Adjustment installation improves quality of compost
Adjustment installation improves quality of compost
HVC tries to give waste a new life. The waste that can not be processed further, is converted into electricity, heat or green gas. The installation in Purmerend makes compost of organic waste and food leftovers from the green container for fertilizing gardens. Jansen&Heuning has modified the existing installation at HVC Purmerend, whereby an extra screening installation has been built in. This will improve the quality of the compost. The adjustment to the installation consists of screw conveyors JHS500, conveyor belts and platforms. Since the existing installation had to be adjusted, our engineering measured the entire process and worked it out in 3D in order to achieve an optimal connection with the existing installation. “The reason for this investment was to improve the quality of the compost. The cooperation with Jansen&Heuning went well; there was proper consultation and we were able to help each other well. The installation is also doing well; the quality of

What should actually be considered when purchasing a screening machine? As an expert for screening machines RHEWUM has an answer
What should actually be considered when purchasing a screening machine?
As an expert for screening machines RHEWUM has an answer First considerations in advance Before you contact potential suppliers, you should be clear about the general conditions for the new screening machine. Keep in mind that every increase in quality requirements leads to an increase in costs, as the required screen areas have to be increased. In production engineering, therefore, the basic principle is: as exact as necessary and as imprecise as possible. An often underestimated question is: Should the machine be planned into an existing building or is the building still to be erected? While directly driven screening machines hardly emit any vibrations and are therefore statically negligible, these must be taken into account with vibrating machines. The statics of the building must be adapted to the machine type and may become a cost driver. Experience has shown that vibrating screening machines at great building heights can cause lasting damage to weak structures. Furthermore, the height situation must often be taken into

JHBB300 loading bellow for Alpuro Breeding Jansen&Heuning has deliverd a loading bellow to Alpuro in Uddel, the Netherlands. Alpuro Breeding provides the livestock former everything he/she needs for a successful calf breeding. Alpuro was looking for a loading bellow for both the discharge in open trucks and bulk trucks. Reason for the replacement of the existing bellows was the dust that the installation produced. The biggest challenge was the installation dimensions; the loading bellow should not be more than 850 mm high in retracted position, while the stroke of the loading bellow should be at least 2.100 mm. Furthermore, the loading bellow is equipped with a capacitive sensor that automatically follow the product level.

Protein Shifting and Enrichment with Dry Grinding and Classifying Dry fractionation for cost effective processing of premium quality products with a high protein content
Protein Shifting and Enrichment with Dry Grinding and Classifying
Dry fractionation for cost effective processing of premium quality products with a high protein content Worldwide, the food supply chain is being faced with change. On the one hand, the increasing growth of the worldwide population creates an increasing need for foodstuffs, including a supply of proteins. This increasing need cannot be covered by animal proteins/products alone, due to the land requirements of livestock. On the other hand, the growing demand by consumers for sustainable production methods must be taken into account. The criticism of the sustainability of animal products in particular is expanding: The land usage and water consumption as well as greenhouse gas emissions of these products, in comparison to those of cultivated crops, are many times higher. Alternative sources of protein are being sought, and they play an important role for meeting future population needs. In addition to plant products, mushrooms, algae or insects, can be placed in this category. Currently, soy is the most common of the crops used as a meat substitute based on plant material.

Vortex Roller Gates Offer Long Life Handling Grain
Vortex Roller Gates Offer Long Life Handling Grain
In 1996, Vortex worked with Alltech, an animal health company, to assist with the handling of grain at their facility. Application: The client’s specifications include: •Quantity: 2 Vortex Roller Gates •Gate Size: 660 mm opening •Blade & seal retainers constructed from 304 stainless steel •Contact areas constructed from 304 stainless steel & polymer Results: Since their installation in 1996, these Vortex Roller Gates have required very limited maintenance other than the replacement of a set of bonnet seals on one of the gates. “After 24 years of service, we needed to pull one of the gates as it began leaking around the seal,” said Robert Stuart, Maintenance & Facilities Manager at Alltech. “After dismantling the valve, we were awestruck on how well it looked and held up over the past 24 years as our products are abrasive and have severely worn down many other pieces of equipment over the years.” The Vortex Roller Gate is designed with several replaceable

Lödige`s Ringlayer mixer CoriMix® for continuous operation especially developed for creating very fine granules
Lödige`s Ringlayer mixer CoriMix® for continuous operation
especially developed for creating very fine granules The Lödige CoriMix® is a high-speed, continuous mixer that creates very fine granules through the homogeneous mixing of liquids into powdery substances. The machine is relatively small but once the process is well defined, the CoriMix® can handle high throughputs. The powder is dosed from above and the liquid can be added through nozzles on the bottom of the CoriMix® or through the mixing shaft. By mixing the powder with a liquid and eventually a binding agent, you will create a bridging effect which automatically creates small granules. In general the resulting grain size is between 100 µm and 1.5 mm. If you target bigger granules, then a continuous Lödige Ploughshare® mixer KM or a Lödige Ploughshare® mixer FKM or FM for batch processes is the better solution.

Quality and efficiency improvement through screening technology RHEWUM presents solution for difficult screening tasks in the fertilizer industry
Quality and efficiency improvement through screening technology
RHEWUM presents solution for difficult screening tasks in the fertilizer industry Introduction Typical phosphate fertilizers have specifications that allow particle sizes between 2 mm and 4 or 5 mm. In addition, these products are often expected to have a quality of more than 90 percent, which means that only 10 percent of the particles may be outside the specialized range. On the other hand, phosphate fertiliser production plants have a production rate of several hundred tonnes per hour. Phosphate granulate tends to clog the screen meshes. If this occurs, production must be stopped to allow the meshes to be cleaned or replaced. The biggest challenge of a phosphate screening machine is therefore to obtain a high quality material with a high throughput while ensuring a low downtime for maintenance. Our solution - the WA(U) screening machine The concept of the Rhewum wa/WA(U) screening machine consists of directly excited screening meshes which are positioned at an angle to transport the material over the screen. The whole machine housing does not

BK Giulini continues to rely on screening machines from RHEWUM
BK Giulini continues to rely on screening machines from RHEWUM
The company BK Giulini from Ladenburg, Germany, which sells its products under the brand name ICL, used an old screening machine from RHEWUM to classify monosodium phosphates as well as sodium pyrophosphates. These mentioned phosphates can be found among others in food, cosmetics or also in metal surface treatment. For 50 years this screening machine type B27/180 has been in operation at BK Giulini. The high maintenance requirements in recent years have now prompted the company to replace the old machine. BK Giulini has again decided in favour of a screening machine made by RHEWUM as the good quality and reliability of these screening machines speak for themselves. The challenge this time was to maintain the supply and discharge assemblies and thus to manufacture the new screening machine with a perfect fit. As it is essential in the food industry that products are free of any contamination, the screening machine was manufactured from the high quality stainless steel

How Hosokawa’s solutions can support the insect processing trend
How Hosokawa’s solutions can support the insect processing trend
In the face of rising pressure on the planet’s natural resources, the world is looking for more sustainable ways to guarantee a long-term food supply for the growing population. Insects have long been acknowledged as a rich source of protein, and they place a much smaller burden on the environment compared to animals that are traditionally farmed for meat. It is therefore no coincidence that process technology expert Hosokawa Micron is seeing a growing demand for insect-processing equipment. Ashwin Jagmohan, Application Engineer Food at Hosokawa Micron, has noticed rising interest in the company’s mixing and drying equipment for insect-based applications. “A growing proportion of the food and feed-related enquiries we receive are for the processing of insects such as black soldier fly larvae, mealworms and crickets,” he says. “Another interesting area is the drying and milling of waste streams such as fish heads because of a more cradle-to-cradle mindset.
