Efficiency of processing methods for the recovery of unmixed material fractions from masonry - Part 1
1 Introduction
To meet the growing demand for the reuse of recycled mineral aggregate in production, a strategy of differentiation or integration can be adopted [1]:
• Differentiation strategy:...
3 ways to protect equipment in harsh operating conditions
Factories rarely operate in clean or climate-controlled conditions. Dust, humidity, and heat are part of everyday industrial environments, and they directly affect the performance of machines such as...
Because of their size, speed and high-horsepower drive motors, conveyors pose a number of risks to personnel working on or near them. In addition to all of the physical danger zones,...
