CEMA Updates Book on "Belt
Conveyors for Bulk Materials"
Naples, Florida -- 2/2003 -- The
Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association, CEMA, is updating the
book "Belt Conveyors for Bulk Materials".
The
Committee working on the project has determined that there are some
topics that will require outside resources to adequately update and
is seeking that expertise from all available sources. The
Committee has developed several "Scope of Work" documents
covering these topics and is seeking budgetary estimates for the
work so that it can request authorization for the funds from the
CEMA Board of Directors to have the work done.
If you are interested in providing
budgetary estimate for any one or all of the topics and being added
to the bid list, please provide your replies to CEMA by mail,
E-mail, or fax by February 15, 2003.

Metal-Free
Processing
Eirich & Noll Strengthen Through
Technology Exchange
The innovative combination of Eirich
milling and Noll classifying technology has created entirely new
perspectives in the powder processing industry. In December 2002 a
breakthrough in milling and classifying technology was achieved with
the combination of the Eirich MaxxMill and the Noll MultiNo-SE
Classifier. The combined units were started up at the Noll Cologne
site in Germany, with immediate success.
Based
on the available impressive results, Eirich has also decided upon
the acquisition of the classifier to upgrade their technical
laboratory. The Eirich MaxxMill is very well suited for products,
that up to now have been processed on standard ball mills, and that
require cost effective processing and constant quality. The quality
and performance potential of the MaxxMill was rightly recognized and
through the design and construction of a special classifier for the
finest size range (D50 ˜ 1 - 40µm) effectively improved.
Producers who have so far milled
their products in large quantities by wet ball milling or smaller
quantities using jet milling technology to very fine particle sizes,
can now, through the use of this dry system, save time, energy and
processing costs. On top of that, the equipment can be used much
more flexibly because of its much lower starting quantities and
waste-material quantities, which is especially important in the
processing of high cost materials.
The arrangement is specially suited
for the metal-free processing of ceramic raw materials, minerals,
frits and glazes with higher throughput and sharper top cut in the
finest size range. Through this technology exchange the strengths of
the two companies, Noll's classifying technology and Eirich's
milling technology, are used to achieve new possibilities in the
powder processing industry.
