Chemical metering pumps provide mounting options

The PHP-600 series pumps can be easily mounted anywhere in your plant. The front has horizontal mounting via a broad flat base and mounting holes for tank, shelf or floor mounting. The rear has mounting holes to facilitate vertical mounting. The pump valve assembly and unit control is located in the front of the pump so there is never a problem with installation or flow adjustments. Because the pumps use a minimum of moving parts, they reduce the likelihood of mechanical failure. The pumps have a seal which offers NEMA 4 (IP65) protection against splashes and spills. Each CE-compliant pump comes with discharge and suction valves installed, polyethylene tubing and an operator's manual.

Pellet screener keeps longs flat

These Plastic Pellet Screeners use a horizontal, gyratory/reciprocating motion, and a dual velocity drive with a positive displacement stroke, to achieve removal of oversize and longs. The long stroke, gyratory motion spreads pellets evenly across the full width of the unit. The motion then stratifies the material for efficient removal of fines and separation of oversize from the on-spec pellets. Good pellets are not removed with the oversize. The motion contains no vertical component, so long pellets, “toothpicks” and “jackstraws” remain flat on the screen deck.

Batch mixer blends quickly and uniformly

The 700-TH-40-SS sanitary rotary batch mixer gently blends batches of ingredients in parts as small as one per million with 100% uniformity. In less than three minutes, it evacuates 100% of the batch, and can be rapidly sanitized with no tools. The unit is designed with a retractable inlet for rapid, thorough washdown, a stationary discharge, and a rotating drum with proprietary mixing flights that tumble, turn and fold material gently, imparting minimal energy to the batch, regardless of disparities in the bulk densities, particle sizes or flow characteristics of batch ingredients. The mixer has a useable batch capacity of 40 ft3(1.132 m3), total capacity of 80 ft3 (2.27 m3) and weight capacity of 4,000 lbs (1,814 kg), and is said to be equally effective in blending of batches from 100 down to 5% of rated capacity.

Flow meter handles tough services

The Sultan Flow open-channel flow meter is said to provide accurate real-time measurement for difficult applications. Featuring continuous 4-20mA output, alarm relays, failsafe relays and serial data via RS-485 with Modbus, the flow meter measures head, flow rate and flow volume and rate totalization. It offers an easy menu-driven configuration for standard weir and flume shapes. Available in two-wire loop powered, three-wire DC or four-wire AC/DC, the flow meter can handle a variety of applications, including open channel flow, special requirements for unusual flow channels, water treatment, sewage treatment, irrigation, industrial waste and power waste.

Screen changer can manage up to four screens simultaneously

This screen changer can speed screen changes on sieves, screeners and separators while reducing the risk of operator injury and mesh damage. It enables mesh screens to be changed quickly, safely and easily by a single operator without manual lifting or additional tools. This improves plant productivity while reducing downtime and labor costs at every screen change, inspection or cleaning. This highly flexible unit can be used with most round separators from 48-in. to 60-in. diameter from almost any manufacturer. As it lifts up to four sieve, screener or separator decks at once, with or without deblinding devices, it allows even the bottom screen to be changed without disassembling the decks above it.

Valve simplifies sterile powder transfer

The aseptic ChargePoint high-containment split butterfly valve enables powder transfer without risk of product contamination or operator exposurec. The valve allows products to be transferred in a sterile manner, by creating an intermediate chamber, which can be sterilized before each product transfer. This in situ sterilization capability ensures sterility of the split valve parts when fully docked. The intermediate docking position allows cleaning and irrigation of the intermediate zone with HEPA filtered nitrogen or air to achieve Grade A/Class 100 environment prior to sterilization with hydrogen peroxide vapor. This cleaning and sterilization cycle enables aseptic product transfers and connections. The combination of decontamination and sterilization results in prevention of endotoxins and minimization of bioburden.
