This company has demonstrated that tunable diode-laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) can provide the advantages of continuous process control of pharmaceutical drying to manufacturers using water as their primary solvent. Working with a pharmaceutical manufacturer, this company carried out a production…
The Ecodos diaphragm metering pump (photo) is mechanically driven, rather than hydraulically driven. Due to its simple construction, it operates without hydraulic oil and can also be used for sensitive applications in the pharmaceutical field. Fluids that would react with…
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…
VP-Series metering pumps (photo) are designed for applications requiring continuous, pulse-free fluid flow at pressures up to 12,000 psi. VP Series pumps are controlled by either the company’s proprietary VPWare software or by a customizable library of LabVIEW virtual instruments…
The HD-3.5-7-S316 ribbon blender (photo) is constructed of 316 stainless steel to meet sanitary standards, and can blend up to 65 ft3 of powders, pastes or slurries. The blender’s two-to-one length-to-diameter ratio is said to distribute ingredients uniformly during loading,…
The FCB400 (photo) is the latest expansion in the CoriolisMaster product range of mass flowmeters. A new standard-electronics platform offers users up to five configurable communication outputs via optional plug-in modules, and the entirely digital internal-communication system requires no special…
The No. 1003 gas-fired walk-in oven (photo) is intended for drying molded fiber parts. The 500°F oven features 4-in.-thick insulated walls and an aluminized steel exterior. The oven’s interior is stainless steel with continuously welded seams and insulated floor. No.…
The new HemiPleat FR Carbon dust-collector filter (photo) combines flame-retardant and conductive properties in a single filter. With high efficiency and a long service life, the cartridge filters are especially suited for explosive-dust applications, making it possible to conform to…
The 1-SHRED-H (photo) is an industrial grinder intended for small-facility use in recycling, food-processing and food-waste applications, including waste preconditioning for composting or anaerobic digestion. The dual-shafted grinder operates at low speeds and high torques to deliver very high cutting…
