• • Gel electrolyte – easy to handle and low on maintenance, and Protective hard plastic cover for more safety and piece of mind. Mettler Toledo 614.438.4936 Columbus, OH www.mt.com and ReSeal® fittings for use in all stages of the dairy transfer process – from the dairy farms, to tanker trucks, to plant storage and within the plant itself. The crush-resistant Gladiator hoses are rated for highpressures. They guarantee a secure and flexible connection between systems and pipes for loading and unloading raw products in hightraffic areas. SGPPL’s ReSeal fittings are completely reusable and offer savings of up to 50% on standard replacement costs over time. SGPPL’s critical connections solutions for dairy transfer have been created with ease-of-use in mind. Designed for Clean-in-Place (CIP) convenience, no disassembly is required, minimizing operational downtime and associated costs. To ensure optimum performance under the high pressures and temperatures associated with dairy processing, SGPPL offers critical connections solutions that incorporate SaniGard® hosing and ReSeal fittings. SaniGard hoses are specifically designed for higher temperatures and demanding chemical applications. They can withstand frequent cleaning and sterilization-in-place (CIP and SIP) without imparting taste or odor. SGPPL’s critical connections solutions incorporate a range of Tygon®-branded tubing for use in beverage dispensing processes. These solutions minimize the potential for bacterial growth and promotes a sanitary fluid path thanks to a smooth, non-porous tubing surface that inhibits particle entrapment. It also protects flavor consistency of beverages – imparting no taste or odor of its own – while maintaining high performance and withstanding extreme temperatures, corrosion and varying pressures. Tygon tubing is both NSF listed under Standard 51 and also compliant with FDA regulations and meets the stringent, listed 3-A Plastics Standard Criteria.

riez® offers a wide range of electromagnetic cross feeders and conveyors designed for use in packaging applications. These high speed, high deflection and high volume vibratory cross feeders and conveyors distribute product into weigh scale equipment. Feeders can be equipped with a peripheral discharge to insure the best product distribution on the radial scale cone. Models are available to deliver nearly any capacity of material. Eriez’ HS (High-Speed) and HD (High Deflection) vibratory feeders featuring low energy, AC electromagnetic drives provide superior reliability, precise cycling and low operating cost. The high deflection series is recommended when feeding lightweight, loose or sticky materials where a higher deflection (3/16") and lower frequency (30 cps) produces more accurate feed characteristics. Both HS and HD series use the same style AC drive, enabling systems to cycle up to 100 times per minute.
