More than 700 exhibitors from over 25 countries are set to showcase cutting-edge technology for mixers and mills at a leading trade fair for processing, analysis and handling of powder and bulk solids in Germany this month.

Powtech will run from September 30 to October 2 at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg, said a statement.

It will also feature TechnoPharm, the trade fair for life science process technologies, will showcase a range of products with the latest process technologies for production in a sterile environment for engineers from pharmacy and the food industry, it said.

Willy Viethen, director for the trade fairs at NürnbergMesse, said: “We’re looking forward to three productive days at the exhibition in Nürnberg. The hustle and bustle in the halls will be highly international again. Many exhibitors also bring innovations. These are exactly the ingredients that have made Powtech the world’s biggest and most exciting shop window for processing and handling powder and bulk solids for years.”

Powtech aims at giving process engineers from the fields of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and feed manufacture and processing of mineral source materials a comprehensive overview of new products for milling, mixing, screening, dosing, conveying and weighing.

“What makes Powtech so unique is that here you find engineers with very specific solutions,” said Viethen.

“The exhibitors are prepared to tailor their solutions exactly to the customers’ requirements. Here in Nürnberg specialists talk to specialists in order to solve apparently insoluble problems.”

The topics to be addressed include energy efficiency, CO2 footprint and system retrofitting, while analysis and automation are also penetrating increasingly deeper into processing technology processes.

It will include series on ‘Handling high-quality solids’; Innovation Award 2014; and a special forum on “explosion protection.” - TradeArabia News Service
