The ROSS Model HSM-405SC-25 is an inline high shear rotor/stator mixing system incorporating SLIM (Solids/Liquid Injection Manifold) Technology. Unlike conventional eductors, the unique SLIM rotor/stator generates a powerful vacuum without the aid of external pumps and pulls powders directly into the mix chamber, promoting instantaneous wet out under high shear conditions. Mounted on a multipurpose skid with load cells, actuated valves and level switches, the pictured HSM-405SC-25 recirculates into a 400-gallon jacketed tank and is controlled from a 15” industrial PC with Windows.
Schenck Process has developed a method to "enhance" the operation of a dilute phase convey system by minimizing the speed of the blower under all operating conditions. EDIP translates the performance of the equipment being used into a tangible conveying velocity set by the user.
The Delta Blower Generation 5 is the synthesis of the successful characteristics developed in previous generations combined with new technical innovations that already meet the market requirements of the future. Aerzener Maschinenfabrik was the first blower manufacturer to design compact units in 1960 and has developed this machine type continuously ever since. Delta Blower Generation 5 is therefore already the 5th generation of AERZEN blower units and represents the successful combination of tradition and innovation.
About 90% of a compressor’s life cycle costs go to energy use*. A huge challenge, especially where ecological demands and global competition requires the globalisation of potential of the whole company. AERZEN is meeting this challenge with energy savings of up to 15%. Which means the investment will pay for itself after only two years, depending on the volume streams and pressures involved. That’s the Delta Hybrid.
