A powder feeder is reengineered for food applications

The ProFlex F is a new hygienic version of the company’s ProFlex feeder system for applications in the food industry. Two standard versions are available for either wet or dry cleaning. They come in three different sizes (F500, F3000 and…

A thermal fines agglomerator for powder coatings

Said to be the world’s first thermal fines agglomerator, the HotCooler allows producers of powder coatings and toner to re-feed “unwanted” fine dust directly, quickly and easily as chips or flakes back into the production process, thereby significantly reducing the…

Rotary Valves in Pneumatic Conveying Systems

Rotary valves are used almost universally in pneumatic conveying systems. They serve three main functions: 1) to provide a pressure-seal (airlock) between two adjacent processes, 2) to provide solids metering (feeding) and 3) to provide a combination of solids metering…

A mill for making homogeneous suspensions

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…

A new tool for inline particle characterization

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…

A weigh module that handles up to 100 tons

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…

This system fills boxes, bags and drums

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…
