Condition Monitoring for Rotating Machinery

Rotating machines, such as pumps, compressors, gas turbines, steam turbines and electric motors, play crucial roles in most chemical process industries (CPI) facilities. Increasingly, advanced condition monitoring is being used to improve the operation and maintenance of these workhorse components.…

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…

Remove magnetic contaminants from ground solids

The Xtreme Rare-Earth Rota-Grate features a unique rotating design that magnetically removes ferrous contaminants from many finely ground cohesive materials, such as gypsum, barium carbonate, lime, confectionary sugar, flour and an array of fibrous materials. The iron contaminants tend to…

High temperature, pressure or dusty products cannot foul this conveyor

Developed to reduce downtime and maintenance costs inherent with particle contamination, the Granulate Conveyor for checkweighers features a unique covered design to protect moving parts. The conveyor is suitable for checkweighers used for all free-flowing granulate products, such as salt,…

Measure particle size and shape with this imaging system

Predominantly used in the industrial diamond industry up to now, the ShapeSizer is now being commercialized for a wide range of applications. The new ShapeSizer has a state-of-the-art CCD (charge coupled device) camera, high-performance computer and sophisticated software, which combine…

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,…
