Pulsafeeder Engineered Products PulsaPro & Pulsa series petrochemical pumps are available from John Brooks Company. The four most common chemical metering pump applications in chemical manufacturing plants for the series include dosing precise volumes of chemicals to make products, pre-treating the process water to boost quality and efficiency, dosing anti-scaling chemicals to clean and protect plant infrastructure, and post-treatment of the wastewater prior to disposal.
The 76 Series— the largest model in the Eriez line up of vibratory feeders — supports trays up to approximately 200 lb and is offered in most common voltages. In designing the feeder, the company says it filled a void in the marketplace by providing a feeding solution for applications where trays are often too heavy for smaller models and using multiple drives is not practical.
Bonomi North America has announced CSA approval on the company’s Valbia electric actuators, models VB030M and above. This approval is important in Canada where it is required for installation. Units are built with water-tight cast aluminum or techno-polymer enclosures that can be used indoors or outdoors, the company says.
Princeton Tec has introduced a dual-fuel penlight, the Alloy-X. The light provides 400 lumens and a 28-hour runtime. The company’s dual-fuel technology allows the light to be powered via an included rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and to also function with two AAA alkaline batteries.
The Endress+Hauser in-line Teqwave H analyzer is said to enable users to reliably monitor fluids in the food and beverage industry. A range of applications are possible, such as monitoring sugar content in fruit juices and distilled beverages or the concentration of cleaning agents.
