Teflex Series absolute PTFE membrane filter cartridges

March 5, 2012

Teflex Series absolute PTFE membrane filter cartridges provide full particle retention. Their endcaps have center cores and outer support cages constructed of polypropylene for increased durability. These cartridges can be used as filters in electronics, food and beverages, high-purity chemicals, and general-purpose†filtration applications. They are rated to withstand temperatures up to 176°F (80°C), as well as a maximum differential pressure of 50 psid (forward) or 40 psid (reverse). They can be sterilized or autoclaved, and are available in 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-in.

Balston filters

March 5, 2012

Balston filters can take 99.99% of oil, water, rust and pipescale particles of at least 0.01 µm out of compressed air and other gases. They are constructed of Type 304 stainless steel, which enables them to withstand very harsh environments, such as those in food and beverage, chemicals, refinery, and pulp and paper facilities. They are available in 0.25–1.0-in. line sizes with flow capacities to over 700 std. ft3/min, and are available with automatic drains and a high-efficiency filter cartridge installed.

Chromatography Resource Center

March 5, 2012

The web-based Chromatography Resource Center focuses on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) consumables and their use in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, environmental, chemical, and food and beverage industries. It features a virtual library that offers technical guidelines, application notes and recent scientific posters. One value-added benefit is a compendium listing more than 400 applications categorized by industry.

Specialty Filters

March 5, 2012

These specialty filters handle a wide range of liquid process applications in many industries. LOFMEM Series membrane cartridges are absolute-rated filters that provide precise, repeatable, sub-micron filtration. LOFPLEAT Series cartridges have a pleated configuration that provides higher surface area than depth filters for improved dirt-holding capacity and a longer onstream life. LOFTREX Series depth filtration cartridges are cylindrical filters with a circuitous path that captures a wide range of particle sizes and gelatinous contaminants

Fractional Distillation Systems

March 5, 2012

Suitable for batch or continuous high purity processing, these stainless steel fractional distillation systems can be applied to many industries, such as foods, flavors, fragrances, pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemicals. Available with 1– 24-in.-sized columns and throughputs from 1 kg/hr to 1,000 kg/hr, the systems are ideally sized for small to mid-sized production or pilot-plant service. The equipment is flexible enough to allow users to construct and modify their own units.

Separation Products - CD-ROM

March 5, 2012

This comprehensive CD-ROM provides a wealth of information and technical data about a variety of separation products. It covers mist eliminator theory and proper installation procedures for designs ranging from high-efficiency, double-pocket vane to submicron candle mist-eliminators. For liquid/liquid separations, coalescers and common applications in which they are especially effective are discussed.

Series TRVDT three-port, in-line relief valve

March 5, 2012

The Series TRVDT three-port, in-line relief valve is ideal for systems requiring minimal footprint or where the use of a piping tee is not practical. It has an economical, heavy-duty design that allows for easy replacement in existing systems. When closed, the valve has a straight-through flow pattern. The pressure setpoint is adjustable between 50 and 100 psi, and the maximum inlet pressure is 150 psi. Once the set pressure is reached, the diaphragm is lifted off the center port, and the excess liquid flows out through the third port at the bottom of the valve.

Air Filter Systems and Equipment Catalog

March 5, 2012

Three primary application areas are the subject of this 32-page catalog of the company’s air filter systems, equipment and capabilities. Comfort air product lines include HVAC particulate filters and hardware, as well as Camsorb carbon panels, cylinders and multi-stage adsorption systems. Clean process (cleanroom) products include HEPA and ULPA filters and frames, terminal filters, ceiling modules and replacement filters. Safety and protection products include bag-in/bag-out housings, HEGA filters, isolation dampers, bags and accessories for the containment of hazardous contaminants.

High-Solids Pumps

March 5, 2012

These high-solids pumps dramatically reduce the costs of transferring biomass slurries and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) byproducts compared to conveyor systems, which tend to be more expensive and maintenance-prone. Based on a technology advancement suitable for biodiesel and ethanol plants, as well as distilleries, grain processing, and feed mills, they easily handle abrasive and corrosive DDGS applications.

Triplex Series high-pressure pumps

March 5, 2012

Triplex Series high-pressure pumps perform in spraying, misting, filtration, cooling, dispensing and pressure-boosting applications. These self-priming, three-chamber pumps operate at flowrates of up to 1.4 gal/min (5.3 L/min) and at operating pressures of up to 150 psi (10.3 bar). They are built using co-injection molding technology, which eliminates potential leak paths and allows the units to run dry for long periods without damage.
