Safe combustible-dust explosion isolation with this system
Tanks, silos and equipment are usually connected by pipelines through which, if an explosion occurs, fire and the pressure spread very rapidly. In addition, the intensity of the explosion in connected containers is increased by pressure piling and flame jet…
This level bob has a Teflon coating
The Teflon-coated spike bob (photo) is an optional SmartBob probe specifically adapted for measuring powders and solids material that may adhere to the sensor probe. It is ideal for use in sticky materials such, as silica or “frack” sand, powdered…
Customized process vessels and mixing systems
This company’s pressure vessels and integrated mixing/processing systems (photo) are used in production, pilot plants and laboratories for processing, reacting or blending specialty chemicals, adhesives, coatings, biomaterials recycling and more. High-quality materials, welding and finishing assure integrity and validation in…
Laboratory dryer simulates production steps
The fully equipped laboratory dryer BS-miniDRY (photo) has a mobile and compact design. It is easy to install and enables “plug-and-play” operation. The BS-miniDRY can simulate complex processes and production steps, such as drying under vacuum. Because it is identically…
Tableting technology debuts in North America
This company’s “next-generation” tableting technology will be showcased at Interphex (April 26–28; New York, N.Y.). Launched last year at Achema 2015, the Modul Q rotary tablet press (photo) features the company’s Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM). The new version of the…
A new flowmeter with entrained-gas management and more
The Optimass 6400 is said to be the first Coriolis mass flowmeter in the world to feature advanced entrained gas management (EGM), with no loss of measurement with gas entrainment up to 100 vol.%. Unlike other mass flowmeters,…
A smart capacitance sensor for level control
The Advanced SmartLevel capacitive sensor (photo) combines standard capacitive sensing technology and the patented SmartLevel technology, enabling the ability to sense solids and highly conductive acids and bases with the utmost reliability. The Advanced SmartLevel is housed in 316 stainless…
Show Preview-Achemasia
AchemAsia 2016 — the 10th International Exhibition and Conference on Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology — will take place May 9–12 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing. In addition to the exhibition, a number of satellite symposia will…
A two-layer rupture disc with a long service life
KUB reverse-acting buckling-pin rupture discs (photo) are well suited for use with pressure equipment, such as reactors, tanks, pipework, gas cylinders and pressure vessels. The KUB requires no torqueing, allowing for the disc to be periodically examined and placed back…
Modular, electronic pressure compensation for feeders
This company has introduced a new Electronic Pressure Compensation (EPC) system for high-accuracy loss-in-weight feeders. Improvements to the system include higher accuracy and reliability when compared with traditional mechanical pressure-compensation systems, which can be sensitive to structural factors and machine…
