neW dryer teCHnoloGy inspired By nasa Commercial Energy Solutions (CSEi) has announced a new industrial dryer, inspired by technology utilized in NASA, to re-use lost heat during industrial processes. Commercial Energy Solutions (CESi) has solved the heat processing efficiency equation for industrial dryers with proven technology developed using NASA ingenuity. CESi designs, manufactures, and installs turn-key the following proprietary equipment that is designed for continuous tru-clean operation and very affordable... as low as a two-year ROI before government incentives. C-heatZ system recycles hot exhausted air back into your drying process. C-boilZ system further converts the exhausted heat into steam or hot process water, effectively idling your boilers. C-chillZ provides the option of converting your remaining dryer waste heat into usable chilled air for AC systems or process cooling. Your industrial dryers are the backbone of your process and by design exhaust waste heat to remove the moisture from your process. Hot process air is expensive to create using Millions of BTUs per hour. Capturing your waste heat provides dramatic savings boosting your bottom line. Proprietary technology makes CESi systems the only ones engineered specifically for the rigors of industrial drying and heating processes providing safe, clean and dehumidified air; and the best Part; State, Federal and Local Utility incentives directly impact the ROI so you can tap into the savings immediately. Additionally, our solutions are 100% American designed, manufactured, and guaranteed. Www.ENERGYTODAY.us superior releases neW Belt sCale CharaCterized By pinpoint aCCuraCy Superior Industries, a leading American manufacturer of conveying equipment and conveyor components, announces completed development and market release of a brand new conveyor belt scale. Designed to produce precision measurements, the new scale is available in two different models. The WB model has an accuracy rating of 1.0% (+/- 0.5%). With independent weigh bridge brackets, it accommodates multiple belt widths and is designed for material handling up to 2,000 tons per hour (TPH). With an accuracy rating of 0.5% (+/- 0.25%), the HD model is built with a continuous weigh bridge for increased accuracy and structural integrity.It is manufactured to manage up to 2,000 TPH and beyond. The new belt scale is built with two, independent load cells.Superior says because the two load cell readings are displayed separately on the diagnostics screen, identifying malfunctions is made easier for the user. In addition, Superior’s belt scale packages are available with one of two integrator models, both built with easy to operate touch screen menus, diagnostic screens that show load cell outputs independently and recalls up to eight previous scale totals.An optional speed sensor easily mounts to most conveyor frames and adjusts to applicable belt widths.

In addition to a BTEC Higher National Diploma in Mechanical & Production Engineering from Leeds Metropolitan University UK, Chocholko brings 19 years of industrial wood capital equipment sales, service and management experience to His new position. “The sustained growth that we’ve experienced, especially in large systems for wood and biomass being prepped for conversion to alternative fuels, has made it necessary for us to expand both our facilities and our personnel. We are fortunate to have someone of Yuri’s caliber join our team here at Vecoplan,” states Marty Kennedy, Executive Vice President. Www.VecoplanLLC.com pellet teCHnoloGy and vermeer Form allianCe For FeedstoCk Grinder Pellet Technology USA, a biomass processing technology company, has formed a strategic alliance with Vermeer Corporation.Vermeer will serve as the exclusive supplier of the feedstock grinder to be used in Pellet Technology’s patent-pending system to manufacture Power Pellets from stover, wood, energy crops, and other agricultural residues. Vermeer’s HG6000 horizontal grinder, complete with a patented Series II duplex drum, will be integrated with the Pellet Technology air-assisted feed system, allowing for higher-moisture agricultural residue to be processed. The grinder features a self-cleaning “bioscreen” that maintains an even level of biomass throughput while preventing flow blockage. This design feature rectifies issues the biomass industry has had with producing a consistently sized product. The grinder’s addition to Pellet Technology’s design package provides a key component to its turnkey biomass processing solution. www.pellettechnologyusa.com, www.vermeer.com
