Ashworth’s
Omni-Pro FlexLite belt is designed for conveying pans and trays and has been
tested to withstand tensions of 400 lb. for 100,000 cycles. The Omni-Pro
FlexLite retains the same Omni-Pro design features that minimize maintenance
costs and downtime in the most demanding spiral applications. Meanwhile, the
FlexLite has an open surface area of 90% in a straight run and 87% in spiral or
turn-curve applications, resulting in a lightweight belt with increased
carrying capacity that cools/freezes foods faster.

The Jerome
J605 Hydrogen Sulfide Analyzer from Arizona Instrument comes with significant
performance enhancements and new features that make this system an alternative
to detect, measure and report levels of hydrogen sulfide vapor for
environmental, industrial and wastewater treatment measurements. The J605 has
an accuracy of ±1 ppb at the calibration of 5 ppb, matching EPA requirements
for hydrogen sulfide testing. Additionally, the J605 is housed in a lighter and
more ergonomically designed case, and the upgraded gold film sensor provides
longer life. Operators also will find this analyzer easier to use and maintain
thanks to the larger display, onboard data logging, auto zeroing and
battery-powered sensor regeneration.

The Ross
VersaMix (Triple Shaft Mixer) from Charles Ross is now available with a
solid/liquid injection manifold, or S.L.I.M. system. Designed for multiple
mixing requirements such as high-speed dispersion, emulsification and particle
size reduction, the S.L.I.M. system injects materials directly into the
rotor/stator agitator of the VersaMix. The strong vacuum force of the high
shear mixer sucks in powders or liquids for immediate dispersion or
emulsification, resulting in instantaneous wet-out, a lower mixing time and a
minimized volume of airborne particles from powder dusting.

Technology has designed a printer applicator corner-wrap labeling system that
does not require factory air. Instead, vacuum is created by an electric fan to
hold the label in place prior to label application. After the label is printed
using a thermal transfer print engine, the label is held onto a pivoting vacuum
grid attached to a follow-along roller. This labeling module applies the label
to the side and around the leading corner of a case or carton as the box
travels along a conveyor.

Wilmington
Machinery rolled out new models of its PALLATEER Plastic Pallet Molding Systems.
For instance, the Pallateer System PM-2 operates with a single-stack injection
mold and maintains production rates up to 450,000 single-deck nestable pallets,
as well as 225,000 double-deck, two-piece pallets, per year. Likewise, the
Pallateer System PM-4 operates with two-stack molds and produces up to 900,000
single-deck nestable or 450,000 double-deck pallets. Both models use stack mold
technology to increase production at a lower investment and with decreased
floor space, utilities and labor.
