Solids Handling

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…

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…

A quick way to bag and seal products

The Vertek Series of vertical form, fill-and-seal baggers covers a broad range of speed, bag widths and bag types. Polyethylene and laminate materials can be run on the Vertek Series and all models are designed for low cost of maintenance…

A new way to determine particle size distributions of emulsions

The new LUMiReader PSA instrument allows, for the first time, the determination of the volume-based particle-size distribution for emulsions and suspensions, without knowing the refractive index and without the assumption of spherical and homogeneous particle shape. This opens new horizons…

This rotary feeder valve is designed for abrasive materials

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,…

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…
