The CoBall annular-gap bead mill is an inline milling system for manufacturing suspensions and other products of almost any viscosity. The mill is particularly suited for superfine grinding of paints and varnishes. The CoBall mills unusually narrow milling chamber is…
ParticleTrack E25 is a new inline particle-system-characterization tool. Modifying focused beam reflectance technology (FBRM) for use in settings where pneumatic motors are impractical, the fully electric ParticleTrack E25 measures aqueous particle and droplet systems for the chemical, food, consumer-product, biotechnology…
This new PinMount weigh module offers manufacturers a chance to convert large tanks, vessels and silos into high-capacity scales, even in harsh environments and classified hazardous areas. The PinMount weigh-module family of instruments weigh from 7.5 to 100 tons. Easily…
The Multipurpose Filler dispenses bulk solid materials into boxes, drums and bulk bags by weight. The unit features a fill head that seals dust-tight against the inlet spout of bulk bags, or connects to transition adapters that seal against open…
Morse Manufacturing Lift and pour drums with this machine The Pilot (photo) is a powered apparatus for lifting, rotating and dumping chemical-containing drums. The walk-behind drum handler has a floor-travel speed of 3.0 mph, a drum-lifting speed of 5 cm/s,…
In the processing environment, powders often appear to exhibit variable flow behavior, which can be the cause of significant inefficiency in the form of unplanned shut downs or compromised product quality. However, the reality is that powder flow properties are…
The Siwarex WP231 is the first weighing module for the Simatic S7-1200 control system. The module is suitable for monitoring filling levels in silos and bins and for products being weighed on platform scales. It is intended for industries that…
