Less Headroom Required for this Vertical Dryer

The AVA Vertical dryer is a combination of a centrifuge with a helical dryer on a lifting column. The system requires lower ceiling heights than a fixed installation of the two components, and can be installed in existing production halls…

Remove vapors from gases with this line of disposable filters

Parker Hannifin This new line of Balston In-Line Disposable Adsorption Filters (photo) is designed to remove vapors from gases. Hydrocarbons, ketones, carbon dioxide, ammonia, mercury, methanol and freons are just a few of the many vapors that can be adsorbed.…

For high throughputs, consider this pressure drum filter

The Pressure Drum Filter (photo) consists of a fully opening pressure vessel with a fixed bumped boiler end on the drive side and a moveable cylindrical housing on the opposite side. Both parts are locked pressure tight by a snap…

This vacuum filter is certified to 0.12 microns

Goodway Technologies The VAC-CRV Dry Clean Room Vacuum with ultra-low-particulate air (ULPA) filtration (photo, p. 32D-2) is certified 99.999% efficient for particle sizes down to 0.12 microns. The vacuum, designed for clean-room surface cleaning, has a stainless-steel tank for easy…

Filter elements in a wide range of materials and pore sizes

This firm offers a variety of standard materials for filtration and fluidization as well as filter elements with ratings from 0.2 to 200 microns. The seamless filter elements are manufactured by isostatic pressing or coaxial pressing via a powder metallurgical…

Concentrate Permeates with Less Energy and Clogging

Traditional crossflow membrane filtration using tubular modules is a cheap, but inefficient, way to concentrate permeate flows. A new development of this technology is Dynamic Crossflow Filtration, whereby rotating membrane discs prevent the clogging of the product layers, and at…
