Chemical

We aspire to provide our clients with best-in-class technology advice, project management and service.  

Our engineers help production facilities of both organic and inorganic compounds to improve the quality of the end product, as well as the safety and efficiency of the production lines.  We are proud of our work for a number of larger chemical production facilities such as Fenolit and Cinkarna in Slovenia, Borsodchem in Hungary and Agrofert in the Czech and Slovak republics. But we also do our utmost to help improve logistics at large petrochemical sites such Naftoport in Poland and at MOL in Hungary.

 
 
To be able to continue to be an inspring conversation partner for our clients we work closely together with a select network of international partners. We make sure our engineers are periodically trained in the latest developments for process and packaging, as well as logistics and storage, solutions and we are continuously on the outlook to spot new trends and innovations.
Bottom-up filling systems with hygiene in mind

February 17, 2012

Chronos BTH R&D brings dust control to hygenic bagging solutions. Producers of babyfood, dairy and bakery ingredients welcome the new benchmark in open mouth bottom-up filling machines.

 

The OMLH-1030 BF SERIES and the OMLH-2060 BF SERIES are compact, fully automatic packaging systems designed for the hygienic bagging of a diverse range of products into open-mouth bags. The system, which is ideal for both powders and granules, has been specifically developed for Dairy, Bakery, Babyfood and other food related industries. But pharmaceutical
or chemical applications are not uncommon.
 
 

 

 

The new system concept has been designed in accordance with the EHEDG* (European

Hygienic Engineering & Design Group) guidelines. Chronos BTH is an EHEDG member and has established an in-house Hygiene Task Force to develop and implement machine design guidelines specifically for the Food Industry. The dust poor, patented bottom‑up filling technology guarantees high accuracies during the filling process. The machine features closed bag-top transport, quick and simple cleaning, fast change-over times and minimised dust emission.

Continuous drying with minimal energy loss

November 21, 2011

Extensive test results have shown that the DMR continuous flash mill dryer can often replace existing spray drying processes and produce quality end products more efficiently. 

With the DMR, the wet material is fed through a series of specially designed feeding systems (1) the grinding section(2) the drying section (3) the main body of the dryer. The impact energy imparted by the grinding rotor disperses the wet material into very fine particles.

 

A temperature controlled hot gas stream coming from the air heater (4) is drawn by the exhaust fan through the main body and fluidizes the fine particles in the grinding chamber. This condition guarantees optimal heat exchange and instant evaporation of liquid.

 

The dried particles are conveyed with the gas stream to the top section of the dryer where a separator(5) classifies the particles by size. Particles passing the classifier at the set cut point are conveyed with the exhaust air (6) to a powder air separating systems such as a cyclone, cyclone filter or cyclone scrubbers.

Imtech Ventilex fluidbed cooperation pays off

October 6, 2011

Imtech Ventilex has made great progress over the past year. For us, their improved capability to work with industry partners helped us make their technology accessible to our clients. 

We are proud to announce that we were awarded three fluidbed drying projects in the first half year of our renewed cooperation alone.

 

As diverse as it may sound, the applications range from the drying of EPS granules, to specialized drying of animal feed additive and a solution for a leading producer of fruits and nuts. 

 

The success story is a great example of what can happen when a leading technology provider decides to make serious work of cooperation with industry experts. Based on the commitment of the Ventilex team and a better understanding of the advantages of their solutions, we found several production facilities that will benefit from their technology and we look forward to deliver more projects in the future.
