PolyFlow improves conveyor efficiency with consistent airflow PolyFlow has been specifically designed for the concepts and principles of fluidization, ensuring better performance and a longer operating life compared to conveyor products that are merely used in fluidization applications. Traditional air flow fabrics are usually of a solid woven construction. This type of material can have “hot spots” caused by uneven air flow through the weave, leading to lack of fluidity and reduced capacity. PolyFlow gives an even air distribution to ensure a good cushion for a consistent flow with virtually no abrasion wear. Unlike solid woven belts, PolyFlow does not need to have the edges heat or silicone sealed to prevent air loss, and the needle felt material is easy to cut and drill for flange fitting. The design and construction offer several significant advantages over solid woven fabrics: Key Advantages of PolyFlow Fabric * Uniform and Consistent Airflow: The needled construction ensures even air distribution, preventing…

Continuous Level and Point Level Measurement in Glue Applications for the Paper and Packaging Industry. Even with Sticky Liquids and Agitated Tanks Corrugated board has become an essential part of everyday life. Whether it’s used for shipping boxes, product packaging, or sturdy transport solutions, this lightweight, robust, and fully recyclable material meets the highest standards in terms of sustainability, flexibility, and stability. Its characteristic structure is created by shaping a layer of paper using corrugating rollers to form the typical wave profile. Depending on the desired strength and design, the corrugated layer is bonded with one or more flat paper layers using glue. Proper storage and precise monitoring Even with Sticky Liquids and Agitated Tanks. A crucial element in this production process is glue. It guarantees the permanent bonding of the paper layers and must be available in consistent quality and quantity. Therefore, proper storage and precise monitoring of the adhesive are vital for maintaining an uninterrupted production process. Glue Storage Application Requirements for Level…

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…
