For many manufacturing facilities, thunderstorms can play a significant role in disrupting operations from an increased risk of ignition due to static electricity, as well as lightning strikes to the plant and process equipment. Many manufacturing and storage-transfer processes have…
A new Tip-Tite Mobile Drum Dumper (photo) allows dust-free transfer of bulk materials from drums into process equipment and storage vessels. It is mounted on a mobile frame with quick-action floor jacks for stable operation anywhere in the plant. A…
More than 3,000 exhibitors are projected to participate in IFAT 2016 — the International Trade Fair for Water, Sewage, Waste and Raw Materials Management (May 30–June 3; Munich, Germany). Celebrating its 50th year, IFAT has grown tremendously in all sections…
The SmartCut BKCR3520 (photo) is an ANSI Cut Level 3 glove, which is designed to combine medium-level cut protection with excellent abrasion and slip resistance, with a high level of dexterity. Its slip-resistant foam nitrile palm coat provides a secure…
The Micropilot NMR81 (photo) utilizes 79 GHz technology to generate a narrow beam angle of 3 or 4 deg. Measurements are substantially more reliable, even in narrow tanks, because the radar beam avoids obstacles, such as baffles on the tank…
The Rosemount X-well Technology (photo) is a surface-sensing temperature-measurement solution that eliminates the need for thermowell process penetration when measuring process temperatures in pipe applications. This device provides an accurate and repeatable internal process temperature measurement, while eliminating possible leak…
The Model CM540 Sanitary Cone Mill (photo) delivers gentle, low-energy size reduction while achieving even particle distribution with minimal fines. It is suitable for de-lumping of dried or hygroscopic materials that have agglomerated due to dampness or compaction, for intermediate…
When surfaces of inorganic components have to be homogeneously and reproducibly coated with functional coatings in batch processes, high-performance universal mixers of the Uni tec series (photo) are said to offer significant advantages over conventional systems. The Uni tec mixers…
The AC separator (photo) is said to reach far higher speeds than other centrifuges, such as the decanter centrifuge. The special design of the separator permits the centrifuge to achieve gravitational ( g) forces of up to 10,000 g. Moreover,…
Fidas Frog (photo) is a new fine dust aerosol spectrometer that measures the fine-dust load in indoor areas, such as office workplaces, workshops or laboratories. It shows the PM fractions and optionally the particle-size distributions and more. Fidas Frog communicates…
