Accelerate product development and small-batch production
A new flexible digital-manufacturing process for product development and small-batch production of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) parts — iCast LSR (photo) — enables manufacturers to develop product variations or try out different design concepts before investing in serial production tools.…
Use these diffusers to prevent settling in sewage-storage tanks
ProFlex 730CBD coarse-bubble diffusers (photo) are used to aerate or mix wastewater for effluent and sewage treatment, ensuring proper agitation of media with high specific gravity. This means that when the sewage is put into a storage tank, settling at…
Heavy-duty mixers for very viscous materials
Heavy-duty FGM-series mixers (photo) feature a high-torque gear reducer to vigorously agitate heavy viscous materials. With a ring-mount design and two opposing handles, this powerful mixer mounts directly to 5-gal pails up to 12.25-in. wide. A quick-change coupler and shaft…
Stackable drum racks and sumps prevent chemical spills
This company’s pallet-rack spill-containment sumps (photo) catch spills and drips associated with liquid storage and dispensing, keeping areas neat and safe. Containment sumps positioned beneath the drum rack are manufactured of heavy-gauge steel, which is galvanized for long service life…
This absorbent media can prevent carbon-bed fires
This company has launched Sulphasorb 2 (photo), a new activated alumina and carbon chemical-adsorbent media that reduces the risk of carbon-bed fires in paper mills and other critical locations. This upgraded chemisorbent media was designed in response to fire concerns…
Use these plug valves with slurries and gritty media
This company’s Cam-Centric plug valves (photo) feature 100% port, which makes them a suitable choice for applications where slurries, grit or solids are present. The valves’ eccentric action allows the plug to rotate and lift out of its seated position,…
