The S-Jet/V is the newest version of the S-Jet range of homogenizers, and was developed to handle a very large amount of solid input. By the changed geometry of the rotor/stator system and increased pumping power, the possible metering of…
A catalyst for making amides from alcohols and amines under aerobic conditions has been developed by Professor Shu Kobayashi and his research group at the University of Tokyo (Tokyo, www.chem.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/users/synorg/index_e.html). The catalyst — nano particles (2.4-nm dia.) of gold and…
Using an array of lamps inside a highly reflective chamber, the optical cavity furnace (OCF) takes advantage of photonics effects to help manufacture solar photovoltaic cells with higher efficiency than those made by conventional rapid-thermal-processing (RTP) methods. In addition, the…
The patented Earthing Bridge is now complimented with a new model — the Universal Earthing Bridge. The new version replaces the earthing cable traditionally used for electrostatic grounding of pipe systems. The bridge is fixed to the company’s pull-ring using…
Sil-X-Shin silicone elastomers are specifically engineered for extruded tubing for healthcare, beverage and architectural glazing applications. The elastomers are available in a wide range of Shore A hardness (from 30 to 80 on the Shore A scale), and come in…
Available from this company, the HNP 11558 micro annular gear pump features the toughest, most chemically resistant materials for its key components, as well as magnetic coupling for leak-free pumping. For example, ceramics are used for bearings and shafts, the…
Rather than using two, two-way automated valves to control the flow of liquids, a single three-way valve does the job with fewer components and lower costs. The PTP Series is a group of three-way PVC ball valves that protect piping…
Using gene recombination technology, Toyota Motor Corp. (TMC; Toyota City, Japan: www2.toyota.co.jp/en) has developed a new strain of yeast that achieves one of the highest ethanol-fermentation density levels in the world — approximately 47 g/L with 87% yield (based on…
Available in ANSI stainless steel with stainless-steel actuator, the Badger Meter RC200 control valve is designed for handling liquids and gases at pressures up to 5,000 psi and temperatures ranging from –80 to 500°C. The valves are available as a…
A new chopper system has been developed for demanding applications where products tend to bind or harden when adding reactants. The chopper is placed tangentially and at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the mixer, through both sides…
