New Gear NEW PRODUCTS AT WORLD BIOENERGY 2014 The theme of the conference this year was “Taking you from know how to show how,” and there were plenty of exhibitors poised to show attendees how to grow their bioeconomy. Here’s a selection of the exhibits at the show. Your global equipment supplier for the biomass industry LEFT: The only Canadian exhibitor was InterWrap which boasts a BioBlanket that is popular in Scandanavia. It’s a paper-based, laminated cover for forest residuals that protects them from rain and snow to speed up the drying process. The blanket is then chipped and burned along with the forest residual. RIGHT: There was a variety of pelleting presses on hand that could pelletize anything from wood to waste, including this one from KAHL that is designed for universal use on a wide range of products. Powdery, fibrous, lumpy and pasty products can be processed into uniform pellets of different sizes, the company boasts. ANDRITZ is one of the world’s leading suppliers of techno logies, systems, and services relating to equipment for the bio mass pelleting industry. We offer single machines for the production of solid and liquid biofuel and waste pellets. We have the ability to manu facture and supply each and every key processing machine in the pellet pro-duction line. If biomass quality is the concern, moisture metres of all shapes and sizes were on hand that would be able to test the moisture content onsite rather than in a lab. ANDRITZ Feed & Biofuel A/S Europe, Asia, and South America: [email protected] USA and Canada: [email protected] www.andritz.com Bulk material handling experts (Bruks and Noxor) were on hand to show how their systems would gently transfer pellets or general biomass handling from the mill to the transport vessel.
