“all-in-one”: direct measuring – digital processing – analogue output A clever combination of approved measuring systems, long-term experience and close cooperation with clients, ACO developed a new sensor generation: AMMS. With this new Analogue Moisture Measuring Sensor ACO offers a compact sensor suitable for nearly all bulk goods, granules, powders, mixtures, paste-like materials and substances from various industrial fields. This most convincing high quality sensor is equipped with user-friendly calibration by calibration software. Multi calibration up to 10 calibration points is possible. Calibration directly in process is a big advantage. For easier handling calibration directly at the sensor is possible as well. The measuring range or average value can be adjusted conveniently directly at the sensor. The output of measuring value is made by analogue output signal 4…20mA. All electronics are embedded as usual in robust durable stainless steel housing with highly resistant ceramic disc. Due to its identical dimensions

increasing quality – increasing efficiency – saving money The field of application for wood is extremely varied. Using wood as a renewable energy source is one of the fastest growing application area for wood. In this kind of timber industry wood is processed in quiet different ways. A few examples for usable material- or transport forms are wood-chips, wood-pellets, wood-shavings or sawdust. To reach a highly effective combustion in the wood-burning ovens a moisture measurement is absolutely essential. On one hand a moisture measurement is able to measure the exact residual moisture in the material. The quality of all produced wooden bulk-materials increases highly by using a moisture measurement. And on the other hand there is also the possibility to raise the efficiency of a plant through optimizing cost-intensive drying- and irrigation processes. A very important aspect by installing a moisture measurement sensor is a well conceived mounting position in the production plant. Every production plant has its own individual

Disk mill for a ultrafine grinding The GRANOMAT JP disk mill is designed for the ultrafine grinding of numerous products and can be used for both wet and dry milling. The most varied of products can be produced, depending on the type of disk employed. The GRANOMAT JP disk mill is based on the stator-rotor principle with a fixed and a rotating disk, which allows milling or rubbing. The mill is able to process grains from 3 mm down to 10 μm using corresponding disks with a throughput of 1 to 3000 kg/h depending on the starting product, the grinding fineness and the machine type. At present, three machines with different disk sizes are available: GRANOMAT JP 150, JP 250 and JP 360. The GRANOMAT JP machine can be used for instance when producing emulsifying of fats and cosmetics, as well as for powdering or slurrying hard materials such as glass, minerals, bone, metal oxides, zeolite, medical products, pigments, medical materials etc., pastes of vegetables, fruits, meat, sesame seeds, nuts, pigments,

WAM-Classic with optimized Maintenance and unbeatable Price-Perfomance Ratio When storing bulk materials in silos, silo venting filters fulfill two important functions: when a silo is filled e.g. by a tanker, the displaced air streams out of the silo through the filter, so that no excess pressure occurs, that might harm the silo structure or the operating personnel. Beside this pressure equalization function, silo venting filters also provide clean air: when passing the filter elements, dust particles are separated from the raw gas stream and fall back into the silo whenever the pneumatic cleaning of the filter elements is activated. The purified air stream finally escapes through the filter as clean gas into the environment. With tens of thousands installed units WAM’s SILOTOP® R03 is the most demanded silo venting solution worldwide. Thanks to optimizations in the filter production and the continuous adjustment of the SILOTOP® concept to today’s market demands, WAM is now presenting with SILOTOP® R03E a new series with improved maintenance

Allow us to show you great level measuring devices and processing system accessories On June 15, 2015 it will be that time again; the world’s largest exhibition for chemical technology, environmental care and biotechnology will open the doors again in Frankfurt am Main for five days. Approximately 3.800 exhibitors from all around the world will present their products and services. A comprehensive congress program will inform about the state-of-the-art technology, the latest technological developments and trends. The ACHEMA provides a unique chance for all technicians and engineers to keep their technical skills and knowledge up to date. At the same time the exhibition is an excellent meeting point in order to cultivate international contacts. For the 10th time the team from MOLLET Füllstandtechnik participate in this exhibition that takes place in a cycle of 3 years and will present you again this year level measuring devices and processing system accessories of the highest level. These include MOLOSbob and MOLOSwave, the all-rounder for continuous

Dynamic weighing and Track & Trace systems specialist OCS Checkweighers at Achema 2015 OCS Checkweighers is devoting its exhibit at ACHEMA 2015 to Track & Trace. In Frankfurt, the specialist for dynamic weighing and inspection systems presents its convincing high-tech answer to the mandated serialisation requirement: the ”Traceable Quality System” (TQS). OCS shows a complete line with serialisation and continuous aggregation in a minimum of space. OCS - Integrated solutions with just one software interface TQS is winning over the industry because of its consistent, integrated operation. The system enables the serialization (only 1,800 mm space needed) and complete aggregation of medicines. Protection from counterfeiting requires a controllable and unrestricted product flow from producer to retailer right to the consumer. TQS is the clever solution that stands for easy operation and continuous aggregation. The special feature: The whole TQS system can be controlled directly from one, convenient software interface. The operator appreciates

Container Stripper Copal Development Copal Development has developed a so-called Spidergripper for the unloading sisal bags, polypropylene + polyethylene bags and jute bags & bales (non woven) filled with for instance cacao, coffee, nuts or tea. With this gripper, which can be easily connected to a Copal C2 Container Stripper, it is now possible to unload jute bags automatically. Not only does this mean a saving on time and costs, but also the heavy physical effort of employees becomes history. The jute bags are taken out of a container by a unique fully automatic mechanism and placed on an extendible conveyor belt. The bags are transported by the conveyor belt and then fully automatically palletized for further transportation or storage. Loading and unloading containers normally costs a lot of time and manpower and therefore a lot of money too. Efficient production and turnaround times To prevent overloading and permanent injury of employees, Copal Development has been designing and producing container

The company BOSCHE is capable of producing according to DIN EN 1090 Since July 01, 2014, all carrying components made ​​of steel or aluminum have to go through the attestation of conformity according to DIN EN 1090.
