Glass-Free pH Sensors Withstand Rugged Process Conditions
The ISFET Memosens CPS47D, CPS77D, and CPS97D pH sensors are designed for applications where glass sensors may break under challenging process conditions. The ISFET sensors are constructed of shatter-resistant polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) plastic that maximizes product safety and accuracy. They have a large chip surface and are easy to clean, making them suitable for use in hygienic applications in the food and life-sciences industries. The CPS77D sensor is resistant to bacteria, thanks to its microporous ceramic diaphragm. The CPS47D and CPS77D sensors can last at least 25 clean-in-place (CIP) cycles, which is a significant improvement over conventional ISFET sensors.

Manifolds Improve Pressure Transmitter Reliability

Rosemount R305 integral manifolds and Rosemount R306 in-line manifolds provide advantages over earlier designs. The Rosemount R305 is designed for both differential and gauge pressure applications and mounts directly to any Rosemount coplanar transmitter. The Rosemount R306 is designed for in-line pressure transmitters for gauge or absolute pressure measurements. The manifolds feature a pressure-lock valve design that simplifies high-pressure operation, increases safety, and enhances reliability. The modular packing design of the manifolds ensures that only the stem and body are exposed to process fluid. Bonnet and stem threads are fully isolated from the process fluid to minimize potential corrosion. In addition, an adjustable packing nut simplifies valve maintenance.

Additives Provide Energy Savings to Polypropylene Producers
The Hyperform HPN performance additives for polypropylene provide significant energy savings for injection-molding processes. The performance additives lower energy usage by reducing injection-molding cycle times, which also improves productivity. The UL Environmental and Sustainability group has certified four grades of Hyperform HPN that enable an average of 5鈥8% energy savings for processors that injection mold thin-wall container lids or similar polypropylene products.

System Upgrade Produces Large PET Containers with Handles

InnoPET Biomax Series V stretch blow molders can now incorporate a system to reliably produce large polyethylene terephthalate (PET) container bottles with sturdy integral handles. The system has two pneumatically activated mold elements that form mounting points for a stable grip on the container during the stretch blow-molding process. Synchronization of the system鈥檚 mold elements and precise valve control contribute to reliable throughput and low rejection rates. Handles make PET containers an attractive choice for bottling juice, oil, and milk, as well as home and personal-care products.

Advanced Resins Improve Properties in Many Applications
SARBIO liquid resins offer performance advantages in an array of applications, from coatings and adhesives to composites and 3D printing. All of the resins within the line are based on renewable raw materials. The N3xtDimension liquid resin for UV-curable 3D printing is engineered to improve impact resistance, flexibility, high-resolution prototyping, and castability in medical parts, automotive components, and consumer goods applications. High-performance aliphatic urethane acrylates for electronics provide an optimized balance of elongation with tensile strength, toughness, and hardness. They are non-yellowing and have a relatively low glass-transition temperature. Specialty acrylates for high-performance coatings improve stain resistance, hardness, chemical stability, toughness, and adhesion, and have a fast cure speed.

Conveyor Belt Cleaning Blade Can Be Cut to Length

The QC1+ belt cleaner is designed to hold a patented cleaning blade in place without the need to mill slots for holding pins. The blade can be cut to fit virtually any application, reducing the need to stock multiple blade sizes for different belt widths. Operators simply trim the blade to the desired size from the stock 9-ft (2.74-m) length to match the material path, slide in the blade holders, and lock them in position. The blade can be retrofitted to any of the company鈥檚 main frames and most other competing designs without the need for additional machining. Five different urethane blade formulations are available to meet varying requirements related to chemical resistance, high-temperature operations, granular or tacky materials, and more.

Rotary Inline Mixer Handles High Volumes of Bulk Solids

The sanitary inline Model RCM36X9SS rotary continuous mixer blends dry bulk solids with or without liquid additions. Unlike mixers that use agitators to blend stationary bulk solids (risking damage to the materials), this rotary continuous mixer has no internal moving parts. Rather, it features a stationary inlet and outlet, a rotating drum with smooth interior surfaces, and proprietary mixing flights that impart a gentle tumbling action. As the drum rotates to distribute the particles, no shear is imparted to the material. The mixer uses a 3-hp (2.24-kW) electric motor that rotates the drum at 8鈥10 rpm, which keeps power requirements relatively low. As an option to minimize time in particle coating applications, stainless-steel piping with nozzles is also available for uniform spraying of liquid additives.

Sifters are Suitable for Sanitary and Corrosive Materials

The GS Series of centrifugal sifters is designed for challenging operations ranging from sanitary to corrosive environments. The sifters are able to condition granular and powdered product upstream of production lines to safely remove foreign matter and separate the product into discrete streams based on particle size. They have a rotating-paddle assembly that uses centrifugal force to pass fine particles through a mesh screen and divert oversized particles to the discharge, which is sealed within a dust-tight housing. The sifters allow visual inspection and easy access for cleaning or changeovers with minimal downtime. They are available in Type 304 or Type 316 stainless steel.
