New Products
Upgraded fluid-bed processors
feature better process control
This company has upgraded its Vibro-Bed
fluid-bed processor (photo)
with new features designed to regulate
pressure and temperature more
efficiently for faster material drying
and increased throughput. Fluid-bed
processors dry, moisturize, heat or
cool bulk material by causing it to vibrate
on a screen or perforated surface
within a rising column of heated,
chilled or moisturized air. In addition
to faster drying, the Vibro-Bed's upgraded
controls make it easier for
operators with minimal training to
run batch or continuous material processing.
An energy-efficient circular
design utilizes 100% of the surface
area to optimize airflow for faster drying,
less waste and a more consistent
product, according to the company.
The Vibro-Bed product range includes
eight compact models ranging
from 24 to 84 in. (610 to 2125 mm) in
diameter. Configurations are avilable
for scalping, de-dusting, agglomerating
or de-agglomerating materials
while they are dried, cooled or moisturized
to save on the cost of operating
separate equipment. - Kason

Streamline quality control with
this three-in-one analysis device
Easy Vis (photo) is a new instrument
that analyzes liquid, translucent
samples for their optical spectrum,
color and water parameters. Combining
these critical measuring tasks
into one device, Easy Vis takes over
the measuring tasks of up to three
instruments: a colorimeter, a spectrophotometer
and special measuring
devices for water testing, such
as titration. Analysis results appear
onscreen within seconds. Easy VIS
is suitable for use in quality-control
laboratories at small manufacturers in
the food-and-beverage industry, environmental
testing labs or any industry
needing quality control for products or
process water or wastewater streams.
The Easy VIS is used during multiple
steps of the production process: for
inspection of raw materials; for quality
control of semi-finished and finished
products; or for testing the water quality
of wastewater. These capabilities
are especially valuable for laboratories
that previously sent out samples to an
external laboratory, because they can
now conduct in-house analyses. Easy
VIS operates within a wavelength
range of 330 to 1,000 nm. The light
source is an easy-to-replace tungsten
lamp. - Mettler-Toldeo GmbH,

Remote monitoring and control
of odor-control systems
Ecolink (photo) is an online portal
for remote monitoring and control
of this company's industrial odorneutralization
systems. With this advancement,
users can now manage
their equipment from anywhere with
any device capable of hosting a web
browser, such as a smart phone,
tablet or computer. EcoLink provides
the ability to remotely start, stop and
change vaporization-system operating
mode, identify low product levels
and rack and trend flowrates, energy
use, downtime and other key performance
indicators (KPIs). Additionally,
EcoLink can send alerts and notifications
to an operations team, adjust
product dosage to coincide with fluctuating
odor-producing periods and
encrypt data for transit and storage.

Better stress distribution
with this tool design
This company's Wright Drive 2.0
socket design is said to distribute
contact stress more effectively than
other wrench systems. The Wright
Drive 2.0 12-point design has up to
10 times more tool-to-fastener contact
area than conventional 12-point
wrenches. The design improves fastener
torque load while decreasing
rounding and distortion of the fastener.
The Wright Drive 2.0 six-point
design (photo) moves the contact
area away from the corners, creating
greater strength and more torque.
Its circle diameter reduces fastener
rounding and allows better grip on
undersized fasteners and previously
rounded corners. - Wright Tool Co.,
Barberton, Ohio
