🔊🔔 𝟭𝟴𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲! Furnace Solutions 2024 will again explore the road to sustainability. At the Furnace Solution Conference, our colleague Christian Räbiger will deliver an insightful presentation on "𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀." 🏭✨   Christian will showcase how strategic raw material selection can significantly optimize melting costs. He will share a compelling success story where we tackled a foam problem, leading to enhanced operations and reduced batch costs, all while maintaining stable product quality.

🌍 Blue Competence Alliance Member: Partner of the sustainability initiative of the mechanical and plant engineering industry With the VDMA's Blue Competence sustainability initiative, we are committed to contributing to a sustainable quality of life with our innovative products. We thereby pursue the goal of achieving more with fewer resources and taking responsibility. We recognise our role model function and are committed to treating employees, customers, and suppliers with respect. One example is the GEBHARDT Cheetah® neo. This storage and retrieval machine is characterised by its lightweight aluminium mast, which significantly reduces energy consumption. In addition, the energy exchange between the drives allows excess energy that would otherwise be lost to be fed back into the grid. 🔗 Find out more about the initiative: https://lnkd.in/e_myF_WQ #BlueCompetence #VDMA #sustainability #GEBHARDT #mechanical engineering #intralogistics

How to Improve Battery Life in Electrified Off-Highway Vehicles? The fluid power industry is increasingly focused on energy-efficient solutions for electrified off-highway vehicles. One key approach is using highly efficient, shear stable #HydraulicFluids, which can be quantitatively compared using ASTM D7721 test procedures, for both mobile and stationary equipment. These advanced lubricants significantly extend #BatteryLife in #OffHighway applications, especially in mobile construction equipment. 🗓 Join our expert Mark Petit, OEM Manager Americas at Evonik, at the #iVTExpo in Chicago on Thursday, August 22nd at 3:20 PM. He will discuss why hydraulic fluids based on shear stable #Polyalkylmethacrylates #Viscoplex@ are the optimal viscosity index improvers for formulating high-performance energy-efficient shear stable hydraulic fluids. See you at the iVT Expo ! At #Evonik, our #LubricantAdditives not only contribute to fuel-efficient oils but also empower formulators to create a more sustainable world.

Always at the cutting edge of #conveyor technology, Pennsylvania-based Volkmann, Inc. has unveiled a new type of conveyor that can accommodate different types of material in the same system! The Volkmann VS pneumatic vacuum conveying system automatically transfers bulk materials in a choice of lean phase or dense phase using the same conveying system. Featuring a ball valve in the feeding elbow, this innovative conveyor may be operated in dense phase then switched on the fly to lean or dilute phase or vice versa by adjusting the ratio of air to vacuum at the valve.
