Modern Process Equipment Corporation: on-site Chain-Vey testing in Jakarta, Indonesia

Chicago USA based equipment processing company Modern Process Equipment Corporation (MPE) has announced it is to offer on-site conveyor testing products on the Chain-Vey at its new test facility in Indonesia.   

The facility is fully-equipped to test products on the demonstration Chain-Vey unit to determine the feasibility and ideal configuration of product conveying needs.

MPE’s Chain-Vey tubular drag conveyor moves products gently, efficiently, horizontally and vertically in a dust-tight environment without product degradation or declassification, thereby making it an optimal solution for hundreds of products including coffee, food powders, material chips, activated carbon and more.

The new Indonesian facility is located at:

PT. Rieckermann Indonesia

Jl. Prof. Supomo SH No. 29A Tebet

Jakarta 12870

Event: 24th Annual Practical Short Course on Feeds and Pet Food Extrusion

Next January will see the return of a feed related short course run by Texas A&M University, USA.

The 24th Annual Practical Short Course on Feeds and Pet Food Extrusion will cover a range of subjects including, designing new feed mills and selecting conveying, drying, grinding, conditioning and feed mixing equipment. 

Current practices for production of pet foods, preparing full-fat soy meal; recycling fisheries by-products, raw animal products, and secondary resources; extrusion of floating, sinking, and high fat feeds; spraying and coating fats, digests and preservatives; use of encapsulated ingredients and preparation of premixes, and least cost formulation will also be reviewed.

Practical demonstration of pet food, vacuum coating, and several others will take place on four major types of extruders - dry, interrupted flights, single and twin screw, using various shaping dies. 

The course runs from January 19-24, 2014. Reservations are accepted on a first-come basis.

NETZSCH Group reveals real innovation and promising alliances

The NETZSCH Group, grinding and fine grinding specialists, announced a solid mid-year order situation, adding that they are looking optimistically to the future. A lot of new developments and innovative potimisations of current systems are considered to be the main reasons for this self-confidence. Moreover, according to experts, the future-orientated cooperation of NETZSCH Grinding and Dispersing with the British Malvern Instruments Ltd., could become a real sales engine.

One of the most comprehensive optimisations of NETZSCH-CONDUX was the complete conceptual redesign of the Condux^® impact mill.  

A lot of specially designed systems, already equipped with the essential characteristics of the new mill concept have been in operation most successfully before they gave rise to start the development of Condux^®

On the other hand, the redesigned version holds all the proven construction features of prior machine generations, while on the other hand the engineers created an extremely flexible toolbox system around them. This concept brings the classical design specifications in an appropriate context with the demands of the operator.

Mainly thanks to the new toolbox system, Condux^® offers significantly more flexibility in product processing, compared to conventional universal rotor impact mills. NETZSCH-CONDUX refrains from the integration of unused features from the start, supplying only what the customer needs for his process.

A further portfolio highlight is the recently completed and most innovative Economic Dispersioniser Omega^®. The name stands for a continuously working system that uses a newly designed dispersing unit, also promising to set new standards regarding wear, energy and maintenance effort as well as heat emission.

An optimum combination of the factors turbulence, cavation and shearing forces plays a vital role in this process. According to statement of the machine builder, Omega^® belongs to the most cost effective of this kind on the market. NETZSCH Feinmahltechnik is going to offer three different performance classes between 30 l/h and 2,000 l/h. The parameters of the Omega^® did not only convince the stand visitors during Powtech 2013, but moreover the jury of the Innovation Award, which was awarded for the sixth time in the fair context. The dispersing unit could prevail against all other, likewise highly interesting innovations in the category of apparatus building and process components.

The decision of NETZSCH Grinding and Dispersing to form a strategic alliance with the English material characterisation specialists of Malvern Instruments Ltd attracted international attention. The combination of the wide machine program and the process technology know-how of NETZSCH with the outstanding experience of Malvern Ltd. in the field of particle properties characterisation was generally considered appropriate and favourably received.

The alliance creates a worldwide service network with extraordinary possibilities of laboratory analysis and consulting, as well as a large portfolio of innovative systems, available from now on to every customer.

Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP) Gran-U-Lizer™

To meet the growing demand of Superabsorbent Polymers (SAP) worldwide, Modern Process Equipment Corporation (MPE) features their Model 1060 Gran-U-Lizer. The 1060 is a sophisticated unit that is specifically designed for grinding SAP with precise particle uniformity at the 20 x 100 US Mesh (850 x 150 μm) size range and 30 x 100 Mesh (600 x 150 μm) with minimal “fines” (dust or bi-products), thereby improving process efficiencies throughout the grinding process.

One unique feature is the BAVA (Balance and Vibration Analysis) system that senses when product moisture levels elevate beyond the tolerable range. When this occurs, the product becomes elastic and does not grind efficiently. BAVA senses the material elasticity change and immediately notifies plant personnel. Another benefit of the BAVA system is the ability to predict bearing failures before they occur, further increasing operating efficiencies.
