New NDT technique for
inspection of composites
Insono is a new non-destructive testing (NDT) technique
for the inspection of composite repairs applied
to metallic components. Insono complements this
company's Technowrap range, and provides operators
with assurance required by the regulatory bodies.
It also allows for the extension of defined-life repairs,
reducing waste while
avoiding carbon emissions
from traditional
steel-replacement
alternatives.
Validated by
The Welding Institute
(TWI) with patent and U.K. accreditation pending, the
portable hand-held equipment and specifically designed
probes (photo) allow for inspection of all geometries,
including complex configurations, and can
easily be deployed in the field in hard-to-reach locations.

Dual-action inspection and weighing
for packaging
This company has developed a new unit that combines
metal detection and weighing to streamline
product packaging applications, leading to improved
reliability, throughput rates and accuracy. The Metal
Detector Checkweigher Combo (photo), unveiled at
Pack Expo in Chicago,
employs a high-performance
weigh cell that
uses electromagnetic
force restorations (EMFR)
technology, instead of the
traditional strain
gages
used in other scales.
Moving along a conveyor, the package is first inspected
for metal. If traces of metal are detected,
the package is automatically rejected without slowing
down the line. As pure packages continue along the
conveyor, they are then checked for accurate weight.
If it is either over or under the prescribed weight, then
it is rejected into a different bin. - Bunting-Newton,

A portable conveying system for
pharma and food products
This company has introduced a new manual dumping
system with integral conveyor and separate dust
collector (photo, p. 24), which is suitable for dairy
powders, pharmaceutical products and contamination-sensitive
bulk foods. Designed and finished to
3-A sanitary standards, the system is composed of
a manual dumping station with a surge hopper, a
flexible screw conveyor and a support boom on a
caster-mounted frame, plus a separate, mobile dustcollection
system that can be configured alongside or
remotely. The mobile system can serve multiple funcCHEMICAL
