In emerging countries transshipment of bagged goods is increasing and labour costs are climbing. Therefore, companies in these countries are looking for solutions to increase their handling capacity and reduces the number of workers. For truck loading, for example, systems are available that load bagged materials like cement directly from the packing machine onto the truck bed. The bags are palletised automatically in stacked rows or patterns.

Though latexes are very versatile and can be used to enhance a product’s performance characteristics, this article will identify and explain why one type of pumping technology— air-operated double -diaphragm, also known as AODD—is ideal for the demands of latex-handling.

Pharmaceutical giant Roche relies on Almatec AODD pumps to handle waste solvents safely—Air-operated double-diaphragm pumps from German manufacturer Almatec have proved an ideal solution for Roche, one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical manufacturers, in handling waste solvents, many of which are flammable, toxic, or both. A relationship spanning 25 years was first built on Almatec’s A-Series pumps, and now continues thanks to the company’s economic and efficient E-Series models.

Mouvex presents the new A6 model of its A Series Eccentric Disc Pumps. These pumps have been designed to replace existing Mouvex AF O pumps and are well suited for industrial applications involving both thin and viscous liquids.

How to find the best cleaning nozzle for the job? One can always try it out — or save the hassle by using state-of-the-art simulation tools. It’s the optimal arrangement of the nozzles inside the tank that lays the foundations for reliable cleaning results. A new simulation software helps customers to find the most suitable nozzle system for the cleaning task at hand. Furthermore, it identifies potential weak points during the development phase and explores potentials for optimizing existing systems, thus avoiding planning errors, reducing downtimes, and ensuring more efficiency and process reliability.

Metaline Series 700 self-processable elastic liquid coating system for solving wear and repair problems on site combines the quality features of wear-resistant elastomeric coatings with a simple and cost-effective cartridge spray processing for self-application. The system has also proved its efficiency for use with conveyor belts.

The efficiency champion takes the price! Dry compressing screw vacuum pumps with a particularly high degree of efficiency in the chemical production are challenging liquid ring pumps. At first sight, it seems clear which principle leads the way. However, this may be delusional.

In API manufacturing, contrary to the traditional use of multiple utilities, single fluid heat transfer systems are advantageous. These systems can be designed even for specific applications, and engineered and built at site.

Designing any equipment nowadays needs a strong software support. However, that’s not the only requirement. Here are guidelines that will help manufacturers to design better and pump in lesser time span.

Products from centrifuges or filtration processes often come in the form of wet, lumpy cakes — powdering and drying are usually important processing steps. Combining de-lumping and vacuum drying within a single step can bring big benefits for the industry while providing excellent quality even of sensitive products.
