We would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in us as the main supplier to one of the most renowned family businesses in the Upper Swabia region and wish you every success for the future.

The world is becoming faster and more versatile. So are the demands on manufacturers of modern materials. For our customer MIG - Material Innovative Gesellschaft in Salzkotten, North Rhine-Westphalia, we installed a new dry mixing plant for a wide range of building materials and chemical additives at the beginning of 2022.

High product flexibility was the focus of this plant.
Depending on the quantity, the raw materials are delivered either in big bags, in sacks or by silo vehicle. A total of 3 big bag emptying stations, 4 silos and 1 bag emptier are connected upstream of the KNIELE cone mixer. In addition, small components can be fed by hand. The core of the dry mixing plant is a KKM 1000/1500 with 1m³ output. After mixing, the ready-mixed material can either be filled into a big bag, transported into a storage silo or packed into bags in a bagging plant. Truck loading has also been realised.

We wish our customer much success with the new plant and maximum flexibility in his products!

Innovative products for construction not only make physical work easier, but also reduces construction time. With the commissioning of the new mixing plant from KNIELE in combination with a bagging plant from Haver&Boecker, our Austrian customer will be able to produce light plasters as bagged goods in the future.

The cement is conveyed from the silo, which is located outside the hall, into the KNIELE cone mixer KKM via a cement screw. The heart of the plant has an output of up to 375 kg per batch. Styrofoam is fed into the mixer via a pipe conveyor system and mixed with cement and a binding agent.
The big challenge here is to produce a homogeneous mixture of the "heavy" cement and the extremely light polystyrene balls. However, the KKM masters this task within a very short time, whereas other mixers would need several minutes or there would be no mixing at all!
Below the mixer, the material is stored in a pre-silo to continuously feed the Haver&Boecker packaging plant below.

After a big bag emptying station with bag feeding and pipe conveying system was installed for the company AMG Graphit Kropfmühl already at the beginning of 2021, the second construction phase was put into operation exactly 14 months later.

Graphit Kropfmühl is a manufacturer of all products made of graphite, such as powder-metallurgical parts for the automotive industry, carbon brushes for electric motors, insulating materials for the construction industry and many other materials.

At the Hauzenberg site, two more big-bag discharge stations with negative weighing and two bag feed hoppers on a platform have now been installed. The graphite powder is then conveyed into two conical mixers, dosed and mixed.

On behalf of KNIELE, we would like to thank Graphit AMG for the excellent cooperation.

The company CBS Home in Deißlingen produces precast concrete parts according to the CBS system (Compound Building System). Here, the supporting structure, which consists of folded galvanised sheets, is also the formwork for the prefabricated parts - innovative and sustainable at the same time.
The filigree lightweight steel structure is completely encased and filled by the foamed lightweight concrete based on expanded clay.

The heart of the plant is a KNIELE conical mixer KKM 2250/3375 with an output of 2.25m³. The matching feeding system was also supplied by KNIELE. 6 aggregate silos feed a mobile scale via dosing belts. The scale in turn feeds the KNIELE material lift, which transports the mix into the KKM. The feeder lift is equipped with a special fall protection.

Many thanks for the many good discussions and the great interest in our Kniele cone mixers and big bag stations.

We are already looking forward to the next FAKUMA in 2023!
