Achieve low pressures with this combination system

The Hydrotwin (photo) is a compact vacuum-pump package that guarantees a vacuum level down to 5 mbar (absolute) — previously not achievable by conventional stand-alone liquid-ring vacuum pumps, says the manufacturer. Capacities of up to 2,000 m 3 /h can…

Ball valves for high-pressure applications

The new VB-15 and VB-65 ball valves will be launched at Achema. These valves are said to be safe and reliable, and are suitable for high-temperature or high-pressure applications. The VB-15 (photo) consists of three pieces and four bolts to…

A positive displacement alternative for syringe pumps

Cheminert Models M6 and M50 liquid handling pumps (photo) are a new option for precision handling of liquids and gases, producing a bidirectional, pulseless flow with a range of over six orders of magnitude (10 nL/min to 10 mL/min for…

Calibration gases that last longer

The HiQ 60 range of calibration gases includes pure gases and non-reactive gas mixtures that have an extended 60 month (5-yr) shelf life and flat-line guarantee, allowing for greater reliability in the accuracy of instrument measurement and longer-term usability of…

This valve packing achieves ultra-low emission

A new low-emission valve stem spool packing delivers emissions performance of <20 ppm average leakage. Two unique types of graphite packing comprise the new style 212-ULE product. The new packing is self-lubricating for low valve-stem friction, nonhardening, dimensionally stable and…

Save considerable energy when mixing with these agitators

This firm has launched a new range of energy-efficient agitators designed to enhance flow by eliminating potential blockage areas. The detachable agitator shaft is completely smooth and the clutch is positioned outside the tank; this ensures excellent levels of hygiene,…

Tex-Flex fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) corrugated tubing

Parker Hannifin Tex-Flex fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) corrugated tubing (photo) can turn sharp corners without kinking. The manufacturer asserts that the tubing can handle bend diameters four times smaller than a typical smoothbore tube of the same size. The tubing’s…

This airflow source can reach surfaces up to 96-in. wide

Exair Long Super Air Knives (photo) produce a laminar sheet of airflow to dry, cool or blowoff surfaces up to 96-in. wide. The blowers feature a compact design with no moving parts and that minimizes the use of compressed air.…

Abrasive slurries are not a problem for this disc valve

Larox Flowsys Oy Designed for heavy scaling, abrasive and corrosive slurries, the LDR Rotory Disc Valve (photo) is suitable for applications in mineral processing, power generation, and the gravel-and-sand, pulp-and-paper, chemical and mining-and-metal industries. The patented design allows the valve…

This catalyst is designed for high-melt-flow applications

The D7000 Donor catalyst is designed specifically to optimize high-melt impact copolymer polypropylene resins, such as the plastic used in automotive interior and food contact applications. The catalyst is said to smooth and speed transitions between product grades and improve…
