SentryScan uses microwaves to detect most breaks, holes or tears in a separator’s wire-mesh screens. The device emits a low-power microwave signal that is blocked by woven metal screen mesh. When a break in the screen occurs, the receiving module detects a signal change and triggers an alert, which the operator can choose to receive as a warning light, audible alarm, or remote signal sent to a central process control system.
The Beltweigh/S Combo Checkweigher combines the new S Series controller and a Safeline metal detector. The Beltweigh/S operates at speeds up to 350 ft/min to handle up to 500 containers per minute, while consistently maintaining accuracies of ±150 mg at 2 sigma. The Safeline metal detector provides integrated protection against all types of metal contamination. A touch-screen operator control features user prompts, intuitive menu systems, graphical data displays and visual interpretations of machine performance that simplify use and improve machine integrity.
The BFC Series weighing/batching system features bag activators that raise and lower the opposite bottom edges of a bag at timed intervals, loosening compacted materials and promoting material flow. Each discharger is equipped with a surge hopper that discharges into an enclosed flexible screw conveyor. A controller starts and stops the conveyors to weigh ingredients in sequence, first at a high feed rate for rapid filling, then at a dribble, stopping flow when the desired weight has been discharged.
Designed for optimizing and scaling-up tableting and granulation processes, this software tool is now available as a 30-day trial version that can be downloaded at www.mcc-online.com. The tool includes tableting and granulation end-point calculators, comprehensive help, and references. Among the many features of the tableting calculator, it can evaluate at what speed different production presses can offer the minimum satisfactory consolidation time, and what tablet output can be expected from different presses at that optimal speed.
Illustrating the breadth and depth of the use of computer modeling in every area of science, research, engineering, and education, the COMSOL Conference CD 2006 contains a wealth of information. The CD contains the full proceedings from an international series of 15 technical meetings, along with presentation slides and even ready-to-run model files that were discussed. To make it easy for readers to find the information they need, the CD contains a search facility plus an author index.
The latest release of the AMS Suite: Machinery Health Manager, AMS Machinery Manager Version 5.4 helps plant personnel to effectively identify and resolve vibration-related machinery problems through predictive diagnostics for many types of mechanical assets. The company’s CSI 9420 Wireless Vibration Transmitters provide accurate vibration monitoring (in terms of spectrum, waveform and trend vibration data) of motors, fans, pumps and other mechanical assets.
The Watson laboratory information management system (LIMS) is the subject of this datasheet aimed at scientists in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations (CROs). The bulletin provides an overview of the data processing capabilities of the LIMS, describes the system’s benefits, and discusses the challenges facing pharmaceutical firms and CROs to decrease costs while optimizing efficiency.

Papers by users of multiphysics modeling that were presented at a series of international conferences are available on this CD. It contains 229 reviewed papers in PDF format, as well as many of the speakers’ presentation slides and ready-to-run model files that were discussed.
Sentinel filter bags meet the requirements of liquid filtration applications that have a zero tolerance for filtration bypass. Manufactured using a unique fabric-welding technology, as opposed to sewing, these filters have no needle holes that allow unwanted particulate matter to bypass the filter bag. This process also enables the manufacturer to shape the bags to conform to the internal shape of the filter basket, preventing bag failure. The bags come standard with a patented plastic ring that makes a secure, bypass free seal between the filter bag and the filter housing.
