The K-Tron Premier Modular Cartridge Bin Vent provides excellent air filtration of fine airborne particles from within a storage tank and releases clean air to the atmosphere. While material is pneumatically conveyed into a storage tank, fine particles and air are efficiently separated by the unit’s large cartridge filter. This enables clean air to pass from the tank out to the atmosphere. Reverse jet cleaning from a compressed air accumulator pulses the cartridge filter, dislodging any fines and returning them to the storage tank. Standard materials of construction include carbon steel enamel coating or stainless steel material contact areas. Mounting on a standard 20 in diameter tank deck, the small modular unit is inexpensive and easy to install. The unit’s single cartridge filter is constructed of tough, washable polyester. The cartridge filter hangs vertically and has shallow, open pleats for efficient dust release. Quick-release clamps allow easy access…

K-Tron Process Group introduces the New K-Tron Premier LSR Controller. The LSR Controller consolidates several applications into one system allowing the LSR to control either a K-Tron Premier self contained loader or a single central receiver for pneumatically conveying a wide variety of bulk materials. The controller is locally mounted with all 24 VDC unit devices pre-wired. An auto-switching power supply accepts 115 or 230 VAC. The front panel of the controller includes a potentiometer to set draw times, on/off switch, and multicolored LEDs indicate power/alarm, loading status and dump status. Available materials of construction for the enclosure are polycarbonate and stainless steel. The LSR Controller allows for nine different operating modes selectable with internal rotary switch and 10-position dip switch. The economical controller provides precise, reliable control filling by time or level and various discharge configurations including gravity or powered…

Quickly and efficiently designed custom-tailored solutions for any process – this is one of the services K-Tron Process Group is featuring at K-Show 2010 in Hall 10, booth B73. K-Tron will be showing several stations integrated into one complete system. In a modern production line centered around high-precision feeding equipment, operators are not just looking to reduce the number of vendors involved, but are ultimately searching for cost-effective and easy-to-maintain solutions. K-Tron has been meeting this challenge by bringing together the most experienced product engineers to form a new Systems Engineering group. K-Tron Process Group Systems Engineers are experienced in a wide range of systems designs from small, simple projects to large, complex installations. At K-Tron, systems engineers follow each project from the proposal through to overseeing the design and manufacture to commissioning and start-up. In this way our customers have one contact who is…
