Switzerland 19 students from 13 countries were awarded their coveted Diplomas by the Swiss Institute of Feed Technology (SFT) on October 26 It was a happy day at the Swiss Institute of Feed Technology (SFT): Of the 22 men and one woman who started the 31st SFT Diploma Course in the spring of 2012 19 successfully completed their training in feed milling technology says that the students had to walk a “long and winding road” before reaching their goal Nef was happy to report that with Céline Clément (Agroscope-Liebefeld-Poisseaux ALP a lady had once again finished the course: “This proves that the manufacture of formulated feeds has ceased to be solely the business of men.” Reaching the topNef expressed his admiration for the students’ decision to go back to school: “By making this far-reaching decision you took up a challenge that you have now successfully met you have reached the top,” he said during the presentation of the diplomas It has become a tradition at the SFT graduation ceremony to distinguish the graduate who has achieved the highest grade the best in class was Ahmed Hassan Chaudhry of Asia Poultry Feeds Pvl congratulated him on his outstanding average grade of 5.85 out of six points the highest ever achieved since the SFT was set up in 1979 New conceptThis year’s Specialist Course in Feed Manufacturing Technology was for the first time based on a new concept The course is still made up of a Preparatory Correspondence Course and an Intensive Course held in Uzwil What has changed is its duration and agenda With the declared intention of reducing the students’ absence from their workplaces without affecting the course agenda the entire course was divided into two blocks This means that the students attended one first four-week Intensive Course block in the spring followed by a second of the same duration in October the students had to deal with the subject matter of each block in a roughly 14-week Preparatory Course They had to pass no less than 14 written examinations in the course of the two Intensive Course blocks The climax and completion of each individual block was finally the two oral tests in the core subjects in front of a panel of experts Continued educationThe SFT is a not-for-profit association that is recognised by the Swiss Feed Manufacturers Association (VSF) as an institution of training and continuing education A total of 495 students from 65 countries have so far successfully completed the Specialist Course in Feed Manufacturing Technology

Bühler Technology Group is opening its Bühler Energy Center on the Uzwil campus The new building is built according to the latest and most modern standards for sustainability The Bühler Technology Group has made caring for its employees a top priority The Energy Center continues this tradition the demands placed on companies and their employees have increased significantly in many respects and probably also on the fact that positive energy and knowledge are crucial resources and form the basis for well-being These factors have a significant impact on creativity and innovation and are also important for maintaining business continuity especially under difficult or changing conditions Bühler's intention is therefore to invest in a "healthy cycle" Coping with the Corona pandemic was just the tip of the iceberg in an increasingly volatile environment health management and innovation have taken on even greater significance With the Energy Center and its three areas Health & Lifestyle (health management) Lifelong Learning (vocational and adult education) Bühler is making targeted investments in important future fields Long-standing traditions of the company would be reinterpreted to create positive perspectives - both for the employees and for the company The Health Port offers employees various options for taking care of their health and well-being in addition to primary care and medical care for travel In addition to lifestyle check-ups or nutritional counseling there are also offerings that cover the areas of health literacy Vocational training and adult education reflect other important components of Bühler's corporate culture In the new premises and through state-of-the-art methods Apprentices are prepared for the professional world of tomorrow and beyond all employees have access to customized modules for lifelong learning in order to specifically develop their skills in their active professional lives The Prototyping & Production area ensures professional collaboration between the development departments and builds bridges to the Application & Training Centers and Production learners from production and product-oriented professions benefit significantly more from a high level of practical relevance and the enormous knowledge of several generations of experts who work together directly here and learn from each other "The demands on employees in an increasingly complex and dynamic world are very high and we are well aware of this," says Stefan Scheiber "This makes it all the more important for us to promote the competencies as well as the personal responsibility of our employees The Energy Center is made for our employees - young and old - as well as for the employees of our partners as well as our customers." "With the Energy Center we support our employees to better master their professional as well as private challenges along their life phases currently and in the future - therefore we encourage them: Make di fit!" adds Christof Oswald Project Manager Bühler Energy Center and Head of Human Resources Switzerland whose construction started in November 2021 is located at the interface of Bühler's Application & Training Center and Production and is thus part of the Bühler Innovation Campus It exudes openness and combines sustainability and vision in equal measure; interior spaces can be flexibly designed to meet both current and future needs "The most resource-conserving and sustainable implementation possible included the reuse of concrete from the previous building and the use of low-CO2 cement and the support structure of the office section was realized entirely in wood," explains Elvis Pidic architect and Head of Corporate Real Estate Management at Bühler Source and further information: Buhler AG Current trends such as lightweight construction in the automotive industry or the pressure to manufacture increasingly better products at lower cost require creative die casting solutions.  An innovative answer to this is the "Lost Core" technology (salt core technology) which thanks to its completely new possibilities allows for a diverse range of applications More than 100 developers and users from around the globe will able to learn about these multifaceted opportunities at a symposium in mid- November at the Bühler headquarters in Uzwil (Switzerland).What the automotive industry is calling for is cost reduction integral design (reduction in the number of components) and higher productivity The "Lost Core" technology opens up diverse opportunities for this With this technology certain parts of the component to be cast are recessed with a salt core which is then rinsed out again This makes it possible for permanent mold cast and sand cast components to be replaced and at the same time the full benefits of die casting such as material savings shorter cycle times and reduced post-processing can be reaped "Lost Core" also enables the development of completely new components The internal shaping can  comprise complex  designs the combination of multiple components into one single unit enables high function integration and the increased design freedom allows for a completely new component design.Lost Core technology in the Bühler processThe Bühler Lost Core process begins with the component design for the salt core application The behavior of the liquid salt and aluminum in the mold as well as the quality of the component can currently be simulated by software This eliminates the need for subsequent costly adaptations of the mold In the creation of the salt core which determines the internal shaping the optimal salt solution plays a crucial role in ensuring the stability of the core while simultaneously enabling its subsequent removal.The salt core and the aluminum component are produced on a die casting machine with real-time control This prevents damage to the core during re-casting Bühler has the necessary know-how and equipment for the successful application of  Lost Core technology and is in a position to support the complete process from the initial idea to the production stage.A well-attended SymposiumIn view of its diverse possibilities there is naturally great interest in the new technology This was also demonstrated by the well-attended Bühler symposium in mid-November including prominent representatives of the automotive industry and its suppliers were won over by the advantages of the Bühler Lost Core process A concrete project was simulated over all stages one by one to promote better understanding The economic aspects were also not ignored and were emphasized very clearly by Dr Andreas Hennings and Georg Habel from the renowned Bocar die casting company A further highlight was that the participants were also able to experience the various process phases live Lothar Kallien from the University of Aalen supplemented the program by presenting the results of a 3D free-form surface project which was implemented using the Lost Core technology.The final round of discussions provided an opportunity to talk about what was seen and heard in greater depth and to discuss the potential of this technology As a result all of the participants were in agreement: Lost Core will fully open up new opportunities in the coming years and is therefore facing a promising future.auch verfügbar
