Delkor Systems presents a new sanitary case packer that’s designed for optimal cleanability. The case packer ensures minimized horizontal surfaces, incorporates stand-off mounting of components for open access and comes with cross members to assist with complete drainage. It also features a quick, tool-less removal of parts for sanitary wash. As for electrical components, the servo motors, gear boxes and pneumatics are all IP-69K rated, which means that these components can receive direct contact from a high-pressure hose. Other features include NEMA 4X electrical enclosures with sloped tops, stainless steel conduit and sanitary ball feet and 100% stainless steel metal components with FDA-compliant plastic components.

Spirax Sarco redesigned its 0.5-inch FTS-150 and FTS-300 float and thermostatic steam trap series to replace the OK series from a mixed material trap with a forged steel cover and stainless body to all stainless steel. This trap series does not rust like cast iron or cast steel trap models and is corrosion resistant. With its single-seated mechanism, all models of the FTS series are modulating with 100% turndown ratio on both pressure and flow. The series also has a tight shut-off on no load, resulting in instantaneous response to condensate load changes. All thermostatic air vents operate up to 572°F and remove air rapidly on startup, making it water hammer resistant and capable of withstanding superheat. This series operates with no functional steam loss and does not require a water seal or prime to close.

The new SGi shaft grounding bearing isolator from Garlock Sealing Technologies protects bearings from electrical damage, lubricant loss and contamination. Maintenance-free, the SGi combines the proven technologies of the Garlock Guardian non-sparking bronze labyrinth seal and the Aegis shaft grounding ring in a single unit. It is ideally suited for motors controlled by variable frequency drives, running pumps, fans, high-speed spindles and other equipment in “severe-duty” applications. Designed for long-term total bearing protection, the SGi also provides an IP56 non-contact isolation seal that withstands dust and powerful jetting liquids. It easily replaces contact lip seals and traditional bearing isolators and withstands operating temperatures from –22°F to 300°F.

The Aegis SGR Bearing Protection Ring from Electro Static Technology protects the bearings of VFD-driven motors from electrical damage. Plus, the all-inclusive Aegis universal mounting kit (U-Kit) simplifies mounting on virtually any AC motor shaft. The ring’s conductive microfibers are securely embedded in the patented Aegis FiberLock channel and completely surround the motor shaft, providing millions of discharge points for harmful shaft currents. This unique design also creates the path of least resistance that effectively diverts these currents away from bearings to ground.

WCB Ice Cream introduces its upgraded lab ingredient feeder, designed for development and research purposes in laboratories where the demand for small capacities, adjustability of different parameters and repeatability of processes are important. The lab ingredient feeder is ideal for mixing dry and/or liquid ingredients such as nut crumbs, chocolate pieces, fruit syrup and variegates in small capacities into ice cream. The new design features easy start-up with very low raw material requirement and good scalability to full production. Plus, the unit is fully mobile and can fill 18-100 liters of ice cream per hour.

WeldSeal from Impco is a high-performance brush-on methacrylate compound formulated for sealing porosity in welds containing gases under pressure or liquids. WeldSeal’s low dynamic viscosity enables it to wick deeply into pores and seams and in between close-fitting ferrous metal surfaces. Cured WeldSeal forms a pressure-tight mass that withstands continuous service temperatures of up to 355° F. After WeldSeal cures, excess material on the surface is rinsed away with water, leaving the surface clean and ready for painting or other operations.

Ascentra sodium-reducing flavor enhancer from DairiConcepts is a convenient, clean-label powdered ingredient that naturally amplifies the perception of salt and other savory nuances as it lowers sodium content. Ascentra enhances existing savory flavors, yielding a richer, more rounded flavor than is available through traditional, all-salt formulations. Ascentra also provides opportunities to lower ingredient costs by replacing higher-cost ingredients with more economical ones. Made from a proprietary, whole milk-based fermentation process, Ascentra does not contain MSG, HVP or yeast extract. Although rich in potassium, it does not contain potassium chloride, eliminating metallic flavor notes.
