Dragados UK & Ireland, una sucursal constructora del grupo español ACS, emplea la tecnología de mezcla de BHS-Sonthofen para producir hormigón en la ampliación del puerto de Aberdeen (Escocia), valorada en unos 400 millones de euros. Con el hormigón se fabricarán un total de 9.000 acrópodos aproximadamente que se emplearán como protección exterior de los rompeolas norte y sur. Para ello, Industrias Leblan suministró a Dragados una planta fija que incluía una amasadora en "batch" de doble eje BHS.

For the transport of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in pipelines, monoethylene glycol (MEG) is added as corrosion inhibitor and to reduce the freezing point of the water in the LNG. The MEG is then reclaimed. This article discusses the use of a combination system for solid-liquid filtration as an alternative to static thickeners, centrifuges, filter presses and cartridges.

The Association for Waste Management Kempten (Zweckverband für Abfallwirtschaft Kempten – ZAK) installed a new biomass processing plant in May 2019. Technology worth about €2.8 million in total now ensures that foreign matter is optimally removed from organic waste and green waste before fermentation. The plant-based elements have to be effectively decomposed in order to achieve the best result for the latter. That is why a BHS-Sonthofen Biogrinder is now used to process and shred this material. ...

The sand found in the high-strength concrete used to construct Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s prestigious buildings must be pure and the particle shape needs to be cubical. Since the large quantities of natural sand in the region do not boast these properties, mine operator Stevin Rock manufactures the sought-after commodity out of limestone itself in Oman. Two rotor centrifugal crushers of type RSMX have been used for the final – and crucial – finishing stage since September 2018.

For the very first time, Czech fertilizer producer Lovochemie A.S. is breaking its ammonium sulfate using a rotor impact mill manufactured by BHS-Sonthofen. With the help of this technique, the company has been able to replace a number of its regular process steps. The system’s strength lies in its highly consistent grading curve and low cost of operation.

The ceremonial opening of the Bethune potash mine by K+S in the province of Saskatchewan/Canada in May 2017 marked the start of mining potash as a product for the fertilizer industry. The mine was initially referred to as the “legacy project” during its construction period, but was later renamed in honor of the nearest village. BHS-Sonthofen was commissioned with delivering two mixers for dust removal and coloring salts. The Combimix DKXC 7300 was selected for these challenging applications. The mixer impresses with its high throughput rate combined with a short mixing time and high product homogeneity.
