Splice detection system for paper and packaging
Sentinel Splice (Joint) Detection Technology (photo) is designed to monitor 1 – 16 webs of material and will detect any splice or joint that may exist within the web-based process. It is applicable to manufacturing processes that require the culling…
Belt scales for very large flowrates
Milltronics MSI and MMI Belt scales (photo) are now available for use on systems with flowrates of up to 12,000 ton/h, an increase of 7,000 ton/h. The MSI and MMI, combined with a Milltronics BW500 Integrator and speed sensor now…
Raman imaging has never been faster
StreamLine Plus is said to be the fastest, fully-scaleable Raman imaging system available today. Readout times can be as short as 6 ms per spectrum, and a high-quality image of an entire tablet can be collected in less than 4…
A new line for simply and easily determining melting point
Mettler Toledo Melting point is one of the most frequently determined thermal values for material characterization. With these new melting point systems (photo), only one click is required to run melting point determination. The units feature an intuitive, color touch-screen…
