Expanded range of screens for round vibratory separators

This company recently incorporated a new process for full epoxy mounting of round screens for vibratory separators (photo), which leads to faster fabrication times. The use of advanced epoxy materials allows users to switch mount types, resulting in a longer…

Remove O2 from water with this two-step vacuum process

The new High Vacuum Water Deaeration (V2WD) de-aerates water down to a residual oxygen concentration below 10 parts per billion (ppb) without the use of a stripping gas. Optionally, the water can be cooled down, filtered or sterilized with ultraviolet…

Upgraded HMIs boast brighter screens, better resolution

The recently upgraded HG2G-V5 5.7-in., HG3G-V8 8.4-in., HG3G-VA 10.4-in. and HG4G-VC 12.1-in. human-machine interface (HMI) touchscreen models (photo) are direct replacements for previous models, offering a seamless upgrade path and fitting into the exact same panel cutouts. All HMI programming…

New family of high-capacityelectronic expansion valves

The VHC-MSEV family of modular silicon expansion valves (photo) provides cooling capacities ranging from 25 to 50 tons. The electronically controlled, normally closed and one-directional flow valves can be used for refrigerant mass-flow control in industry-standard HVAC and refrigeration systems.…

An enhanced level transmitter for interface applications

This company has enhanced its Rosemount 5300 Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter (photo) to optimize separation process performance and prevent costly product ingress by accurately measuring a thinner top liquid layer in interface applications. The Rosemount 5300 can now also…

New single-stage gear units with high thrust-load capacity

This company has added three single-stage gear units to its Nordbloc 1 product line (photo). The new SK 871.1, SK 971.1 and SK 1071.1 are said to provide industry-leading thrust-load capacity per case size. The new products have a power…

This magnetic separator protects valves from damage

This company has launched its first DMN Magnetic Separator demonstration unit (photo). The new range is designed to remove sub-micron metal contamination (including particles of 304 and 316 stainless steel) from dry, free-flowing products, such as sugar, grain, flour and…
