Dual-Outlet, Heavy-Duty Volumetric Feeder
Metalfab’s dual-outlet, heavy-duty volumetric feeder, in conjunction with the Metalfab Posibin, meters powder with near gravimetric accuracy. Eliminates downtime disassembling upstream/downstream equipment to reclaim unused material. A flip of the switch reverses the feeder screw to empty your bin and receive the reclaimed material back into inventory. Stainless steel; mill finish; Ø4-Ø16 in.; manual or automated discharge valves on each outlet.

Condux Impact Mill
Booth 152 - The Condux impact mill is a highspeed fine impact mill for the dry grinding of various products up to a Mohs hardness of 3-3,5. The diversity of grinding tools allow the mill to be used universally depending on the application and area of operation. This also applies when circumstances such as product characteristics or requirements have changed. The grinding tools can easily be changed as well. Depending on the application and product, the mill is equipped with differing rotor and stator variations and can be operated as any of the following mill types: pin mill, blast mill, beater mill, or attrition disc mill. One design variant with two housing doors can be used either as a single rotor or a counter-rotating pin mill.

Vertical Form, Fill & Seal Metal Detector
Booth 147 – Eriez offers a new and improved Xtreme vertical form, fill & seal (VFS) metal detector. This compact unit requires no metal-free area above or below the sensing head, making it ideal for installation in the space-restricted area before the hopper and forming tube. The new and improved unit eliminates the need for costly modifications and plastic hoppers. With its design, this metal detector connects directly to a customer’s existing stainless steel hopper and forming tube with simple Jacobs connectors. The metal detector meets stringent standards for food processing environments and offers high sensitivity. Suitable for washdown, it detects millimeter-sized metal spheres and feature food grade pipe and stainless-steel construction. It is available in 3-, 4-, 6-, 8-, and 10-in. aperture sizes to meet practically any application need.

Industrial-Grade Magnetic Separation
Booth 121 - Industrial Magnetics Inc. (IMI) offers a variety of industrial-grade magnetic separation solutions for removing large to fine metal particles from mechanically conveyed and gravity-flow processing streams. These magnets can be placed before and/or after mechanical conveyors to protect equipment and purify product, including the drawer-in-housing, the large tube housing, the OX, and the RotoDrawer. Every product features the new Opti Series of magnetic circuit choices, ranging from 52-55 MGOe, as well as gauss and mechanical wearability ranges designedto meet and address the exact needs of all applications. IMI considers processing conditions like high moisture content, particle size and abrasiveness, bridging, galling, temperature extremes and humidity levels when recommending a magnet.

High-Efficiency Industrial Grinder
Booth 261 - Szego Materials Engineering Inc. produces three sizes of The Szego Mill, a high efficiency industrial grinder. It offers 30x greater volume capacity of a similar-sized ball mill, using up to 50% less power. The Szego Mill is a modular unit and allows tool-free maintenance, cleaning, and swapping of parts to change between jobs in minutes. Customizable grinding rollers with an average 10-year lifespan give fine control over particle output size and distribution. There is no grinding media to replace. Invented in 1971 by Laszlo Szego, this machine has been heavily developed and refined over the last four decades by Dr. Prof. Olev Trass of the University of Toronto Applied Chemical Engineering Dept. Although never previously commercialized, the Szego Mill has been the subject of more than 20 commercial pilot projects throughout the world. These have resulted in more than 30 patents and over 100 published research papers that conclude that the Szego Mill offers high cost savings and return-on-investment when used with materials ranging from coal and oil fuels, to pulp and paper; anaerobic digestion of wastes; protein, oil, and mineral extraction; food processing and more.
