Maximizing Performance In Size Reduction

Expect more in selection and scaleup, prediction of energy consumption and reliability Very seldom is a product of desired size manufactured directly in a process. Size reduction, coupled with screening (classification), is commonly used to achieve desired particle size. In…

A new standard for inline particle measurement

Based on 20 years of supporting particle research and manufacturing, the FBRM G Series has been completely redesigned, making it easier to understand, optimize and control particle and droplet distributions in realtime. The FBRM G400 and G600 improve accuracy, and…

An economic way to discharge bulk bags

The Model T4 bulk-bag discharger empties flat-bottom disposable bags without a bottom spout, allowing a rapid, dust-free method handling low-value or hazardous products. The equipment consists of a robust frame and discharge dish, which has a knife to pierce the…

This grinding equipment has a smaller footprint

With a direct-drive system that reduces this unit’s footprint by about half of that required by belt-driven machines, the model CIM-18-SS centrifugal impact mill provides coarse to fine grinding of friable materials into controlled particle sizes. It has the ability…

This miniature weigher is ultra-compact

With a high degree of miniaturization, the WMC weigh module allows in-process control and embedded weighing in a number of industrial settings, including laboratory automation systems, packaging and filling operations and manufacturing. The WMC is the smallest high-precision weighing sensor…

Focus on Packaging, Transportation and Storage

Beumer Group Efficiently stack a wide range of packages The Robotpac (photo) is a fully articulated and fully automatic robot that reliably and efficiently palletizes and depalletizes even complex packing situations. Designed for use with a wide range of packaging…

Ask the Experts: Solids drying

Question:  Besides rotary, fluidized-bed, and flash dryers, what other types of dryers can remove moisture and other volatile compounds from bulk solids? Answer:  For many applications, an efficient and cost-effective alternative is to dry the bulk solid in a silo…

An accurate way to feed large quantities of bulk materials

The Model 26C Vibratory Feeder is a rugged, a.c.-operated unit that enables linear, exact feeding of large quantities of bulk materials. These electromagnetic feeders offer a cost-effective, sanitary alternative to screw feeders, says the manufacturer. The Model 26C is designed…

This wet mill offers 50x the milling energy over traditional

The Ytron HV micronizing wet mill is a rotor-stator suspension milling technology that provides an alternative to traditional media milling, with 50 times the milling energy of a conventional system. The extra energy is the result of this instrument’s high-velocity…

High accuracies in weighing and feeding

When higher accuracy is required in measuring weight using conveyor belt scales, weigh belt feeders, and loss-in-weight feeders, the Force Measurement Suspension System (FMSS) has proven effective in high-speed, high-volume to low-density, low rate applications where control quality and productivity…
