| Powtech presents world of powder and bulk solids  Powtech, the International Trade Fair for Mechanical Processing Technologies and Instrumentation, takes place at the Nuremberg exhibition centre from 30 September to 2 October 2008. The exhibition is the world's leading technology forum for all applications of powder, granule, bulk solids and nanotechnology. The fascinating world of powder and bulk solids decisively influences the properties and quality features of a wide range of products. Raw materials and products in the form of particles form the key elements in many sectors of industry: For catalysts, an extremely large specific surface area is necessary to obtain large active areas in the smallest volume, in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals they carry the active ingredients, and in coatings and paints the pigments are responsible for new colour effects.By international comparison, especially European companies are among the outstanding technology leaders in mechanical processing technologies. This pacemaker function of mechanical processes for all segments of the material conversion industries on the one hand and the high concentration of companies that develop and manufacture top technology for mechanical processes in Europe on the other has made Powtech in Nuremberg Europe's leading exhibition for powder, granule and bulk solids technology, particle analysis and dust explosion protection for many years. Some 750 exhibitors (2007: 714 exhibitors) from more than 22 countries are expected at Powtech 2008. This makes Powtech the world's biggest presentation of mechanical processing technologies and instrumentation. Here the particle and process specialists from the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, ceramics, quarrying, earthworks and plastic industries all over the world obtain a compact and comprehensive survey of the current situation in mechanical processing technologies. Powtech is known for very efficient and concentrated information exchange between manufacturers and plant operators. The clarity achieved by its concentration of themes is a decisive advantage for visitors. Proof of this exceptional position as technology forum is the number of visitors from 69 countries, which has grown constantly for years. Over 16,000 trade visitors are expected at Powtech 2008 in combination with TechnoPharm (2007: 16,174). Four month before the event, 632 companies or 89 per cent of last year's exhibitors have already registered exceeding the space of last year. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
