FEATURE: LATEST MILLING TECHNOLOGY

has an integrated metal detector that
features a straightforward operating
system that quickly guides the user
through set-up and operation. Designed
for intuitive use, the effectiveness and
ease of use make this metal detector
the premier choice for manufacturers
unwilling to compromise on product
safety or quality.
MILLGUARD PRO
Burnaby, British Columbia, Canadabased CMC Industrial Electronics designed its Millguard Pro roll stand monitoring system to monitor the temperature
of the main bearings and also the roll
surface on flour milling roll stands. The
system continuously monitors the temperature and provides real-time feedback
and can be set up to alarm and shut down
when a fault condition occurs.
On each roll stand the CMC system
continuously monitors the following
points: eight main bearings and four roll
surface temperature points. All sensors
will be mounted in protective housings
appropriate for the harsh, dusty environments that exist in flour mills. Bearing
sensors attach directly to the bearing

housing using the existing brass zerk fitting and infrared (IR) roll temperature
sensors attach directly to the roll stand
casing using a rubber grommet.
CMC said that all sensors come

supplied with 6.5 feet (2 meters) of
durable cable and an industrial RJ11
connector for easy installation and replacement. The company noted that
its roll stand monitoring system is designed with the end user in mind and
requires minimal training to install,
set up and operate.
BULLET MAGNET
Industrial Magnetics designed its
Bullet Magnet with an aerodynamic
shape with a solid stainless steel nose
cone diverter and a flow-thru design to
maintain uniform velocity in-line flow,
allowing it to be used anywhere in the
pneumatic system. The Boyne City,
Michigan-U.S. based company said the
Bullet Magnet is commonly used ahead
of processing equipment and bulk loadout to assure product purity and protect
machinery
from
tramp metal damage. Ideal for dilute
phase systems, typical Bullet Magnet
applications
include movement of
powder and granular, flour, chemical,
plastic, food stuff,
pharmaceutical and
mineral materials.
Bullet Magnet
Now designed
with 52 MgOe Rare Earth magnet
material, Industrial Magnetics said its
Bullet Magnet provides an exceptionally powerful magnet field to capture
fine particle ferrous or weakly magnetic contaminants that were previously unattainable.
The company said the new EZ-Clean
Stripper Collar allows for fast cleaning
and removal of collected tramp metal.
Easily installed with compression type
couplings, the Bullet Magnet is available in sizes ranging from 3 to 8 inches
in diameter, with custom sizing and options available upon request.
KICE VJH AIRLOCK
Kice Industries, Wichita, Kansas,
U.S., is now offering a new VJH

Rotary Airlock designed for high pressure pneumatic conveying systems.
The airlock's new patent-pending

VJH Rotary Airlock

seal design allows units to be applied
on higher pressure systems, up to 15
PSIG. This is in contrast to 8 PSIG on
current VJ models. Temperature range
is wider as well from -40 degrees F to
225 degrees F.
The valves feature a proprietary bearing and seal cartridge that allows replacement of vital components without
disassembling the entire unit.
The design of the system allows the
changing of bearings and seals by removing the cartridge from exterior of
body and installing new cartridge. This
allows users to not have to disassemble
the valve and change the bearing and
seals from the inside of valve.
VALVE BAG PACKAGING
Conyers, Georgia, U.S.-based Haver
Filling System's valve bag packaging
system can be used as a replacement
for the well-known open mouth bags.
The company said that because the cost
difference has essentially disappeared,
valve bag packaging systems are now
a more feasible option than they were
in the past.
Haver said that advancements in valve
bags and valve bag packaging machine
technology has created cost-savings for
manufacturers in the form of decreased
cleaning, more accurate filling and dosing, more secure seals, more efficient
palletizing and storage, and increased
packaging speeds.
