Identify chemicals anywhere with this handheld Raman analyzer
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…
Improved packaging efficiency through smart monitoring
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…
Combining high-shear granulation with a fluid-bed dryer
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…
These belt feeders have a new hygienic redesign
This company has completely re-designed its weigh-belt feeder to be more hygienic. The belts now feature PETG (copolymer of polyethylene terephthalate, PET and ethylene glycol) windows so that operators can perform unobstructed visual checks of bulk-material flow at any time.…
Pressure gages now equipped with calibration reminder system
An automatic calibration-reminder system has been added to the XP2i pressure gage (photo). The new system greatly reduces the possibility of using gages after their calibration dates and potentially incurring regulatory fines. Manual record-keeping and notifications are replaced by customizable…
New, higher-capacity pump for sand and slurry dewatering
The new KB220 pump (photo) operates at flowrates up to 810 gal/min in sand and slurry dewatering applications. The 30-h.p. addition to the KB Series is available in 460- or 575-V versions and offers a maximum head of up to…
A new infrared sensor improves CO2 monitoring
The Ultima X5000 gas monitor is now being offered with the new XIR Plus infrared (IR) sensor to provide enhanced detection of carbon dioxide (CO2). The monitor continuously detects CO2 levels and issues alarm commands when the gas is present…
New hose loaders feature a space-saving profile
The Compact Torsion Swivel (CTS) hose loader (photo) features a fully integrated internal torsion spring for a streamlined profile and has been engineered to replace existing FMC TL loaders or any loaders installed in applications where space is limited. The…
Production crimper with slide-bearing technology
The HM 665 crimping machine (photo) offers an opening stroke of more than 180 mm and an opening diameter of 580 mm (without dies). Using this company’s unique slide-bearing technology, the HM 665 can be used to crimp industrial hoses…
This dispersing mixer also has a proprietary planetary design
The PowerMix Model PDM-10 (photo) combines high-speed dispersion with planetary stirring action, imparting high shear to tough-to-mix applications with low flowability. Beyond a traditional kneading action, the mixing mechanism of this proprietary planetary design is appropriate for heavy pastes and…
