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…
Focus on Industrial Hygiene
This hood captures unwanted fumes from work spaces The Purair Advanced P20 Ductless Fume Hood (photo) is designed to protect workplace operators from hazardous substances. It provides a face velocity of 100 ft/min to contain fumes. The unit is 49-in.…
A leak-detection solution for helium and hydrogen
The ASI 35 modular leak-detection system is especially suited for use with tracer gases, such as helium and hydrogen, in integral and localizing test procedures, or a combination of both, with minimum signal background and crosstalk, providing for fast overall…
A vacuum-pump system for tabletop or mobile use
Turbolab high-vacuum pump systems (photo) are compact and pre-assembled, and are available with different configurations to cover a wide range of vacuum demands. The system’s turbo pumps feature an oil-free hybrid bearing design. Turbolab systems are available in tabletop or…
Ball-valve mechanisms in these couplings protect against spills
Epsilon dry-disconnect couplings (photo) are designed for use in critical in-plant and chemical-transfer applications in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Examples of volatile, hazardous or high-value pharmaceutical compounds whose transfer can benefit from the use of Epsilon disconnects include dichloromethane, toluene, ammonia and…
These mixers are now available for higher capacities
This company has expanded its most advanced planetary mixer line, the PDDM (photo), to include larger working capacities up to 750 gal. The PDDM is a multi-agitator mixer featuring two planetary stirrer blades and two high-speed disperser shafts. Designed for…
A new crossflow filtration system for process development
SartoFlow Smart (photo) is a new benchtop crossflow system for optimized ultra- and diafiltration applications. It can be used in many downstream processes, such as purification of vaccines, monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins. The system is suitable for flexible use…
These vacuum regulators are now available in aluminum
This company’s dome-loaded vacuum regulators are now available in an anodized aluminum version (photo). Previously, the regulators were only available in stainless steel or polyvinyl chloride. The lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum models are suitable for many vacuum applications, such as extrusion…
Level Monitoring and Control
Acoustics-based device monitors uneven topography The BinMaster 3D Level Scanner (photo) uses non-contact, dust- penetrating technology to detect solid material surfaces. It provides early warning of surface irregularity, the development of cones, or sidewall buildup in bins and vessels, and…
