade fair last October, according to the sales department of the southern German manufacturer. The great advantage of the modular and stable steel constructions is the well-thought-out construction and the cost-effective shipping of the components. There are two different ways of handling the BigBags: On the one hand, the BigBags can be transported to the emptying station with a lifting traverse and forklift and hooked into the emptying station. On the other hand, it is possible to transport the BigBag into the emptying station with the help of a mobile electric chain hoist with a lifting cross. An integrated container, which is available in a wide range of sizes and configurations, holds the bulk material as an intermediate buffer. From there, the bulk material can be emptied by pneumatic vacuum or pressure conveying. BigBags are usually used in the plastics

Really acidic, abrasive or low-temperatures? No problem. Now we also offer our auger blades in Hardox 450 HiAce steel. In system planning and maintenance, the wear resistance of individual components is an important and cost-determining factor. Bulk materials with a low pH value, e.g. wood chips, place special demands on the steel quality of conveyor systems. Contact with acid causes the surfaces of the steel components to oxidise. The attacked components are more susceptible to wear and thus have a lower life expectancy. High resistant steel Hardox 450 HiAce has been specially developed for use in acidic and corrosive environments. This resistant steel is not only tough and structurally stable as well as particularly resistant to low temperatures. Its special material properties slow down the oxidation process on the steel surface. The longer service life of HiAce plant components is an immense advantage for your resource planning. Longer life Screw blades made of Hardox 450 HiAce achieve up to 3 times longer durability in the PH range 3.5 to 6 compared to the regular Hardox

Innovative processes such as double microencapsulation can help them to overcome bioavailability and solubility challenges. Plant-based functional ingredients behave differently than manufacturers of nutraceuticals and cosmetic products would like. Innovative processes such as double microencapsulation can help them to overcome bioavailability and solubility challenges. Among the currently trending functional ingredients, interest in natural sources such as turmeric and its polyphenol, curcumin, has been increasing for years. The spice is not only in demand in the culinary world, but has also found great promise in both consumer and scientific applications.*1 Hewlings and Kalman reported that the reason for this is because of the medicinal properties of this rhizomatous perennial plant (Curcuma longa) from the ginger family, which have been known for thousands of years.*2 In Asian countries, turmeric has traditionally been used as a medicinal plant for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, antimicrobial and anticancer properties.*3–*5 This sought-after ingredient is not

Floor scales can be used in a variety of ways for all kinds of applications. In logistics, however, there are special requirements. You can read about these and how VECHTA Waagen GmbH implements them below. The dimensions are decisive Euro pallets or one-way pallets with identical dimensions of 1200 x 800 mm are often used in logistics. In the 1960s, today’s pallet dimensions for the Euro pallet were defined and standardised. In July 1961, the first contract was signed for the use of today’s Euro pallets. A floor scale with the dimensions 1200 x 800 mm would therefore be a perfect measurement, one might assume. However, there are no floor scales with these dimensions on the market. A gap in the market? No, because it depends on the loading. With a forklift truck, it would be no problem to place a Euro pallet on a scale of the same dimensions. But if the pallet is loaded with a pallet truck, the situation is quite different. The pallet truck is longer than the pallet. In addition, the pallet truck must be removed from the scales so that it is not weighed as well. Of course, with many scales you can also set a tare value, a so-called PreTare. A size of 1250 x 1500

It often happens that an additional sieve step or metal detection step needs to be built into an existing situation. However, not enough height is available. With the Z-Conveyor in C version, it is relatively easy to build in a step. The Conveyor is suitable for even very watery products.
