Kreyenborg presents infrared technology with new control system, storage and feeding systems, recycling solutions, and retrofit solutions for energy-saving Plastics processors and recyclers place the highest demands on the quality of their plastics. At the same time, they’re always on the lookout for new technology to speed up their processes or to save energy. With Kreyenborg’s infrared technology, there is a cost-saving alternative to hot air-, vacuum- or other drying methods. Whether virgin PET material or recyclates, flakes or compounds, various plastics are heated quickly, gently, and efficiently in Kreyenborg’s infrared rotary drum (IRD). Drying and crystallization are likewise achieved in one step. Plastics expertise across the board Kreyenborg, the plastics specialist from Germany, will be demonstrating both a continuous system and a batch version of the infrared rotary drum (IRD) at the K trade fair. To demonstrate the IRD, a large monitor that provides a view into the interior, showing how the material in the rotating drum behaves under infrared light. With mixers, special silos and extruder feeding

Case Study: Potash plants gain 20-30% capacity by fixing screening bottlenecks in compaction/granulation circuits. ROI typically under one year. Rising global potash demand, combined with geographically concentrated supply chains vulnerable to political disruption, has intensified the need for production optimization at existing facilities. Many operators discover that their primary capacity limitation lies not in major process equipment, but in screening operations within compaction and granulation circuits. Screening as the Primary Production Constraint Field analysis reveals that screening operations—particularly in compaction/granulation stages and final product classification—frequently constitute the primary throughput limitation in potash facilities. This constraint can be addressed through targeted interventions focusing on proper equipment sizing and material distribution optimization, rather than extensive facility reconstruction. Such projects typically achieve implementation within six-month timeframes while delivering production increases of 10–20%, with specialized configurations reaching

Sensitive UWT Measurement Solutions for the Pneumatic Conveying and Storage of Ultra-Fine Silicon Dioxide Silicon dioxide, also known as silica, is used across many industries – from paint and plastics manufacturing to food and pharmaceutical, and in producing modern insulation materials. In chemical process engineering especially, this fine-grained, often fluidized powder places high demands on storage, conveying, and level monitoring. An insulation material production project shows how UWT sensor solutions operate reliably even with extremely fine-grained, pneumatically conveyed silica. Despite heavy dust loads and low bulk density, these sensors enable precise and process-secure level and point level measurement. In a plant that produces heat and sound insulation boards, highly dispersed silica (SiO₂) is temporarily stored in vertical silos approximately 25 m high before further processing. The aim was accurate material detection – both for continuous level measurement and point level detection. THE APPLICATION - Combined Level and Point Level Detection

The greatest advantages of pneumatic knockers: particularly powerful, efficient and comparatively light Impact frequency knockers, interval knockers, shakers and vibrators: they are all used to make bulk materials flow better. Knocking on demand - this is best done with a pneumatic knocker. And no other knocker can produce such a high impact effect with the same size as the pneumatic singold knocker. What are the greatest advantages of pneumatic knockers? Have you ever walked through your plant and seen impact marks on cyclones, bins or silos? In all those cases where the flow of material was restarted with a hammer blow, a pneumatic knocker could have been used more efficiently and with less impact on the material. Unlike shakers, vibrators and even interval knockers, a pneumatic magnetic system knocker can knock on demand - whenever it is needed. This provides the following advantages: * For some products, constant knocking tends to condense the material flow rather than promote it. A single, targeted blow is much more effective here than a vibrator. * Well-directed
