The big challenge: the highest possible yield of the ingredients in the shortest possible time. This requires optimum, homogeneous grinding of the cannabis plant. No problem with FRITSCH technology. The most common method to extract the active ingredients from the cannabis plant is supercritical CO2 extraction. At a temperature above 31˚C and with high pressure, the CO2 gets into the supercritical state, where it acts as a solvent. Passed through a chamber containing the plant material, it still has the density of a liquid but can fill the entire chamber like a gas. The advantage: The CO2 extracts the cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant without causing denaturation or damage to the product. This produces a safe, high-quality, pure oil that can be processed for a variety of therapeutic uses. The big challenge: the highest possible yield of the ingredients in the shortest possible time. This requires optimum, homogeneous grinding of the cannabis plant. No problem with FRITSCH technology.

Calcium carbonate is a material that originated from the remains of single-celled sea creatures over millions of years of Earth’s history. Today, it is the basis for a range of commonly used building materials, including limestone and dolomite. Finest separations up to 0.1 mm A British customer discussed with RHEWUM ways to renew an aging installation for processing calcium carbonate. Several existing sieving machines and sifters were to be replaced. Fine separations up to 0.1 mm were performed. Setting vibration during operation Machines with direct excitation of the screen fabrics were planned as the machine type. Drives for the decks on which coarser separations were to be performed were unbalanced motors. The decks for fine separations were equipped with oscillating heads that allow the vibration to be changed during operation via thyristor controllers. The machine types of choice were then RHEsono, RHEmoto and RHEfino as a combination of both types. For the task of feeding the material onto the machines, RHEside feeders with lateral feeding were used. Customer requirements were met With

Close-it seals are essential for sampling bulk goods - they close the holes in the container quickly and easily. Taking samples from sacks, boxes, bags, etc. with sampling lances is a common and time-proven practice. This produces holes through which easily flowing bulk goods could escape from the container. With the close-it seal frohm Bürkle GmbH, this can be prevented in an uncomplicated manner. Hermetical seal + labeling close-it has been especially developed for this purpose. The label has a sandwich-type structure (aluminium/paper) and seals the container hermetically (vapour barrier). This virtually prevents hygroscopic powders from clumping together. The label is not just used to provide a hermetic seal. It is also used for providing quality control information (sampling date, release yes/no, name of tester, etc.). Easy to use The closure seals are available in different colours. With printing in red, blue, green, yellow, black or neutral (without pre-print in white). Two sizes are available: 95 x 95 mm or 150 x 150 mm. The labels are supplied on handy rolls. The

Choosing the materials for your FIBC is just as important as composing the right mixture of gases for Modified Atmosphere Packaging. In this article, we’ll look at all the factors to keep in mind when choosing your bag. What are big bags made of? In general, FIBCs for Modified Atmosphere are made of polypropylene, also known as polypropene. This is a thermoplastic polymer, which is made via chain-growth polymerization made from the combination of propylene monomers. That doesn’t mean that all FIBCs are one-size-fits-all though. With liners and coating, but also with the make-up of specific bags, you can make sure that your MAP bag is a perfect fit for your product. Here’s which factors you should keep in mind. Barrier properties The most obvious factor to consider is the barrier properties. The packaging material should have good barrier properties to prevent the infiltration of oxygen, moisture, and other gases that can cause spoilage and discoloration of the food. This can be as simple as checking whether a powder will not leak through a bag, but one should also consider what can get in the bag. Permeability Permeability is the rate at which gases can pass through

Rotary Paddle Level Switch for overfill and dry run protection with SIL2 certification The terms ‘functional safety’ and ‘safety integrity level (SIL)’ have occurred more frequently since the publication of the international standard IEC 61508/IEC61511. Particularly in systems with hazard-causing processes, such as in chemical plants, the consideration of functional safety has become indispensable. On this basis safety-related practices, design principles and error considerations must be met in order to minimize the risk of a dangerous failure. The UWT engineers focused on this topic and designed the rotating paddle switch Rotonivo® RN 6000 series according to the normative requirements of functional safety to ensure safety functions in a risk mitigation in accordance with SIL2. Typical safety functions are overfill and dry run protection. Depending on the requirements, the Rotonivo® rotary paddle switch is used as a full, demand or empty detector in storage silos or process vessels and is suitable for use in almost all solids. With its

VTTI Bio-Energy produces 23 million cubic metres of biogas. Poeth supplies pellet presses, coolers, conveyors, filling systems, silos, steel construction, etc. The company VTTI Bio-Energy will ferment 300,000 tonnes of manure and 25,000 tonnes of organic residues annually at the De Spinder business park near Tilburg and process the digestate into manure pellets. Annually, 23 million cubic metres of biogas will be generated. Of this, about 7 million cubic metres will be upgraded into green gas that will go to the gas grid. Manure pellets Much of the biogas is used to dry the thick fraction of digestate and concentrate from the thin fraction and process it into pellets. Annually, the company will manufacture 40,000 tonnes of manure pellets. The hall consists of three parts and has an area of 2,000 m² and will be 15 metres high. In the middle part, the digestate will be separated and the thin fraction purified into dischargeable water. A second part is used for drying the digestate and processing it into granules, which also houses Poeth’s scope. Poeth Solids Processing’s scope includes : * Three pellet presses *
