Flameless Venting
C
V Technology is
proud to announce
that the InterceptorQR
is the first flameless
venting system to
have completed a FM
Approval to the new
Approval Standard
7730. The 7730 standard
is the most recent
and most rigorous
testing methodology
to have been developed. Using the methodology stresses the devices
under more realistic conditions than had been developed by
previous standards. CV Technology continues to be a pioneer in the
combustible dust protection industry with the most complete certification
for flameless venting technology in the world.
The dust and flame retention capability of the Interceptor-QR
make it ideal for indoor explosion venting applications. With a
simple installation, easy refurbishment, and process friendliness,
the Interceptor-QR is a superior explosion mitigation technology.
Interceptor-QR flameless vents can be used on a variety of process
equipment. These vents are designed to be used on equipment
located indoors since they eliminate the release of a flame ball.
Flameless vents are ideal for pneumatic conveying equipment, dust
collectors, bins, cyclones, bucket elevator, mills, silos and dryers.

B&P Littleford's Innovative
Compounding Technology
F
or more than a
century, B&P
Littleford's industrial
equipment has been
helping customers
make their manufacturing
processes better,
more efficient, and
more profitable. B&P
designs and builds a
wide spectrum of mixing, drying, extruding, compounding, and centrifugal
separation equipment for large- or small-scale manufacturing
applications.
Their exclusive TriVolution Compounder (3 strokes per screw revolution)
offers a dramatic shift in process performance while using
less energy than competitive products. The design basis enables an
easy transition for new owners as the unit retains the basic modularity
of most familiar compounding extruders. This machine - like
all of the B&P Littleford compounding equipment - is designed and
built in Saginaw, MI. Full-service testing, parts, and rental equipment
are readily available for the full line of products, as well.
Whether it is planning a new product, seeking to enhance production
of a current product line, modifying a formula, trying to
boost environmental performance, or simply need increased efficiency
in production, B&P Littleford will customize an industrial machine
solution to fit their customers' needs.

Advanced Solutions For Optimized Process Performance
F
or over 90 years, SPX FLOW's Lightnin
brand has been recognized as the leader
in offering mixing solutions, providing a complete
package of products and services for the
specialty chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology,
minerals processing, petroleum and
waste water treatment markets. Whether top
enty, side entry, bottom entry, portable clamp
mount, mechanically sealed or magnetically
driven, Lightnin builds mixers for all of your
needs. With a full range of in house modeling
capabilities (CFD, FEA, experimental mixing
testing), Lightnin has a dedicated R&D group,
providing process consulting services for all
aspects of your mixing processes.
SPX FLOW Lightnin consulting services
begins with a careful evaluation of a client's
mixing process need, which might cover a
new application or improving an existing
application's performance. Understanding
the desired process result and how the
mixer design and vessel design effects it
essential for success. The Lightnin application
engineering and R&D teams will
benchmark the current process needs, vessel
design including internals, feed and outlet
locations for continuously operations to
best gauge the mixing design requirements.

For existing systems,
the mixer
performance will
also be benchmarked,
focusing
on the client's
pain points regarding
the existing mixing process. Once
these baselines are established, Lightnin's
research and development and application
engineering teams design the optimal mixing
solution utilizing both experimental and
computational techniques within Lightnin's
Process Technology Mixing Laboratory in
Rochester, NY.
After a detailed process assessment,
Lightnin can then design a new mixing solution
for new processes and a retrofit mixing
solution for processes with existing
mixers installed. Lightnin's Research and
Development team uses proven scale up
techniques to translate small scale results
into full scale mixer designs. For complex
reactors, Lightnin's Mechanical Engineers
can predict the mechanical forces that the
mixing solution will impart on the vessel
and vessel internals, which can include
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of the mixer
components
and mixer / vessel interaction. In addition,
the installation and maintenance requirements
for the mixing solution are included
with the recommendation, which provides
our clients with peace of mind that the solution
will provide both process results and
long term reliability.
SPX FLOW Lightnin enjoys a global reputation
for durable, long lasting mixers, agitators
and surface aerators for fluid processing
systems in a wide range of markets, including
state of the art impeller technology for
diverse applications. Lightnin offers a worldwide
service network, mixer repair, gearbox
repair and exchange and replacement parts
programs. Lightnin also offers mixing seminars
for your engineering staffs as well as lab
testing solutions in both Europe and Asia.
Look to Lightnin for knowledge, technology
and service excellence.
