Infa-Micron cartridge filter MPR in pressure shock resistant design for hybrid mixtures Filter manufacturer Infastaub proves in explosion tests that the pressure shock resistant designed cartridge filter Infa-Micron MPR is also suitable to be run with hybrid mixtures. While processing combustible dusts plant operators need competent partners who offer security in explosion protection. Infastaub as one of the leading manufacturers of dust removal units supplies suitable filters in explosion-protected design. For the filtration of sticky and lung-current, harmful or toxic dusts as well as suspended matters or powders with active substances (API) Infastaub developed the cartridge filter series Infa-Micron type MPR. An extended risk potential is caused by hybrid mixtures that might result from solvent-containing substances in the pharmaceutical industry. It was now proved by explosion tests that the pressure shock resistant cartridge filter Infa-Micron MPR also copes with such extreme explosion conditions and can be operated safely. The filter is

zone collector specifically designed for heavily compacted substances The all-layer drill is a special zone collector specifically designed for heavily compacted substances. Often it is very difficult or impossible with conventional zone collectors to penetrate media of this type and take a sample extending through all layers. By contrast, the drilling blades of the all-layer drill burrow easily and quickly to the required depth without expending any great force. This makes it easy to take samples of media, even those with high density, and every type of highly compacted powders and granulates. The all-layer drill thus allows you to take a representative sample through all the layers, even with greatly compressed media. It is ideal for larger containers, mixed containers, big bags, etc. in the building materials, chemical, pharmaceutical, food and luxury items industries.

Magnetic field of 10,700 Gauss At the “Powtech” Trade Fair in Nuremberg (Hall 1, Stand 339),Goudsmit is introducing a recently developed fast-cleaning clean flow magnet that reaches a magnetic field of 10,700 Gauss on the bars in the product. The magnet system removes iron particles and weak magnetic particles from powdery substances (e.g. milk powder, sugar and flour). With the application of a new generation of Neoflux® magnets, it is also possible to capture weak magnetic particles such as 304 stainless steel. Because the grill of this new type of clean flow magnet can be drawn outwards via a rail, the magnet ensures a smooth operation and full safety (CE mark) for the operators. The casing is made of 304 stainless steel and the entire machine has a smooth finish (Ra≤0.8ų) thus complying with the HACCP/ EHEDG requirements. VERTICAL PIPE The fast-cleaning clean flow magnet is intended for vertical pipes and can be used in the foodstuffs, ceramic and chemical industries. Available

High quality materials, a long lifespan despite operating in adverse environmental conditions, efficient cleaning: these valves provide long-term help in meeting legal requirements for the protection of the environment. For many years, technologies for the after treatment of exhaust gases have been used in commercial vehicles to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and other particles. Buschjost, with their well-engineered valves, have played a considerable role in these complex developments right from the very beginning. As a longtime supplier of exhaust gas purification systems with their production site located in Germany, Buschjost is now also concentrating on dealing with the special requirements in the area of large diesel engines. Technical modifications to the worldwide tried and tested filter valves have made it possible for them to be deployed in exhaust gas purification systems, despite the extremely aggressive environmental conditions typically found there.

Buschjost is now offering a particularly compact filter cleaning system with a modular design that can be adapted to customer requirements. The high quality system solution meets all current guidelines and removes the need for customers to build expensive tanks. The fact is, filter systems around the world must be constantly improved. For this reason, Buschjost is adding to its 6" flex-on® filter cleaning system by also offering a 3" version for identical application ranges. This tank system is modular, flexible and designed for the smallest filter systems. It allows customers to easily stay abreast of increasing environmental demands. The compact filter cleaning systems is based on a tank measuring a maximum of 2,000 mm in length with a diameter of 75 mm. Manufactured from aluminium alloy, the smooth surface allows impurities and dust deposits to be removed extremely easily. And unlike steel tanks, the high quality material cannot corrode. But there

Whether Siberia or Malaysia: Buschjost filter valves are a reliable option even in extreme temperatures. Other technical benefits include durability, very short opening and closing times and high pressure impulse/pressure surge. This guarantees efficient cleaning in all situations and saves the end user money by using considerably less compressed air. At the heart of the robust filter valves is a one-piece plastic diaphragm. Where up to now two separate standard diaphragms were required for temperature ranges from -40 to +85 °C and temperatures between -10 to +140 °C, a high-performance polymer now covers the whole spectrum from -45 bis +140 °C. This offers plant manufacturers a higher level of safety and increases the service life of individual valves. All requirements for efficient cleaning can now be covered worldwide with a single diaphragm. Plastic diaphragms have a significantly longer working life compared to standard fabric diaphragms. The diaphragm

3D-Animation to the process The Wurster process is one of the key methods of applying active ingredients or functional layers to particles. The high reliability and efficiency of this method have made it a mainstay of process technology. Glatt has created an illustrative 3D animation of our patented Wurster process for interested experts and laymen alike. Particles are coated in order to change their surface properties and by this means the behavior of the particles: stability in storage, hygroscopicity, free flowing property, surface structure, solubility, appearance, taste, odor Glatt offers different processes for the coating of different particles. This equipment choise allows the customer to choose specific levels of coating quality. The coating liquid can be a solution, suspension or melt. In all processes the coating liquid is sprayed onto the particles. Low viscosity and small droplets are required to ensure even spreading of the coating liquid on the surface of the particles. The

Laboratory mill with autofill system for LN2 For size reduction of sample materials which cannot be processed at room temperature, RETSCH’s CryoMill is the ideal choice. An integrated cooling system ensures that the grinding jar is continually cooled with liquid nitrogen before and during the grinding process. Thus the sample is embrittled and volatile components are preserved. An Autofill System provides liquid nitrogen in the required amount so that the user never gets into direct contact with the LN2 which makes operating the mill particularly safe. The new CryoMill achieves considerably improved grind sizes thanks to the increased oscillating frequency of 30 Hz. Another new feature is the possibility to store up to 9 SOPs. Further improvements include a reinforced housing, optimized liquid nitrogen duct and new accessories such as an adapter for 6 reaction vials and a 10 ml grinding jar. The mill can also be operated without cooling which makes it suitable for a vast range of applications. NEW: • Oscillating
