This filter handles contaminated polymer melts

The ECO 500 (photo) is a high-performance melt filter for the filtration of heavily contaminated polymer feedstock. For chemical recycling, this technology is suitable for filtering low-viscosity polymers. The filter is self-cleaning, with a rotating, perforated drum, through which there…

This face shield has safety goggles built in

Typically, when workers wear a face shield, they still have safety glasses on underneath. That is because most face shields have gaps on the bottom and sides that can let dangerous materials in. Conversely, Vader Combo (photo) is a face…

Adjust the pH with this CO2 feed system

The new CO2 Feed System (photo) is a safe and effective way to adjust pH and minimize risk associated with dangerous mineral acids. The 0–100% scaled flowmeter has an integral adjustment needle valve for increased accuracy. Additional benefits of the…

Easy-to-operate level-measuring devices

The new generation of Micropilot 80 GHz radar sensors (photo) — FMR60B, FMR62B, FMR63B, FMR66B and FMR67B — are suited for challenges when measuring points that are not easily accessible, located in dusty areas and harsh environments with extreme process…

Multi-agitator mixing systems for specialty applications

This company has engineered a purpose-built VM-450-gallon VersaMix (photo) that features three independently driven agitators, including a two-wing center-mounted agitator with contoured bottom and Teflon scrapers to efficiently motivate viscous product throughout the mixing zone, a long helical flight agitator…
