a large volume of drying air into the
drum. The innovative concept ensures
a high drying capacity and hence high
spraying rates. The undesirable effect
of spray drying, resulting in spraying
losses
during
coating,
is
effectively
prevented. Advanced sensors also facilitate
optimization of the spraying and
drying process, and simple and safe
adjustment of the nozzle arm makes
handling easier. Hall 1, Stand 517 -

Packaging film that enables quick,
easy opening without tools
This company's stretch-film packaging
system, the Stretch Hood A, can
be used in a variety of different industries.
The system can now be supplied
with a newly developed, easy opening
hood, which enables employees
in retail stores and logistics centers
to quickly and easily remove the film
when unpacking
or
repacking
the
goods, without the use of any cutting
tools. To achieve this, the company
partnered with a well-known film supplier
to develop a technology that allows
users to open the film along a
precise tear line in the center (photo),
without affecting the safety function of
the stretch hood. The user can open
the film quickly and easily, with no tools
required. This considerably increases
unpacking productivity. Hall 1, Stand

These packing systems continue
to get cleaner and smarter
The newly developed packing system of
the Roto-Packer, Integra and Elementra
families is said to have outstanding
features when it comes to cleanliness,
intelligence and profitability. In particular,
the new Roto-Lock dosing unit delivers
clean filling, reliable performance,
intuitive operation and energy saving
function. The company is keeping pace
with the market demands for modular
and future-oriented solutions for the
complete process: from stocking to filling
and loading. By using the Quattro
System Monitoring (photo), companies
are better secured against long downtimes
and high maintenance costs. The
automatic recording of all machine data
saves time and provides reliable information
that otherwise would not be
assured by manual input. Using these
precise data, the performance of the
systems can be compared and comprehensively
optimized - even when
packing at multiple locations. Hall 1,

Filtering iron and stainless steel
from powders and bulk goods
The continuous cleaning Cleanflow
magnet (photo) removes both iron and
stainless steel from powders and bulk
goods, and achieves capacities of up
to 200 m.t./h. The system is suitable
for installation in ATEX zone 20/22 and
can be cleaned without stopping the
product flow. It can be installed directly
below the sieve or even just before the
loading/packing point. The Cleanflow
magnet is easy to integrate into existing
production processes. In addition
to preventing damage claims, magnets
protect machines from seizure due to
iron contamination and resulting expensive
production standstills. The magnet
has been developed for applications
such as those found in the sugar industry,
and can remove the very smallest
particles (down to 10 µm) from the final
phase of the production process. Hall

Realtime process monitoring
and rheology measurements
At Powtech, this company will be demonstrating
pioneering new technology
for in-line,
realtime process monitoring
via an exclusive partnership with
Lenterra Inc., manufacturers of optical
flow sensor technology. Lenterra's
Drag Force Flow (DFF) and Wall Shear
Stress (RealShear) probes (photo)
provide continuous, realtime data, via
optical fibers, enabling users to assess
processes and make decisions
without the need to interrupt operations.
The company will also present
the FT4 Powder Rheometer, a unique
and comprehensive powder tester that
uses patented dynamic methodology,
automated shear cells (in accordance
with ASTM D7891) and a series of bulk
