Dorner's Series 220 conveyors feature bearings installed in a re-designed blind housing hole instead of a through hole. This protects the bearings from outside elements that could prematurely damage or corrode them, adds strength to the conveyor and helps reduce maintenance, says the company.
Pentalift's lift table is equipped with a powered deck extension that moves laterally. The 3,000-lb. capacity unit has a 60-in. by 84-in. platform with a 50-in. vertical lift. A 48-in. by 22-in. deck, stored within the platform, can be extended hydraulically to provide a walk-over bridge for maintenance personnel.
Motorized pulleys with integrated shaft encoders from BDL America allow conveyor system operators to synchronize product movements. The encoders use either SKF or SNR pulse outputs to precisely monitor motorized pulley movement to control conveyor belt speed, position, torque and rotational direction.
Mettler-Toledo Safeline's PowerPhase PRO is a three-frequency metal detector with a color, touch-screen interface. The IP69K-rated unit features one-pass auto product set up. A product-clustering feature allows a range of products to run through the machine without the need to change settings.
The ABCOR HFK ultrafiltration spiral module series from Koch includes membranes that provide high yields for whey and milk processing, as well as other food applications. The elements use the proprietary KMS semi-permeable polyethersulfone (PES) membrane to achieve 99.8% instantaneous protein rejection.
Chemineer offers Kenics sanitary static mixers for blending, dispersion and heating/cooling. Continuous, in-line mixing is achieved with no moving parts, no maintenance and no external power requirements. The mixers feature sanitary stainless steel construction, sanitary clamp-style fittings and clean-in-place models.
Heatcraft Refrigeration Products says its Smart Defrost Kit reduces refrigeration operating costs and increases product integrity by evaluating the refrigeration system and determining how much frost accumulation is on the evaporator coil. If there is not significant accumulation, then the kit establishes that the scheduled defrost can be skipped.
Bematek colloid mills feature a milling head that has a rotor and stator gap that can be adjusted while running to efficiently achieve particle size reduction and micron dispersions and emulsions of varying viscosities. Providing precise process control, repeatability and consistency, the mills are suitable for in-line applications or batch processing anywhere particle size reduction and uniform distribution are needed, says the company.
The Pinnacle chiller from AEC, Inc. offers rotational compression technology with scroll compressors. Scrolls use 50% fewer moving parts than reciprocating compressors, resulting in higher efficiency and reliability and less noise, says the company.
Radio Frequency Co.'s Macrowave pasteurization systems are suitable for bulk applications for bagged or conveyed loose product. In a radio frequency heating system, the RF generator creates an alternating electric field between two electrodes. The material to be treated is conveyed between the electrodes where the alternating energy causes polar molecules, such as water, in the material to continuously reorient themselves to face opposite poles.
