The new 190 Series (photo) of control and shutoff valves features dye-forged pressure-containing parts (valve housing and bonnet), guaranteeing a homogeneous material structure without any discontinuities. Such microscopic defects, which are very difficult to prevent and to evaluate, especially on…
This company has introduced a line of classifier systems (photo) that collect and separate dry particles by size range using only ambient air and gravity. Allowing the material to be kept dry upstream and downstream, these air-classifier systems eliminate the…
This company’s Platform 4 digital process refractometer system (photo) consists of a probe or compact refractometer and a graphical user interface. The refractometer is a standalone device that is capable of operating independently to provide inline measurement of liquid concentrations,…
The Pulsar Model R86 non-contact radar transmitter (photo) provides level-measurement performance with a smaller-wavelength 26-GHz radar signal, which results in smaller antennas and improved resolution. This is an important distinction for some process vessels because the smaller beam angle allows…
TacticID-1064 is a new handheld Raman analyzer for realtime identification of unknown substances in the field. The TacticID-1064 is said to possess the ability to identify more samples with better accuracy and faster speed than similar Raman devices. It is…
The Quattro monitoring system (photo) delivers performance data, reports deviating values and makes processes and service easier to plan. To use Quattro system monitoring, the machine is equipped with a router. The data collected from the system are sent to…
The patent-pending TwinPro system (photo) unites two previously separate processes — high-shear granulation and fluid-bed drying — in a continuous batch process. Removing wet sieving and product transfer eliminates a critical step, which results in significantly less process time and…
This company has completely re-designed its weigh-belt feeder to be more hygienic. The belts now feature PETG (copolymer of polyethylene terephthalate, PET and ethylene glycol) windows so that operators can perform unobstructed visual checks of bulk-material flow at any time.…
Software enables interactive analytics on collected data This company recently updated its Seeq R20 advanced-analytics solution (photo) for engineers and scientists working in process manufacturing. The software application now offers expanded machine-learning functionality for users carrying out predictive analytics, and…
New K Series gas compressors (photo) provide a rotary-vane solution for gas treatment and processing applications. With 2.5 to 10 bars(g) pressure and up to 2,690 m 3 /h capacity, the K Series’ sturdy design meets stringent safety criteria. Moreover,…
