FEI Company
Booth 4923
The FEI Phenom is the first “Point and Shoot” scanning electron microscope (SEM) that can be used in almost any location and does not require specialized facilities or highly skilled operators. With useful magnifications as high as 20,000X, the system far exceeds the capabilities of the best optical microscopes and eliminates much of the expense, delay and difficulty associated with conventional SEM. Rather than sending samples out to a centralized SEM lab or commercial service provider and waiting days or weeks for results, pharmaceutical researchers and developers can accelerate development at a lower cost than the outsourced alternative.

Multi-Point Grounding Prevents Powder-Handling Static Ignition
For powder-handling plants with several potentially isolated conductive parts, the Earth-Rite® Multipoint system from Newson Gale Inc., prevents static ignition in any/all of the various components. Intrinsically safe/ATEX approved, the Earth-Rite® Multipoint provides individual status indications or can be linked to a “lock-out” control system, preventing operation of equipment until proper grounding is achieved. This system ensures elements are connected together and safely grounded, providing up to eight interconnected channels from a single intrinsically safe supply. It produces positive outputs, with individual indications, only when the resistance to ground is less than 10 ohms.

Premier Pneumatics Inc.
Booth 1328
NEW Premier Pneumatics ProBlendTM Zone Blender: Premier Pneumatics introduces its ProBlendTM Zone Blender for blending or homogenizing free flowing bulk material within a hopper or silo. With its special geometric shape, the compact and simple Zone Blender provides multiple flow zones in which the material can pass through at different velocities and residence times. As a result, the discharged material contains a uniformed blend of material from the hopper or silo. The Zone Blender uses a combination of mass flow (first in / first out) with funnel flow (last in / last out) to help homogenize the blend and reduce the effect of segregation in re-circulating, batch or continuous systems, or any application requiring the blending of materials.

SilentFlow® Bin Dischargers are replacing existing silo cones and live bottom vibrating bin dischargers for reliable discharge of cohesive materials like TiO2, pigments and clays. The SilentFlow® Bin Discharger uses Trans-Flow® fluidizing media to condition the material to greatly reduce its internal friction angle. This allows the powder to freely discharge from cone openings as small as 4-in diameter. With no moving parts, no vibration, no inlet or outlet socks, no stress cracking of your silo or bin cone and; the SilentFlow® Bin Discharger is quiet and reduces your maintenance costs.
