Ultrafine grinding of coarse
materials without pre-crushing
In contrast to traditional spiral jet
mills, the large, central inlet of the Alpine
Microburst (AMB) spiral jet mill
(photo) allows more coarsely ground
products to be processed directly. Up
to now, this required pre-crushing.
Even fibrous products, which previously
could only be crushed with
great effort or hardly at all, can now
be finely milled with the AMB. The mill
offers benefits for the manufacture of
functional foods or finely ground food
products, for example. Use of the
new AMB spiral jet mill lends itself
perfectly to the trend towards " all natural "
products, where natural flavors
and colors are used in the final products.
The spiral jet mill also opens up
completely new possibilities for processors
of cannabis, fibrous products,
cellulose or biopolymers. Hall

A new, continuous way
to produce tablets

The FE CPS continuous system
(photo) is industry's new state-ofthe-art
solution for continuous dosing
and blending of raw materials,
including conveying and delivering
the high-quality blend to any downstream
powder-processing equipment.
When combined with a tablet
press, the result is a Continuous Direct
Compression line. For tablet production,
the powder is fed from the
FE CPS into the tablet press without
additional granulation. Compared to
granulation-based production, several
steps are eliminated, which reduces
space requirements and energy
consumption and makes the
process leaner overall. The system is
capable of processing a wide range
of ingredients in a variable throughput
range of 5 to 200 kg/h. It can dose
and mix up to six powdered raw materials
and transfer them to the downstream
process. The system unit,
together with the tablet press and
terminal, can be installed on a single
level, facilitating its integration into
existing production environments.

A new peeler centrifuge
with patented features
With the new Bluetector peeler centrifuge
(photo), energy savings of approximately
50,000 kWh/yr can be
realized due to the innovative drive
concepts - even in hazardous areas
up to ATEX zone 1. The elimination
of hydraulic oil and drive belts result
in optimized cleanliness and ease
of maintenance. A slidable machine
cover protects the technical areas of
the machine, facilitates maintenance
work, reduces noise emissions and
ensures a safe working environment
for the machine operator. The new
peeler centrifuge ensures low-shear
and gentle product discharge, offering
maximum flexibility for the discharge
process, as the parameters
can be variably adjusted. Hall 6.0,

Solutions for a
sustainable process industry
Data transmission in the process industry
is an elementary factor when
it comes to the integration of digital
fieldbuses. Against the background of
complete digital communication right
down to the field level, this company's
new Ethernet APL switch (photo)
enables the direct two-wire Ethernet
connection of APL field devices in the
Ex zones. This means that not only
the process data, but also other valuable
device information straight from
the field level, can be used. This is
presented on an APL multi-vendor
panel. Other demonstrators will be
presenting monitoring and surveillance
solutions that enable predictive
maintenance based on NAMUR Open
