Continuous or batch operation
Separation solutions from BHS-Sonthofen are the first choice in the chemical industry. Whether in continuous production or in batch operation, our systems deliver high quality and impressive performance. The BHS experts put their decades of experience to work for you, advising you on process planning for a vast range of process steps in the production of chemical products. Together with you, we develop customized solutions for the processes of filtration, drying, mixing and reacting that best meets your application needs.
Broad product portfolio for the chemical industry
BHS-Sonthofen offers first-class process solutions for the chemical industry that are used all over the world. For optimum functionality, we not only consider the equipment itself, but also the environment in which it is operated.
BHS-Sonthofen is present in cake-forming filtration, both in vacuum and pressure filtration. The filtration step is often followed by drying, for which horizontal and vertical contact dryers are used. Depending on the application, batch or continuous units are available. The portfolio is rounded off by solutions for mixing tasks for solids, humidification or granulation.
BHS-Sonthofen will work with you to develop the optimum solution tailored to your needs. The experts at BHS-Sonthofen have decades of experience and support you in process planning and implementation on a production scale. Demanding conditions such as potentially explosive areas, corrosive, toxic or abrasive media, GMP conditions and automated cleaning cycles are part of BHS-Sonthofen's daily work.
Agrochemicals
Safe production of agrochemicals
Safe production of agrochemicals
For manufacturers of plant protection products such as pesticides, fungicides and herbicides or fertilizers the most suitable closed system for the production of agrochemicals is the rotary pressure filter (RPF). The continuously and fully automatic high-performance filter offers maximum safety and requires no manual intervention other than maintenance. The machine facilitates gas-tight cake treatment in several discrete process steps.
When it comes to homogenizing and drying agribusiness powders and granulate formed products, BHS vertical dryers and mixers are the tools of choice. The fragile products are processed rapidly and particularly gently, and the reproducibility of recipes is ensured. The special shape of the mixing container means that the product is almost fully discharged at the bottom side while the agitator is running. For cleaning purposes, the machines are highly accessible or alternatively, cleaning processes can be automated. Design and construction are carried out in accordance with GMP, and there is a wide choice of application-specific variants.
Biochemistry
Safe processing of bio-based chemicals
Safe processing of bio-based chemicals
In the processing of chemicals based on renewable raw materials, the filter systems, mixers, dryers and reactors from BHS-Sonthofen ensure high product quality and yield as well as efficiency in the treatment of solids and product quality. Examples include cellulose derivatives or bio-based polyamides.
Flame Retardants
Conditioning of Flame Retardants
BHS dryers, mixers and reactors are ideally suited for conditioning flame retardants. Horizontal or vertical, from 3 liter to 50 m³, with reaction temperatures of up to 500°C and pressures <25 mbar. The mixing, drying, and reaction processes can take place in one machine. In the reactor variant, a typical application is cross-linking of melamine and phosphoric acid to create melamine (poly)phosphate. In the drying mixer variant, red phosphorus, ammonium (poly)phosphate, and melamine (poly)phosphate are dried, while the mixer variant is suited, for example, to coating flame retardants with silanes to improve the surface structure.
