WE ARE yOUR cOMPETENT PARTNER

POWDER & PARTICLE PROCESSING

Formed in 1898, Hosokawa Alpine's range

includes the development, design and

manufacture of components and turnkey

systems to produce powders, granules

and bulk materials for the chemical,

pharmaceutical, food, minerals, metals and

recycling industries. Whether the task is

comminution, classification, dust removal,

handling, metering, weighing or packing,

you will always find Hosokawa Alpine to be

a competent and innovative partner.

HosokawaAlpinehasbeeninbusinessforover100years.Regardlessofthefield,i.e.blownfilmprocessingorpowder&particleprocessing,wearetraditional

DIVISIONAL STRUCTURE

The name ALPINE stands for competence in

all areas of comminution technology. The

long years of close cooperation between our

engineers and the development departments

of our customers have made us leading

specialists for powder and particle processing

technology around the world. Because our

aim is to offer our customers the very best

in professional and accomplished advice

tailored to their specific branch of industry,

our powder and particle processing division

is divided into five subdivisions:

BLOWN FILM PROCESSING

As a specialist for film blowing lines to

manufacture thin plastic film, Hosokawa

Alpine ranks among the world's foremost

suppliers in this market segment.

The vast fund of know-how, the high

quality standards, the continuous

innovation and high degree of reliability

are all reasons for the constant growth of

this business division.

EVERyTHING FROM ONE SINGLE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE

- PHARMA & FOOD

The manufacture of powdery substances

for the pharmaceutical industry is a job for

specialists. Hosokawa Alpine conforms with

international pharma standards and supplies

a wide range of products and performance,

including special processes for the food

industry. Whatever method of size reduction

is used, we are the specialists.

- CHEMICALS

The range of chemical products is just

as wide and diverse as are the different

demands on the properties of pigments or

powders. We supply process-technological

solutions for the chemical industry as a

single-source partner. Our comprehensive

range of products means that we are

able to meet a vast number of different

requirements. We also offer competent

advice on solutions for basic chemical

products and auxiliary products, as well

as for toners, paints, pigments, herbicides

or fertilisers.

- MINERALS & METALS

We supply complete dry and wet processes

with state-of-the-art mills and classifiers

for processing mineral raw materials. Our

machines and systems for fillers, ceramic

raw materials, metallic compounds and

alloys all meet the high demands set by our

customers. We are not just manufacturers,

however, but also competent partners for

the engineering and design of complete

turnkey systems.

- RECyCLING & GRANULATORS

We design, build and deliver complete

granulator systems to include all necessary

system components. Whether the feed

material is injection mouldings, sprues,

film webs or film edge trims, our

granulators are designed for even the most

difficult cutting tasks. In addition, we also

supply in-line recycling solutions for rubber

or cable which are tailored to the

individual requirements.

- MICRON, COLOGNE

All our dealings are oriented towards an

objective of prime importance, namely the

satisfaction of our customers. Our strategy

is to deliver grinding and classifying systems

which produce qualities to match the

specifications. A point of focus thereby is

that both system and components are easy

to operate, clean and maintain. It is above

all our classifier mills and hammer mills, air

classifiers and cyclones that are employed in

just about every industry, e.g. the powder

coating, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food

and minerals industries.

- SERVICE

Our service division gives support during

the entire lifetime of any Hosokawa Alpine

system or machine. Our extensive range

of services includes spare parts supply,

maintenance, inspection, servicing, repairs,

general overhauls, system upgrading, and

training. A fairly recent addition to our

portfolio of services is a range of pre-owned

ALPINE machines.

HOsOKAWA ALP INEO N E C O M PA N y - T W O B U S I N E S S D I V I S I O N S

PROCESS AUTOMATION

Automation technology from Hosokawa

Alpine can be seen as process-technological

know-how translated into software and

hardware. A team of experienced electrical

engineers develops the basic principles for

our automation technology and makes sure

that the module interfaces are compatible

and that all modules are seamlessly

documented. Together as a team, process

engineers and electrical engineers develop

the optimum solution for each customer.

Dependent on the process and degree of

required automation, modular automation

components are individually combined.

The customers profit from our process

technology expertise. The solutions from

Hosokawa Alpine are always user-oriented

and proven in practical operation, a result

of the many systems we have in operation

under production-scale conditions in our

application testing centre in Augsburg. The

practical experience thus gathered has led

to constant optimisation of the mechanical

and process engineering as well as the

measuring & automation technology of our

systems, meaning we are able to offer

our customers a maximum degree of user-

friendliness, zero-defects manufacturing and

reliability in operation. Our PLExCONTROL

process automation system comprises 4

modules. The minimum equipment of any

one system is PlexWire and PlexLogic, which

can be combined with the PlexView and/or

PlexConnect modules dependent on the

required level of automation.

PLExLOGIC -

THE CONTROL PROGRAM MODULE

The Simatic S� automation system is used

for the process control. The programs are

universally structured and documented.

Tested program modules are used for the

structuring, thus avoiding programming

errors. The program modules can be retrieved

from libraries and permit efficient program

generation.

PLEXcONTROL

PLExVIEW -

THE PROCESS VISUALISATION MODULE

The process sequence and the process

parameters are represented graphically on

screen. The system flowchart forms the

basis for representation of the process,

and is formatted, animated and supplied

with the requisite process parameters.

Process operation is also carried out with

the visualisation unit. The user interface

is simple in design; the operator is guided

intuitively through the hierarchical menus.

This prevents operating errors and avoids the

necessity of additional training measures.

PLExWIRE - THE CONTROL CABINET

AND CONTROL PANEL MODULE

The control cabinet is an all-important

component in ensuring efficient and

reliable production sequences. All the safety,

switching and operating elements must

be geared to suit the production process

and the ambient conditions at the site of

production.

20 / 21

HosokawaAlpineoffersoptimumprocesssolutions.Processtechnologyandautomationengineeringaretailoredtotheindividualrequirementsandcomefromonesinglesource. PLExCONNECT -

THE TELESERVICE MODULE

The PlexConnect module makes it possible

to set up a connection between Hosokawa

Alpine's premises and your production

system in the form of a point-to-point

connection via the telephone network. This

method ensures that the data security and

access security of your system remains intact;

by simply pulling the telephone jack out of

its socket, you can effectively interrupt any

external link to your system. The benefit

of the teleservice module is that we can

optimise your system and make changes to

both the process control and the visualisation

system without any of our engineers needing

to be on site. It is also possible to plan

system maintenance and in the event of

a total breakdown, we can diagnose the

fault over the telephone and prepare the

service assignment or maintenance measures

in a targeted manner. The availability and

efficiency of your system are thus kept at a

very high level.

ARCHIVING

Every delivered process solution is archived

by us on our premises. This gives our

customers the assurance of being able to

refer to the original program at any time.
