Changes in the management at the AZO Group
Robert Zimmermann will be retiring at the end of 2017 – AZO will continue as a family-run After 27 extremely prosperous years, Robert Zimmermann will be retiring as one of the managing partners of the AZO Group in Osterburken at the end of 2017. The current management by Robert and Rainer Zimmermann will be transferred to Rainer Zimmermann as the sole managing partner. The AZO Group will thus stay a family business under the ownership of the Zimmermann families. Robert Zimmermann was born in 1951 as the oldest son of company’s founders Adolf and Marianne Zimmermann. In 1990, he and his younger brother Rainer Zimmermann, as joint managing partners, took over management of the company, which was founded by their parents in 1949. At the time of the takeover by the two brothers, there was, in addition to the Osterburken site, a service and sales subsidiary in the USA, which had been founded by their parents in 1978. The company’s turnover then amounted to 110 million Deutschmark. AZO had 650 employees throughout the world. Today the AZO Group’s turnover

AZO CleanDock®  Clean docked
AZO CleanDock®
Clean docked AZO CleanDock® is a system for docking containers at upstream dosing units. Apart from dust-free transfer between dosing units and mobile containers and decoupling from scales, it provides further functions. This contrasts with the situation when mobile containers are used. The use of this type of system means that there are transfer points between dosing units and the relevant bulk materials container. These transfer points have to satisfy several requirements simultaneously: First, the target receptacle needs to have a cover lid that prevents foreign matter from getting into the inside of the container during storage time. Residual quantities, which typically stick to the outlet of the dosing unit after dosing operations, should be prevented from falling into the plant. Use of special docking systems rules out potential contamination of the plant. A sealed connection between the dosing units and the target receptacle while it is docked is critical to avoid dust

AZO LIQUIDS – Solids meets Liquids
Scherarme Pulverbenetzung In kontinuierlichen Prozessen und bei Semi-Batchverfahren werden Feststoffe beim aktu-ellen Stand der Technik mit schnelldrehenden Werkzeugen (Homogenisatoren, Pumpen, etc.) eingebracht. Dies führt in vielen Fällen zu Qualitätseinbußen bei den so hergestell-ten Suspensionen oder Lösungen. Die neuartige Pulverbenetzung von AZO LIQUIDS kann Feststoffe sehr schonend dispergie-ren, so dass die Struktur von Feststoffpartikeln erhalten bleibt. Dies führt zu qualitativ hoch-wertigen Suspensionen, die in den nachfolgenden Prozessschritten sicher verarbeitet werden können. Mit dem vorgestellten Verfahren werden lösliche und nicht lösliche Trockenstoffe bei vari-abler Scherrate perfekt verarbeitet. In die Trägerflüssigkeit können problemlos mehrere Feststoffe dispergiert und mehrere Flüssigkeiten zu dosiert werden – alles in allem ein hochflexibles System für ein breites Spektrum von Fest- / Flüssig-Anwendungen.
