TLT-Turbo has launched a new range of mechanical vapour recompression fans, with ceramic hybrid bearings that provide an exceptionally long operational lifespan. Integrating the latest ventilation technologies, this fan offers numerous advantages regarding performance efficiency, minimal maintenance and high reliability.

With separators, heat exchangers and fluid handling equipment, Alfa Laval helps deliver efficient processes in production, and during heating and cooling. The invention of a cream separator was the first milestone on the company’s journey. Over decades, it gathered experience and built up expertise in the field of heat transfer. After eventful times, rapid growth now demonstrates clearly that Alfa Laval has found its way — by concentrating on core competencies, customer requirements and sustainability.

Sustainable heat transfer solutions also for brownfield plants — Christian Stoffers, Energy Division Manager at Alfa Laval Mid Europe, and Fabian Schega, responsible for heat exchangers as Sales Manager in the Service Division, work hand in hand. They are meeting the challenges of digitalization with the aid of connectivity in service.

The Tapflo Group has recently announced a new product series for feeding of filter presses. The piston-diaphragm pumps are designed for heavy duty applications and are used in almost every automotive production plant in Europe.

Solidifying melts and viscous fluids on a steel belt offers a number of advantages including low-dust generation and extremely uniform granules. With its GMP-compliant, steel belt-based Rotoform pastillation system, Ipco offers a solution with particular appeal to manufacturers of foodstuffs, cosmetics and drugs.

Michael Mc Murray will be succeeding Thomas Aebischer who will be retiring from office by this year end. Prior to his appointment at Lyondell Basell, Mc Murray held an eleven-year career at Owens Corning.

The separation of two immiscible liquids contained in the same tank or vessel is a fundamental aspect of many production processes. Optimising the performance of these applications can have a significant effect on final product quality. To achieve this, plant managers need to implement devices that can accurately and reliably measure the interface level between the two liquids.

Even high viscosity pumps come to their application limits very fast, when trying to pump high-viscous, non-flowable substances. The newly developed drum emptying system with a follower plate from Lutz exceeds these limits and the infinitely variable operation enables particularly gentle pumping of pastes and non-flowable substances in the food, pharmaceutical and industrial sectors.

Sustainability and efficient use of resources are also decisive factors in the plastics industry when using new components or in expanding or modernizing existing plants.

The Maag Group, comprising Maag Pump Systems, Automatik, Gala Industries, Reduction Engineering Scheer and, since 2018, Ettlinger Kunststoffmaschinen, is enhancing its systems expertise by focusing on Centers of Excellence.
