The Megatex XD Screener provides high-capacity throughput for large-volume applications in agriculture, plastics and chemicals. The screener has a unique elliptical-linear motion designed for high screening performance with low energy consumption. A single-screen deck change can be completed in 10…
This firm’s line of volumetric Rectangular Feeder Machines (RFM) has been extended to include the compact, self-contained RFM Integra Series, vibrating feeders with a built-in bulk hopper inlet. This new Series has an integrated hopper and feeder design that relies…
The Drymeister (DMR) is a continuous, flash mill dryer that economizes the drying process based on its ability to handle high-solid-content feeds, saving time and energy. In the DMR process, wet material is fed into the grinding and drying section…
The Multidos HPG (high pressure gravimetric) weighfeeder is the new generation of weighfeeders and coal conveyors that are resistant to 3.5 bar shock pressure. The units tension roll and active belt-steering system maintains belt alignment, even in the event of…
Dinnissen Up to now, the Pegasus Vacuum Coater (photo) has been used for producing granular and extruded products. Now, a new application for the Pegasus is being introduced: the drying of a variety of ingredients at low…
Agglomeration is the process of converting fine powder particles into larger particles by the introduction of external forces. Agglomeration is often desirable because the process yields a product that has a higher bulk density, contains less dust, and has improved…
An improved understanding of air classifier systems and their application can help in selecting the right device Mechanical centrifugal air classifiers are used extensively to process aggregates, ceramics, chemicals, foods, minerals, metals, plastics, flyash and other materials. They are normally…
Question: Should we convert from manual dumping of sacks to discharging from bulk bags? Answer: Dry, bulk chemicals have long been purchased in 50-lb (23-kg) paper and plastic sacks for several reasons. In volumes smaller than rail and truckloads,…
These days, there seem to be more reasons than ever to change feedstocks throughout the chemical process industries (CPI). Whether environmental, or more directly based on financial and market drivers, big benefits usually require big changes. This is especially true…
Feeder combines speed with accuracy Hapman The PosiPortion feeder (photo) offers a 2-in-1 feed screw option that dramatically improves batch accuracy without compromising speed. A two-speed delivery scheme, consisting of a fast turning “bulk-mode” and a slower “dribble-mode”, are used…
