Latest Development in Laboratory
Scale Mixing
Cheshire, UK -- Working together,
Vectura Limited, one of the most progressive research companies in
the field of drug delivery systems, and Hosokawa Micron Limited, the
world leader in powder and particle processing, have developed the
latest in high intensity laboratory mixers with dry coating
capabilities.
Operating
at the University of Bath, Vectura Limited takes an innovative
approach to the development of novel powders with tailored
properties by investigating equipment used in other industrial
areas. It is through this that they have developed a strong
relationship with Hosokawa Micron Limited.
The new 1-liter Cyclomix has been
developed for use with high value ingredients or where the amount of
product available for trial is small. Vectura will use the Cyclomix
with process quantities as low as 20 cc in the creation of new
generation powders for improved delivery of active ingredients.
Ordered mixing and continuous coating that can be achieved with the
Cyclomix has allowed significant improvement in flow properties and
dispersibility.
The Hosokawa Cyclomix is used
extensively in the chemical and cosmetics industry for reliable
intensive mixing where consistent results of color intensity and
homogeneity are essential. The new 1-litre Cyclomix will prove a
valuable tool in development of new and existing products.

Value-Priced
New Versatile RF Capacitance Level
Sensor
Elburn, IL - Monitor Technologies is
launching the NEW TrueCap Model MK-2e. Featuring a new look, this RF
Capacitance sensor has been redesigned as a value-priced and
versatile point level control.
Ideal
for almost any point level application, the Model MK-2e has several
standout features including a high sensitivity of 0.5pF and buildup
immunity. The MK-2e is one of the only integral sensor units
available that will accept 24VDC as its operating voltage.
Approvals are often an important
factor when selecting a level control. The MK-2e caries the CE Mark
on all Ordinary location units. For Hazardous locations, the MK-2e
is available with both Class I and II approvals allowing one model
to serve virtually any application. Both the Ordinary and Hazardous
location units are CSA(US/C) approved.
Check out the MK-2e's new look! The

Mr. Savarese wants toll milling
for food product:
Looking for contract milling - prefer
temperature control for a food product.
(Click

We produce N. P. K fertilizer (
19:19:19) grade. In the process some off-spec material (generated in
the plant due to process upsets) of about 2 to 3 tons per hour is to
to reprocessed in the plant. This material has a low critical
humidity of about 50% at 30 deg. C, is hygroscopic, forms lumps and
is sticky.
Our present system for conveying is
by bucket elevator and belt conveyor. Material is fed to the bucket
elevator by Showel loaders at intervals which gives shock and
uncontrolled flow in the elevator. The material also gets stuck in
the equipment.
We would like to know about a
suitable equipment to feed this sticky product at a constant rate of
2 to 3 tonnes per hour and convey from ground floor to processing
section at higher elevation. I await your advice.
