Advances in Low-Maintence Chemical Dosing

Increasing regulatory compliance in water and wastewater management, coupled with staffing challenges, requires investment in technology to help meet current and future requirements for environmental compliance and staff safety, as well as for mitigating reputational and financial risk. Dosing pump failure can have a significant negative impact on compliance, staffing, and operations.

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) developed the Qdos peristaltic pump to address these challenges. With their latest Qdos® CWT™ model, pumphead life is extended by up to four times as long as traditional pumps. Easily changeable pumpheads reduce labor and maintenance costs, and safety features built into the pump lower compliance violation risk.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Water and wastewater treatment challenges require continuous improvements in the technology used
  in the treatment process.
• Built in response to customer needs, Qdos revolutionized chemical metering.
• Watson-Marlow developed the Qdos CWT, a next-level peristaltic chemical metering pump.

FMX5 Laboratory Powder/Liquid Mixer

For mixing on a laboratory scale Silverson can now provide customers with the same powder/liquid mixing advantages as larger scale production with the introduction of the FMX5 to the product range. The FMX5 is a laboratory scale version of Silverson’s production scale Flashmix mixers and provides a simple, effective and hygienic means of powder/liquid mixing on a Laboratory scale. It is also able to process higher viscosity mixes. The FMX5 is suitable for small scale manufacturing and R&D work with a typical batch size of up to 10 litres, depending on viscosity. The mixer offers an accurate means of predicting the performance of the production scale Flashmix, making the scale-up process a simple task. The FMX5 offers proven performance on a wide range of powders including gums (CMC, Guar, Gum Arabic, Pectin, Xanthan), sugars, flours, milk powder, Carbopol, Bentonite and many others across a range of industries.

Readco’s Continuous Processors feature a design that allow safe operation while running on empty.

(Powder & Bulk Solids  — 4/30/2020)

These continuous processors feature a proprietary power transmission design and bearing configuration that allow safe operation while running on empty.

An upgrade versus extruders that must rely on the material to guard against metal to metal contact with the barrel, the continuous processors automatically prevent the mixing elements from contacting the barrel and eliminate risk of contamination from metal to metal contact to allow safe startup without any material in the process. By loading the recipe, raising the barrel temperature, and verifying the system settings while running empty, the continuous processor saves on both material and energy at every startup.

When shutting down for cleaning or maintenance, the continuous processors may be run on empty to allow the designed-in, self-wiping action of the mixing elements to automatically purge approximately 95% of the material from inside the mixing chamber. This advantage minimizes the need for chemical cleaning agents, offering cost savings and environmental protections in systems requiring solvents for cleaning.

Ideal for food, chemical, plastics, pharmaceutical, and other processors concerned about speeding production and reducing costs, the continuous processors are custom engineered for each installation to discharge a uniform, homogeneous end product that meets a variety of targeted specifications. The systems are designed based on product testing conducted on full-size equipment with customer formulations in the company’s on-site testing laboratory.

Taking a cue from the pharmaceutical industry, food and beverage processors can use these proven components to achieve better process isolation and containment.

Recalls and cross-contamination issues continue to plague food and beverage producers. Quite often, the problem can be traced back to a process step that is done in an open vessel. The pharmaceutical industry has addressed this by using closed vessels with magnetically driven agitators known as mag mixers, but the continued growth of the use of mag mixers is not limited to applications in the pharmaceutical market. There are also significant advantages in the food and beverage markets.

Mag mixers have been a staple in pharmaceutical processes since their inception, but there has always been an imaginary dividing line between the sanitary requirements in the pharmaceutical industry and those of other sanitary industries. For example, “clean” in the food and beverage industry isn’t the same as “clean” in the pharmaceutical industry. That line is becoming blurrier every day. Today, terms like ultraclean, ultrasanitary and hygienic are commonly used, but their interpretation seems to vary from one person to the next. Regardless of one’s interpretation, it is easy to see that the food and beverage industry is heading in the direction of the pharmaceutical industry in terms of sanitary practices. As product recalls grow more prevalent, the need for the industry to have isolation and containment during processing has never been more prominent.
