Chemical Engineering September 2022 - 29

Show Preview
Powtech 2022, a leading tradefair
for powder and bulk solids processing
and analytics, takes place from
September 27-29 in Nuremberg,
Germany. Visitors will experience the
latest mechanical equipment and systems
for the processing, analysis and
handling of powder, granulate and
bulk solids in four halls, including the
state-of-the-art Hall 3A. This year's
tradeshow, which is running together
with Fachpack, expects over 1,600
exhibitors from Europe.
In lectures, seminars, live demonstrations,
guided tours and special
shows, visitors will receive useful
practical knowledge from speakers.
In the Expert Forum " stagetalks, " the
focus will be on innovative processes
for modern battery and energy-storage
production. In the food sector,
one topic will be protein shifting in the
drying of vegetable protein sources.
What follows is a sample of some
products being exhibited at the show.
Mixing solutions to
save energy, time and space
The High Efficiency Shovel (HES;
photo) is a special shovel for mixing
solids in horizontal Ploughshare mixers.
The tool is designed to require
less drive power than a standard
shovel. Unlike standard shovels, this
in-house development has an opening
in the shovel blade. This corresponds
to 85% of the surface area. Depending
on the product, the HES permits a reduction
of the startup torque by up to
20% and reduces the reactive power.
This makes it possible to design a
mixer with a lower motor rating. When
used with the Ploughshare mixer, the
design reduces torque by approximately
10% to save even more energy.
The HES is suitable for industries
that process dry, free-flowing solids
with small particle sizes. Hall 3, Stand

Mixing and dispersing
equipment for new trends
This company will present, among
other products, a Big-Bag Tower with
the optimized discharge aid Flex FSA
for emptying poor-flowing powders
without residue, as well as the inline
powder wetting and dispersing machine
Conti-TDS 3. The Multipurpose
X100 disperser can be used for different
tasks, such as jet-stream mixing
and dispersing, as well as mixing
and dispersing processes, and for the
inducting and wetting of powders,
through simple replacement of the
tool shaft. Dispersers of the Multipurpose
series are used in chemical, food,
cosmetics and pharmaceutical production.
Also showcased is the new
BATT-TDS powder dispersing system
(photo), which reduces manufacturing
times for lithium-ion-electrode slurries
in battery production from currently between
two and six hours to just a few
minutes. Hall 3, Stand 329 - ystral

A sinter-plate filter for higher
temperatures
This company's Sinter-Plate Filters with
PE-based matrix base materials can
be used at operating temperatures of
up to 70°C and, as a thermostabilized
variant, up to 100°C. With the newly
developed, patented BETA (photo),
based on a sintered matrix made of
PPS, now allows the use of all known
features of the classic sinter-plate filter
up to a continuous operating temperature
of 160°C. The new filter medium is
extremely resistant to chemical attack
and also hydrolysis, as well as having
a pH-resistance range of 1 to 10.
In addition, the new filter medium can
be operated with reduced pre-cleaning
pressure, leading to lower operating
costs and significantly increased energy
efficiency. Pilot tests have been
performed on a variety of applications,
including dryer applications, biomassincineration
plants, extraction from
rotary kilns, glass tank dedusting and
high-temperature filtration behind mill
systems. Hall 3, Stand 349. - Herding
