The Dynapump LE Series of sealless, canned motor pumps combines state-of-the-art design with global manufacturing efficiencies to provide reliability, secondary containment, and bearing-wear monitoring in an ANSI B73.3- compliant, plug-and-play sealless pump. These standard features make maintenance less frequent and more predictive. The pump’s sealless centrifugal motor enables plants to exceed industry standards for environmental, personnel and facility safety.

The Type HX high-temperature non-seal canned motor pump is designed for hot fluids (maximum 662ºF, 350ºC) without cooling. The pump uses an exclusive all-ceramic motor insulation system and can be externally insulated for maximum system thermal efficiency, making it ideal for heat-transfer oil services. Optional jacketing in conjunction with the ceramic motor insulation system makes the HX well suited for handling high-melting-point liquids (above 284ºF, 40ºC), which would exceed the temperature limits of normal organic motor insulation materials.

The compact, fully automated Flexicon FPC50 filling and plugging system performs aseptic filling and capping for clinical trials as well as for scale-up to medium-sized batch production. It can accommodate a wide range of vial sizes and neck finishes without requiring extra parts. It can adapt to multiple batch processes and different product-fill volumes with a change of the single-use fluid path, which is comprised of pharmaceutical-grade silicone tubing and plastic filling needles.

These fluid-bed dryers and coolers have a simple transport design and a first-in/first-out drive system that make them an energy-efficient solution for applications in the food, chemical, dairy, pharmaceutical and aggregate products industries. This equipment offers true product plug flow, accurate product residence-time adjustments, and lower air requirements, making it especially useful for smaller ancillary equipment.

Equipped with an anchor and a high-speed disperser, the CDA Dual-Shaft mixers cater to products with viscosities up to several hundred thousand centipoise. Each agitator is independently driven by an explosion-proof motor to enable its use for variable-speed operation. Stocked units are available in 2-, 10-, 50- and 100-gal sizes (change-can models are available in 2 to 1,000 gal) and include Type 304 stainless steel wetted parts, vacuum construction, and air-oil hydraulic lifts to raise and lower the agitators.

Developed specifically for the demanding requirements of pharmaceutical skincare and cosmetics manufacturing, the RoTwin vacuum processor produces ultra-stable emulsions across a wide range of viscosities, with good absorption properties and a glossy, transparent appearance. It incorporates a homogenizer that can be set to operate in counter- or co-rotating mode, allowing accurate control of shear force and dwell time. This results in consistent, narrow particle-size distributions of roughly 0.1 µm. The peripheral speed of the homogenizer is about 83 m/s.

This firm’s services include standard ASTM G-32, G-73, and G-134 testing, as well as customized testing for cavitation and liquid-impact erosion using ultrasonic, water jet and whirling disk devices. Cavitation erosion can be assessed at pressures from ambient to 2,800 psi. Evaluations can be made in different liquids and at different controlled temperatures. Using a split Hopkinson pressure bar, material properties at high rates of strain (~3,000/s) can be measured.

Hydra-Clean air-operated pressure washers are suitable for use in high-pressure, heavy-duty applications on oil rigs, tank farms, chemical plants, food processing and industrial facilities, among others. Packages are available in 12:1, 23:1 and 30:1 ratio units with maximum fluid pressures of 1,250 psi, 2,275 psi, and 3,065 psi, respectively, and flowrates ranging from 6.8 to 9.2 gal/min. These washers can be used with cold or hot water in temperatures up to 200ºF, as well as detergent and chemical solutions.

The PlusT Clean and Repair program allows companies to extend the life of broken reusable bulk containers that would otherwise be relegated to the scrap yard or stored on valuable floor space. By putting broken units back to work, customers save on the cost of purchasing new containers. The program is simple and cost-effective. Containers are inspected and sorted based on whether they can or cannot be repaired. Close attention is paid to structural integrity and other safety factors that may render a container unsafe or not repairable.

Yokogawa has released a new upgrade to its Advanced Alarm Administrator (AAASuite, Version R1.20). AAASuite is a comprehensive alarm-management system that improves operator performance by minimizing nuisance alarms and providing timely notification of only necessary alarms, thereby preventing alarm flooding and enabling safe, stable and cost-effective plant operations. Version R1.20 includes an optional static alarm suppression function that facilitates equipment-based simultaneous suppression of alarms at start-up, shutdown, or upset of a plant.
