The plant manufacturer Intensiv-Filter is specified on it and presents from June 18th to June 22nd, 2012 his solutions for more energy-efficient filter technology. Under the motto "Energy-efficient filtering installations" Intensiv-Filter will inform about proven applications of dust separating plants as well as about the optimisation of energy

Capacitive level limit switch for various level control in bulk solids Plant operators are familiar with the challenges of fluctuating processing properties of raw materials, varying operating conditions in silos or pipelines and the requirement for ex-certificates. Such requirements call for a low cost level limit switch, which will apply to a wide range of applications. Thus, plant operators can save money on upgrading of parts, plant maintenance and spare parts logistics. The new universal sensor Capanivo ® 4000 from UWT GmbH works in a variety of applications and under the most adverse conditions. It meets the latest IEC 60076 series of standards for explosion protection. Automatical earthing with metal silos because of contact with metal at process connection simplifies installation. Since the sensor is fully integrated in the sensor head, the Capanivo ® 4000 can also be used in non-conductive containers made of plastic or wood. The operating temperature range for the Capanivo is -40 ° C to +180 ° C. The ambient pressure may

Ingeniously simple level controls for bulk solids with UWT rotating paddle switches PNP Electronics The new PNP electronics for the Rotonivo® 3000 and Rotonivo® 4000 ranges uses 3-wire electronics technology with a non-contact output, open collector, PNP. The maximum output current is 0.4A. These electronics can be connected to any standard PLC with 24V DC power supply and PNP input card. The detection signal – the sensor switched to either ‘full/occupied’ or ‘empty/unoccupied’ – is not via micro switches as in the past, but using Hall sensors. Via two Potentiometers, both detection signals 1 and 0 can be time delayed. Additionally a jumper can be switched between FSH and FSL. Heating protection has been installed in the electronics in order for the device to be used in temperatures of less than -20 ° C.

RETSCH"s new sample dividers A faultless and comparable analysis is closely linked to accurate sample handling. Only a sample representative of the initial material can provide meaningful analysis results. This can be achieved by using a rotating sample divider, such as RETSCH’s new PT 100. It divides the sample so exactly that the composition of each of the 6, 8 or 10 fractions corresponds exactly to that of the original bulk sample. This applies both for fine-powdered and coarse materials up to 10 mm feed size. The material feed and dividing processes take place automatically and without loss of material. The new rotary tube divider PT 200 allows for the representative, dust-free division and reduction of larger volumes of bulk goods. The ratio of the fractions is freely adjustable. Both dividers feature digital time setting and comfortable quick-release clamps. Retsch is the leading solution provider for neutral-to-analysis sample preparation and characterization of solids. On the basis
