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…
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…
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…
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…
The HI 6500-XP Extreme Weight Processor (photo) is an EtherNet/IP-enabled weight processor that can process and output 300 updates per second of processed stable weight. The processor’s fast communication with the process logic controller (PLC) allows for higher product yield…
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…
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…
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…
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…
In March, this company released Version 7.0 of its ChemCad process-simulation software. Featuring a new graphics engine, updates to the software suite include enhanced flowsheets at any zoom level, and three new display schemes for unit operations — color, grayscale…
