Adjustment and control of moisture levels in solid materials through drying is a critical process in the manufacture of many types of chemical products. As a unit operation, drying solid materials is one of the most common and important in…
The Promo-Flow Discharge Aid consists of an internally mounted screen and an externally mounted vibrating apparatus that is designed to aid in the discharge of dry powders from silos and bins. The vibrating element transmits vibration directly into the product,…
The En-Masse conveyor moves bulk materials while optimizing space utilization with its large size-to-capacity ratio. Useful in applications including boiler feed, receiving, distribution and ash handling, this conveyor’s totally enclosed framework minimizes area dusting and loss of material. Capable of…
The new ProFlex V vibratory feeder (photo) features two alternative discharge lengths to offer maximum flexibility in process integration. By turning the feed hopper of the new chute feeder in 90-deg steps, it is possible to achieve four different discharge…
Like most of the world, weighing instrumentation has gone digital and gotten connected. Not only do today’s scales, weight transmitters, check weighers, and other weighing equipment include more modern technological advances, but the up-to-date improvements also provide contemporary solutions for…
Gear units play a critical role in a diverse array of chemical process industries (CPI) facilities, to match the speed of a selected driver with the speed of the driven equipment. Today, they are used extensively in pumps, turbines and…
Calculating volumes of solids in piles as they are poured into various shaped containers can be important information for solids-handling applications. The following set of equations represents guidance to help determine solids volume in these cases. Solids in containers Solids…
The Rotoform G4 builds on more than 30 years’ process experience and introduces a number of features relevant to hygiene-critical applications, including easier cleaning, enhanced bearing seals and a lubrication-free drive-belt option. The core process combines the Rotoform drop depositor…
The Models 205 and 210 Storm weight indicators now offer four bidirectional serial ports, USB-B (standard) and USB-A (optional) for additional connectivity interfaces. Also, the 210 Storm indicator now features eight-channel I/Oa, digital fill control, 25 IDs and alphanumeric keypad.…
Milling is a mechanistically driven process that breaks solid material into smaller pieces. Selection of the optimal mill is a daunting task that often leaves engineers relying on vendor suggestions to decide which mill is right for their job. This…
