Designed specifically for rugged applications and processing of harsh and abrasive materials, the CI Series of rotary feeder valves provides bulk-material processing operations with continuous performance, reduced maintenance and optimal energy efficiency. The valve housings are cast to ensure strength,…
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…
The CPP 130 is said to be the first nestable, lightweight pallet that is compatible with all roller and chain conveyor systems. The bottom support enables nestability and transportation on automated conveyor systems. The contact area of the 12 feet…
To confidently design, operate and troubleshoot solids-handling processes, engineers need to characterize powder flow in ways that relate to in-plant behavior. Universal powder testers provide the multi-faceted characterization that is necessary to reliably predict operational performance. This article examines the…
Dilute-phase conveying systems generally use centrifugal fans and positive displacement blowers for supplying conveying air to the conveying system. However, for some conveying systems, compressed air from a central compressor station is also used. The two important criteria required for…
Over 1,000 exhibitors from all over the world will fill six halls at the Nuremberg Fairground for Powtech/TechnoPharm 2011 (October 11–13). Held every 18 months, Powtech — the International Trade Fair for Mechanical Processing Technologies and Instrumentation — is…
A newly introduced cryogenic grinding mill from Air Products and Chemicals Inc. (Allentown, Pa.; www.airproducts.com/ultrafine) can generate consistent yields of particles between 45 and 250 µm, and in some applications can achieve particle sizes of 10 µm. The ultrafine grinding…
Replacing its predecessor, the new GKF 702 capsule-filling machine has been designed to produce small batches directly in the laboratory. The parameters required later for production, such as machine speed, can be fully simulated. Therefore, the machine can produce small…
The MTS hydraulic Lift & Seal System safely inverts drums of dusty powders, and meters the contents into an existing vessel. The system seals the drum to a dust-tight pour cone with outlet valve for a clean working environment. The…
The MGTL laboratory model is a powerful mixing granulator for small batches to supplement the proven series. Equipped with a double jacket and interchangeable vessels, it supports the process stages of small-scale mixing, moistening, granulating and heating or cooling. A…
