A stainless-steel drum lifter that
provides ample support
The 86-SS below-the-hook drum
lifter (photo) is made from 304
stainless steel and provides lifting
services for a wide range of industries,
including construction, marine,
oil-and-gas, food, pharmaceuticals
and more. The stainless-steel
construction makes the 86-SS model
ideal for applications where cleanliness
and washdown are required.
It is also corrosion-resistant for use
in harsh environments. The lifter's
design provides support from below
by two bars, and support around
the drums' girth by a positive-grip
cinch chain with a ratchet mechanism.

Smart transmitters for a variety
of level-sensing applications
This company's line of LevelBest
smart transmitters (photo) for
application-specific level sensors
feature onboard diagnostics and
completely configurable alarms,
providing an accurate inventory
of stored products, reduced-cost
support for startup and commissioning
and ongoing reductions in
scheduled maintenance. LevelBest
transmitters are outfitted with better
than 12-bit resolution and automatic
zero, with a 4-20-mA
output powered by 10-26
V d.c. and turn-on current
of less than 3.8 mA. Upscale
and downscale alarms
are configurable for both
process and sensor. Standard-
and corrosive-service
models are available, along
with a wide selection of
mounting accessories. Also
offered are versions of the
units for open-channel
flow and water monitoring.
These units feature configurable
weir and flume level-to-level linearization,
as well as user-defined
curve-fitting, remote configuration,
wired or wireless options and a wide
range of temperature monitoring,
from -40 to 65°C. - Levelese, Inc.,

These blenders deliver uniformity
for both wet and dry materials
The new line of Model 42C cylindrical
ribbon blenders (photo) are
designed to mix dry powders, wet
granulations and paste-like materials
with densities up to 100 lb/
ft3. Available in many capacities,
from 0.5 to 1,000 ft3, these blenders
can be built for atmospheric,
full-vacuum or internal-pressure
operation. A full range of standard,
heavy-duty and sanitary models
are offered. Uniform mixing and
heating are accomplished by a variable-speed,
double-ribbon agitator
that is driven by a gear motor. Precisely
pitched inner and outer ribbons
produce a well-balanced axial
and radial flow pattern within the
batch. Tightly controlled clearances

between the horizontal agitator
and the cylindrical vessel further
ensure thorough blending and promote
nearly complete discharge.
Stainless steel 316 is the standard
material of construction. Options
for stainless steel 304, carbon steel
and other alloys are also available.

Ceiling-mounted units outfitted
with dynamic filtration chambers
Purair SKY ceiling-mounted filtration
units (photo) provide personnel
protection in areas where
hazardous substances are handled.
Outfitted with a dynamic filtration
chamber and a sliding filter
clamp that allows for quick filter
changes, these units are designed
for a wide range of laboratory and
industrial applications. Units come
with an epoxy-coated steel support
frame with LED lighting and wallmounted
controls. An electrostatic
pre-filter helps ensure good trappage
of particulate materials. Two
different model sizes are available:
