For high throughputs, consider this dry vacuum pump

Edwards The iXL 500 (photo) is the first member of the new iXL line of dry vacuum pumps. The iXL 500 is designed primarily for load-lock applications in solar-cell and flat-panel-display manufacturing where high gas throughputs and fast pump-down times…

Gear pumps that can also handle highly viscous food additives

Gear pumps are commonly used for applications where fluids with high viscosities, high pressures and high temperatures have to be handled. Now, this firm has redesigned a gear pump, which has been used for years for conveying highly viscous, molten…

Sample or dose reactors with this syringe pump

The Atlas Syringe Pump XL is a volumetric dosing or sampling system consisting of two syringes, with up to six port valves. Each syringe can aspirate or dispense independently from any valve port, allowing dosing of one reagent to many…

Slash product cooling time with this homogenizer

Trials with several major producers have demonstrated that the S-Jet homogenizer solution cuts hours off product cooling times and debottlenecks entire production processes. The approach adds one of the product phases at a low temperature into a hot mix. Up…

This pump family is designed for sanitary and hygienic applications

Pro-Flo X Hygienic Series pumps feature the company’s patent-pending Pro-Flo X Air Distribution System (ADS) and the Efficiency Management System (EMS). The ADS provides reliable operation, high flowrates, and anti-freezing characterisics, while the EMS allows the user to control flowrate…

Process nozzles that are driven with, or without air

These new atomizing spray nozzles generate a precise 50-deg hollow-cone spray pattern to ensure controlled atomization in a compact package. The nozzles are available in both airless and air-assisted styles, and are suitable for critical spray applications. The airless versions…

Submersible mixers with longer service lives

The new AmaRoc mixer stand was developed as a secure and durable foundation for the firm’s AmaProp submersible mixers with their large (up to 2.5-m dia.) propellers. The propeller is capable of absorbing all forces generated by the mixer and…

Specialized polymer materials for improving products

Among the new innovations launched at the K-Show are Edgetek AM Flame Retardant, Non-Halogen compounds, a new line of RoHS-compliant, high-temperature polyamide compounds. Configured for easy processing, these compounds are suitable for molding thin-walled parts in multi-cavity tools for improved…

Special pumps for crude oil caverns

    KSB   This firm recently delivered three specially designed, submersible borehole pumps (photo) for discharging crude oil from an underground rock cavern in Sweden. The three pumps are equipped with a 700 kW motor and are operated at…

A Seal for Powder Processes that Require Frequent Washdown

The Meco shaft seal (photo) is offered fully split, allowing for simple retrofitting without the removal of bearings or drives. The seals promise an alternative to packing glands in applications — such as blenders and mixers — wherein dry powders,…
