Thermalate and Heatmeiser mold and platen insulation products are made from sheets of specially formulated fiberglass-reinforced thermoset polyester composites. Designed to operate at temperatures up to 550°F, the insulation has high compressive strength that prevents mold alignment problems at extremely high molding pressures. It is tough and more durable than mica or asbestos, will not easily crack or break during mold setup or teardown, and requires no maintenance.

When developing a new method, one of the chromatographer’s key goals is to achieve a consistent, reproducible separation, and selecting a highly reproducible high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) column is essential to attaining this goal. The Syncronis HPLC column has been engineered to deliver consistent, predictable separations, from one run to the next and from one column to another. It features high-purity, high-surface-area silica, dense bonding, and double endcapping.

The Model T11 Bulk Bag Super Discharger (BBD) is designed for critical applications in industries where hygiene and rapid dismantling of components without tools are essential to avoid microbiological growth or cross-contamination between batches. The discharger is manufactured entirely of stainless steel with a bead-blast or mirror-polish finish. It can be completely stripped down in minutes by two employees. Since it has no dead pockets, the BBD is easy to pressure wash, steam clean, manually clean, and/or sterilize.

The VersaMix multishaft mixer processes viscous formulations using three independently driven agitators working in tandem. The high-speed disperser quickly draws powders into the liquid batch through a powerful vortex. The rotor/stator performs numerous tasks depending on the product being mixed, e.g., breaking down agglomerates, accelerating homogenization, or preparing fine droplets in an emulsion. The low-speed anchor promotes bulk flow and uniform batch temperature while it scrapes the vessel sidewalls and bottom.

Using compressed air at low feed pressure, the piCOMPACT10 manifold-mounted vacuum ejectors are suitable for pick-and-place operations where efficient handling of small, heavy parts is crucial, such as in electronics, semiconductor, and medical applications using plastics or metal. The firm’s MICRO COAX technology provides three times more vacuum flow than similar products, reducing energy consumption by 30–50% compared with traditional ejectors. The increased vacuum flow strengthens product grip, which increases pickup speed, minimizes product damage, and reduces waste.

The XP100 line of motors is designed for the hazardous operating conditions found in the petrochemical and chemical processing, mining, and grain handling industries. These explosionproof motors have UL and CSA certification for gas and dust environments. They are available with ratings of 1–300 hp, and can be modified to meet specific customer needs. The motors have an all-cast-iron construction for high structural strength, and a stator insulation system that can withstand voltage spikes.

The effectiveness of conventional inline pH sensors is often reduced or completely lost if the probe tip dries out during job changes. The Norcross In-Line pH Sensor has a patented integral reservoir that traps fluid to keep the probe tip wet and prolong probe life. Installed directly in a fluid line, the sensor monitors water-based inks, foods, pharmaceuticals, and other solutions for which pH must be controlled. The sensor’s transmitter converts its mV signal to 4–20 mA for transmission to a controller.

The Model 682A16 Universal Transmitter enables 24/7 vibration monitoring of process machinery, including pumps, motors, fans, and other essential rotating equipment, providing critical information that can help operators avoid costly downtime and increase productivity and profitability. This transmitter works with the firm’s 4–20-mA sensors and accelerometers, and can be used with existing programmable logic controllers (PLCs), distributed control systems (DCSs), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.

This ?rm’s Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyzers provide accurate measurement of gases, including greenhouse gases (GHGs). Multi-component measurement capability allows up to 50 gases to be measured simultaneously with a single device. Water-soluble inorganic gases (e.g., HCl, HF, NH3) can be measured and results can be displayed in dry or wet gas units. Nitrogen or air can be used to perform zero calibration. The DX-series portable FTIR gas analyzers combine ?eld ruggedness and reliability and provide direct, real-time data measurement results onsite.

Bio-AIRVENT is an automatically controlled, modular, vapor-phase bio-oxidation system for the capture and breakdown of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into carbon dioxide and water vapor. It can be sized to accommodate most compounds and virtually any required process air?ow. The Bio-sumpVENT is a light-weight, modular bio-oxidation system designed to meet the demands for odor control at lift stations, sewer vents, and other small contained processes. The system can handle H2S and other odor compounds (mercaptans) in air?ows up to 200 ft3/min.
