Powder Characterization For Selecting A Material Of Construction
By Tim Freeman, Director Of Operations, Freeman Technology
For powder processors, material of construction or surface finish choice is an important element of design, critical to achieving the fundamental compatibility between powders and process that underpins successful long-term performance. A range of metals and polymers is available to cope with the demands of the powder processing industries, but choosing between them requires a considered cost-benefit analysis.

How Well Do You Know Your Dust?
By Tony Supine, Technical Director, Camfil Farr Air Pollution Control
The collection and testing of dust samples is a long-established practice used by many powder and bulk processors to make informed dust collection decisions. Dust testing protocols have not changed markedly in recent years. The importance of dust testing, however, has changed, and the implications are significant.


Spray Gas Quench Design Considerations
By BETE Fog Nozzle, Inc.
Rapid cooling or quenching of gas streams is used in a number of essential applications in the petrochemical industries. Examples of processes with gas quench systems include reactor outlet, incinerator, coal gasifier, and power plant absorber gas inlet.

Datasheet: Sanitor Tank Washers
The Sanitor tank washer is a uniquely special design that combines a wide operating pressure range from 29 psi (2 bar) to more than 360 psi (25 bar) with efficient water use.

Product Sheet: DrumQuik PRO Dispense System — Chemical Dispensing
Colder's DrumQuik PRO is an easy-to-use product for extracting chemicals from rigid containers. The closed-system design and rugged construction meet strict safety requirements of chemical handling applications as well as the demands of harsh operating environments.

Datasheet: DEA 300/600 Weighbelt Feeders
DEA Weighbelt Feeders are suitable for a variety of applications ranging from pasta to plastic pellets that could be damaged in a traditional screw feeder, abrasive materials that may damage other types of feeders, materials with large particles that may not fit through a screw feeder, free-flowing materials, and applications where headroom is limited.

Brochure: Flow Sentry
The Flow-Sentry is a fully enclosed crushing device designed to reduce oversize lumps as they travel through a pipe or tube. The Flow-Sentry employs a single set of rotating blades to impact and shatter at close clearance any materials too large to pass between the stationary bars of a sizing grid.

Brochure: Tantalum Shell And Tube Heat Exchangers
Steel picklers have traditionally used carbon block heat exchangers to heat their shallow-tank, high-turbulence pickle baths. The multigasketed designs and fragile nature of graphite heat exchangers still require continuous maintenance and repair, which results in expensive downtime and spare parts.

Brochure: Formulations
METTLER TOLEDO FBRM and PVM technologies have been the world leaders for in-process particle characterization for over 20 years. By optimizing performance during the first API crystallization through final dissolution and disintegration testing, FBRM and PVM provide immediate benefits with their sensitive measurement, robust design, and unique ability to monitor particle systems at full process concentration — without the need for sample extraction or dilution.

Brochure: Modular Circular Polarimeter — MCP 200
The MCP 200 series of polarimeters provides accurate measurements of the optical rotation of liquids at an economic price. It utilizes the latest technology to ensure high measuring accuracy with great ease-of-use.

White Paper: Mixing Emulsions Made Easy
An emulsion, made up of an aqueous and an oil phase, is a common type of delivery system used in many different industries. The virtually infinite number of combinations of emulsion systems necessitates the continuing effort to study them and the processes by which they can be prepared efficiently.
