Measuring magnets in the food industry
Measuring magnets: how is it done and what are the criteria? We received a request from a French company that makes nougat. (The wonderful Nougat de Montélimar!) They wanted to have the magnets in their production facility measured in order to – in their own words – satisfy the quality standards and ensure that the magnets are still working optimally. This is also necessary in order to continue to meet the HACCP (Hygienic Critical Control Points) quality assurance standards. This quality label applies to all manufacturers of food products, whether they make chocolate, sugar, milk powder, flour or soup. Guy Mutsaerts is an expert in the field of magnets for the food industry and has been since 1992. He regularly measures magnets himself and explains all the ins and outs: ‘In principle, a permanent magnet retains its magnetic value for life, so there is little risk that the magnetic field strength will degrade. The only factors that could cause a magnet to lose its strength are: fracture, corrosion or heating (temp. >80

Improved mounting kit for load cells types 350 High accuracy of the sensor requires a proper assembly
Improved mounting kit for load cells types 350
High accuracy of the sensor requires a proper assembly Modern load cells proved to be reliable and accurate measuring elements. Thanks to the used material, steel or stainless steel, combined with protection classes up to IP68, they can be applied almost anywhere. However, a concern is the way of mounting. The accuracy of the sensor, 0.017%, requires a proper assembly. Uneven surfaces, tilting or loads in the horizontal plane have a negative effect. Mounting kits contribute to the proper operation. The PENKO loading assemblies are recently improved, the force introduction now takes place via a ball and cup arrangement. As a result, side forces, loads in the horizontal plane, are no longer possible. Integrated in the kit are two bolts as a lift off protection, easing mounting and/or replacement of the sensor. This feature limits movement in the horizontal plane and makes the weighing system wind resistant. Thus, by mounting the fitting horizontal one meets all requirements. The mounting kits is suitable for the series

Rocky DEM - Next Generation DEM Particle Simulator
Learn more about Rocky DEM and subsribe to the ESSS Newsletter Rocky DEM is a revolutionary way to handle a problem through computer simulation. It can be used to optimize life expectancy of conveyor belts and components, minimize material spillage in a design, reduce the need for dust control and suppression, among numerous other applications. Stirred Mills, SAG mills, Crushers and High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) can be optimized with Rocky DEM 3D simulations. This software analyzes media flow patterns and energy absorption rates, particle breakage, energy spectra analysis, and more. Rocky DEM performs efficient separation on spherical or non-round particle shapes to evaluate screening performance, mass flow distribution, force distribution, and surface wear. It also has the ability to couple with external FEA solvers (ANSYS) to analyze various forces. Rocky DEM is a product developed by ESSS and GDI. ESSS was created in 1995, in Florianópolis – Brazil, with the objective of establishing a link between the scientific

Concetti supplies fully automatic bagging to Cheetham Salt
The heart of the system is the Starpack 1600 bag filling and closing machine Concetti, Perugia, Italy, has supplied a fully automatic bagging system to Cheetham Salt, Australia’s largest producer and refiner of solar salt. This type of salt is produced by harvesting the product from coastal or inland lakes using a natural evaporative process. Cheetham’s requirements were not straightforward and covered both wet salt and dry refined grades with bags in 10, 15, 20 and 25Kg sizes as well as different bag types including paper with inner PE liner, woven polypropylene, coated or with PE liner and PE bags both pre-made and from a tubular reel. A choice of closures was also needed with simple sewing, sewing with fold-over and either of these combined with heat sealing or for PE bags, heat-sealing only. For many suppliers such a combination of products, pack sizes, types and closures would have represented a challenge but Concetti were able to meet all of Cheetham’s specific needs, including being able to change the complete packaging line from

Level measurement in spite of heavy vibrations - MOLOSroto
Accessory ”vibration damping device” for MOLOSroto level switches from MOLLET The handling of bulk goods requires a special task, as the discharge of the product out of silos and bins does not happen automatically caused by gravity. The product in storage silos or bins has to be made flowable, as many bulk goods can not flow out through the practicable and appropriate discharge cross-sections. Therefore the connection of fiber, parts and particles has to be loosened by the influence of forces. Depending on product characteristics, working environment and applications external silo vibrators or rappers are used often as suitable discharge systems. These discharge systems cause heavy vibrations mainly in the lower section of silos and bins. These vibrations are a large problem in particular for the level measurement devices used as empty- or demand detector. Primarily the electronics of these level indicators are damaged as a result. Especially for such a kind of application a solution has been searched and created by MOLLET. The accessory “vibration
