The fewer the components the better — the insides of the pump type series MegaCPK is really as simple as that. This intelligent piece of re-engineering caters not only to lower maintenance costs, but also to higher operating reliability and optimised efficiency.

How screw pumps strip out even highly viscous media – When emptying an oil or fuel tank (a process refferd to as stripping), quite often residual product of the highly viscous media is left behind. But does it have to be that way? Pumps with excellent intake at low NPSHr values can in fact completely empty tanks – even of crude oil and bitumen. And one technology in particular outperforms the rest...

More than just instant coffee — Spray–dried powders are widely used throughout the food and pharmaceuticals industry. While these products are easy to use, the required processes are actually quite challenging: Production methods have to be efficient, easy to handle and fully hygienic. Therefore, plant operators will have to take a closer look at the properties of spray dryers…

A new dosage pump solution offers more than just lower life-cycle costs — Pump efficiency is energy efficiency. But do you have to sacrifice dosing accuracy for energy saving? As power consumption becomes a premier cost factor for pumps, one should consider alternative technologies.

The innovation champions of Achema 2018 have been crowned. The eleven most innovative products have received the coveted Innovation Award out of around 100 entries. At the award ceremony, the prize winners and shortlist candidates celebrated with about 250 other guests.

Aro, a global manufacturer of products for the management of fluids in industrial operations and a brand of Ingersoll Rand, is showcasing a variety of pumping solutions, ranging from air-operated diaphragm pumps to piston pumps, and filters, regulators and lubricators (FRLs).

The new oil-free Comp-Air Ultima compressor offers up to 12 % improved energy efficiency compared to a conventional two-stage machine, as well as a 37 % smaller footprint, says the manufacturer Comp Air (a Gardner Denver brand).

KSB Pumps, a leading manufacturer of pumps and valves in the transport and treatment of water and wastewater segment, introduced extension of its KRT series pumps by adding new hydraulics.

Maximum ease of cleaning, maintenance, and internal inspection are the qualities that make the horizontal paddle vacuum dryer from Italvacuum a good drying solution for multi-product applications. To create an even better system, the company asked its most demanding customers about their urgent production requirements – and took the resulting lessons to heart.

Producing pharmaceuticals requires such a multitude and complexity of aspects to be considered that the actual drying process stage is often overlooked. This is despite the fact that high quality and reproducible drying can improve product quality while at the same time optimising the entire production process. This is what a major pharmaceutical company experienced when they implemented a condensation drying system.
