This Unit Simultaneously Meters and Conveys Lime to pH Neutralization

The Lime Feeder simultaneously meters and conveys lime to pH neutralization tanks and pools from silos, bulk bags, 50 lb. bags or any source. Equipped with a.c. or d.c. variable speed drives, it conveys lime vertically, horizontally or at any…

A safe way to transfer hazardous powders

The new, improved "sterile as standard" ChargeBag (photo, p. 40D-1) for contained transfer of potent powders ensures maximum product recovery, quality and operator protection. High containment, with operator exposure limits of less than 1 µg/m 3 during the transfer process…

Particle-size standards for high-resolution calibration

As particle sizing methodologies become more sophisticated, it is becoming increasingly difficult to measure the degree of resolution offered by state-of-the-art instruments. Image analysis methods, for example, offer one of the highest resolutions available, but until now, it has been…

This weigh belt helps minimize material build up

Thayer Scale- Hyer Industries The Model SI Ultra-Sanitary Insertion weigh belt (photo) is designed to enable effective and efficient cleaning for sanitary applications in food processing. The weigh belt features a trough shape to help keep product away from the…

Clean ‘on the fly’ with this drawer magnet

Griswold Pump The HF Series drawer magnets are equipped with powerful magnetic cartridges to handle a wide range of separation tasks in mechanical or gravity flow applications. The cartridges can fully extend outside the housing, and clean “on-the-fly,” with no…

Feeder combines speed with accuracy

Hapman The PosiPortion feeder (photo) offers a 2-in-1 feed screw option that dramatically improves batch accuracy without compromising speed. A two-speed delivery scheme, consisting of a fast turning “bulk-mode” and a slower “dribble-mode”, are used to meet batch set points.…

This devolatization process slashes energy and water use

This firm has developed and demonstrated a two-step process — using its kneader technology — for the direct devolatilization of temperature-sensitive elastomer-cement solutions. The process was developed to address some of the disadvantages of the conventional steam stripping process that…

This Vacuum Receiver Comes in Steel or Aluminum

This Sieve Mill Keeps Getting Better

The ConiWitt sieve mill (photo) offers a number of improvements over its predecessors. For example, the milling distance can be precisely adjusted to less than 1 mm, even without the sieve support ring that was required in the past. The…

Exact and continuous metering of bulk solids

Developed in cooperation with the University of Applied Science (Düsseldorf), the C-Lever direct measurement system (photo) is based on the proven C-Lever II system. The system features a specially designed sensor area that is impact-free constructed and connected with a…
