efficiently from small hoppers to large
bunkers. They are designed for quiet,
trouble-free operation. The elliptical
action of the ERVs helps settle material
in bags, boxes or other materials
for shipping or storage. Standard
models are constructed for wet or
dusty environments. These vibrators
feature a durable powder-coat finish,
tropicalized windings and adjustable
eccentric weights to set force output.
They offer continuous operation at
100% force output. - Eriez Manufacturing

An integrated drive makes this
conveyor flexibile
The design of the Chain-Vey tubular
drag conveyor (photo) incorporates an
integrated drive unit to provide flexibility.
The new drive feature uses one
pipe (instead of two), making it suitable
for transport in tight spaces. It offers
gentle conveying capabilities, low
maintenance and energy efficiency, a
loop-style layout for multiple pickup
and discharge point configurations and
an explosion-proof rating. - Modern
Process Equipment, Inc., Chicago, Ill.

Mixing and dispensing for
smaller, lab-scale applications
The multi-functional Ystral PiloTec
processing system (photo) for induction,
mixing and dispersing offers dust
and loss-free powder induction and
wetting under vacuum and dispersing
in one package. An exchange of mixing
tools also allows inline dispersing
with multi-stage shear ring systems.
Modular capabilities of the PiloTec
allow problem-free upgrades to a PiloTec
plant processing system including
Ystral mixing system, powder and liquid
handling systems, incorporating
measuring and weighing technology,
lifting devices and other modular components.

Weighing system accurately
weighs product in transfer
The Conweigh weighing system can
accurately weigh powders, granules,
food particles, pellets, capsules, tablets
and other bulk materials being
transferred into and out of production
processes via Volkmann conveyors.
Conweigh registers weight within
±1% or better, allowing adjustments
to be made to avoid weight gains or
losses during transfer and to improve
production outcomes. - Volkmann,
Inc., Hainesport, N.J.
