The BT Series Blow-Through Feeder/Airlock from ACS Valves is designed to ensure optimal bulk density and throughput of hard-to-convey materials such as fine powders and flakes that, in high-pressure pneumatic conveying applications, can easily over-aerate and reduce material feed efficiency.

Hapman’s Solidquid powder and liquid delivery system automatically and precisely delivers dry bulk ingredients into a motive liquid stream to convey slurries, solutions or suspensions into mix tanks, blenders or other process equipment.

Two approaches to solving dust issues with highly dispersed powder materials

It goes without saying that a modern food or beverage plant handles lots of powders, either as raw ingredients or finished products. To handle all this stuff, plants are equipped with powder transport and conveying systems as well as powder silos, feeders, blenders, de-baggers and filling machines.

Development and design of powder-handling equipment and systems for the process industries present engineers with two problems. First, the world’s process industries are very diverse, ranging from petroleum and petrochemicals to fine chemicals, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, plastics, pigments, detergents, fertilizers and more.

Powder products — such as flavorings, flours, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals — are part of a broader group of materials called “bulk solids” that can range from micron- to millimeter-sized particles.

AirClean® Systems PowderSafe™ Type B Enclosures provide a controlled negative pressure HEPA-filtered environment for working with and weighing powders.

The Gericke Nibbler from Powder Technologies, Inc. provides a highly economic alternative to hammer mills and more complex equipment for consistent size reduction of materials and agglomerates.

Mac Process E-finity® is a patented continuous dense phase convey system for fragile materials. Precise pressure monitoring and airflow corrections allow the system to operate efficiently under all conditions, while gently inducing materials through the convey line in slug form.

Sanitary vibratory conveyors from process equipment manufacturer The Witte Co. combine proprietary vibrating technology with continuously welded stainless steel troughs to effectively convey high value and sensitive materials while safeguarding against product contamination and protecting particle shape and integrity.

POWTECH is the world’s undisputed number one for powder, granule and bulk solids technologies. It reflects the current state of the art in mechanical processing technologies and instrumentation. A top-grade supporting programme rounds off the exhibition concept.
