Chemical and Pharmaceutical

Whether for classification, homogenization, dust removal or for the purpose of smooth flow in bulk material handling equipment. In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, ultrasound helps to optimize powder production.

For plant manufacturers and users, our ultrasonic systems are the ideal companions for more quality and productivity.

By sieving, powders can be divided into different fractions or particle size classes. This is particularly important when specific particle sizes are required for further processing or for specific applications. With the use of ultrasound, the user increases the production output in the powder manufacturing process and also guarantees the purest possible end product. In addition, the ultrasonic discharging aid ensures a smooth powder flow and completely emptied bulk material containers. All this without the risk of contaminating the valuable product.

Compared to conventional flow aids, ultrasound has several advantages

Why our ultrasound is the right choice to optimize the manufacturing process in the chemical and pharmaceutical sector.

01

No contamination: components outside the sieve area

02

De-aeration of powder leads to increased quality

03

Prevention of demixing: the right mix makes the difference

04

Compact system size and digital interfaces: easy plant integration

05

Increased throughput and complete emptying of bulk material containers

Areas of application

01

Powder preparation / screening

Thanks to ultrasound, impurities are sieved out with maximum efficiency and agglomerates are broken up. The oversize particles are separated more quickly than with mechanical flow aids. For users, this means a higher yield.

02

Laboratory screening

The sieve analysis process is given new possibilities with ultrasound as a support. Thus, finest powders in the lowest micron range can be sieved. Faster than with conventional methods. Existing laboratory sieves can be easily retrofitted by means of an ultrasonic clamp.

03

Powder production / discharging and conveying

During the production of powders for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, classical flow problems such as bridging and demixing occur repeatedly. Thanks to ultrasound, even powders that are difficult to convey, such as aluminum dioxide, can flow continuously. The residual quantities of the valuable product are completely emptied from bulk material containers such as hoppers, cyclones and chutes. Cleaning cycles are thus reduced to the minimum.

04

Powder production / Dosing

Classical dosing units with mechanical vibrations are characterized by noisy and energy-consuming operation. Dosing units with ultrasound, on the other hand, through simple programming, can quietly and energy-efficiently dose powder from bulk material vessels.

The perfect complement to your existingnew
system

Our patented technology gives you the greatest possible flexibility. Regardless of the geometry, new as well as existing systems can be supported with ultrasound.

Efficient sieving, discharging, conveying and dosing made easy.

The user-friendly solutions get the bulk material moving. Without having to match the geometry to be excited to the frequency of the ultrasonic generator.

Avoiding problems during screening and discharging

While during sieving the sieve mesh remains clear for longer and the separation efficiency is increased, when discharging from silos, among others, classic problems such as bridging and ratholing are prevented thanks to ultrasound.

Reduction of ongoing operating costs

Because ultrasound keeps the product flowing and ensures a continuous process, expensive product downtime can be avoided. In addition, ultrasonic components contribute to significantly lower energy costs compared to pneumatic and mechanical flow aids.
