This new vacuum receiver separates solids from air streams using filter media and gravity, and is suitable for applications in which materials contain small particles that are prone to dusting or when dust containment is a primary requirement. The unit…
The Encompass valve-bagging filling system consists of one or two valve bag fillers, an ultrasonic sealer and a robotic bag applicator, all of which are completely enclosed to contain dust within the assembly. This machine is suited for filling any…
The Combiflux line of pumps is now available with the new FBM-B 3100 brushless battery motor. Especially suitable for transferring small volumes out of narrow openings and difficult-to-access containers, these sealless drum pumps feature stepless speed adjustment at capacities ranging…
This loop-powered particulate-matter flow and emissions monitor also detects filter leaks in baghouses, cartridge dust collectors and cyclones. Simple two-wire installation and single-piece mounting, along with heavy-duty construction and charge-induction sensing with no optics enable low-maintenance operations, even in applications…
The SFT-250 supercritical fluid extractor is designed for extractions in supercritical fluids in both laboratory and small-scale pilot applications. The unit is forged from 17-4-PH stainless steel, making it both durable and lightweight.The SFT-250 can extract very low levels of…
Increasing global demand for energy and a drive to develop renewable energy sources have focused research and development attention on biomass (including wood, agricultural residues and municipal wastes) as a source of energy and products. Biomass can be converted into…
Plate-and-frame heat exchangers, or plate heat exchangers (PHEs), are a type of compact heat exchanger. PHEs have been widely used in the food industries, mainly because they easily meet health and sanitation requirements due to their simple disassembly for cleaning.…
Leaks in a chemical process industries (CPI) facility can run the gamut from creating a costly waste to prefacing a catastrophic failure.. They can be an annoyance, by creating pools of liquid on concrete that can become a possible slipping…
