Separation Processes

Bulk bag fillers with even more throughput than before

Spiroflow Systems Next month at Pack Expo 2010 (Chigago, Ill., October 31–November 3), this firm will exhibit one of its latest Bulk Bag Fillers (photo) with new features that increase the number of bags that can be filled per hour…

This Filter-Cake Shredder Works at Low Energy and Noise Levels

Solid-particle filter cakes are often subjected to high pressure by a hydraulic press when deposited on a filter medium, resulting in a residual moisture level of 15 – 50%. The filter cake must consequently be prepared for further processing, generally…

Remove ferrous contaminations with this rotating system

Rota-Grates (photo) feature a unique rotating design to remove both large and small ferrous contaminants that tend to stick, clog and bridge when passed through flat grate magnets. Rota-Grates provide "exceptional" efficiency on many finely ground materials, such as gypsum,…

Flexible separators for hazardous areas

This firm’s decanters and disc-stack centrifuges assume a key role in the mechanical separation operations in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, including clarification of liquids, classification of solids, and dewatering liquid-solid suspensions and liquid-liquid separations. The firm’s decanters and disc-stack…

This mist collector requires fewer cleanings

The MSH mist collector is the newest addition to the Smog-Hog line of electrostatic precipitators (ESP; photo). Measuring at only 27 X 21 X 20 in., the compact MSH is equipped with the largest capacity ESP collection cell in the…

Replace lenticular filters with these cartridges

Argonide NanoCeram-LR high-performance pleated filter cartridges (photo) have been specifically designed and engineered as drop-in replacements for lenticular filters. They will fit most commercial lenticular housings, and are said to show greater dirt-holding capacity, higher efficiency and wider operating pH…

A new compact, high-flow version of filter regulator

This firm has developed and expanded its range of filter regulators to include a compact, high-flow version. Constructed from 316 stainless steel for both hazardous areas and industrial use, the 1/4-in. self-relieving filter regulator provides an easy installation, repair and…

Minimize Downtime with these Thin, Reusable Air-filter Frames

This firm has fabricated a reusable, thin-envelope air-filter frame, which lowers maintenance costs by allowing for replacement of just the filter media. Available in two designs — both capable of occupying spaces less than 6.35-mm or 0.25-in. thick — the…

Powerful, high-flow filtration in a compact footprint

The AFR Series Tubular Backwash Filter System (photo) is designed for continuous, high-flow filtration (single-system flowrates up to 2,000 gal/min and 454 m3/h). The system is designed to replace a much larger eight-station tubular multiplex system in a compact, 1-m2…

A large-bowl centrifugal separator for industrial applications

The new FPC 24 self-discharging, vertical-disc stack separator (photo) features a large equivalent clarification area, which is realized with a disc-stack geometry that is adapted to the individual application. The FPC 24 has a maximum speed of 5,800 rpm. The…
