This company’s family of high-performance seals (photo) are designed specifically for applications in the pharmaceutical manufacturing, analytical instrumentation and hygienic fluid handling sectors. The seals are manufactured with chemical-resistant materials to meet or exceed quality requirements, including United States Pharmacopeia…
The K-ML-BSP-150-S Bulk Solids Pump (BSP) feeder (photo) provides gentle feeding of free-flowing granular materials without using screws, augers, belts or vibratory trays to convey the material. Instead, it utilizes positive-displacement action to feed free-flowing materials, offering uniform discharge, consistent…
TCT Series centrifugal pumps (photo) feature an open and rear-mounted impeller, internal anti-abrasive coating and low rotational speed (rpm), making them suitable for applications where pumps may be exposed to high levels of abrasion, such as ceramics manufacturing or distilleries.…
The new PCU Series of controllers (photo) connect to thermal mass flowmeters to provide a local display of flow output. Serving as a single- or multi-channel mass-flow controller with up to four channels, the PCU controller supports multiple-unit networked operations.…
Baoli-3 dry-cut pelletizers are designed for processing both hard and soft materials. As with previous Baoli generations, the automated cutting chamber-locking system enables fast handling while supporting operator safety. The company also offers the Pearlo underwater pelletizing system for the…
This column is based on “Polybutadiene Production via Solution Process – Cost Analysis,” a report published by Intratec. It can be found at: www.intratec.us/analysis/polybutadiene-production-cost. Polybutadiene (also known as butadiene rubber) is produced from the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene. In terms of…
The new Vibration Bottom system (photo) enables safe discharge of powdery, crystalline, fatty and granular bulk materials from hoppers. The lateral, imbalance vibrator sets the vibration bottom in horizontal, circular vibration. Vibrations are transmitted to the materials column via the…
