Prevent Corrosion with this Additive for Hydraulic Fluids

UCON Advanta Hydrolube Concentrate is a new, patent-pending water glycol hydraulic-fluid technology that enables the production of formulations with "outstanding" shear stability when compared with conventional water glycol hydraulic fluids. The Concentrate is designed for hydraulic systems utilizing vane, gear…

This Plastic Ball Valve is Now Even Bigger

This firm has expanded its line of thermoplastic ball valves to include larger pipe sizes. The true-union valves  are designed for 3 and 4 in. piping, and are available in PVC, CPVC, PVDF and polypropylene. Standard seals are EPDM or…

Contain Spray-Outs with this Safety Shield

This firm has launched a range of safety shields (photo) that provide simple, yet highly effective protection from dangerous spray-outs, which can occur from pressurized pipelines containing diesel, lube oil and other potentially harmful liquids. The shields are designed to…

Save Energy and time with these New Rotary Blowers

Unveiled at Powtech 2008, the DB 166 C and DB 236 C (photo) are this firm’s latest generation of rotary blowers. System operators not only benefit from the significant energy and operational savings that these blowers offer, but are also…

TÜV-approved safety valve communicates via Foundation Fieldbus

The new Neles ValvGuard VG9000F for Foundation Fieldbus (photo) is said to be the first TÜV-approved SIL3 Foundation Fieldbus (FF) safety valve controller to appear on the market. It combines the benefits of FF communication with the technology of the…

Split shaft seals for mixers and other rotating equipment

These seals (photo) are available fully split to retrofit mixers, blenders and most other rotating bulk process equipment without the removal of bearings or drives. The seals work like a thrust bearing; there are no internal springs to loosen, corrode…

A flexible, inert hose for high purity applications

With a silicone and stainless-steel reinforced, smooth-bore PFA core, Coreflex Series U-COR hose (photo) offers increased flexibility, yet resists kinking. This flexibility allows for easy installation and short offset orientations, and additional use in applications that promote drainability and flow.…

Achieve the benefits of dry processing in this reactor

The proven KneaderReactor technology combines specialized mechanical and thermal features, and allows polymers, chemicals, fibers and food products to be manufactured without the addition of solvents. Designed for high torques, the systems are capable of processing highly viscous, pasty and…

Hose pump boasts lower total cost of ownership

Series LPP pumps incorporate a unique operating principle that, among other benefits, offers preferred energy efficiency. Thanks to the rolling hose contact, no excess friction and thus, no excess heat, is generated. In fact, less risk of overheating means that…

For clean applications, use this metal-free

The all-plastic DrumQuik PUR chemical-dispensing system (photo) provides extraction of high-purity chemicals from drums, jerry cans and intermediate bulk containers. The system is comprised of a PVDF coupler and an HDPE drum insert assembly. The drum insert assembly contains a…
