a long service life and are resistant
to vibration and impact. With the
use of these luminaires, no heat radiation
is directed into the process

Knead and blend
high-viscosity materials
The Model DKL double-arm kneader
(photo) has a forged stainless-steel
bowl and high-pressure, high-temperature
jackets that are used for
kneading high-viscosity materials into
a homogeneous blend. The novel
forged-bowl technology provides
improved mechanical integrity and
durability, says the manufacturer.
Standard capacities vary from 1.5
to 9 quarts, and custom sizes can
be manufactured to fit any process.

Dry vacuum pumps for
chemicals and pharmaceuticals
The CXS chemical dry-vacuum pump
offers high reliability and effluent-free
pumping, even in the most difficult
and harsh chemical and pharmaceutical
processing applications. The
pump is simple to install and integrate
with an existing system. According
to the manufacturer, the pump has
a minimum 25-yr design service life,
with 5-yr service intervals, and no routine
maintenance is required. Due to
their dry-run technology, these lowvibration,
quiet-operating pumps do
not generate any contaminated oil
that must be disposed of. Booth 448

Quickly monitor flammable
gases and vapors
PrevEx flammability analyzers (photo)
monitor flammable gases and vapors
in process ovens, dryers, kilns and
oxidizers. The devices measure total
flammability with a 1-s response time
and reduced ventilation-air requirements.
These heated, standalone
analyzers have a low-maintenance,
failsafe design. They provide consistent
and reliable readings even when
faced with multiple or changing solvent
concentrations. The analyzers'
lower energy consumption reduces
fuel costs and improves production
rates, while complying with necessary
safety directives. Booth 807 - Control
Instruments Corp., Fairfield, N.J.

Simplify vessel opening with
these screw clamps
This company's segmented pressurevessel
screw clamps (photo) are intended
for use on high-pressure vessels,
filter housings, manways and
more. They eliminate the need for drilling
bolt-holes in flanges and reduce
opening and closing requirements
for the covers and flanges on which
they are mounted. The clamps also
decrease the time to open and close
the vessels, housings and manways.

Control Instruments
Built-in flow-based valve
control with this meter
The Model 106-SPI-MV is a single-point-insertion
electromagnetic
flowmeter, installed and calibrated
in conjunction with this company's
control valves. This provides an accurate
flowrate that can be utilized
with the metering valve as a standalone
option or built into a pilot system
to provide complete flow-based
valve control. A water application
provides a ±2% flowrate accuracy.
Also included are complete pressure
control, tank level control and pump
control with integral flow metering
on valves ranging from 3 to 48-in. in
size. Booth 708 - Singer Valve LLC,

A dryer with integrated
solvent recovery
The H-10 Turbo-Dryer (photo) dries
water or solvent-based wet organic
chemicals, metal compounds, food
additives and ceramic products. The
dryer operates continuously with a nitrogen
recycle process to evaporate
and recover solvents. It dries to levels
as low as 0.01% without the need
for a vacuum, and handles fragile
crystals and preformed pellets withChemiCal
