The maintenance-free RSK swing check valves (photo) offer a high functional reliability because a tight shut-off is ensured by a rubber-lined valve disc without rotating parts and without extensions through the body wall. Because all wetted parts are rubber-lined, they…
The Turbex extractor (photo) helps to produce high-quality extracts from botanicals and natural products and to turn waste, such as orange peel or brewer’s spent grain (BSG), into revenue-generating nutrients. This patented extraction technology uses a series of rotors and…
This company has introduced a range of ultra-low profile bolt-load washers that is ideal for bolt-load and tensioner tool calibration. Called TensionDisc (photo), the washers are specially designed load sensors that monitor bolt loads in bolted joint assemblies. A simple…
The custom designed three-stage heat exchanger (photo) will be used to increase temperature of a 25,000 std. ft3/min airflow from 50°F to 330°F using 145 psig steam. Each stage is nearly 7 ft tall and 8 ft wide. Heated air…
Condition monitoring for predictive maintenance (photo) is a drive solution that focuses on status-oriented maintenance rather than traditional time-based maintenance. Status and drive data are recorded periodically or continuously via the programmable logic controller (PLC) output parameters and can be…
The TurboVap 96 Dual (photo) is a second-generation well plate evaporator system with two separate, and independently controlled evaporation compartments. The TurboVap 96 Dual has been designed to support enhanced well-plate evaporation within the sample-preparation workflow. With its unique two-in-one…
The Compact Controller 100 (photo) is a small controller with integrated input/outputs (I/Os) that is suited for smaller automation solutions. Thanks to its design as a DIN-rail built-in installation device according to DIN 43880, the new controller can also be…
Optimized crystallization units can help address the challenges posed by product-purity requirements in the battery industry Crystallization is a key purification process that has been used for decades to refine sugar, produce essential pharmaceuticals and recover valuable salts. Producers of…
Lysine (Figure 1) is an α-amino acid used in the biosynthesis of proteins. The compound contains an amino group and a carboxylic acid group. Under biological conditions, the amino group is protonated (–NH3+) and the carboxylic acid group is deprotonated…
When a pump operates inefficiently, or fails all together, the challenge is to make the most economical decision on how to remedy the situation. Some guidance is provided here Centrifugal pumps are widely used throughout the chemical process industries (CPI).…
