Many modernization projects in the process industry fail not because of the technology. They fail because data, decisions, and responsibility exist in too many different realities. A Z Opdenhoff modernizes control systems and processes from A to Z. With future-proof production architecture based on https://lnkd.in/d6C3r4Yt. What's new here is that we think in terms of the product. Not from the batch or approach. This creates traceability that remains reliable even with variants, mixtures, and parallel flows. And this creates a single source of truth in the value stream that operators and machine and plant manufacturers can use together. The AI agents act like a digital team in the background. They recognize patterns, connect information, support decisions, and relieve the burden on skilled workers in the plant. When standards reach their limits, architecture begins.

The aeromechanical conveyor is the evolution and all-purpose weapon in the conveying of bulk materials. With the more efficient alternative to the classic chain conveyor, all common free-flowing bulk materials (from fine powders to granulates) are conveyed in high throughputs and with almost no wear. With its slim design, it conveys your products both from, or into, silos, BigBags, mixers, packaging machines and much more. The conveyor cable moves through a tube at a speed of up to 6.8 m/s, creating suction/vacuum behind the conveyor disc. The material – any free-flowing bulk material is suitable – is “pulled” or sucked into this suction without almost no frictional forces or wear on the bulk material. When operating without material, only the existing conveying air circulates in the pipes. When the product is fed, the product volume displaces the air volume. When ejecting, the same amount of air is sucked in again via the funnel.

A new era of separation technology The AirStar evolution sets new standards in terms of effi ciency, precision and user-friendliness. It combines the latest innovations with Westeria's decades of expertise in the field of windsifting. The pioneering NotusAir system is the fi rst to combine high-precision airfl ow control with an air recirculation system that makes a large fi lter unit obsolete and only requires a compact fi lter. The entire design of the machine has been redeveloped from scratch and now allows even better access to all components. Large-area glazing also enables direct visual inspection. The entire system is still one of the most compact and robust windsifters on the market. The new Westeria user interface enables tool-free adjustment of all parameters centrally from an intuitive touch display. This includes the positioning of the feed belt, the separation drum, the nozzle angle and the pressure control.

This large-volume mixer is a new development. It requires only low electrical connected loads. It mixes accurately, effectively and very gently. Gyraton® mixers are also particularly cost-effective because they require very little installation space. The properties of the mixing goods are irrelevant. Even moist or poorly flowing materials (time-solidifying materials) are homogenized. The function is similar to all other amixon® mixers. But the specific energy input is lower with the Gyraton® mixer. The mixer spiral rotates slowly and conveys the mixed materials upwards. It always touches only a part of the mixing chamber wall. In addition to rotation, the mixer shaft performs a circular path above the mixing chamber floor. The pivot point of the shaft lies in the plane of the gas-tight shaft seal. The entire cylinder surface is tangent to the mixing element spiral. This also applies to the bottom. Mixing takes place without dead space because the base is designed as a calotte. The lower mixing unit arm has the same curvature as the calotte shell. The mixer shaft is only supported and driven at the top. The shaft sealing is permanently hygienic and gas-tight. The unit shown here can homogenize 70 m³ of mix. This is the content of a 40-foot deep-sea container. This mixer design requires very little installation space. The mixer can optionally have one or more discharge nozzles. In the amixon® pilot plant, such a Gyraton® mixer is available for tests. The usable volume is 3 m³. From the measurement data that amixon® obtains during the mixing test, we can calculate very accurate design data for larger Gyraton® mixers.

Manual cutting and emptying of bags is time- and labor-intensive, causes material losses, and exposes personnel to continuous health and safety risks due to heavy lifting and cutting activities. With the automatic depalletizing and bag emptying machine, complete pallets are fed directly into the system. Bag removal, cutting, and emptying are carried out fully automatically without manual handling. Only one operator is required to supervise the machine. This significantly reduces labor requirements, minimizes material losses, and substantially lowers health and safety risks. Fast and efficient emptying also reduces storage space requirements and associated warehousing costs. The system features a fully automatic operating system with an emptying capacity of approximately 770–880 bags per hour. It is suitable for bulk materials such as granulates and powder products and can process plastic bags as well as woven sacks. A multi-pallet loading conveyor ensures continuous operation. The system includes a container for empty bags, with an optional automatic transfer to a bag compactor. Empty pallets are discharged automatically, optionally with automatic stacking. An integrated connection to the conveying and distribution system, combined with a safety and auto-control system, ensures reliable and secure operation. The machine is built with a robust, durable construction, operates with low energy consumption, and is certified in accordance with CE standards. The discharged material is automatically conveyed to the storage silos via a blower and pipeline system. The use of raw material storage silos eliminates congestion caused by pallets and bags, creating additional space within the facility. Within this closed system, material is transported cleanly and without loss. This integrated raw material distribution and storage system ensures significant cost savings while improving overall operational quality.

SmartPowder-Flex enables fully automatic, gram-accurate weighing and dosing of small and micro components such as pigments, dyes, flavors, additives, active ingredients, and many other low-quantity materials. The system significantly enhances product safety while increasing production efficiency by minimizing manual operations. SmartPowder-Flex is designed for use in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and plastics industries, where precision and repeatability are critical. In applications with particularly high requirements for hygiene, batch integrity, and strict product segregation, the Sacchi dosing system ensures full compliance with industry-specific standards and regulatory requirements. Product handling is performed by a highly sensitive collaborative robot that reacts to the slightest touch, allowing operation without a full safety enclosure. Materials are collected using a specially developed dosing shovel integrated into the robot, ensuring precise and repeatable dosing. To eliminate cross-contamination and meet stringent hygiene standards, each container is assigned its own dedicated, product-specific scoop, which the robot automatically selects and uses during dosing. A second robot manages the supply of containers or crates to be emptied. When crates are fed via a conveyor system, an almost unlimited number of containers can be automatically supplied, positioned, and processed, enabling continuous and highly flexible operation.

The semi-automatic BigBag tongs use the lifting motion of a forklift truck. The BigBag hangs with the loops on the forks of the forklift truck or stands on a pallet. The forklift driver positions the BigBag and operates the BigBag tongs easily by remote control. The gentle shredding of the product by the tongs normally starts from the top and is distributed at various points along the height of the BigBag, breaking up and shredding the product in the BigBag at all points.
