This milling system delivers a
narrow particle-size distribution
The ARTMiS (Automated Real-Time
Milling System) features this company's
Micronizer Jet Mill - a sanitary design,
low-maintenance mill that delivers
a narrow particle-size distribution,
the company says, in the sub-micron
size range. The ARTMiS is designed
to simplify particle size reduction and
maintain product quality despite fluctuating
variables. The company says
that the system can help pharmaceutical
manufacturers increase yield and
efficiency, improve batch quality, enable
realtime decision-making, and help realize
return on investment within 12
months. Booth 2267 - Sturtevant Inc.,

This cleaning system
has a small footprint
The PH 810 cleaning system is designed
for cleaning small pieces of
pharmaceutical equipment and glass
items, and is said to be the most compact
pharmaceutical cleaning system
in its class. With a width of 100 cm
and chamber volume of 307 L, the PH
810 has an excellent ratio of payloadspace
to room-space. Specially suited
to pharmaceutical production and
research laboratories, the PH 810
cleaning system consumes 20% less
water, energy and detergent, the company
says. The system features itemshigh-moisture
applications, the company says.

Use these NIR analyzers in the
laboratory and in the plant
The XDS near-infrared (NIR) analyzer
(photo) is designed for analytical performance
with high sensitivity and
precise instrument matching, says the
company. The analyzers are capable of
inline or online measurements and are
available in single- and multiple-point
configurations. They meet most electrical
area classifications. Booth 2072 -

Apply semi-custom modifi cations
to these transport containers
This company has a range of standard
bins, drums, totes and hoppers that
can be modified to allow users the optimal
return on investment, and attain
sustainable material-handling solutions.
The reusable plastic containers
for food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical
applications can help users achieve
efficiency increases and waste reduction,

This tool polisher has a larger
capacity in the same footprint
The next generation in this company's
MF product line (photo) is the MF40,
a system for automated polishing of
pharmaceutical tablet punches and
dies. The MF40 has larger holders
to allow more punches per polishing
cycle, but fits into the same compact
footprint of its predecessor. The MF40
polishing machine is part of a wider
system for maintaining and storing
tabletting equipment. Booth 3164 -

This separator is now available
with a stainless-steel base
The Eco Separator is a springmounted
grading separator that is
suited to sizing, classifying or grading
powders. The unit is now available
with a fully stainless-steel base, making
it ideal for applications in which
the equipment is continuously washed
down, and where painted equipment
is not permitted, says the company.
The Eco Separator has the ability to
separate wet or dry materials on up to
five fractions, and is available in six
different sizes from 24 to 72 in. The
grading sieve can be used in any sized
plant, including laboratory-, pilot- or
production-scale. Booth 2733 - Russell

Remove rust from stainless steel
with these abrasive cloths
Abratec cleanroom abrasive cloths are
designed to remove rust from stainless-steel
aseptic processing equipment.
Corroded surfaces are difficult
to disinfect because the rough surfaces
do not allow good contact in wiping
and can provide bacteria with places
to hide, the company explains. The
Abratec cloths are made with various
levels of abrasive grits, and are backed
by the company's Quiltec fabric, which
is said to be more durable than foambacked
abrasives. This allows the
Abratec cloths to removed sanding
debris without contributing additional
