The Hydraulic Fixed Ratio (HFR) Metering System (photo, p. 29) improves throughput and significantly reduces waste and rework in adhesive and sealant dispense applications. The HFR is a meter, mix and dispense system that is capable of processing multiple sealant…
Much of a plant’s air costs can be associated with inappropriate uses of (or artificial demand for) compressed air. This company’s Air Saver Unit (ASU) pneumatic valves (photo) save energy by interrupting the flow of compressed air to blowing end…
The Lift & Tilt touchscreen table (photo) is now available with a 65-in. display. The ample workspace of the display and the electrically adjustable height and tilt angle enable group interactivity, ideal for team review of collaborative or data-driven applications.…
FLT93L Series FlexSwitch (photo) accurately monitors pressure-relief valves for escaping flow with a flow-sensing switch-alarm assembly that is based on thermal-dispersion technology. The FLT93L switch detects leaking or seeping gas in lines to alert engineers to overpressurization. It issues a…
Instruments in this company’s PTFE/PFA Model L range of rotameters (photo) are constructed of rigid frames and inert wetted parts. Made of perfluoroalkoxy alkanes (PFA), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE), the meters are resistant to ambient corrosive media. Constructed with…
The TriVAX product family (photo) provides confidence through traceable, proven, transparent safety functions. Along with the company’s smart Partial Stroke Test (sPST) integrated into the valve actuator, these functions include a hydraulic-circuit safety system with high-quality components, as well as…
The Q-Rohr family of indoor flameless-venting products (photo) has recently been approved for use with metal dusts. Q-Rohr systems can also be used with other types of dusts, gases and hybrid mixtures. These indoor systems eliminate the need for relocating…
Follow this guidance to carry out independent project reviews of research projects that are both valuable and effective — and pain free Independent project reviews (IPRs) are a common tool used to control, review and validate a project before…
Improvements provide finer grinding at lower energy costs compared to air-swept classifying mills that have long reigned supreme in particle-size-reduction efforts For decades, the ultimate performance in fine mechanical milling performance has been provided by the air-swept classifying mill (ASCM).…
