These wet-mixing mills employ new technology for precise particle size and biomass size reduction that can transform a pulpy slurry into a smooth liquid with a homogeneous viscosity. They are suitable for inline processing, and employ an abrasion-resistant milling head with a standard rotor and stator that can be customized to meet a user’s needs. The mills are capable of handling 10–10,000 gal/h throughput.

This brochure highlights a complete line of inline high-shear mixers for both sanitary and industrial applications. It provides information on the pipeline mixer’s reliability, performance capabilities and cost benefits, along with option materials of construction. Also included is a throughput chart for quick reference.

A customized spent-chemical pH-neutralization system for handling corrosive waste streams at a petrochemical plant in China is described in Technical Bulletin TL-173. The brochure explains the reasons for specifying thermoplastics for the treatment tank (polypropylene), pumps (polypropylene), and pipes and fittings (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, CPVC) in this packaged system, rather than the stainless steels and exotic alloys originally considered.

This storage and dispensing system provides an easier, safer, cleaner alternative to 55-gal drums, while taking up less floor space. It is suitable for handling lubricants, cutting oils, hydraulic fluids and engine oils. The new polyethylene containers are ideal for storing caustic materials that cannot be placed in a traditional steel container, including herbicides, degreasers, water-based products, and water-treatment chemicals.

The ProCam Hygienic metering pump meets the European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group’s (EHEDG) standards and is suitable for use in hygienic and aseptic applications. Wetted parts are made of electrically polished Type 316L stainless steel with a high-quality surface finish of  Ra 0.4 to Ra 0.8. The PTFE double membranes and seals are FDA-certified. The unit’s front cover and valves are designed so they can be easily and completely cleaned.

PAGE-flex SBF is an advanced design of Smoothbore PFA hose that utilizes a bonded, wire-braided, silicone-textile braided composite of Smoothbore polyfluoro alkyl (PFA) resin.  giving this product  superior flexibility (half the minimum  bed radius of other smoothbore products), as well as superior  kink and vacuum resistance.  Operating temperatures range from  –65°F to +325°F. The outer surface temperature of the tubes  is cooler than what is seen  competing systems offer, This   reduces the potential for operator burns and environmental heat in confined spaces.

Medium-pressure tubing and adapter fittings are available in a variety of styles to provide a leak-tight gas seal and vibration resistance in applications up to 15,000 psig (1,034 bar). Available in 1/4-, 3/8-, and 1/2-in. sizes, these Type 316 stainless steel fittings can be installed without any special tools. Fitting the assembly requires only a single turn or torque, and can be manual or automated; preassembled disposable cartridges ensure correct ferrule orientation.

 Pipes in 40-ft sections are especially useful for transfer lines and other long, straight runs. They come in swaged polytetrafluoroethylene- (PTFE), polypropylene- (PP) and polyvinylidene fluoride- (PVDF) lined pipe in 1.5- to 6-in. sizes, and in perfluoroalkoxy- (PFA)lined pipe in 1.5- to 2-in. sizes. Plastic-lined pipe that is loose-lined or reverse-swaged — where the liner is compressed then inserted into a steel shell, where it expands —has  been limited in length to 20 ft.

 Clear-40 is the brandname of a rigid PVC pipe made to Schedule 40 dimensions that allows users to see the contents.  The pipe combines the corrosion and chemical resistance, and clarity of PVC with the advantage of a rigid tube that does not need ties or clamps to hold it upright or level. Clear-40 may be used interchangeably with Schedule 40 fittings of gray or white color. All ingredients are non-toxic and conform to FDA standards for use with food-contact surfaces. Stocked sizes range from 1/4 to 4 in. Custom options include bell-shaped ends and Schedule 80 dimensions.

The Sentry QCIII quick-connect system uses Flaretek sealing technology on the chemical dispensing port, thereby eliminating the need for O-rings and associated maintenance. Liquid recirculation and dispensing is acheived through the same connection, significantly reducing cost of ownership. SentryQCIII is said to increase the flowrate by 150% compared to the maker’s existing quick connect systems.
