The inner cone and silo floor work together to form a natural angle of repose that prevents uncontrolled bulk material flow out of the central outlet. The discharge arm rotates to convey bulk material to the outlet at a rate determined by its speed. The silo floor design avoids buildups of material at corners. The BinEX comes in various sizes to accommodate different capacities and dimensions for discharging bulk materials like cement, coal, and minerals from silos. Loesche is an engineering company that designs, manufactures, and installs bulk material handling systems including silo discharge equipment.

An Integrated Approach to Alternative Fuel use in Cement MakingLOESCHE
The world is facing a growing challenge with handling the ever-increasing tonnages of waste materials being produced, while at the same time environmental pressures are driving the push to reduce fossil fuel use in industrial processes. Cement production is no exception in this respect.
Published in www.zkg.de
This document summarizes a case study from Morocco on converting waste into a reliable fuel for co-processing. A waste assessment was conducted to analyze the composition and potential of municipal solid waste. A technical assessment of cement kilns was also performed to evaluate their suitability for co-processing waste. Based on the results, a pre-treating process was designed to produce alternative fuels of varying quality that could be used in the cement production process. With proper quality control and legal framework, the project demonstrated that combustible waste can be reliably used as fuel to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

This dry process developed by Loesche for recovering metals from
steel slag combines all the advantages of conventional processes:
• Efficient and cost-effective metal recovery in the coarse range
• Virtually 100% metal recovery down to the finest fractions
range by means of optimised dry grinding, classification and
sorting technology
• Production of a high-quality mineral filler product with pre-
cisely definable grain size distribution
The process is particularly suitable for
• Slag from the production of stainless steels
• LD slag
• Metallurgically modified slag
Following coarse slag processing (recovery of metal e.g. + 20 mm,
crushing of the mineral components to -20 mm) by means of crush-
ing, screening and sorting technologies such as handpicking, sen-
sor sorting, magnetic separation and/or dry density separation, a
pre-crushed slag fraction is fed into the Loesche mill.
Selective grinding and classification of the mineral fraction to the
desired fineness, and treatment and pre-concentration of the metal
content are performed simultaneously in the mill. The range of fine-
ness of the mineral fraction can be varied, thereby allowing fineness
levels of -2 mm as well as 5,000 Blaine or more to be adjusted. The
mills operating principle permits the utilisation of both the different
levels of grindability and the different specific densities of the sub-
stances contained in the grinding stock for separation.
While a defined filler product exits the mill through the classifier
situated at the top of the mill in the direction of the filter and silo
plant, a high grade metal fraction is discharged via a chute outlet in
downward direction.
If the flow of metal does not yet achieve the desired purity of + 90%
metal, further concentration stages by means of sensor, magnetic
and/or density separation are installed downstream. In that case the
non-metallic product of the sorting process is recycled to the mill.
This way, it is possible to recover virtually 100% of the metal as
metal product and 100% of the mineral product as precisely defined
and metal-free filler.
The Loesche process therefore offers the possibility of creating two
marketable products in a single unit and additionally has the advan-
tage of avoiding the necessity to treat the residual slurry that is
otherwise customary in wet processes.
A typical process variation for special steel slag reduction is depict-
ed in the following flow diagram.

and dry processing of steel slag

The metalliferous slag to be comminuted ① is introduced centrally
or from the side into the mill.
On the grinding table ② the material moves under effect of centrif-
ugal force towards the edge of the grinding table and in this way
passes under the hydropneumatically spring-loaded grinding
rollers ③.
The mineral fraction is selectively ground by the mechanical strain
during the comminution process under the grinding rollers, while the
metal particles are only superficially liberated from adherent mineral
particles and their particle shape is retained to the greatest possible
extent. The heavier metal particles ④ concentrate on the grinding
table, while the mineral fraction ⑤ concentrates above.
The ground particles are tranported over the dam ring into the gas
flow.
The light mineral fraction is carried by the gas flow ⑥ to the classi-
fier ⑦. The metal particles – on account of their higher specific
density – are not intercepted by the gas flow and descend against
the gas flow into the discharge system ⑧.
Material of the mineral fraction to which metal still adheres is
rejected by the classifier and returned via the so-called grit cone ⑨
to the grinding process.
Small amounts of the mineral fraction still naturally adhere to the
metal fraction discharged in the downward direction. If necessary
these mineral particles can be separated in subsequent sorting
steps.
With this operating principle it is possible to recover nearly 100% of
the metals.
