Solids Handling

This agitator takes a new approach

ActiFlow is a new alternative to other forms of mechanical hopper agitation. The system reliably prevents bridging and rat-holing of cohesive bulk materials in stainless-steel hoppers. ActiFlow is a non-product- contact device featuring a patent-pending drive system and intelligent control…

This bulk solid diverter offers dust-tight seals

Two-way SealTite Straight Line Diverters offer a versatile solution for gravity-flow applications where dry bulk materials need to be diverted from one source to two destinations. These diverters minimize cross-contamination with a dust-tight seal, and can be used with a…

Preventing Tank Corrosion

The interior surfaces of your storage tanks are constantly at risk. You undoubtedly walk past a tank and do not give thought to what is happening on the inside, but that is because you trust the interior coating to protect…

This particle-size analyzer spans a very broad measurement range

With an extended dynamic range that spans 0.1 to 3,500 microns, the Mastersizer 3000 laser-diffraction particle-size analyzer delivers precise wet and dry measurements. The design of the new optical core results in a high-performance device with a small footprint. Sample-dispersion…

Condition bulk bags with this system

The bulk-bag-conditioning system from this company utilizes hydraulically actuated conditioning arms that pivot to return solidified materials to a free-flowing state. Each conditioning arm features V-shaped, tubular-steel breaker profiles that allow the conditioners to operate safely and efficiently. A rotary…

This agitator-hopper has explosion protection features

Designed specifically for handling bulk materials known to generate combustible dust, this agitator-hopper is equipped with explosion protection and control features, including an explosion-venting system to direct and release overpressure to prepared areas. The hopper’s construction includes reinforced walls and…

A laboratory granulator with an easy-to-exchange container

The Mycromix fast-mixing granulator consists of a bottom drive mechanism and is especially suitable for organic processes. Thanks to the exchangeable container and the easy-to-operate exchange mechanism, the Mycromix is especially suited for laboratory work. — Bosch Packaging Technology, Waiblingen,…

Quickly check product weights without sacrificing accuracy

The XS1 check-weighing system is now able to weigh small and lightweight products at high-throughput speeds with “unparalleled” accuracy, says the company. Ideal for small-size packs as well as expensive products, such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, the XS1 can accurately…

Make nanoparticles with this superheated-steam grinder

With the newly-developed S-Jet system, it is possible to achieve particle sizes in the nanometer range, which were previously achievable only with wet grinding, says this company. S-Jet (for steam and superfine) uses superheated steam as the grinding gas. Because…

Focus on Weighing

A portable platform scale for containers Alliance Scale The new R-Series drum scale (photo) is a portable platform scale designed for weighing drums, barrels, containers, skids and pallets. The scale includes access ramps on two sides, and side rails to…
