DeBEE 2000 Pilot Plant High Pressure Homogenizer

March 5, 2012

The DeBEE 2000 Pilot Plant High Pressure Homogenizer provides unprecedented one-pass results with adjustable pressures up to 45,000 psi at flowrates to 1 L/min. Synchronized highpressure cylinders deliver a constant pressure for consistent processing to homogenize to the highest efficiencies. The heart of the machine is the patented modular homogenizing cell, which can be configured to deliver unmatched performance for diverse applications as nanometer size reduction, emulsions, viscous slurries, dispersions, suspensions, high-yield cell rupture, wet grinding and more.

Filling System Cuts Costs and Improves Safety

March 5, 2012

The new closed vial and filling line from this firm are attractive alternatives to current aseptic filling technologies. The vial is gamma sterilized and provided ready-to-fill with the stopper secured in place. The filling is performed by a special needle piercing the stopper. The stopper is immediately heat-resealed by a laser. The benefits of the technology include improved sterility assurance to the patient, reduced investments and operating costs, and increased safety throughout the supply chain.

Orbital Welding Power Supply

March 5, 2012

The.easy-to-use Model 307 orbitalwelding power supply is compatible with all new and existing AMI fusionweld heads, as well as some heads featuring wire feed. All new Windows-based software includes automatic weld and tack weld program development, programming by time or position, multiple weld schedule libraries and weld I.D. number recording with an available weld I.D. label printer. On-screen help, elaborate data acquisition and a graphical user interface further enhance the capability of this state-of-the-art power supply.

Molded Silicone Components Offer Utmost Purity

March 5, 2012

These molded silicone components consist of stoppers and sealing systems for carboys and vessels, bottles, laboratory equipment, and process and storage containers. Autoclavable, sterilizable and reusable, they are made from Class VI, platinum- cured silicone elastomer for the utmost in purity. The components also feature smooth, gap-free surfaces for a true seal, no taste or odor transfer, and excellent chemical resistance properties. They are biologically safe and work with receptacles of glass, metal or plastic.

Achieve Precision Size Reduction with these Feeders

March 5, 2012

These volumetric and gravimetric feeders routinely meter dry pharmaceutical powders into jet mills used to do fine grinding. By accurately and consistently charging the jet mill, the milling process, and particle size uniformity are optimized. Feed rates for the various models range from 5 g/min up to 1,137 ft3/h. The feeders can also be used in pharmaceutical applications for tablet coating, tablet counter loading, and bulk ingredient batching and packaging.

MagTecta double-cartridge mechanical-seal bearing isolator

March 5, 2012

Designed to extend the life of rotating equipment, the MagTecta is a double-cartridge mechanical-seal bearing isolator meant to replace lip seals or labyrinth bushes. With no rubbing elastomeric parts, shaft wear or bearing moisture contamination, this bearing isolator uses modern mechanicalseal technology, including antimony-carbon against tungstencarbide seal faces. The seal is energized by magnets, instead of springs, to minimize space. The MagTecta fits into the same space as a lip seal or labyrinth seal, and provides total, hermetic bearing isolation.

FLENDER DS Coupling

March 5, 2012

The FLENDER DS Coupling offers a dynamic-wear inspection system that provides an effective method to inspect, measure and predict coupling wear. As the internal flexible elements wear due to unavoidable misalignment, shock loads, etc., the amount of torsional offset between the hubs can be measured by monitoring the dynamic wear indicator on the outside of the coupling. The coupling can even be inspected while in operation by monitoring the wear indicator through a clear or mesh guard with a strobe light.

Portable SmartBalancer

March 5, 2012

The portable SmartBalancer identifies unbalance conditions, determines the state of balance and takes corrective action to eliminate the unbalance condition. The batterypowered unit features an optimization program that enables unbalance vibrations to be recorded at up to four sensor positions and reduced to a minimum by balancing in one or two planes. To see if the machine needs field balancing, the analyzer performs broadband measurement of absolute bearing vibrations to compare measured values with the specified limits.

Motor-Driven MD 2000 Lubricant Dispenser

March 5, 2012

The refillable, motor-driven MD 2000 lubricant dispenser is capable of operating up to 350 psi, enabling users to lubricate up to eight bearings using a distribution block. The device features single- and multi-point configurations and can be used in: Class I, Div. 2, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II, Div. 2, Groups F, G; and Class III hazardous locations. Three sizes are available — 500 cc, 250 cc and 125 cc.

Mechanical Seal RG-5

March 5, 2012

Specially developed for operation in corrosion-resistant, plastic-lined process pumps, the stationary, mechanical seal RG-5 is primarily used when a secure sealing of solid-containing or crystallizing liquids is required. On the wetted side, the RG-5 is metal-free. Silicon-carbide sealing elements make it resistant against chemicals and wear and tear. Its sealing chamber is permanently flushed thanks to a specifically designed housing back plate with wide open distance around the sealing surface.
