Berkshire Grey launches robotic product sortation solution
The RPS systems autonomously pick, sort and pack millions of items a month with higher speed and throughput while increasing fulfillment by up to two times without adding labor.
Hazards of 3D printing
The biggest hazards produced by 3D printing can be broken down into two main groups: ultrafine particulate emissions and volatile organic compound emissions.
Putting ocean plastic to good use: Powering cleanup vessels
Converting retrieved waste into oil via hydrothermal liquefaction eliminates the need for land disposal of some of the plastic and can markedly reduce shipboard fossil fuel use and attendant emissions.
Kinetic Water Ram – clear clogged drains fast!
A compact, lightweight tool for quickly opening clogged sinks, toilets and tubs from General Pipe Cleaners.
Video: A hot approach to mining urban waste for precious metals
A process previously demonstrated to produce graphene from waste food and plastic has been extended to the extraction of metals from electronic waste.
Video: Compact limit switch optimizes hydropower plant process flow
The vibration sensor and compact limit switch improve wood chip conveyance efficiency at a hydropower plant.
Video: Liquid metal-based continuous flow reactor lacks moving parts
Use of liquid metals could lead to the elimination of moving parts in continuous flow reactors and provide improved performance and reduced maintenance costs.
Aerzen blowers improve efficiency for treatment of pulp and paper wastewater
Aerzen blowers and compressors can be used to efficiently treat wastewater in the pulp and paper industry.
Reimagine fluid handling with the new Masterflex MasterSense L/S peristaltic pump
This pump is ideal for research and process with flow-driven technology that supports precision dispensing.
Automated route to pharma compound production
The method can potentially be used for molecules typically produced via manual processes, thereby reducing the manpower required.
Warren Controls Series 2900 control valves for process and utility applications
The equal percentage plugs in the two-way valves and the linear plugs in the three-way valves deliver superior modulating control for a wide variety of fluids.
Compact sanitary mixers upgraded for diverse applications
Applications include blending liquids, dissolving or suspending solids, reactions, fermentation, crystallization, high shear mixing with size reduction, or stirring.
CMCO reveals Duff-Norton SPA linear actuator with added smarts
The SPA with Intelli-Motion has been specially engineered with an integrated VFD and onboard I/O, which reduces installation costs as well as overall system footprint.
Crane unveils FK-TrieX full port triple offset isolation valves for severe service
Crane FK-TrieX severe service isolation valves can help to prevent serious incidents such as fire, explosions and leakages, and eliminates the risk to health and safety of employees, assets and surrounding communities.
AI boosts water desalination efficiency
An artificial intelligence (AI)-based method streamlines graphene membrane design for reverse osmosis desalination applications.
The ACS Multi-Port rotary valve for high-volume applications and independent feeds
The Multi-Port Series features trough-style openings that can be designed to fit dust collectors, hoppers, bins, silos and screw conveyors.
Fixed-film treatment process reduces sludge management issues for smaller flow wastewater applications
Biological treatment systems for small communities and commercial properties are commonly scaled-down versions of the activated sludge process, but a self-regulating, fixed-film activated sludge treatment process is often required and employed in these applications.
Tough on pump clogs: Prison facility eliminates submersible clogs with new above grade lift station
When a correctional facility underwent a capacity expansion, changes to its submersible sewage pumping station coincided, resulting in a new approach to combatting the ills of prison sewage pump clogs.
The new eccentric screw pump from Lutz proves handy for the transfer of viscous media
Using the effective positive displacement design principle, the pump permits gentle, low-pulsation product handling which is highly advantageous for shear-sensitive media and liquids with solids content.
KSB presents a new generation of submersible motor pumps
KSB Group recently launched the latest addition to its submersible grey water pump portfolio — the AmaDrainer 3 type series.
