Today modern analytical instruments for particle characterisation for example can achieve previously unheard-of levels of precision. Verification limits of trace analysis in the p.p.m. (parts per million) or p.p.b. (parts per billion) range have now become standard. Unfortunately, it is frequently overlooked that the overall error in analysis is comprised of the measurement error of the analytic...

(Niederlenz/Switzerland January 23, 2008)— The K-Tron Process Group will show K-Trons latest invention, the ActiFlow, at Anuga FoodTec in Hall 10.1, booth G065. ActiFlow reliably prevents bridge building of cohesive bulk materials in stainless steel hoppers. For the majority of difficult flowing materials, ActiFlow will make common arch breakers obsolete when used in "loss in weight" (gravimetric) ...

In many laboratories, samples are still ground using a hand held pestle and mortar. Despite the fact that a better method has been available for many years: namely the Mortar Grinder PULVERISETTE 2. Thanks to the gentle grinding, one of the main applications for this mill is in the pharmaceutical industry for galenics to confirm the quantity of active ingredients in drugs (tablets and dragées)....

These upgrades reinforce the precisio...

Very hard material with a feed size < 100 mm can now be reduced in size to an ultimate fineness of 0.1 mm in a single operation. Wherever large pieces of brittle samples had to be prepared for analysis, many laboratories employed a jaw crusher such as FRITSCH's PULVERISETTE 1 for the pre-crushing stage, since the original feed size was too large to be handled by the final grinding mill. Previous...

Do you know who made the exhaust system for your car? Most likely it was Universal Industries in Estonia. The company has greatly expanded in recent years and currently supplies exhaust systems for a host of different car brands. And the parts are manufactured with the help of presses and automation equipment from AP&T. Universal Industries is something of a success story. The company began man...

Pressing sheet metal parts with complicated geometry, fine surfaces and narrow tolerances is usually a complicated process requiring expensive tools. That is, unless you use hydroforming with pressure dome. German metal former Walter Förster discovered the potential of this relatively simple method of making the impossible possible and therefore purchased a 400-ton AP&T press with associated pressu...
