ACHEMA 2018: An insight into technology developments

Robinson Brothers’ engineering department have just returned from successful trip at ACHEMA 2018.

This tri-annual event has become the exhibition for identifying new equipment suitable for chemical manufacturing and attracts over 15,000 professionals from across the world.

ACHEMA offers a platform for manufacturers to understand technology developments in chemical engineering. This week-long exhibition consisted on equipment displays, demonstrations, networking opportunities and informative presentations.  This year, Robinson Brothers’ Chemical Engineer and Project Engineer attended the exhibition to learn of the latest methods in which manufacturing can be optimised. There was a whole host of equipment demonstrations; ranging from filter-driers to continuous flow reactors. The exhibition also offered a platform to meet with existing and new suppliers to discuss new technologies used in chemical manufacturing. This included equipment suitable for lab-scale and large-scale plant production.

Robinson Brothers is capable of manufacturing 100g to >10,000kg quantities of chemical intermediates. This is achieved by working in partnership with our sister company Endeavour Speciality Chemicals Ltd, based in Daventry UK. Robinson Brothers can provide early stage development capabilities to support the introduction of new chemical entities or new product development. To enable the seamless scale-up production of chemical intermediates, Chemical Engineers are continuously reviewing the equipment available on-site to replicate processes at lab-scale, in production plants.
