MoistTech’s sensors can be mounted to any pipeline, belt, screw or drag conveyor, chutes, cyclones, bins, before and after the dryer and on webs for converting applications. MoistTech sensors are not limited to the type of installation and can be mounted in any orientation using many of our measurement accessories. Many locations thought to be inaccessible now provide MoistTech with an installation option. Large pipeline locations can be measured using a MoistTech Flange Window. Many products gravity fed or pneumatically conveyed are measured using the snorkel and sampler cup accessories. Product collects in the sampler cup and measured before air purges the sample back into the process repeating the measurement. Does your product flow through a pipeline? No problem. MoistTech’s sensors can be mounted to any pipeline, belt, screw or drag conveyor, chutes, cyclones, bins, before and after the dryer and on webs for converting applications.

A German building materials manufacturer was looking for compatible level sensors in its narrow, high storage silos for very fine sand, among other things. A non-contact measurement with free-radiating radar measurement technology from UWT was preferred. The advantages of non-contact radar level measurement lie in its ability to provide accurate measurement regardless of the properties of the medium (e.g., density, dielectric constant). It also works in adverse environments with high temperatures, pressures, vibrations or dust. The NR 4100 has been installed in several storage silos for level measurement of very fine sand (0-1 mm). The high frequency 80 GHz radar sensor of the NivoRadar® series offers a high resolution as well as a robust design. - Max. adjustment: 1,000 m - Min. alignment: 15,000 m The echo profile looked top notch. Installation and commissioning were quick and straightforward. Pairing the devices via Bluetooth with the UWT LevelApp worked intuitively and ensures transparent and modern level monitoring. Special features of the application/application data: - Low DK value of the sand -…

Almost everyone is familiar with vibration dampers made of elastomers. When conditions get tougher, rubber-based vibration isolators reach their limits. Production in a multi-phase process, partly by hand The basis or the main element of every vibration damper is the damping pad made of stainless-steel wire. This is produced in a multi-stage process. First and foremost is the knitting of several stainless-steel wires into a stocking. This stocking is then rolled to create a mat. While these processes are automated, the next step is manual. The existing mat is pulled over a mandrel and brought into its mostly cylindrical shape. At the end of production, this blank is pressed and spot-welded to create an elastic molded part. This is used as a damping pad. Design parameters An element is characterized by the same values that describe the corresponding geometric shape. For the cylindrical cushion, the outer diameter, inner diameter and height are required as a basis. For a rectangular cushioning element, the width, length and height. Other shapes can be adapted based on the geometry. The volume or density can be deduced…

In 2019, an apron conveyor chain in front of a crusher for demolition material had to be replaced in Pantaleon at the Austrian company Hasenöhrl. No spare parts could be supplied by the plant manufacturer. FB Ketten found a suitable solution. The Hasenöhrl company was founded in 1960 by Otto Hasenöhrl. After more than five decades, the Hasenöhrl Group, with all its areas of activity, is one of the most modern in its sector. Managed by Com. Ing. Karl Hasenöhrl, the company is still a pure family business. Strategically, the company focuses on moderate and constant expansion, long-term customer loyalty, highly motivated employees as well as a sustainable approach to the environment and the conservation of natural resources. At several locations, demolition materials are processed and made available for re-entry into the raw materials cycle. In St. Pantaleon, the apron feeder chain to the crusher had to be replaced in 2019. This is how the contact between Mr. Gerhard Greindl (Head of Fleet Management at Hasenöhrl) and Mr. Gerhard Mittermayr, the responsible chain application engineer at FB Ketten, came about. Tailor-made chain solutions also for older plants FB Ketten specialises in customised…

The Deutsche Qualitätsmanagement Akademie GmbH has recently certified singold gerätetechnik GmbH that its quality management complies with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 9001:2015. Requirements for the areas of application development, design, assembly, and sales of devices for material flow optimisation for bulk materials were tested and evaluated. ”We are very pleased that our successful efforts to achieve the highest quality at all business levels have now been confirmed by an external body through the ISO certification,” says Managing Director Oliver Lüer. ”For us, this is an incentive to optimise all processes from development to sales even further.” DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 is the national and international standard for quality management in companies. Companies with this certificate are recognised for their constant efforts to achieve high-quality products and services. Customers of ISO-certified companies can rely on the fact that company processes…
