5G innovations
for ex
environments
First 5G smartphone for
ATEX Zone 1/21 IS540.1
from i.safe MOBILE is a
game changer for chemical
industry
ith the rapid transition
to 5G technology
and the use
of compatible mobile
devices such as the
IS540.1, companies can
finally digitise their production
and processes
for remote maintenance,
IIOT and augmented reality,
even in sensitive ex zones. The 5G concept
offers advantages for new automation
applications and for machine-to-machine
communication, as large amounts of data
are exchanged almost in real time with minimal
latency. Areas of application for the new
industrial smartphone IS540.1 from i.safe
MOBILE are scenarios in explosion hazardous
areas such as control/monitoring of
mobile robots, autonomous campus driving
and platooning (automated column driving)
near-real-time monitoring in process automation,
workflow in the control loop and in
plant control, asset tracking, access control
and logistics management.

In general, a thin film evaporator consists
of a rotor and a heated cylindrical jacket.
This seems rather simple, however, to
achieve an effective evaporation and to get
a product of high purity, many details need
to be considered. Two main challenges appear
to guarantee an effective process and
a high-quality product.
The first challenge is to distribute the
incoming feed out of a pipe as evenly as
possible on the heated jacket. A fast and
from i.safe MOBILE supports customers of
the chemical industry for process changes
due to the transition from 4G/LTE to 5G,
such as PoC/video PTT, automation, augmented
reality and predictive maintenance.
With a powerful Qualcomm® QCM6490
chipset, the smartphone has high-performance
AI and computing capabilities,
while the 48MP main camera ensures high
image quality. The IS540.1 further features
a clear 6-inch display, PTT functionality and
is equipped with a multifunctional ISM interface
and a powerful speaker. Dual Band
Wi-Fi 6 (with 2.4 and 5 GHz support) connectivity
enables additional efficiency gains,
faster data transmission at higher data
rates in industrial communications.
Around 3000 customers worldwide, including
Fortune 500 companies, rely on
i.safe MOBILE's products, customised software
and service solutions certified to international
standards such as ATEX, IECEx and
NEC 500. i.safe MOBILE is certified Android
Enterprise Silver Partner in the Android
Enterprise Partner Program initiated by
Google.
Thin Films in Large Devices
Thin film evaporators of Buss-SMS-Canzler
he separation of volatile components
from a solution is a common task for
many chemical processes. Especially in case
of thermal sensitive products, a thin film
evaporator offers a good possibility to attack
the task.
T
even distribution of the feed on the jacket
guarantees an efficient use of the heated
wall and leads to a maximum evaporation.
During the distribution process no droplets
should be generated to prevent the contamination
of the distillate. Buss-SMS-Canzler
developed distributors for thin film evaporators,
as well as for short path evaporators,
to fulfill both demands by means of
computational fluid dynamics.
The second challenge is to choose the
right blades for the rotor, depending on the
physical properties of the liquid. Especially
when chemical reactions or particles in
the liquid must be taken into account. The
blades shall lead to an optimal contact of
the liquid and the heated wall to maximise
the evaporation rate. They can also reduce
the effect of fouling or incrustations. The
properties of the different blades, offered
by Buss-SMS-Canzler, have been investigated
by computational fluid dynamics too,
to better understand their effects on the
thin film.
The usage of modern tools and methods
in combination with their years of experience
enable Buss-SMS-Canzler to design
high-quality and effective devices.

challenge, " says Hubert Stojanovic,
Vice President Performance Materials at
Zeppelin Systems GmbH. Find out how
we can create solutions for you too, visiting
us in Hall 4 at stand 4-524. We Create
Solutions!
rom September 26 to 28,
Friedrichshafen-based plant
manufacturer Zeppelin Systems
will be presenting a wide range
of products and services in
the field of material handling
together with Magdalena
KITZMANN GmbH (Zeppelin
Systems holds a majority stake)
at POWTECH in Nuremberg.
From mixers to silos, components in
pneumatic conveying systems, smart control
concepts to the production of turnkey
plants and after-sales service: The Zeppelin
Systems and KITZMANN partnership offers
a symbiosis that is one-of-a-kind worldwide
in regards to in-house production depth.
Process plants as well as mixers, silos and
components are manufactured in-house in
order to consistently and sustainably meet
customers' high-quality demands.
Zeppelin Systems underlines the customer
and service promise " We Create
Solutions " by continuously adapting and
further developing its products. This is also
the case with the rotary sifter RS 7, which
will be on display as an exhibit
at POWTECH: It can now be
equipped with the new, blue
screen mesh from Zeppelin
Systems. Filter fragments due
to abrasion or wear are thus
reliably identified and absolute
food safety is guaranteed.
The rotary sifter RS is used in
the food, chemical, plastics
