Solids Handling

Focus on bins, silos and storage

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,…

WANTED: Repeatability and Consistency for Powder-Flow Measurement

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…

A weighing module for monitoring silo and bin levels

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…

Nanoparticle characterization with a single instrument

By integrating two different light sources into a single instrument, this company unites the functionality of both a near infrared and blue particle sizers. The Multiwavelength LUMSizer 65x is designed for the fast characterization of manifold separation and consolidation phenomena,…

Separate ferrous contamination with these magnets

Super Strength Rare Earth Sight Glass Magnets are part of this company’s ProGrade product line of magnetic separators. The ProGrade Super Strength magnets are designed to remove fine and weakly magnetic ferrous contamination from materials flowing to injection machines or…

Focus on Mechanical Conveying

This weighing system can incorporate up to three loadcells Volkmann The Conweigh (photo) weighing system complements this company’s VS and PPC Series of vacuum conveyors, and can accurately weigh powders, granules, food particles, pellets, capsules and other bulk materials that…

High pressure will not rupture these miniature screens

This new range of flange-mount, Hi-Bar Safety Screens made of MP35N nickel-cobalt-based alloy is compliant with NACE MR017/ISO 15156, and are designed to offer exceptional corrosion resistance and extreme strength for challenging, harsh-duty applications in the oil-and-gas industries. Their one-piece…

Particle-size reduction

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…

Enhanced screening, now available in stainless steel

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…

These IBCs don’t need vibrating discharge stations

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…
