Alpine's application testing centre offers you more
|
|
Spread across an area of 3000 m² over 4 storeys, Hosokawa Alpine's testing centre in Augsburg is one of the largest testing centres in Germany for the wet and dry processing of powdery materials.
With over 60 state-of-the-art systems on a production- and laboratory/pilot-scale as well as a modern test laboratory, Alpine offers you the most comprehensive range of testing possibilities aimed at finding an optimal system layout and the determination of process-technological guarantee values.
The testing centre team is 20 strong and comprises test engineers, laboratory assistants, system assistants and mechanics. Fully conversant with the different technical features of the systems, the team members all possess long years of experience in handling a great variety of different products.
In keeping with our policy of upgrading or replacing the machines and systems on a regular basis, there have been 2 new systems available since the beginning of this year: |

Long Gap Mill Type LGM 3
Dependent on the problem specification, Hosokawa Alpine now offers you the possibility of grinding, drying, coating, classifying and of simultaneously deglomerating your products during tests with the long gap mill type LGM 3 equipped with state-of-the-art control technology. Either dry materials, slurry or wet cakes can be processed with this mill.
The LGM is absolutely ideal for processing tough and fibrous products especially from the foodstuffs sector. For example, moist cellulose fibres can be processed much better with the LGM in a grinding process with subsequent drying than in a dry grinding process using a fine impact mill UPZ or a classifier mill ZPS. Over and above this, because of the longer grinding track in the LGM, the product is subjected to a higher degree of stressing than with the relatively short grinding tracks installed in the UPZ and ZPS.
In the testing centre, the LGM is also used for drying and the subsequent deglomeration of slurries from the wet grinding sector.
Alpine's range of LGMs includes 6 machine sizes for feed rates of between 90 kg/h and 14500 kg/h. |

Fluidised Bed Opposed Jet Mill Type 200/400 TTG
From a process-technological point of view, the TTG is an improved variant of the fluidised bed opposed jet mill equipped with the new and patented Turbo Twin classifier wheel.
The TFG was developed as an alternative to Alpine's AFG with multi-wheel Turboplex classifier head. The low pressure drop of the Turbo Twin classifier ensures a lower energy consumption compared with the Turboplex classifier.
The classifying wheel is supported in bearings on both sides and permits extremely high speeds, i.e. peripheral speeds of up to 120 m/s can be realised.
The patented classifying wheel geometry of the Turbo Twin allows higher throughput rates and loading factors than the AFG with Turboplex and delivers extremely high fineness values and extremely steep top cuts.
The 200/400 TTG is employed for the manufacture of extremely fine products (d97 < 3 µm) with a steep particle size distribution and sharp top size limitation. Trials carried out on behalf of our customers on graphite, titanium oxide and mineral powders with a wide range of particle sizes delivered excellent results. The test unit is pressure-shock-proof to 10 bar overpressure and can be operated in hot-gas mode.
