This company recently incorporated a new process for full epoxy mounting of round screens for vibratory separators (photo), which leads to faster fabrication times. The use of advanced epoxy materials allows users to switch mount types, resulting in a longer…
To avoid problems with solids flow in bins and hoppers, the friction between the equipment walls and the flowing solids is an important factor to understand. Provided here is a review of flow patterns in bins and hoppers, and practical…
The DJ level switch (photo) provides high or low point-level detection of bulk solids in dust collectors, baghouses, cyclone separators and more, in processes handling chemical powders, minerals and many other granulated materials. This level switch is approved for Class…
This company has added three single-stage gear units to its Nordbloc 1 product line (photo). The new SK 871.1, SK 971.1 and SK 1071.1 are said to provide industry-leading thrust-load capacity per case size. The new products have a power…
The VHC-MSEV family of modular silicon expansion valves (photo) provides cooling capacities ranging from 25 to 50 tons. The electronically controlled, normally closed and one-directional flow valves can be used for refrigerant mass-flow control in industry-standard HVAC and refrigeration systems.…
This company has introduced a new high-speed deluge module (HSDM) for the Eagle Quantum Premier (EQP) fire- and gas-safety controller (photo). The HSDM expands the capability of the EQP so it can activate ultra-high-speed suppression systems for high-hazard applications. According…

Although it contains many valuable metals, electronic waste (e-waste) is an exceedingly difficult material stream to process, and the vast majority of e-waste is not recycled. EnviroLeach Technologies Inc. (Vancouver, B.C.; www.enviroleach.com) is currently preparing to start up a first-of-its-kind…
The gasketed-plate heat exchangers of the NF series (photo) offer a free flow for all media. Unlike traditional models with herringbone corrugation, which have tapered flow channels, the channel cross-section of the NF series is always consistent. This allows particles…
The new HS1T interlock switch with solenoid (photo) delivers an industry-leading 5,000 N of locking force, with many features included to maximize protection in machine and equipment guarding applications. Such interlock switches are incorporated into machinery and equipment to both…
