Conveyor Saves Sugar Factory From a
'Sticky' Situation
The Netherlands --Spaans Bulk
Handling Systems will deliver a the E-B S Conveyor to a sugar
factory in Germany for conveying hot "earth foam" at a
temperature of 50șC. "Earth foam" is a sticky residue
from washing sugar beets.
The
installation is planned to be operational at the end of August this
year and for this project Spaans is working together with
engineering company MCE from Beverwijk, The Netherlands.
An important consideration for the
customer the routing had to cross a road on their factory site and
the product is sticky. Possible remains of the product can stick to
conventional belt conveyors, even after discharge. On the return
path these remains could fall down on the road during this route.
Since the E-B S conveyor is folded shut immediately after discharge
and then turned to it's original position this problem is does not
occur here.
The heart of the Spaans E-B S
Conveyor is a fabric-reinforced belt. Solid rubber triangles are
vulcanized to both edges of the belt and it hangs as a pouch
underneath the triangles and enclosing the conveyed material.
Because the belt is folded shut during the whole route, loss of
product is prevented.
At the discharge point the belt is
folded open over a head drum and the product is discharged. Another
feature of the E-B S Conveyor is that it is powered by a so called
multi-point drive system. By using multiple drives along the route
the belt tension can be kept low and no heavy tensioning
construction is required.

Show
Goes To Annual Schedule
EastPack Show Moves to New York City
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June
26, 2002--Canon Communications LLC has announced that its EastPack
show will now be held on an annual basis in New York City.
This
broad-based packaging event -- which earlier this month attracted
more than 9,200 buyers to the Javits Convention Center -- will
continue its co-location with the Medical Design & Manufacturing
(MD&M) East, Atlantic Design & Manufacturing, and PLASTEC
East shows. The combined events offer the largest resource of
products and services for the Northeast's thousands of design,
manufacturing, and packaging professionals.
Industry-leading packaging suppliers
were quick to praise both the success of this year's EastPack show
and the decision to annualize it in the future. "Within the
first two hours of the show, we sold one machine and continued this
success by selling a total of six machines at EastPack," said
Leanne M. Adams, Belcor Industries Inc.
"We were pleasantly surprised by
the high quality attendance at the show," said Erik Bronander,
Scandia Packaging Machinery. "It was a diverse all-encompassing
event with a healthy mix of corporate to small- and medium-size
customers in attendance."
"Due to Canon's promotional
efforts as well as our own, we received excellent and abundant leads
and were able to draw crowds of attendees to the show and to our
booth, in a time when show traffic is traditionally down across all
industries. We look forward to exhibiting at the upcoming WestPack
and at next year's EastPack," said Bob Ciok, PVC Container
Corp.
Canon is confident of recreating this
success on the West Coast too, where its well-known WestPack show
will co-locate February 19-21, 2003, with MD&M West, Pacific
Design & Manufacturing, and PLASTEC West. The resulting
"mega-event" will occupy every square foot of exhibit
space in the vast Anaheim Convention Center, creating what many
consider the largest design and manufacturing exhibition in North
America.
The shows are part of the worldwide
family of trade events produced and managed by Canon Communications
LLC. Information can be found at www.canontradeshows.com
, or by calling 310/445-4200.

Non-Churning
Action
Delumper Crusher Features Outboard
Bearings
Livingston, NJ -- Delumper brand
crushers employ a positive, once-thru, non-churning crushing action
for dependable reduction of agglomerates, lumps, and solids.
These
effective units de-agglomerate solids to basic grain size without
fines, over-grind, or heat-rise. Delumper Crushers employ a solid,
one-piece housings, smooth rotating drum with cutting teeth, shaft
seals, large inlet and discharge openings and wide mounting flanges.
For severe service conditions,
extended bearing supports with packing seals are optionally used for
extended spacing of bearings from the cutting chamber. Delumper
Crushers are supplied with smooth polished seamless bodies and are
precision constructed for low noise and vibration.
The Delumper can be supplied as a
stand-alone unit or as part of a complete engineered system. A
combination of engineering experience, high quality standards and
excellent service make Franklin Miller the top choice for size
reduction applications.

Mr. Rawal needs to weigh his
silos:
We are using stainless steel conical bottom silos
of 25 m3 capacity for storing dry pharmaceutical powder.
The silos are mounted on six cylindrical equi-spaced
pipe supports of 250mm diameter connected to the silo at a height of
3 meter from the ground (just at the end of conical portion and the
start of cylindrical portion). The nominal gross loading of
the silo is 20 tonnes.
We are looking for clamp-on type load
cells which can be mounted without cutting the legs or any change in
the foundation and can give an accuracy of +/- 1% or better. (Click

I am looking for solutions to unloading these
sacks from pallets and adding to liquid mixes. We use several
thousand sacks and speed of mix is essential.
