July 1st 2005 Keen to address both safety and productivity issues, Manchester-based M & I Materials approached Flexicon (Europe) for help with handling monopentery-thritol used in the manufacture of its Midel 7131 synthetic compound.
Flexicon designed, installed and commissioned a bulk bag discharger and conveyor system that would address safety while helping the company double output. A further consideration was that moisture should be prevented during the handling process.
The system includes a bulk bag frame mounted on load cells, heavy duty, 1450 round, screw Hygienic air handling units York International offers a range of ‘clean concept’ air handling units for ultra-sensitive, hygienic applications and environments.
The YMA-C family delivers airflows ranging from 0.25 to 60m3/s and is said to ensure high indoor air quality and cleanliness.
The smooth interior of the unit has no obstructions that could trap dirt or allow a build-up of bacteria. The entire AHU interior can be made from stainless steel and there is an option for floor panels to be sloped to give continuous drainage.
Units are said to achieve the highest classification for both thermal transmittance and thermal bridge factor when measured against Eurovent test standards.
Air knife IWEX launch Very sensitive ATEX-approved GlobalGear pumps from Tuthill Pump Group are aimed at industries pumping viscous fluids and are suitable as new or replacement units.
They can be used for transferring, off-loading and many other applications and have 90 and 180° port configurations, ease of maintenance, multiple options for connections/flanges and an option for magnetic coupling.
Maintenance is aided by a back pull out feature that is said to reduce downtime by as much as 60 to 70% compared to other conventional pumps. Units offer inline seal replacement and will accept gland packing, inboard or outboard mechanical seals, cartridges or double seals without modification.
