With the Kwik Mold service, processors can purchase up to 100 molded parts for shipment within two to three weeks. Molded parts can be designed to handle a range of industry fluids, temperatures, surface speeds and pressures in standard, metric or custom sizes. Materials of construction include synthetic and natural rubber, fluorosilicon, silicon, polyurethane, nitrile and fluoropolymers such as Viton.

The 2 × 6 SuperPhobic radial-flow membrane contactor is an all-polyolefin degassing device that is resistant to many aggressive ink and coating solutions and various solvents. It is small and compact and provides inline degassing and debubbling of low-surface-tension solutions. The contactor uses a radial flow path through the contactor to maximize the surface area and optimize degassing efficiency. Hollow-fiber membrane is knit into a fabric array and wound around a central distribution tube. Liquid flows through the distribution tube, which is parallel to the hollow-fiber membrane.

Ideal for batching and dosing electrically conductive liquids and pastes in the pharmaceutical industry, the BATCHCONTROL electromagnetic flowmeter features an integrated control module and CAN open-based network communication. The 3A-certified unit and its pulse-output equivalent, BATCHFLUX, have a compact design that is ideal for tight space requirements. These flowmeters include a unique ceramic liner to meet the demands of CIP and SIP processes. In addition, the ceramic liner ensures dimensional stability across the entire operational temperature range.

The Fisher Type SR5 sanitary pressure regulators and Type SR8 sanitary back-pressure regulators have expanded to include 2–in. and 3-in. models. In addition to the size expansion, a new PEEK soft seat material has been added. The new material provides ANSI Class VI shutoff in higher-temperature applications (up to 400ºF) and is FDA approved. USP Class VI grades are also available. Furthermore, a 75–125-psig spring size has been added to the SR8 line for 1/2-in. to 1-1/2-in. regulators, raising the maximum setpoint for these products from 100 to 125 psig.

Flowserve is set to display new products designed to shorten the mean time between failure, lower total cost of ownership and meet or exceed worldwide safety and regulatory standards. The new Flowserve QBQ LZ mechanical pump seal is one of the advanced solutions on display. It features the company’s unique Precision Face Topography, patented wavy face design that dramatically reduces fugitive emissions in light hydrocarbon service. Also showcased is the GCX seal, which is designed to perform in variable chemical batch processing.

The Hyper-Flow Porostar sintered mesh laminate is a new filtration media offering up to 50% increased permeability vs. traditional mesh laminates. As a result, pressure differentials are significantly reduced. Durable and rigid, the Hyper-Flow Porostar can be custom fabricated for applications requiring micron ratings of 40 and larger. The stainless steel construction provides extended filtration media life, with simple cleanup.

The Panther PD blower is a rotary-lobe, positive-displacement blower that is designed for either pressure or vacuum applications. Vacuum or pressure is produced by two non-contacting rotors in an oil-free pumping chamber, creating a clean, efficient and wear-free environment. The Panther blower features a tri-lobe design that increases efficiency and decreases sound levels. Heavy-duty construction and oil-lubricated bearings on both the gear end and drive end of the blower ensure reliable operation.

The DuraPES filtration membrane has a higher loading capacity than other commercially available membranes. The DuraPES membrane has a unique patent-pending pore structure and dual asymmetric membrane-wall that provides a protected separation layer. This layer has demonstrated its effectiveness in many applications with excellent retention characteristics.

Magnetic-Drive Pump Can Run Dry. Capable of handling temperatures to 302°F, the MDM magnetic-drive line of chemical process pumps provides patented, repeatable dry-run technology up to 25 hp. The pumps feature a compact close-coupled design with modular construction and individually replaceable parts, allowing simple maintenance and lower cost of ownership.

The MW Type multiposition valves offer numerous flow configurations, port and fitting sizes, and actuation options. The preload design allows the rotor to be inspected or replaced without removing the valve from the actuator. If the valve is used with the firm’s complementary VICI microelectric actuator, alignment is always automatic. The valves are available with 4 –16 positions in five configurations ranging from simple stream selection to more complicated trapping functions. Standard valve-body material is stainless steel; optional materials include Hastelloy C-22 or Nitronic 50.
