3D format parts for in-house printing in consistently high quality
Specially developed valve for installation with plastic pipes
Even under normal conditions it is not simple to always have the right motor on hand to address a wide range of applications. It is all that much more difficult in large chemical companies if several thousand drives have to be kept running around the clock in harsh explosive environments. In the future, one of the largest chemical companies in the world will be depending on a team of external specialists and the comprehensive range of Simotics XP explosion-protected motors from Siemens.
Block I/O series with ex-approval enables cabinet-free modularization right into ATEX Zone 0
For submersible pumps in cryogenic applications
Around three years ago, EBRO ARMATUREN worked closely with its customers to develop a butterfly valve adapted specifically to the requirements of the chemicals industry. A prototype has already been deployed in the food and beverage sector, including at Schneider Weisse. Besides the FDA compliance required with regard to food and pharmaceutical technology, resistance to chemically aggressive media...

Pepperl+Fuchs Introduces New Event Format
The world is going digital - this applies to our private lives as well as to large parts of our work. In the process industries, the focus is often on end-to-end digital engineering, the analysis of big data, or the utilization of legacy data. But in what way can digitalization change daily work routines and increase work efficiency? A practical example is provided by the specialty chemicals company Lanxess, which has abandoned the classic clipboard, thus demonstrating very clearly what digitalization actually means and what benefits it offers.

Gerhard Schubert GmbH strengthens its pioneering role in packaging technology during the 2020 pandemic year
AIMPLAS coordinated the European LIFE ECOMETHYLAL Project, which has ended with the construction of a plant capable of extracting up to half a kilo of methylal from each kilo of non-recyclable waste. Methylal can be used as a solvent and as a raw material to produce new plastics. The project focused on recovering waste, mainly from the automotive, electrical and electronic, and packaging sectors, by means of chemical recycling.
IP65/NEMA 4 enclosure with interchangeable sensing module for easy replacement
Autumn is the right time for the annual flu vaccination – at least in the northern hemisphere. South of the Equator, populations are vaccinated in the spring. Twice a year, pharmaceutical manufacturers need to produce millions of vaccine doses in a short time to meet demand for the protective drugs. An internationally active supplier relies on Schubert-Pharma to package its syringes containing the vaccine.
"All-in-one" process for feed and fertiliser production
Global data volumes are growing exponentially as a result of digitization. More and more industrial processes are being monitored, analyzed, and automated using sensors. The new JUMO Cloud and the JUMO smartWARE SCADA make an important contribution to the development of the intelligent factory of the future.
Size matters – particularly in competitive markets such as pharma and nutraceuticals due to its direct result on costs. Tradichems patented Hipering® process begins right at the start of the process chain by miniaturizing the ingredients. Thanks to Piab’s piFLOW®p vacuum conveyor their patented process is continuously fed thus maintaining the required pressure level.
For optimal alignment and focus
Restrictions relating to the pandemic are currently affecting all economic sectors and no one knows how long this will last. But one thing is certain: production processes must continue or restart, and interrupted new projects must be resumed as soon as possible.
Fair will take place from September 30 to October 1 with changes in format
Precision weighing and quality control inspection technology is an important element in any processing operation. Reducing giveaway and ensuring food safety both remain significant contributors to profitability.
The guidelines for contract filling of nutritional supplements and cosmetics are strict. Fast and easy product changes, compliance with food and pharmaceutical standards, and high energy efficiency for sustainable resource conservation are among them.
