Low shear mixing of highly viscous materials
Ross double planetary mixers are capable of processing highly viscous substances and composite materials with uncompromised shear-sensitivity, due in part to a new high viscosity blade design.
Graphene water filter built with bacteria kills bacteria
The anti-fouling membrane is composed of bacterial nanocellulose and reduced graphene oxide.
Reducing fuel costs in process ovens and dryers
Many manufacturing processes use chemical solvents to produce products. As a result, hot air dryers are frequently used to evaporate those solvents.
Lee Plug expansion plugs
Lee Plug expansion plugs seal fluid passages without the use of O-rings, threads or sealants.
