For most solids-processing operations in the chemical process industries (CPI), particle-size reduction and screening (classification) to achieve the desired particle-size are required, since processes rarely produce the desired size directly. When designing processes, selecting equipment and looking for ways to…
The Russell Compact Sieve is said to offer considerable benefits over conventional spring-mounted systems. In addition to quieter operation [typically less than 70 dB(A)], the screener is able to transmit significantly more vibration to the mesh screen surface. This, combined…
A new range of this company’s Lynflow Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) have been designed specifically for the storage and transportation of difficult-flowing bulk materials. The polypropylene-molded IBCs are fully interchangeable with conventionally shaped bins, but have a smooth, low-friction internal…
The Model SCC-15-SS Screen Classifying Cutter is a high-torque, low-speed unit that reduces hard materials and friable products into controlled particle sizes. Its proprietary rotor design features cutter bits that are attached to a helical array of staggered holders called…
The new 36-in. Orbital Bottom Side Feed Mill is designed to process 3,000–6,000-lb/h capacities, and combines design features normally found only in smaller mills, says the manufacturer. The combination of the bottom side feed and orbital-mill design elements is said…
Among the products being exhibited at the Fakuma Plastics Recycling Trade Show (Friedrichshafen, Germany; October 16–20) is the Granulator SML 45/60 SB with forced feeding (patent pending). This unit has a special granulator design that can considerably reduce its energy…
With a production flowrate of up to 600 kg/h, the Sphero 50 underwater pelletizing system can be applied in testing plants and smaller production plants with pelletizing options for virgin polymers, masterbatches, compounds, recycling, organic and wood-based polymers, and more.…
The P-Series Venturi Loaders are designed specifically for conveying powders in sanitary food, pharmaceutical and chemical applications. The P-Series products can be used for loading hoppers, as well as for loss-in-weight feeder-refill applications. The efficient and compact venturi power unit…
The Material Master bulk bag and drum discharger features the heavy-duty Flo-Master breaker bar massaging system for bulk bags that promotes product discharge. These units are custom-designed according to the specific application requirements, and have stainless-steel surfaces where product is…
The Auto-tapper automatically frees off-specification pellets from the screening decks of pellet classifiers. The Auto-tapper induces a small resonance through the perforated classifier deck that coordinates with the linear vibrating action to gently jolt any pellets blocking the screen and…
