This company’s new generation of check valves features a hydrodynamically optimized valve cone, which minimizes the pressure loss while increasing flow by 25% compared to the previous generation. It is practically impossible for the valve cone to jam anymore since…
DosaSkid is a “plug-and-play” metering device that can be used for a wide variety of applications, including desalination, boiler-water treatment, industrial water treatment, petroleum refining (additive injection), and clean-in-place tasks in the food-and-beverage industry. Two types of DosaSkid are available:…
Pumping fluids that contain abrasive particles, such as those found in inks and paints can have a detrimental effect on pump performance, with erosion being a key factor in reducing pump life. To meet these challenges, this company has introduced…
The Neles Finetrol rotary control valve can achieve certification approval for ISO 15848-1 class BH fugitive emissions in the most demanding endurance class CH-3 (100,000 mechanical cycles). The new design reduces health and safety risks, says the manufacturer, because leakage…
This all-metal, free-running, self-energizing reusable locknut is manufactured in stainless steel (303, A286 or 90) and 95% Ni stainless-steel alloy and is suitable for protecting and preserving bolts, studs and axle shafts where vibration, tensile strength, corrosion and elevated temperatures…
HinderRust is a new rust-inhibiting lubricant for machinery that is non-aerosol-based, and free of solvents and odor. The multi-use product is designed for machinery and tools, and can extend their lifetimes by keeping them rust-free, the manufacturer says. Specific uses…
Mixing and melting kettles from this company are rated for full vacuum and for temperatures of 250ËšF. The 185-gal, hemispherical vessels are jacketed for 15-psi steam. A submerged steam calandria is also supplied for additional heating. Both the vessels and…
The Bio aseptic transfer valve is said to set new standards for the safe and clean transfer of sensitive product from process to process. The Bio overcomes issues with traditional methods of transfer where there is a brief time period…
Professor Kenichiro Itami and coworkers at at Nagoya University (Nagoya, Japan; synth.chem.nagoya-u.ac.jp) have developed a new, next-generation type of cross-coupling reaction for synthesizing biphenyl compounds — one of the most important backbone structures for pharmaceutical and electronics chemicals. The chemists…
An organosilica material with unique structural properties due to its nanoscale architecture has been used to extract hydrocarbons and other organic contaminants from water. Marketed as Osorb by ABS Materials Inc. (Wooster, Ohio; www.absmaterials.com), the nanostructured glass represents a platform…
