To obtain a representative sample for particle size characterization, adhere to the golden rules of sampling and follow these best practices In the chemical process industries (CPI) it is often necessary to verify material specification at various points in the…
The 42 NSD-1S is a new multipurpose ribbon blender equipped with interchangeable double-ribbon and paddle agitators. With a maximum working capacity of 1 ft3, the 42 NSD-1S is ideal for most laboratory and pilot-scale blending requirements. This vacuum-rated blender also…
The Material Master Bulk Bag Discharging System provides dust-tight discharge of non-free-flowing materials. A breaker bar bag-massaging system promotes product discharge, while an actuated discharge-spout-closure system can halt material flow for partial bag discharge. The unit includes a 24-in. square…
This company’s latest retrofit containment project included a Bosch capsule-filling machine that was completed for a U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturer. The design included the gloves being held in special gloveport retainers with integral safety interlocked guards. The operator required less than…
If you were to ask chemical processors what they’re looking for from their screening equipment, it’s likely that the answers would be as varied as the chemicals they produce because screening requirements are entirely dependent upon the material being screened.…
Recently optimized product features of the Mogensen sizer include the output ports, the vibration absorption system, the screen tensioning system and redesigned dust covers. The output ports have been redesigned for material flow optimization, and also feature larger inspection ports…
This company has recently optimized product features for its Mogensen particle sizer. The Mogensen sizer has sloped screen decks to allow particles to have freedom of movement while maximizing the capacity of screen area. For example, the output ports have…
Rotating machines, such as pumps, compressors, gas turbines, steam turbines and electric motors, play crucial roles in most chemical process industries (CPI) facilities. Increasingly, advanced condition monitoring is being used to improve the operation and maintenance of these workhorse components.…
ActiFlow is a new alternative to other forms of mechanical hopper agitation. The system reliably prevents bridging and rat-holing of cohesive bulk materials in stainless-steel hoppers. ActiFlow is a non-product- contact device featuring a patent-pending drive system and intelligent control…
Two-way SealTite Straight Line Diverters offer a versatile solution for gravity-flow applications where dry bulk materials need to be diverted from one source to two destinations. These diverters minimize cross-contamination with a dust-tight seal, and can be used with a…
