Metal Conveying Equipment

Aluminium oxide or alumina is a naturally occurring compound of aluminium and oxygen made from bauxite, a dull and earthy rock with high aluminium content. Bauxite is the most common ore of aluminium and you can find it in tropical areas Most of the bauxite mined end up producing aluminium with specific aluminium oxide equipment. Statistics have shown that Australia and Guinea have the largest bauxite deposits in the world. Countries like China, Brazil, and India also have a large amount of the rock.

Landline telephones in the 1980s were minimalist gadgets that kept getting slimmer in the 1990s. In contrast, cell phones in the same period were bulky and cumbersome. And once they lost their charge, they turned into a giant paperweight. Then came a revolution in batteries and automation with lithium-ion battery manufacturing equipment. Mobile phones packed more power, recharged faster, and endured more recharge cycles. Above all, they were light and small, making cell phones the inseparable companions they are today. But Lithium-ion batteries power much more than phones. As a result, the world is seeing steady growth in battery manufacturing equipment and lithium-ion production lines.

Forged metal objects appear seamless, simple items. But as the use of metals changed over time and constructions became more intricate with additive manufacturing, a new way of processing materials surfaced. Metal powder manufacturing replaces the classic blacksmithing techniques, reducing scrap waste in the meantime. The final metal products, however, retain that shiny allure of the archetypal metal pieces.

A pneumatic conveying system moves bulk goods, by means of air pressure, through pipelines. Pneumatic conveyors require less maintenance, as compared to mechanical conveyors, due to fewer moving parts. The enclosed system prevents product loss and guards against contamination. Considerations for choosing a suitable pneumatic conveying system include the particle size of the product, length and complexity of the flow path, the desired flow rate, and sensitivity of the product to heat and mechanical shock. Pneumatic conveying systems are used in various industries to transport bulk powders, granules, and grains for processing and filling.

Ceramics are defined as inorganic and non-metallic materials. Tthey are typically brittle, hard, and elastic as well as resistant to heat and corrosion; in fact, after shaping them into the desired shape, they are heated in an oven called kiln at very high temperatures (1,000 °C to 1,600 °C). Kaolinite and aluminum oxide are the best-known examples of ceramics.

Ceramics

Due to their potential hazardous nature, chemicals are classified for proper identification and safety during production. Chemical classification depends on their properties, structures and functions. In the chemical industry, you can regard them as basic chemicals such as acids, chemical products to produce plastic materials and finished chemicals for use in cosmetology. As a manufacturer or engineer, you want to know their reactivity when using chemical processing equipment.

Cocoa production and the cocoa industry uses industrial processing technology to process and manufacture high quality cocoa products in many different forms. Did you know that cacao cultivation goes back centuries - to be specific, about 5300 years? This plant, with its long history, is also known for its versatile usage. From cocoa nips to cocoa butter, cocoa becomes a base to produce multiple products, ranging from food products to cosmetics. As you may already know, chocolate products are all made from cocoa as well. Hence, depending on what you intend to produce as the end product, as well as your recipe, your cocoa processing equipment line may change.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

We carry dozens of metals around every day. The ubiquitous smartphone is built with no less than 20 metals, each with specific behaviors and purposes. Metals are a pervasive class of materials that have defined entire eras of human development. It is no exaggeration to say that metal processing equipment is the core of our metallic world. But, paradoxically, this manufacturing technology itself is mainly made of metal.

The nearly 5,000 known minerals on earth share some characteristics to be classified as minerals – they are inorganic, solid, naturally occurring elements and have a particular chemical formula and an ordered internal geometric structure. However, minerals are not all the same. One way to divide them is based on their physical characteristics such as hardness, luster, color, and shape. For example, the diamonds we use to make jewelry are very hard minerals while talc is a soft mineral; gold is a shiny mineral while others are less so.

Minerals

A fresh salad with a walnut oil dressing or a peanut butter sandwich? A bag of roasted cashews or a pack of almond cookies? The common thread among these tasty treats is nut processing equipment. Not all nut ingredients are indeed nuts, botanically speaking. But the machinery that transforms shelled fruits, legumes, and drupes into fried snacks or a paste is similar. As for the food products, there is a nut recipe for every mood and occasion.

During the Middle Ages, sugar sweets were a delicacy only for the rich due to the high cost of sugar. Thankfully, the discovery that sugar could be extracted from sugar beets made sweets affordable for everyone. The sweet category is broad, covering chocolates, chewing gums, sugar candies, and candied/glazed products with sugar. To make these confections, sugar manufacturing equipment needs to cover different steps within the production line such as sugar dissolution, syrup cooking and cooling.

A belt conveyor system uses pulleys or drums to keep an endless loop of conveying belts in continuous motion for material handling. Considerations for choosing a suitable conveyor belt system include the physical form of the product, processing requirements, and the desired speed and volume of transportation. Belt conveying systems find numerous applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries such as filling and packaging operations. In the biomass industry, these systems are used for moving biomass feedstock to the boiler. In the mineral industry, conveying belts process and transport granular and crushed minerals. Conveyor belts are heavy-duty machinery that is used to move materials from one place to another. They are commonly used in factories, warehouses, and other industrial settings to move items such as boxes, containers, and other materials along a production line.

Vacuum conveying systems use a pressure gradient to move the product from the inlet to the outlet of a piped system. These systems use a vacuum generator at the delivery end of the pipe to create a vacuum that pulls the material through, unlike pneumatic conveying systems which use air compressors at the inlet to push the material. In addition to the vacuum generator, a basic vacuum conveying system consists of a pick-up nozzle, the conveying line, bends, diverter valves, and the receiver. Considerations for choosing a vacuum conveyor include the particle size of the product, length and complexity of the flow path, the desired flow rate, sensitivity of the product and dilute or dense phase operation. Vacuum systems are suitable for transporting powdered and granular materials for processing and filling operations in various industries.

In the feed sector, it's common to talk about feed as balanced, compound, or concentrate. Many people use one of these terms to refer to any feed mill product. However, the processing of feed concentrates, only requires grinding and mixing. The further transformation into pellets adds is an added value for the market.

Feed concentrates

Flour processing technology has changed drastically since the days of the millstone pulled by a mule. But demand for more refined flour means that the production process is now slower than with more rudimentary techniques. When mixed with water, protein in wheat flour form an elastic gluten structure, giving bakery products their irresistible fluffiness.

Basically, to make milk powder, you need to remove the water content from the liquid milk and turn it into powder. How to do it? After pasteurizing and homogenizing the milk, milk’s water content is removed through filtration, evaporation, and drying. You have then to cool and sieve it before filling the containers. Here's how you get milk powder.

Pharmaceutical developments walk side by side with health advances to provide new medicines, treatments, and therapies that have increased life quality and extended life expectancy by years. Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment helps deliver products to a great deal of the population, but there’s a significant share that doesn’t benefit from them yet. Over 2 billion people cannot get the medicines they need, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and local production might be a way to provide for these people.

Dosing systems are a line of hoppers, feeders, filling machines, and checkweighers that operate in sync to dispense materials accurately. Dosing is an essential feature of the packaging process, whether you’re filling shampoo bottles or tea bags. But dosing equipment is critical for formulations, too, particularly in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Imprecise dosing may cause quality degradation in the best-case scenario. In the worst scenario, it creates serious health risks.

You make corn nuts or roasted corn from roasted or deep-fried corn kernels. Also known as cancha in Peru and chulpi in Ecuador, using corn nuts making machines, you can process these through soaking, deep-frying, and packing. Soaking takes 3 days and aims to rehydrate the corn kernels, while frying develops their flavor and texture.

Corn nuts

Cotton has been used for about five millennia in ancient civilizations in America, Africa, and Asia. But up until the nineteenth century, cottonseed was not considered a product of value. The first cottonseed oil production started in 1833, consequently forming the cottonseed cake. Nowadays, we know cottonseed meal is a useful by-product for the feed industry and the fertilizer sector.

In classical Greek, oregano means “mountain adornment,” Indeed, the desiccated herb embellishes many age-old recipes. Traditionally, the fragrant leaves were collected and left to air dry in a shaded area. But that method leaves the plants exposed to open field risks such as pest attacks. Today, dried oregano processing equipment creates a hygienic environment that allows the plant to release moisture faster while retaining more natural compounds.

Colors present an enduring philosophical problem that generates lofty debates about subjectivism and consciousness. Meanwhile, ink manufacturing equipment turns colors into physical objects. Perhaps paradoxically, digitalization keeps fueling the use of printing ink. From custom clothing to secondary packaging to aircraft livery, inks are everywhere. Indeed, philosophical discussions are also primarily conducted in ink on paper.

Muesli, known as the adults’ cereal, is a loose mixture of rolled oats, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and dried fruits. Unlike granola, the muesli manufacturing process goes through rather simple steps. All of the ingredients are combined in the mixer without any specific cooking or baking process. This loose mixture is then packed individually, either in stand-up pouches, paper bags, paper tube and so on.

Growing populations and intensive farming in the last centuries reduced soil nitrate levels. Aware of the risks to food security, chemists Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch developed a way to industrialize synthetic nitrogen fertilizer production. They created the Haber-Bosch process for ammonia synthesis which is still used today. Manufacturers produce over a hundred million metric tons of nitrogenous fertilizers every year.
