A paper written by Donald Cameron, Managing Director of Primasonics International, has been recognised by the Indian Council for Cement and Building Materials.
A paper written by Donald Cameron, Managing Director of Primasonics International, has been recognised by the Indian Council for Cement and Building Materials.
The paper, entitled "A sound solution to material flow problems" was presented to an international audience in Delhi by Alex Bergus, Product Development Engineer at Primasonics International, and was judged as the best technical paper at the council's seminar last November.
The award of a silver plate and certificate unexpectedly arrived last week from India.
The paper dealt with the use of sound waves at different wavelengths to enable powders and other dry materials to flow more easily and to prevent material build up from occurring within key plant areas in a wide range of dry process industries, especially the cement and power generation industries.
Bergus commented on how excited the Indian cement industry was about the company's acoustic cleaners and how keen the Indians were to acquire this innovative technology which is extensively employed within the UK and Europe.
The Indian market is now the currently the company's second largest export market, especially within the cement and petrochemical industries.
"The fact that we won best paper against a host of other technical papers presented by universities and other, much larger multinational companies makes us particularly pleased and is a good indication of how Cumbrian high-tech companies are producing engineering innovations which in time receives international admiration and recognition".
Audiosonic acoustic cleaners designed and manufactured by Primasonics International have been sold to more than 30 countries worldwide.
