The complete product line of this company's stainless-steel constructed NSF/ANSI 61-certified automatic Flo-Trol valves (photo) are now available. The most recent additions to the Flo-Trol flow-regulator line includes 3/8- through 3-in. models, and standard flow range offerings from 0.19 to…

High-shear mixers for fine dispersions and emulsions

Batch high-shear mixers equipped with the Solids/Liquid Injection Manifold (SLIM) Technology (photo) deliver powders in an efficient manner for quick wet-out and complete dispersion into low-viscosity liquids. In a conventional rotor/stator mixer, materials are continually drawn from below the mixing…

A polymer pelletizer for when capacities are high

The Pearlo 350 EAC underwater pelletizing system (photo) has a liquid-heated die plate for high capacities, delivering throughputs of 18,000 kg/h of virgin polymer. The unique cutting-blade design and optimum water- and material-flow conditions within the cutting chamber provide not…

An efficient cleaning system for mixers

Automatic WIP-Systems (photo) provide a reliable and repeatable process for cleaning mixing systems — such as the Ploughshare Mixers — an important task especially in life-science applications. A smart arrangement of rotating cleaning nozzles inside the mixing drum ensures a…

Controlling Particle Characteristics with Agglomeration

Solids-handling processes and downstream process steps can benefit greatly from carefully controlled particle characteristics. Presented here is guidance on how agitation agglomeration techniques can achieve desired particle properties Throughout the diverse sectors of the chemical process industries (CPI), the ability…

Technology Profile: Production of EPDM Rubber

Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber is a terpolymer elastomer derived from ethylene and propylene, along with small amounts of a non-conjugated diene as a third monomer (Figure 1). With a completely saturated polymer backbone, this random elastomeric copolymer exhibits…
