V-Slam

March 5, 2012

The V-Slam is designed for size reduction of minerals, ores and chemicals. It is available to process up to 2-in. feed for particle size reduction down to 6–8 mesh. Its key benefits include: speeds of up to 12,500 ft/min; 5–100 ton/h capacity range; indexing feed tube and anvil ring; automatic recirculating lubrication system; and portable or stationary impact crusher.

7200 series Mini Bear Pad load cell

March 5, 2012

The 7200 series Mini Bear Pad load cell is a low-profile, mounted solution for vessels or conveyors, process control, batching and all industrial weighing applications, including clean applications such as food and pharmaceuticals. The load cell comes with a base plate (standard) and attaches directly to the vessel or conveyor via either a single 1/2-in. or 5/8-in. screw mounting kit with grommets and locking washers or an optional top mounting plate. With this new technology, common placement problems associated with top pins, links, fix or floating mounts are eliminated.

EC-201 robotic palletizer

March 5, 2012

The EC-201 robotic palletizer has a payload capacity of 440 lb and a palletizing capacity of 1,600 cycles/h. The unit palletizes bags, cases, pails and other various products. It also has four axes for maximum flexibility. The weight of the mechanically balanced arm can be supported by a single finger. This unique design allows the EC-201 to use less energy and reduce stress on the arm joints, bearings, pivot points and floor supports.

IC33 series of vacuum conveyors

March 5, 2012

The IC33 series of vacuum conveyors is based on a newly patented pump technology that uses less energy compared to competing compressed-air-driven conveyors. The compact design of the conveyor makes it possible for the user to secure floor space that otherwise would have been occupied if using more space-demanding belt or screw conveyors. As the material is conveyed in pipes or hoses, this solution is also more flexible, according to the manufacturer.

BSP-135 and BSP-150P Bulk Solids Pump Feeders

March 5, 2012

The BSP-135 and BSP-150P are the latest addition to the Bulk Solids Pump feeder line. These units are specifically engineered to provide gentle, precise feeding of free-flowing pellets, granules, flakes, powders and friable products utilizing a patented principle called positive-displacement feeding. The BSP-135 features three feeding ducts and will replace the BSP-125, which had two ducts, extending the feed rate range to 155 ft3/h.

Quadro Vac

March 5, 2012

The Quadro Vac reduces dust contamination when employed in a tablet manufacturing suite. It is a user-friendly, high-end, sanitary pneumatic conveyor that is used in both pharmaceutical and food plants. The Quadro Vac’s sanitary construction makes it easy to clean and its modular design can be quickly dismantled/re-assembled. The unit is constructed of stainless steel with a rugged mechanism for maximum reliability and minimum maintenance.

PharmaKeep oxygen absorbing canisters and AromaCan scented canisters

March 5, 2012

The PharmaKeep oxygen absorbing canisters and Aroma-Can scented canisters are specifically designed for use in pharmaceutical and nutritional applications. Jointly developed with Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Co. (MGC), PharmaKeep is the first canister able to absorb moisture in low relative humidity package environments. The Aroma-Can employs patent-pending Encapsulated Aroma Release Technology, and trademarked CompelAroma from ScentSational Technologies.

MT12 micro-ingredient feeder

March 5, 2012

Available in both pharmaceutical and industrial models, the MT12 micro-ingredient feeder accurately feeds free-flowing to difficult-to-handle powders at rates as low as 20 g/h and as high as 2,000 g/h, depending on the material and installation environment. Both loss-in-weight (model KCL-SFS-MT12) and volumetric (model KCV-MT12) feeder models are available for continuous or batch operation.

ProSimPlus software

March 5, 2012

ProSimPlus software is used in the design and operation of existing plants for process optimization and front-end engineering analysis. Its unique thermodynamic module, Simulis Thermodynamics, and its comprehensive unit operations library enable users to create models for a wide variety of processes. The software’s latest version has an easy-to-use and easy-to-learn graphical interface. ProSimPlus is used in many industries, such as chemicals, petrochemicals, petroleum refining, gas treatment, pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, and energy.

OEM Edge software

March 5, 2012

OEM Edge software is designed to help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) fuel machine growth and maximize profits. Two solution categories are specifically designed to address these goals: The first, InsideEdge Solutions, uses cutting-edge technology, applications and solutions to help OEMs improve their internal productivity and efficiency, while EdgeEnabled Solutions provide them with differentiating technology solutions that, in turn, help their customers distinguish themselves from the competition.
