This rotary valve is designed for complete shutoff and long life
The POSI-SEAL rotary valve (photo) is suited to on/off process applications requiring tight shutoffs. The pressure-assisting action of the valve seal ring enables complete shutoff. By minimizing contact between the seal ring and the valve disk, seal wear is reduced.…
Plastic tubing for multiple lines of corrosives
Fluoroplastic Paratubing consists of two to four tubes thermally welded longitudinally to create one conduit of multiple, individual tubes. Paratubing enables running several fluid lines as one entity and then splitting the tubes apart for branching to different connectors. This…
Tex-Flex fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) corrugated tubing
Parker Hannifin Tex-Flex fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) corrugated tubing (photo) can turn sharp corners without kinking. The manufacturer asserts that the tubing can handle bend diameters four times smaller than a typical smoothbore tube of the same size. The tubing’s…
This airflow source can reach surfaces up to 96-in. wide
Exair Long Super Air Knives (photo) produce a laminar sheet of airflow to dry, cool or blowoff surfaces up to 96-in. wide. The blowers feature a compact design with no moving parts and that minimizes the use of compressed air.…
Abrasive slurries are not a problem for this disc valve
Larox Flowsys Oy Designed for heavy scaling, abrasive and corrosive slurries, the LDR Rotory Disc Valve (photo) is suitable for applications in mineral processing, power generation, and the gravel-and-sand, pulp-and-paper, chemical and mining-and-metal industries. The patented design allows the valve…
This catalyst is designed for high-melt-flow applications
The D7000 Donor catalyst is designed specifically to optimize high-melt impact copolymer polypropylene resins, such as the plastic used in automotive interior and food contact applications. The catalyst is said to smooth and speed transitions between product grades and improve…
A tight connector for multiple tubes of microfluidic systems
The Mitos Inline Connector System (photo) provides a single, fast and reliable multi-way connection for microfluidic tubing. Available in three sizes (4-, 8- and 12-way), the connector operates over a wide temperature range (–15 to 250°C) and handles pressures up…
A new line of turbomolecular vacuum pumps
Pfeiffer Vacuum HiPace M (photo) is a new series of magnetically levitated turbopumps that cover the pumping speeds of 300, 700 and 800 L/s and achieve high compression ratios for all gases. A special rotor design delivers unlimited rotor service…
An air nozzle that resists corrosion and high temperature
Exair The ¾ NPT Super Air Nozzle (photo) delivers 4.5 lb of strong blowing force for blowoff, cooling and drying applications located in corrosive, high-temperature, food and pharmaceutical environments. According to the company, the force generated by the stainless-steel nozzle…
A Silcone Gasket that Properly Binds to Powder-Coated Metals
This firm’s silicone-foam gaskets, its closed-cell silicone sponge enclosure-gaskets and its cushioning-pads are now outfitted with two high-strength, pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesives: A 3M 9485 acrylic adhesive for binding thick silicone-sponge gaskets to most metal surfaces and a 3M 9490LE acrylic…
