Dust-free disposal of empty big bags Big-bags are increasingly being used in the processing of raw materials. After big-bags are emptied, they are often folded. Unnecessary dust is created during folding. This substance emission is avoided by means of a big-bag compactor with an integrated compressed air-cleaned filter. Moreover, the space in the compactor is so large that the big-bag fits neatly in without folding. The extraction system naturally keeps everything neatly under reduced pressure. The amount of waste is reduced to a minimum amount. The empty Big-Bags are packed dust-tight at the end in an endless foil. The integrated filter is suitable for very different powders (from very fine to very sticky). A secondary HEPA filter can be placed behind the filter. The unit is equipped, whether or not mobile, with its own control / control box. A traditional bag compactor is often used to compact empty big bags, but these often get stuck. Big bags are much stiffer than empty bags. The Poeth Big-Bag compactor,

Power to Heat (or Power to X) Power to Heat – who does not know this topic, which is about storing excess energy from renewable energy sources in heat. But what are the current developments? Are there any changes in the market? Yes, they exist. Besides Power to Heat, we also talk about Power to X. Here, the X stands for all other options, where you can temporarily store energy. The possibilities of storing energy in gas, in batteries and in pumped storage plants are already known. Another option is to convert electricity into steam using Power to Steam. But there are also initial ideas to store excess energy in a special concrete or to store the energy in molten salt. Especially these seem to be on the rise, because salt does not evaporate like water and can be brought to temperatures of over 600°C. In connection with the energy density of salt and the high temperatures, extremely much energy can be stored. Energy recovery occurs through turbines. The salt evaporates water and drives a turbine,
