Pneumatic Transport

Pneumatic conveyors can be used to transport dispersed solids over great distances in pipelines. The solid is transported out of a feed tank via a vibrating trough into an airflow. An interchangeable injector disperses the solid in the airflow. The airflow transports the solid upwards in the tube. The transport terminates in a collector tank. Depending on the velocity and solid content of the airflow, different transport states may occur. At high velocities, the solid is dispersed evenly across the cross-section of the tube (dilute phase transport). If the velocity is reduced, strands and balls form on the wall of the tube which then slide down owing to their higher settling velocity. The strands and balls disintegrate again in the airflow and reform. Reducing the velocity to below the settling velocity of the individual particles ultimately results in plug transport. The different transport states can be observed through the transparent tube. To identify the pressure loss and the flow velocity, measuring points are provided at all relevant positions. The velocity of the airflow is adjusted by a pressure regulator. The solid mass flow can be adjusted by way of the throw of the vibrating trough on a potentiometer. The compressed air can be provided from the laboratory supply or by the supply unit . Peas or plastic granulate are recommended for use as the solid. The well-structured instructional material sets out the fundamentals and provides a step-by-step guide through the experiments

    Nutsche Pressure Filter

    Nutsche Filters are used for discontinuous cake filtration of suspensions with high solid concentrations. The suspension production unit produces a suspension of diatomite and water and delivers it from above into the Nutsche Filter. In the bottom flange of the Nutsche Filter is a recessed sieve base with a filter cloth. A growing filter cake accumulates on the filter cloth made from the separated solid material. The applied pressure in the top section of the Nutsche Filter pushes the filtrate through the filter cake and the filter cloth. It is collected in the bottom section of the tank. After filtering, the filter cake obtained is washed with a washing liquid (water) and is then dried by an air stream.

    Stirred Tank Test Stand

    This demanding test stand is used to perform experiments on a multivariable system often found in practice. In this particular example, the interacting variables temperature and level are to be controlled in a stirred tank. After the heated product leaves the stirred tank, heat is transferred to the feed by a heat exchanger. A pneumatic control valve controls the tank level via product discharge. The double-walled tank is electrically heated. The system has a closed water circuit. The test stand contains high quality instrumentation. The controllers have a Profibus DP interface which allows the test stand to be monitored with optional process control software . This software can also be used to record the process variables and to tune controller parameters via PC.

    Training System Position Control

    This compact teaching / training unit offers every opportunity to learn the fundamentals of process control through experimentation on a linear position control system. The experimentation set-up is mounted on a solid housing which accommodates all the electronics. A transparent protective cover permits safe observation of the experiments. A carriage can be moved by a DC motor via a toothed belt. The linear positioning is measured by a rotary encoder and delivered as a voltage signal. The output signal from the transducer is sent to the software controller. The output signal from the controller influences the motor current. The motor is automatically shut down if the carriage reaches one of the two end positions. The powerful state-of-the-art software is an integral part of the training system, embodying the principle of hardware/software integration (HSI). It enables the experiments to be conducted and evaluated in a user-friendly manner. The software has network capability. The link between the training system and the PC is made via a USB port. Clearly structured and comprehensive instructional material sets out the fundamentals and provides a step-by-step guide through the experiments.

    Nutsche Vacuum Filter

    Nutsche Filters are used for discontinuous cake filtration of suspensions with high solid concentrations. The suspension production unit produces a suspension of diatomite and water and delivers it from above into the Nutsche Filter. A filter bag is inserted in the Nutsche Filter. A growing filter cake accumulates in the filter bag made from the separated solid material. The vacuum in the bottom section of the Nutsche Filter draws filtrate through the filter cake and the filter bag. It is collected in the bottom section. After filtering, the filter cake obtained is washed with a washing liquid (water) and is dried by the applied vacuum before being removed.
