The new Delta Hybrid series of rotary lobe compressors from Aerzener Maschinenfabrik is a world first in creating a symbiosis between rotary lobe blowers (for a lower pressure range) and screw compressors (for a higher pressure range), for the first time ever permitting maximum pressure levels of up to 1.5 bar in pneumatic conveyance. In field trials at a milling operation it was rated “very good”.

Visoka has increased its production output of high efficiency finned tubes. They have commissioned a new CNC rolling plant. Their high fin tubes production is now better controlled through this development.

Gemü reduces the space requirements for process plant and, at the same time, increase the performance capability of system components.

Gea Nu-Con improved their rotary valves. The main areas of focus were the body casting, air service unit and the motor mounting system.

A steel plant faces various difficulties while handling raw material. This article gives an idea for designing the geometry of bins/ bunkers suitable for the mass flow. Read on to know more.

Fryma Koruma present a annular gap bead mill and a toothed colloid mill for manufacturing suspensions and other products of almost any viscosity.

Small things make big differences: Although needle valves are comparably simple in construction, the effects of an ill-suited valve selection can be quite drastic. Problems, ranging from issues with standard compliance to contamination or even process failure, are typical consequences of low quality or simply inapt valves. The benefits of needle valves, on the other hand can be quite big — if the proper component is selected.

MG2’s Flexalab is a capsule filler specifically designed for R&D laboratories, clinical trials, small batch outputs and special productions. For productions up to 3000 cps/h, it is based on the same functioning principles as MG2 high speed machines.

Air Liquide entered into a joint venture with Sinopec in Beijing, for the take-over and optimization of three existing ASUs (Air Separation Units) and the building of a new nitrogen production unit, for a total investment of $ 47 million.

Time runs out for mercury cell technology in chlorine production, and alternatives are in high demand—Although the December 2017 deadline for the prohibition of mercury cell technology in the EU still seems to be quite far away, time is running out for chlorine producers who have yet to start the conversion or closure process. Even though the regulatory pressures hit a struggling industry hard, it is important to start investigating cost-effective solutions.
