Multi-product reactors with enhanced heat-transfer requirements are often equipped with simple radially working mixing systems with various types of impellers. To improve the performance of such reactors, this company has developed the Varioblade (photo), which is a flexible, modular impeller…
The annual Water Environment Federation Technical Exhibition and Conference (Weftec) is taking place Sept. 29—Oct. 3, 2018 in New Orleans, La. The event will feature an extensive program of technical sessions and workshops all focused on water management. Over 900…
A flowmeter for biopharmaceutical processes The Flexmag 4050 C (photo) is said to be the first electromagnetic flowmeter with a biocompatible, disposable flow tube specifically developed for single-use biopharmaceutical applications, including filtration processes, chromatography or buffer and media preparation. Featuring…
The new 190 Series (photo) of control and shutoff valves features dye-forged pressure-containing parts (valve housing and bonnet), guaranteeing a homogeneous material structure without any discontinuities. Such microscopic defects, which are very difficult to prevent and to evaluate, especially on…
UniDisc (photo) is this company’s latest innovation for disc stack separators. This new disc technology is said to increase separation capacity by as much as 30%, while simultaneously providing an extremely high degree of hygiene. Unlike traditional separator discs with…
This company’s Platform 4 digital process refractometer system (photo) consists of a probe or compact refractometer and a graphical user interface. The refractometer is a standalone device that is capable of operating independently to provide inline measurement of liquid concentrations,…
The Pulsar Model R86 non-contact radar transmitter (photo) provides level-measurement performance with a smaller-wavelength 26-GHz radar signal, which results in smaller antennas and improved resolution. This is an important distinction for some process vessels because the smaller beam angle allows…
TacticID-1064 is a new handheld Raman analyzer for realtime identification of unknown substances in the field. The TacticID-1064 is said to possess the ability to identify more samples with better accuracy and faster speed than similar Raman devices. It is…
The Quattro monitoring system (photo) delivers performance data, reports deviating values and makes processes and service easier to plan. To use Quattro system monitoring, the machine is equipped with a router. The data collected from the system are sent to…
The patent-pending TwinPro system (photo) unites two previously separate processes — high-shear granulation and fluid-bed drying — in a continuous batch process. Removing wet sieving and product transfer eliminates a critical step, which results in significantly less process time and…
