BULK MATERIAL SOLUTIONS GLOBAL INDUSTRIES brabender TECHNOLOGIE

GLOBAL INDUSTRIES. SECTORS. WORLDWIDE. Bulk materials are used in all kinds of manufacturing processes. Granules, powders, flakes, liquids – they represent the basis of most industrial products. It is self-evident in food products or plastics, but less obvious in many other industries. In this brochure we will demonstrate the wide range of applications that Brabender feeders have. We will take you with us on a journey through global manufacturing and show you how you can use Brabender Technologie’s equipment, to manufacture detergents, toners, plaster and textile fibers for example.

INDUSTRIES CHEMICALS AUTO AUTOMOBILES DETERGENTS RECYCLING BUILDING MATERIALS Many items we encounter in our daily lives are made of granules, powders or liquids: roof tiles made of fired clay, automobile tires made of rubber. But finished products can also be bulk materials, like detergent, plaster or insulation flakes.

ANALYSIS. DEVELOPMENT. TECHNICAL CENTER. What in fact are bulk materials? They inclu- flow properties and identify the optimum fee- de, for example, powders, granules, flakes ding device for your application during feeding and fibers. They can be sticky or free-flowing, tests. We have superb facilities for this purpo- abrasive or corrosive, dimensionally stable or se in our Technical Center in Duisburg as well deformable – just to mention a few proper- as at other Brabender locations around the ties. They differ in terms of their sensitivity world. We will therefore find the optimum con- to...

PROPERTIES OF BULK MATERIALS Foil shreds – interleaving Microgranules – free-flowing Optical brightening agents – hygroscopic Sand – abrasive Soot – bridging, explosive Resin- / wax-nuggets – adhesive EVERY BULK MATERIAL BEHAVES DIFFERENTLY Not all powders are the same. Properties like particle size, shape and distribution, moisture content or humidity absorption have an impact on flow behavior. Added to that is the surface structure of individual particles, bulk density and consistency, static charging during mixing operations as well as during the filling and emptying of silos and tanks....

DIVERSITY REQUIRES GUIDANCE To provide optimum guidance, we have segmented the wide range of options available for various operations. This enables you the customer to identify all of Brabender Technologie’s machines immediately and classify them according to your requirements as appropriate. FINELY TUNED FEEDERS PRECISION WEIGHING Our V-FEED and G-FEED brands offer you a range of Brabender Technologie offers a range of different different volumetric and gravimetric feeders (by volume solutions branded S-BATCH and M-BATCH for the au- or weight) for your bulk material handling requirements....

(PRACTICALLY) ALL IN ONE! Our FlexWall®Plus loss-in-weight feeder is a great example of how highly effective our equipment is. This all-purpose metering feeder is suitable for nearly every type of bulk material and is at home in every bulk material-processing industry around the globe. Be it in G-Feed (gravimetric feeder) or V-Feed (volumetric feeder) format, our FlexWall®Plus ensures consistent screw fill levels and Massage paddle proper mass flow thanks to its paddle-massaged flexible hopper. This is particularly important bulk materials that are sensitive or have poor flow properties....

INDUSTRIES IN FOCUS Industries are constantly developing new production methods. Long-serving materials are making way for entirely or partially new ones incorporating altered raw ingredients. High-tech plastics are replacing steel, new composite materials with a range of very different makeups are being created. Manufacturing methods are changing too, for example, from batch weighing through continuous production processes. Why? The market requires weight savings, durability and costeffectiveness. Material properties and coloration are becoming more and more important. As a specialist...

We require information to begin with. We can only select the right equipment and configurations to meet your needs, if we have an accurate knowledge of your bulk material and process. Key factors in the choice of equipment are material properties such as bulk weight, particle size and flow behavior, as well as the positioning of the equipment within your process. Be it in the laboratory or in a hot, dusty, explosive industrial environment, we will find the right solution to meet your challenge.

DETERGENT Around nine million tons of detergent are produced annually. Whether in liquid, gel or powder form, detergent production involves a wide range of substances, like surfactants, water softeners, washing alkalis, enzymes, silicons, fragrances and anti-caking salts that keep washing powders powdery during storage, being mixed together. Washing powder, production of heavy-duty detergents THE CHALLENGE: FEEDING LARGE QUANTITIES Worldwide detergent consumption requires huge volumes of production capacity. Output figures of 80 tons an hour in just one plant are no exception. This by far...
