A new generation of centrifugal mixers for 3D printing materials

Smart DAC centrifugal mixers (photo) feature variable counter-rotation, increased mixing weight (250 g up to 2 kg) and volume (310 mL up to 2.8 L) and allows up to 30 min of mixing time. The mixers feature real-time temperature control,…

This line of ball valves has an expanded operating range

This company has expanded its line of high-performance ball valves to include 2.5-, 3- and 4-in. sizes of the 585HP-LF and 585HP-66-LF bronze ball valves (photo) in solder, threaded and press end connections. Designed for commercial and industrial applications, the…

A low-power CH4 sensor with digital and analog capabilities

FlameIR-ME1 is a new methane sensor that uses a solid-state LED optical technology and operates with a low energy consumption. The sensor is compatible with battery-powered operation, allowing the sensor to be used in a wide variety of applications, including…

Monitoring of chlor-alkali electrolysis sub-processes

Chlorine and caustic soda are essential chemicals whose production is indispensable for downstream chemical processes. Due to the immense production volumes in a typical chlor-alkali plant, small deviations and errors in the individual production steps can mean large financial losses.…

An expanded series of smart Roots pumps

The new line of Roots pumps from the HiLobe series (photo) cover a wide range of applications that require large chambers to be evacuated rapidly. These new Roots pumps handle a wide range of nominal pumping speeds up to 13,600…

Growing sulfur batteries from crystals

Strain on demand for critical battery metals is forcing manufacturers to seek alternative materials. Sulfur’s high thermal stability and abundance are making it a promising emerging battery material. A new class of solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries developed by Theion GmbH (Berlin,…

A new burner slashes NOx emissions from iron-ore pelletizing plants

Before being fed to the blast furnace, iron ore is first converted into pellets by, for example, a traveling-grate (TG) pelletizing plant. In this plant, so-called green pellets are conveyed through a furnace that heats the pellets to high temperatures…

An ammonia leak-detection system for process refrigeration

The Chillgard 5000 NH3 monitoring system (photo) features a sophisticated design with photoacoustic infrared (PAIR) sensors that provide an easy-to-install, highly reliable gas-detection solution specifically for ammonia. The systems are compliant with ANSI/International Institute of Ammonia Research (IIAR) and EN378…

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,…

Power supply units with IO-Link for field Installation

The compact PSU67 power supply units (photo) ensure energy-efficient, decentralized power supply in modular systems at ambient temperatures of –25 to 70°C. The units have protection to IP67 and are suitable for single- and three-phase applications in modular machine building.…
