Minibag - more than just an alternative to drums

Worth rethinking

Big bags have been in place for some time as a strong alternative to rigid containers such as containers. But it is also a small number. For bulk materials are in batches or package sizes with a volume of up to 200 l used in the production process, manufacturers are predominantly a barrel. The appropriate alternative, especially for international transport services of raw materials, are Minibag.

The closed filling of drums is usually only in comparison to empty the small challenge, depending on whether the filling is volumetrically or gravimetrically, the barrel directly under the filling and is positioned on a weighing device. Be used for the barrels open foil bags inside, this includes the operator simply plugs directly into a filling head and seals it with a corresponding device, for example Blähdichtung, Blähschlauch etc., from. Come endless screen systems such as a Endlosfolienbefüllkopf used, the film must be pulled from the continuous sheet to the bottom of the drum cartridge. Subsequently, the filling process by opening a shutoff or metering to start. Since the system is operated closed, the displaced air escapes through a dedusting. Is the barrel finally or fully achieved the desired target weight, the filling is stopped, closed the liner or the continuous film and separated.
You want to empty the barrels but also closed, it requires some technical know-how. Barrels have finally only an opening through which both are filled as well drained. This usually works with suction lances or tipping over a barrel. For containment applications, suction lances divorce in many cases, however, because the risk is too great that the film will hurt the barrel with the suction pipe and thus it can lead to contamination.

Chrome tells the history of atmospheric oxygen

View of earth and atmosphere, rising and falling oxygen levels
Twice in the Earth, the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere has increased rapidly. Details were still unclear about it. A new method now allows a look back - and proves baffling fluctuations of the vital connection. If you are interested in chrome ore buyers, you should have a look here

Great Oxidation Event geoscientists call the two events that have changed drastically from about 2.4 billion and 750 million years ago, the Earth's atmosphere. Suddenly rose respectively to the oxygen concentration - but the details of this for the emergence of life fundamentally important processes have so far not known.

Thanks to a new method, it is an international research team now managed to take a closer look at the history of the atmosphere. Robert Frei of the University of Copenhagen and his colleagues studied iron-rich sedimentary rocks from different places of the earth that is up to three billion years old. Frei's team analyzed the composition of the chrome isotopes in the rock and found that the oxygen isotopes reflect the content of the atmosphere.
