THE WORLD'S FIRST IMPACT & TORQUE GUN
PUSH the shifter handle forward, engage the 4,000 rpm
high speed impact at low noise and vibration for a quick,
corrosion-overcoming pre-torque or run-up.
PULL the shifter handle back, engage the continuous
rotation precision (+5%) torque mode for make-up and
break-out, free of reaction arm, finger pinching and
destructible side load.

for homogeneous blending or coating,
says the manufacturer. Homogeneous
blends can be achieved in 15-60 s residence
time, depending on the material
characteristics. - Munson Machinery

abrasive, sticky or tacky compounds,
slurries, emulsions and pastes that
require heat to maintain consistency.
The unit's horizontal, cylindrical vessel
with a single agitator is supported by
externally mounted flange-block bearings.
It can blend at rates up to 2,000
A static mixer for adjusting
bitumen viscosity and density
This company has introduced a static
mixer for bitumen processing that
mixes multiple diluents to the correct
viscosity and density, which allows
pumping over a wide range of flowrates.
The Model 290 Variable Flow
Static Mixer (photo) is combined with
the company's wafer-style static mixer
to achieve a low coefficient of variation
(CoV) of injected diluents. Capable of
achieving a uniform concentration of
injected materials within a short downstream
distance, while meeting the
maximum pressure-loss criteria, this
mixer reduces consumption of the bitumen
diluents, says the company. Accommodating
flowrates at up to a 20-to-1
turndown ratio, the mixer is made from
316L stainless steel and is available in
sizes from 2- to 60-in. dia. - Westfall
Manufacturing Co., Bristol, R.I.

This mixer is also
an energy-effi cient dryer
The Pegasus Mixer features a doubleshaft
paddle mechanism that gently
throws powders, granules and granulates
into the air during mixing. The
fluidized zone created allows the multifunctional
processing unit to mix
ingredients extremely gently, quickly
and energy-efficiently, says the company.
The new drying functionality
built into the mixer also takes advantage
of this fluidized zone, and
prevents agglomeration during the
drying process. - Dinnissen B.V.,

Mix solids of modest bulk
density with this ribbon blender
The 42B Model Ribbon Blenders
(photo) are used for blending of powders
or other solid raw materials with
a bulk density of 35 lb/ft3 or lower. The
blender features stainless-steel wetted
parts (polished to 60-grit finish);
