Expanded Kason Kek-Gardner to debut at Powtech
The newly expanded Kason Kek-Gardner will make its first public appearance at the April 2016 Powtech Show in Nuremberg, since the merger of UK-based Kek-Gardner and USA-based Kason Corp. in Q3 2015, it was announced by George Tunnicliffe, Kason Kek-Gardner's Managing Director.
"Since the new Kason Kek-Gardner is an expansion, with no consolidation of personnel or facilities, Kek-Gardner customers will retain access to the same Kek-Gardner equipment, services and people as before, plus the entire line of sifters, round vibratory screeners and fluid bed processing equipment from Kason," explains Tunnicliffe.
The combined capabilities of Kek-Gardner and Kason centrifugal sifter models now lead the world in both size and scope, offering lab units up to the world's largest sifters with capacities to 100 tonnes per hour, he adds.
The expanded centrifugal sifter line is complemented by Kason's extensive line of round vibratory screeners, which encompasses the world's widest range of designs and sizes, from 46 cm diameter laboratory units up to 250 cm diameter screeners with capacities to 150 tonnes per hour, and by Kason's ultra-high capacity static sieves.
Rounding out the screener line are Kason Kek-Gardner vertical in-line sifter models for check-screening several kilos per hour to production screening of up to 50 tonnes per hour.
Tunnicliffe says, "The screening equipment line complements other Kason Kek-Gardner and Kason equipment in terms of upstream and downstream positioning in the process stream."
One example is Kason's complete line of circular, vibratory fluid bed dryers, coolers and moisturisers—innovative, self-contained systems that offer greater operational efficiency and lower capital cost than rectangular designs.
Other examples include Kason Kek-Gardner size reduction equipment such as air classifier mills, cone mills, universal mills and lump breakers, and Kason Kek-Gardner mixing/blending equipment models including double cone blenders, vertical mixers and horizontal mixers, as well as engineered process systems.
