GF Piping Systems has expanded its Fuseal polypropylene corrosive waste piping system size range to include 1-1/2 inch to 18 inch for both pipe and fittings.

Issues like fall hazards and unguarded machinery are all violations dairy plants have been cited for in the last five years. We discuss how such events can be avoided and why worker safety should be top-of-mind.

The Encompass system from Stonepak consists of a valve bag filler (or two), an ultrasonic sealer and a robotic bag applicator completely enclosed to contain dust within the enclosure.

Flexicon has introduced a new vacuum receiver with a pneumatically actuated dump valve for dilute phase pneumatic conveying systems. Constructed of stainless steel, the vacuum receiver features a rugged, clamp-together design that facilitates rapid, tool-free disassembly for filter cleaning and maintenance.

Pentair has developed the anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) technology, together with partner Biothane. The new technology achieves a complete retention of the biomass in the anaerobic digester and brings a significant improvement of the digestion process: more robust, smaller footprint, fully automated operation, higher biogas production efficiency and superior effluent quality (free of suspended solids and typically 99% COD reduction).

The Ross MegaShear ultra-high shear mixer is designed for homogenizing dispersions and disintegrating large solid particles or droplets suspended in liquid.

The Model 70N Cooker-Cooler from Chester-Jensen is a batch mixing processor that was designed to cook, cool and super blend food products all in the same vessel.
