Since 1979, this firm has been Canada’s leading manufacturer of couplings, tube and pipe bends, fittings, diverter valves, slide gates, cyclones and custom-fabricated accessories for pneumatic conveying, vacuum and bulk-handling systems. The company now services the plastics, food, chemical and…

Three New Receivers for Dense-Phase and Vacuum Conveying

The P-Series vacuum sequencing receivers have been redesigned to the same finish standards as this firm’s line of weigh feeders. As part of the redesign, the modularity of the P-Series receivers was improved through the introduction of extension modules to…

Exact and continuous metering of bulk solids

Developed in cooperation with the University of Applied Science (Düsseldorf), the C-Lever direct measurement system (photo) is based on the proven C-Lever II system. The system features a specially designed sensor area that is impact-free constructed and connected with a…

A better way to make pellets of PS and POM

Coperion The WRG range of water-ring pelletizers (photo) for making pellets of polystyrene (PS) and polyoxymethylene (POM) has the advantage that the cooling and conveying medium (water) does not come into direct contact with the die plate. The rotating knives…

Handle a wide range of feed rates with this weigh feeder

This continuous loss-in-weight feeder is capable of handling feedrates between 20 and 24,000 lb/h with accuracies of 0.25 to 1.0% on a minute-to-minute basis to two standard deviations. The weigh feeder is controlled by a microprocessor-based system equipped with one…
