Billions of people come into contact with Bühler technologies to cover their basic needs for food and mobility every day. For this, we develop the best process solutions along complete value chains and make full use of digitalization, for example with our digital platform Bühler Insights. It monitors, analyzes and adjusts industrial processes to make them more efficient. Digital solutions are the key drivers to reach our targets of reducing energy, waste and water usage in our customers’ value chains by 50% by 2025. Two billion people each day enjoy foods produced on Bühler equipment; and one billion people travel in vehicles manufactured with parts produced with our machinery. Having this global relevance, we are in a unique position to turn today’s global challenges into sustainable and good business in close collaboration with customers, academia and start-ups.

Kason is a leading worldwide manufacturer of screening equipment and circular fluid bed dryers, coolers and moisturizers for powder and bulk solids ranging from dry or moist materials to solids-laden slurries. Screening applications include classifying, sifting, scalping, de-dusting, and dewatering on a batch or continuous basis, efficiently separating solids from solids and/or solids from liquids at rates from several pounds to 50 tons per hour. VIBROSCREEN Circular Vibratory Screeners are offered in both gravity-fed and in-line-pneumatic configurations, and range in diameter from 18" to 100" (460mm to 2540mm). Models range from basic, low cost screeners available for fast shipment, to highly custom units incorporating patented Kason innovations. CENTRI-SIFTER Centrifugal Sifters and Separators, also offered in gravity-fed and in-line-pneumatic models, can sift, scalp, and/or dewater a broad variety of dry or moist materials, including bulk foods that tend to ball or agglomerate. New models feature cantilevered shafts that allow for removal of internals, and provide vibration-free operation at high speeds under heavy loads. Kason can supply replacement parts including round and cylindrical screens for any make or model of circular separator or centrifugal sifter. VIBRO-BED Circular Vibratory Fluid Bed Processors can dry, cool or moisturize bulk foods with unmatched efficiency because the circular design is inherently rigid, allowing materials of construction to be down-gauged, motors to be downsized and components to be eliminated. All Kason equipment is available in finishes to meet 3-A, FDA, BISSC and/or other US and international standards required in the food, dairy and pharmaceutical industries, as well as Clean-In-Place (CIP)/Sanitize-In-Place (SIP) designs for hands-free sanitizing, and quick-disconnect configurations allowing rapid disassembly for removal of components, wash-down, screen changes and inspection.
