a magnetic drive. The double stainless-steel
bellows ensure product
containment and safety. The SLS
series of pumps provides very high
suction and discharge pressures,
allowing them to self-prime and
fully strip lines, for maximal product
recovery. Booth 2633 - Mouvex,

These pumps feature single-use
molded plastic chambers
The QF1200 Series of single-use fourpiston
diaphragm pumps (photo) are
intended for biological-handling applications
in the pharmaceutical and
biotechnology industries. Featuring
single-use, injection-molded pump
chambers, these pumps create less
waste materials. These replaceable
chambers reduce downtime between
batches and are simple to change
out. QF1200 pumps are also convertible
from single-use plastic elements
to fully cleanable or sterilizable
stainless-steel heads, as required by
the application. The absence of mechanical
seals results in linear flow
characteristics and high turndown
capability, allowing for safe transfer
of fragile media. Booth 2633 - Quattroflow,
Kamp-Lintfort, Germany

Three unique milling
processes on one machine
These new modular milling systems
(photo) bring together three
different milling processes into one
machine. The modular system is
capable of conical reduction of powders
and granulates, control screening
and fine grinding, and users
can easily interchange mill heads
to switch between processes. The
system consists of a conical sieve
mill with a rotor at medium revolutions
per minute (rpm), a cylindrical
sieve mill with a turning stator with
lower rpm and a hammer mill with
high rpm. A drive arm connects the
entire drive and control network to
the milling system both electronically
and mechanically. With an
updated control and operator-interface
design, the mills' programmable
logic controller (PLC) can be
integrated into higher-level control
schemes. Booth 2140 - Frewitt SA,

Process three container types
on one machine with this system
Modular machines (photo) from
this company can process nested
syringes, vials and carpules, all
on a single unit. Disposable systems
for the various kinds of dosing
pumps can be incorporated as
needed, to further customize the
module's flexibility. Integrated
in-process monitoring results in
high filling precision and batch
yields. Also, batch-to-batch turnaround
and idle times in machines

This micro-ingredient feeder has
interchangeable modules
The MT-16 micro-ingredient feeder
(photo, p. 35) has interchangeable
feeding modules allowing for versatility
between twin-screw or singlescrew
operation. This flexibility
allows the equipment to handle a
broad range of materials, including
powders and granules. The overall
feed capacity of the feeder is
0.02 to 27 dm³/h. The design allows
for extended screw profiles, with a
small footprint, resulting in closer
discharge dimensions. The unit
features a totally enclosed weight
sensor and drive motor with high
