There are many arguments for the use of advanced internals. One of the best are better efficiency and product quality. (Picture: Harper)
Optimizing Thermal Processes

Using Advanced Rotary Tube Internals to Improve Thermal Processes

The use of tube internals in a rotary furnace can increase heat transfer surface area, improve radial mixing, improve gas-solid interactions, control gas flow direction, and even control material dwell time or velocity through the tube. All of these can result in a reduction of residence time required or increase unit capacity for a given volume of furnace but can also improve product quality and control of quality and uniformity.

Check Valves

A Check Valve for High Pressures

Gas non-return valves (check valves) protect systems, outlet points and pipelines against unwanted and potentially hazardous gas mixtures. For applications in the high-pressure range, the German manufacturer Witt provides two models—one with a maximum operating overpressure of 300 bar (4350 psi)—in its current 600H and 800-ES series.

A Future Protein Source – Thanks to Separation

Separation technology, an important cornerstone in the gentle processing of lupines — The year 2010 — with no particular fanfare in the media, employees of the Fraunhofer Institute found Prolupin. It starts a success story that, thanks to great innovation and strong partners, was awarded the 2014 German Zukunftspreis (Future Prize). And always close at the scientist's side — separator specialist Flottweg. Because only the latest in separation technology solutions can make the processing of lupines possible at an industrial scale.
