Improved sealing makes this
heat exchanger more efficient
Thanks to a patent-pending sealing
concept, the new Compabloc+ heat
exchanger (photo) ensures safe operation
with no risk of media leaks
at pressures up to 60 bars - representing
a 20-bar increase over previous
Compabloc models. The sealing
concept is a first-of-its-kind for
bloc-type heat exchangers, featuring
a fully-confined graphite gasket,
rather than a traditional flat gasket.
This change makes it possible for
Compabloc+ to safely handle higher
operating pressures than possible in
the past, while simultaneously simplifying
maintenance by protecting
against overtightening and creeping.
Compabloc+ is a more energy-efficient
alternative to traditional shelland-tube
heat exchangers and can
replace up to four shell-and-tube
units for the same duty, according to
the manufacturer. - Alfa Laval AB,

A conveyor designed to handle
hazardous materials
This company's Tubular Chain Conveyor
(photo) reliably contains dusty
and hazardous materials, safeguarding
workers at the same time as protecting
the conveyed material from
external influences. It is also resistant
against internal pressure buildup and
helps to contain propagating flame,
making it suitable for handling potentially
explosive chemicals. By using a
low-horsepower motor, energy consumption
is considerably less than
traditional pneumatic conveyors.
Constructed from chemical-grade
stainless steel and other FDA-approved
components, the conveyor
comprises a fixed drive and tension
assembly, which automatically tensions
the chain continuously during
the process and regulates it according
to friction, product flow and
variation in atmospheric or product
temperature. - Luxme International
