Dense Phase Conveying with Conti-Schub®
While dilute phase conveying can be used for a wide variety of materials, its counterpart, the dense phase conveying method, is typically the preferred choice when handling sensitive bulk solids. Plastic pellets such as Polyolefine Elastomere, Polyethylen Resins or Polycarbonate require a gentle handling. Conti-Schub® is, along with the INTACON® control unit the optimal solution for those kinds of materials.

ZV Series Rotary Valves for Gentle Product Handling of Pellets and Granules
Moving material is one of the most important steps in a pneumatic conveying system. However, many forget the essential component that acts as the heart of the manufacturing process to keep material flowing to its next destination. Get a visual snapshot of Coperion’s ZV series rotary valves that answers the questions about the benefits of implementing the device in a production line for handling pellet and granular materials.

How to Upgrade Older Bag Houses with a Modular Cartridge Bin Vent
When bulk solid materials are entered into silos, air is inevitably displaced. As a consequence, ventilation of silos is necessary in order to avoid over-pressurization. Industrial silo filter vents are an effective piece of equipment which ensures safe and efficient operations.

Life Cycle Costs Comparison - Single Screw Feeder vs. Vibratory Feeder
In many applications Loss-in-weight (LIW) feeders are the equipment of choice in order to achieve high accuracies, fast batching and a high level of control. As part of the decision-making process plant managers usually have the freedom to choose between various LIW systems. Coperion K-Tron has recently launched a new line of K3 vibratory feeders based on a unique pendulum technology. How such an improvement in efficiency may affect purchasing decisions can be seen in the following infographic.

Infographic: Partially Government-Funded Replacement of Screw Pumps with Rotary Valves in the Cement Industry
For a long time, screw pumps were an important process element of conveying equipment in cement plants. However, with today's technology standards in mind, they are no longer considered "state-of-the-art" in many applications. In the long term, the energy-intensive operation of screw pumps is very costly, not eco-friendly and thus requires a more sustainable alternative. A better and above all more cost-efficient option are rotary valves.

Continuous Extrusion When Producing Battery Masses
Batteries are taking on more and more significance in our increasingly digitalized and connected world. At the same time, they are crucial for advancements in certain industries and areas such as electric vehicles. To keep up with these fast-moving developments, cost pressures and environmental concerns, manufacturers of batteries are looking into more cost-efficient production processes. Switching from a traditional batch process to a continuous production set-up is known to offer a range of advantages.

Operational Safety for Components in ATEX Environments
Some production areas are at a constant risk of explosion. To mitigate this risk and protect workers, both the production equipment and overall operations need to fulfill high safety standards. ATEX refers to EU regulations defining the minimum safety requirements of the workplace and the equipment used in a potentially explosive atmosphere.

K3 Vibratory Feeder for Extra Gentle Material Handling
Vibratory feeders are highly accurate gravimetric feeding systems that are known for their gentle handling of bulk solids. Thanks to their free-flowing mode of operation, they are especially suitable for hard-to-handle and non-homogeneous bulk materials.

Bio-based Plastics at a Glance
Biopolymer is a special plastic material which is produced by the cells of a living organism. As opposed to synthetic plastic, which is most commonly derived from petrochemicals, bio plastic is made from natural and renewable biomass resources. Bioplastic is not only suitable for various applications but in many cases easier to compost than conventional fossil based plastics.
