Conference
and
Exhibition,
which includes a conference program
of topics related to solids handling,
as well as a tradeshow highlighting
all types of solids-handling process
equipment, will be held April 25-27
at the Donald Stephens Convention
Center in Rosemont, Ill. The following
is a small selection of products and
equipment that will be displayed on
the tradeshow floor at iPBS 2023.
Rembe GmbH Safety+Control
Surface area and pore analyzer
enables speed and precision
This company's new Nova series
(photo) for measuring surface area
and pore characteristics has been designed
to deliver speed and precision
without tradeoffs. Consisting of four
models, the Nova series delivers high
analysis throughput by combining four
sample-preparation stations with up to
four analysis stations in a single compact
footprint. Patented features like
Nova analysis mode combined with
a suite of intelligent dosing algorithms
significantly reduce measurement
times. Five-point Brunauer-EmmettTeller
(BET) analyses of up to four samples
can be performed in as little as
20 min. High throughput is combined
with high precision and sensitivity. Exclusive
features, like TruZone active
coolant-level control, enhance analysis
sensitivity by actively maintaining
the cryogen level to ensure a small
cold zone around the sample cell. A
dedicated P0 cell and transducer constantly
monitor the saturation pressure
over the course of a measurement to
provide highly accurate relative pressure
readings, yielding precise and reproducible
isotherms. Reproducibility
above 2% can now be obtained even
with an absolute surface area as low
as 2 m2 in the sample cell. Stand 2830

Measure CO and humidity with
continuous self-calibration
Excessive caking can result in spontaneous
combustion in commercial
spray-drying applications. To avoid
caking, humidity and carbon monoxide
are used as indicators to ensure
a safe process, but combined
measurement systems cannot clearly
distinguish between these two indicators.
The CO.Pilot Synergistic CO
and Humidity Measurement system
(photo) autonomously performs continuous
comparisons of measured
gas data with a synchronized database
of stored reference gases
that serve as " fingerprints " of the
selected process and combustion
gases. This allows the possibility to
perform a realtime check to continuously
verify the measurement accuracy
as a self-calibration. At the same
time, the realtime fingerprint analysis
eliminates cross-sensitivity to other
gases in the measurement spectrum,
which is problematic with other
commercial gas analyzers. A proprietary
evaluation algorithm enables
the measured supply and exhaust
gas stream values to be compared
in real time. Thus, if an increased
CO concentration is detected due
to spontaneous combustion during
the process, countermeasures can
be initiated immediately. Stand 1238

Use this feeder in high-sanitary
process applications
The MechaTron 3-A feeder (photo)
was designed specifically for use
in food and dairy process applications
where equipment must meet
3-A sanitary levels or equivalent. All
welds, radii, seals, surface finishes
and gaskets, as well as contact and
non-contact materials meet 3-A standards.
Available product features include
a.c. and d.c. drive packages,
an FDA/USDA-accepted Coni-Flex
flexible conical feed-hopper, helix configurations
for feedrates from 0.30 to
330 ft3/h (8.5 to 9,300 L/h) and an unmatched
ability to disassemble, clean,
reconfigure and service from the nonprocess
side of the feeder. A domed
hopper cover and open bottom frame
speeds and optimizes draining during
and after wash-down cycles. Smooth,
crevice-free product contact surfaces
help prevent the formation of bacteria.
