New silicone tubing eliminates particulate shedding
AdvantaSil High Pressure unreinforced silicone tubing (photo) is designed to deliver increased flowrates and reduce processing time. The tubing’s unreinforced characteristic allows for limited pumpability up to 30 psi backpressure and makes it easier to see process fluids. AdvantaSil High…
Isolate steam, condensate and process media with these valves
Last month, this company introduced the PV4 and PV6 piston valves (photo) for isolation purposes. They are available in NPT and SW versions, in sizes from½ to 2 in., in either forged carbon steel or forged stainless steel. These valves…
A new binder for rotogravure paper coatings
Vinnapas EF 3101 is a new vinyl acetate-ethylene-copolymer (VAE) dispersion that has been developed specifically for rotogravure paper coatings. The binder has a high level of compressibility and develops a high degree of smoothness, enabling superior print quality, says the…
This hose pump has been enhanced for water applications
This company’s line of Abaque Series peristaltic (hose) pumps (photo) have recently been redesigned to incorporate a wide variety of design enhancements. These pumps meet challenging requirements in the water and wastewater industry thanks to a seal-free design that eliminates…
Zero-leakage sealing for bulk powder handling
The New-Seal technology (photo) provides zero-leakage sealing of bulk solids for screw conveyors, paddle or ribbon mixers, rotary valves, mixers, blenders and agitators at temperatures up to 300°F. Externally pressurized gas-bearing technology (supplied at 4 bars) maintains seal-gap pressures at…
A clog-resistant tank-cleaning head
The clog-resistant Hydroclaw tank-cleaning head impacts a jet of water on a claw-like plate, which shatters the fluid into a 360-deg pattern, effectively covering the whole tank. Traditional cleaning heads typically have multiple small orifices that form a 360-deg cleaning…
A particle analyzer for nano-scale identification
The new FlowCam Nano particle analyzer features Nano-Flow particle-imaging technology that provides digital images of particles ranging in size from 300 nm to 30µm (photo). The system automatically reveals protein agglomerates, silicon oil droplets, glass shards and other opaque, transparent…
A very compact standalone PLC
The new Micro PLC VIPA Control (photo) is an ultra-compact standalone PLC featuring high channel density. The system has a width of less than 72 mm, making it up to 50% smaller than typical micro controllers, says the manufacturer. Designed…
Test turbine trip systems without disrupting production
This company’s new, patent-pending pneumatic trip system (photo) with partial-stroke actuation provides quick testing of turbine trip systems while the equipment is still running. There is no disruption to production, and the trip valve will still work if an overspeed…
Focus on Feeding and Weighing Bulk Solids
Single unit combines bin discharge and feeding The Gyro Ex Bin Activating Feeder/Discharger (photo) is a combination bin discharger and high-accuracy feeder that provides a turndown ratio of up to 100:1. It uses a radial force to create a uniform…
