The company manufactures inline high shear mixers for versatile usage in a wide range of dispersion, emulsification and homogenization requirements. Portable, explosion-proof models are available and can be supplied with a NEMA 7/9 operator station prewired and mounted to the mobile mixer cart. Controls can be customized to include a viewing window for process variables and intrinsically safe thermocouple (attached to the motor’s internal thermal switch). Kalrez elastomers make the rotor/stator mixer suitable for use in extreme-duty processes with chemically aggressive fluids. All stainless steel construction, sanitary tri-clamp connections, 3A stamp, double mechanical seal, washdown motor and other options are also available.

BioSpray-5 is a lightweight, ultra-portable surface sanitation system that is made to disinfect surfaces against bacteria and viruses. Suitable for applications where continuous cleaning is required, there is a need to turn around space quickly, and areas where sensitive electronic equipment is present. The system includes a CO2-based propelled system that provides better coverage than traditional pump sprayers while using less chemical volume. Due to its quick-drying characteristics, it is also safe for use around water-sensitive equipment and machinery, making it suitable for disinfecting a range of food and non-food surfaces throughout the plant.

SaniZap is designed to safely sanitize almost any surface, leaving no residue, moisture or harmful chemicals. The process is suitable for following CDC guidelines that call for frequent sanitization. Portable equipment is available in different models to accommodate a range of facilities and price points. The SaniZap-1 is a handheld unit, while the SaniZap-4 is a powerful, multipurpose cleaning tool on wheels that can be used at lower steam temperatures with soap or detergent to quickly clean visible dirt and grime, and can also be used at higher steam temperatures for anti-microbial sanitizing.

The Tufftalk M headset incorporates Mesh Intercom technology to provide expanded team coverage, while integrated hearing protection safeguards plant employees from damaging noise. Full duplex technology enables hands-free, natural communication across multiple teams. High-definition audio eliminates hand signals and mask removal. Tufftalk M headsets have a noise reduction rating of 26 dB. They are available in over-the-head and hard hat versions.

PitMaster II is designed to help facilities save energy and keep out contaminants by providing a seal at the “fourth side” of the loading dock opening. Utilizing a main sealing curtain, side seals and filler panels, the PitMaster II seal helps maintain facility cleanliness and improve energy efficiency at the dock. The sealer incorporates new design elements that complement an array of dock leveler types and styles, and make it easier to install and maintain. Black vinyl curtain is secured to the dock leveler and follows its motion to seal the front of the leveler pit from side to side and bottom to top when the leveler is operated. Components work together to help prevent dust, pests, debris and other contaminants from collecting in leveler pits and potentially gaining entrance to the facility through open gaps.

Lite-N-Tite upright brooms are made with a patented heat-fused fiber design to eliminate premature fiber fallout and areas for contaminants to collect. Durable polypropylene fiber maintains shape over time, is non-conductive and chemical resistant. Available in 8 colors to isolate work areas and reduce the risk of cross-contamination in your facility. Made in the USA with FDA-approved materials. Perfex

MG10 is a versatile, high-performance, easy to use magnetic gripper for material handling, assembly and machine tending applications, including food manufacturing. Designed to be compatible with all major robot brands through the company’s One System Solution, the gripper offers adjustable force and grip detection features that provide users with control. New features eliminate dropped parts, and the unit comes with built-in grip and sensors for part detection.

Four-axis PL190 and PL320 models join the company’s PL500 robot, enabling a range of palletizing applications, order picking and other logistical tasks. Suitable for end-of-line or distribution automation, PL-series robots move boxes and fill pallets with ease and precision. The PL190 has a 190 kg payload capacity, and the PL320 has a 320 kg payload capacity. Each robot features a 3,159 mm horizontal reach, 3,024 mm vertical reach and ±0.05 repeatability. A one-piece upper arm is designed to reduce mass and increases durability, while parallel-link construction for strength and heavy-duty bearings for smooth arm rotation support the handling of large, heavy payloads. The robots can be floor-mounted, and brakes are included on all axes. yaskawa
