Pilot trials - Import export

At our Technical Centre, which has proven its worth over many years, even the smallest quantities bring you great benefits. With an area of over 1,000 square metres, we offer the perfect facilities to verify how the raw materials will actually behave in the intended processes and finishing steps. In addition, we run scalable test series to generate reliable data for calculating costs. The process in three steps: 1. Pilot trial: testing on the smallest scale 2. Scale up trial: testing on the high-performance universal mill, with close support from our experts 3. Large-scale production: testing on the large plant for production on an industrial scale

Cellular wheel sluices Cellular wheel sluices are used as discharge devices under filters, cyclones and silos, as well as for channelling materials into pneumatic conveying systems. In a special tested version, however, these can also be used at the same time for the explosive decoupling of complex plant systems in the sense of the ATEX regulations. Multi-cutter The multi-cutter is ideally suited for the chopping up of paper or plastic waste strips as well as veneer residues in extraction pipes. It works with a set of fast-rotating, but air-permeable blades. The connection diameter is DN 160 and the motor has a rated drive power of 0.75 KW. In order to be able to definitely assess the usability for the application, it is advisable to provide us with representative material samples. The assessment is also often proven by pilot plant trials. The advantage of this is that the degree of chopping can also be determined. ATEX non-return valves (EX) Non-return valves are passive decoupling elements in pipelines for preventing dust explosion effects from running in the opposite direction to the conveying direction. The non-return valves are type-tested protective systems in accordance with directive 94/9/EC, better known under the synonym ATEX 95. Function In normal operation, the top-mounted flap swims on the air stream in the housing of the non-return valve and in this way is held open. At a standstill the valve flap closes under its own weight and rests on the diagonally cut inflow pipe. If an explosion occurs behind the non-return valve, the air flow direction is reversed due to the increased counter-pressure. This causes the flap to close. The valve flap is additionally pressed against the inflow pipe by the pressure of the explosion, thus reliably sealing the pipeline against an explosion backdraught. These non-return valves function without external energy. The RSK and BPF-M series are available in the sizes DN 160, 200, 250, 280, 315, 355, 400, 450, 500, 560, 600, 630, 710, 800, 900 and 1,000. The two series differ in that they have different versions and application possibilities. The non-return valves, as type-tested protective systems, are sold through Brilex Gesellschaft für Explosionsschutz mbH, Hinterm Gallberg 15-17, D-59929 Brilon; www.brilex.de

The Rotavac One is our complete compact pilot filter station. Easy to install and operate it is ideal for small volume applications, process validation and pilot-scale trials. The unit has a small 2m x 1m footprint, comprising of 1.3m² skid mounted rotary vacuum drum filter (RDVF), filtrate receiver, filtrate pump, vacuum pump, blower (scraper discharge version only), local control panel. Two versions are available: Rotavac One S, scraper discharge and Rotavac One P, precoat discharge. These filters are ideal for larger test programmes under actual manufacturing conditions. We can provide filter media from our extensive range and advise on this if required. Please contact us for more information if you are interested in purchase or hire of our pilot filter.

BS-pilotDRY® Series ML001 - ML010 The pilotdryer BS-pilotDRY from BOLZ is well suited for a wide range of various pilot-scaled trials and tests within the product and process development, but also for ongoing quality monitoring of a production. Mainly used as a traditional conical screw dryer, in addition it can also be used as a central shaft dryer. The hybrid stirrer technology allows drying and mixing processes to be simulated and tested in only one appliance using different mixing tools. Therefore relevant comparisons are possible which facilitate the selection of the most suitable stirring mechanism or agitator tool for the product and thus for the future production equipment. Special properties for the customer’s benefit: Mobile and portable skid design Simple „plug and use“ installation Complete process unit with ancillaries Flexible filling volume 10 to 100% CIP-cleaning included All product contact surfaces heatable Suited for a wide range of processes Ideal for...
