Cantilevered Brush Style Belt Cleaner
------------------------------------------------------------
Conveyor Components Co. is pleased to announce a cantilevered
brush style conveyor belt cleaner to their product line.
The Model BRC is an efficient way to remove fines and
carry-back material from a conveyor belt. This revolutionary
new version allows the user to perform the installation,
adjustment and service from one side of the conveyor.
The Model BRC utilizes proven brush cleaning technology.
This conveyor belt cleaner uses an electric motor to drive
a helical shaped, open face brush to remove build-up from
conveyor belts. The mounting flange allows for chute
installation, or the unit can be installed on the conveyor
framework. When mounted under the head pulley, the excess
material is thrown into the discharge stream. The brush is
self-cleaning and will not clog or load. Standard nylon
bristles are durable, long lasting and easy to replace
when required.
Since being established in 1965, Conveyor Components
Company has been manufacturing conveyor belt controls and
conveyor belt cleaners for the bulk handling and processing
industries. Customers depend on Conveyor Components Company
for quality engineered products at an economical price.
Controls include safety stop switches, belt alignment
controls, motion controls, conveyor belt rip detectors,
bulk level controls, and bin level aerators. Our conveyor
belt cleaners include the top-of-the-line brush cleaner
to the more prudent single or multi-blade cleaners.

Collette Ultima Single-Pot Processor for Pharmaceutical Development
------------------------------------------------------------
Columbia, MD - As a result of its parent company GEA-AG's
acquisition of the Pharmaceutical Division of GEI International
plc, Niro Inc. now offers the Collette Ultima single pot
processor. The Ultima is especially designed for pharmaceutical
research and development.
The Ultima processing system utilizes a single container for
mixing, granulating, drying, coating, and pelletizing. It
provides high containment for enhanced operator safety, especially
when processing highly potent or toxic formulations. Its compact
size takes up minimal floor space, and the Ultima 25 is easily
moveable, small enough to fit through a standard door. Its
CIP capability allows decreased cleaning times for quicker
changeover.
The Ultima is the first single-pot processor to combine a
swinging bowl and microwave drying in an efficient and safe
way. The use of microwaves during the drying process ensures
fast and even drying of granules. The swinging bowl increases
the available contact surface between the granulate and jacket,
resulting in faster drying.
Niro Inc. is an international company specializing in the
development, design, and engineering of liquid and powder
processing equipment for the manufacture of products in liquid,
powder, granulate, agglomerate, or tablet form. Niro products
include spray dryers and coolers, fluid bed systems, evaporators,
packaging equipment, homogenizers, membrane filtration systems,
and pharmaceutical processing systems.
