Solids Handling

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…

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…

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…

This classifying cutter has a proprietary rotor design

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…

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…

Blending, Sampling and Segregation

Blending and segregation are two opposite and competing processes in solids handling that ideally fit the expression “two sides of the same coin.” But, if you think about it, coins have three sides and sampling completes the idiomatic expression perfectly.…

This large-capacity mill has design features of smaller ones

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…

Granulate and recycle plastics waste for less energy

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…
