This year saw the Werl-based company Schulte Strathaus present its Starclean® business segment at BAUMA 2019 under the slogan “Heroes of Spillage Control”. Larger-than-life hero images welcomed visitors to the exhibition stand where innovative system solutions for material handling were showcased. BAUMA in Munich presents the construction sector at its best. Boasting exhibition space of 614,000 m2, 3,700 exhibitors from 63 countries and over 600,000 visitors, it is the world’s biggest trade fair for construction equipment, building material machinery, mining machinery and the like. Schulte Strathaus’ Starclean® business unit introduced the following products to the many visitors attending: - The innovative Starclean® conveyor belt cleaners - Impact cradles for belt conveyors designed to protect the conveyor belt at transfer points - Belt trackers for conveyor belt alignment - The closed conveyor belt system SafeBelt® with its optimal curve radii and weather-proof material

microsonic has equipped the new lpc+ sensor family with two output stages. The sensors in the M18 threaded sleeve have the following optional features two push-pull switching outputs with IO-Link interface or a push-pull switching output plus an analogue output 0-10 V or 4-20 mA with IO-Link interface With the four detection ranges (150 mm, 250 mm, 350 mm and 1,000 mm), the new ultrasonic sensors cover a measuring range from 20 mm to 1.3 m. Easy sensor integration with Smart Sensor Profile Thanks to the IO-Link interface, the lpc+ sensors can be easily and reliably parameterized by the machine controller even during operation. On-site adjustment is not required, but is possible with LinkControl. In addition to process values, the IO-Link sensors also transmit identification, status and diagnostic values and support the Smart Sensor Profile. The advantages of the Smart Sensor Profile pay off when using different IO-Link devices (sensors, actuators) in one application.

Jonas Boehnke, M.Sc., Sepro Mineral Systems Corp., Canada Gerhard Stockinger, M.Eng., Bran Abstract A recent trend in wet processing of incinerator bottom ash is complemented by the development of a fine ash treatment module for size fractions < 2mm. Options for the extraction of the fine size fractions in both wet or conventional dry process plants is presented and the economical, environmental and health & safety aspects of extracting and processing the fines are discussed. Ash samples are exceptionally heterogenous in their composition and this particularly applies for precious metals. Particle shapes also play a significant role in the selection of suitbale recycling technology. Comprehensive testwork in laboratory scale has identified a compatible gravimetric separation route and it is explained why only a combination of multiple devices satisfies the diverse requirements to produce a marketable heavy non-ferrous metal product. The diverse metal composition and potential precious metal „nugget effect“ poses a sampling challenge. To enhance the confidence
