The Rotoform family now numbers ten different models, each meeting the needs of a... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/coating_forming_and_agglomeration/9661.html Sat, 1 Sep 2012 0:00:00 EDT   Over 1,000 exhibitors from all over the world will fill six halls at the Nuremberg Fairground for Powtech/TechnoPharm 2011 (October 11–13). Held every 18 months, Powtech — the International Trade Fair for Mechanical Processing Technologies and Instrumentation — is the meeting place... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/coating_forming_and_agglomeration/8436.html Thu, 1 Sep 2011 0:00:00 EDT Coperion The WRG range of water-ring pelletizers (photo) for making pellets of polystyrene (PS) and polyoxymethylene (POM) has the advantage that the cooling and conveying medium (water) does not come into direct contact with the... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/coating_forming_and_agglomeration/7175.html Mon, 28 Mar 2011 0:00:00 EDT     Dinnissen   Up to now, the Pegasus Vacuum Coater (photo) has been used for producing granular and extruded products. Now, a new application for the Pegasus is being introduced: the drying of a variety of... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/coating_forming_and_agglomeration/7680.html Mon, 28 Mar 2011 0:00:00 EDT Powder agglomeration is used in a wide variety of the chemical process industries (CPI), and a virtually endless number of process options are available. Selection requires engineers to make a substantial number of design decisions, such as the choice between wet or dry processing, the intensity of mixing and shear rates, continuous versus batch operation, cross contamination of products and ease of cleaning. These choices must be made in light of desirable agglomerate end-use properties. Key agglomeration mechanisms and their impact on agglomeration processing are reviewed in this article. The impact on process selection is also touched upon within the context of mechanisms.... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/coating_forming_and_agglomeration/5497.html Mon, 1 Mar 2010 0:00:00 EST Linde Gas (Murray Hill, N.J.; edlinks.che.com/6897-538) and partners have developed a high-pressure gas-delivery system that allows coating powders to be sprayed using liquid nitrogen at temperatures that do not melt the powder particles. The system has been optimized to support a new, cold spray gun... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/coating_forming_and_agglomeration/3289.html Sun, 1 Jul 2007 0:00:00 EDT The conventional way to make molded ceramic compontents involves the use of an organic binder (about 10-15 wt.%) to keep the shape of the fine ceramic powders. The binder is then burned off during the sintering process; this not only requires additional energy to burn out the binder (which may also release... http://www.che.com/processing_and_handling/solids_handling/coating_forming_and_agglomeration/3235.html Sun, 1 Apr 2007 0:00:00 EDT
