This ribbon mixer features novel trough geometry

The Gardner HE Series of U-trough ribbon mixers (photo) has mixing troughs with unconventional short aspect ratios (length to diameter). Short mixing times combined with low-energy, gentle action and high efficiency ensure that minor ingredients are dispersed homogeneously without the…

An online portal for corrosion management best practices

Impact Plus is a new platform designed to benchmark best practices and improve corrosion management across many industry sectors. Built as a tool for management professionals, the program gives users the option to manage their own application of the product…

High-tech compounds resist explosive decompression

Elastomer seals that are used in valves, pipelines, fittings or pig traps have to face exceptionally high requirements. A sudden decrease in pressure can lead to damage of the sealing, a phenomenon known as explosive decompression. The elastomer material is…

Monitor equipment health with this wireless sensor

Vibration screening is one of the most effective ways to detect and prevent equipment failures or downtime, but performing vibration analysis can be complex. The new 3560 FC Vibration Sensor (photo) wirelessly and remotely captures simple vibration screening data on…

Counter costs of metal corrosion with this technology

This company’s Vapor-phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI) Technology turns basic packaging materials like paper, cardboard boxes and plastic bags into corrosion-inhibiting tools that protect by vapor phase action without the direct application of a rust preventative or coating to the metal.…

Simulation-based operator training for separators

SmartSIM (photo) is a sophisticated solution for efficient implementation of new machine-control systems or optimized training of new operators. It is available for various models of solid-liquid separation machines and systems with a Metris addIQ control system. Among the benefits…

Safety-system setup made faster and less complex
