EDITOR’S CHOICE GoatThroat Pumps The SCP Pump Series for class 1 and 2 flammable liquids are durable, drip-proof, engineering controls to safely transfer flammable liquids from barrels and pails at the point of use. Created for the most demanding safety programs, the line is designed to minimize hazards associated with transferring flammable or combustible chemicals such as Acetone, MEK, alcohols, solvents and other volatile hydrocarbons.  As a sealed system, the SCP Line of Pumps provide spill-free, environmentally safe transfer with no chance for vapors and VOCs to escape the container. This significantly reduces the chance of an ignition event. By eliminating VOCs, drips and spills, these systems also reduce waste and improve safety for both employees and the environment.

The one-step injection molding process eliminates crystalline grain boundaries that create weak regions in your component. The parts are net-shape from the mold and require little post mold processing, unlike other metal molding or die casting processes. Parts molded with Liquidmetal hold tolerances of +/- 0.02mm per linear 25mm, with 1524 mPa and 53HRC. Amorphous molding produces parts with excellent corrosion resistance and pass ISO10933 Biocompatibility tests for the medical industry. We’re the experts at amorphous alloys. Contact us today to start designing parts that were previously not possible. www.liquidmetal.com Process, engineering and manufacturing PHOENIX County Metals are specialists in the recovery of Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium & Rhodium. Our own in house laboratory has a full range of analytical instrumentation that allows us to analyze your material promptly. Our key principle is that when possible, we sample and analyze prior to processing, agreeing expectations and charges with you before recovery begins. Malema Sensors expands its lineup of SumoFlo® CPFM-8100-Series Single-Use Flow Meters, a family of advanced flow meters for the biopharma industry with unmatched accuracy and measurement based on the Coriolis principle. SumoFlo® flow meters are capable of measuring flow rates from 0.5 g/min up to 100 kg/min with an accuracy within 1% of reading. New members of the product family include flow sensors enabling accurate measurement of extremely low flow rates – as low as 0.5 g/min. New electronics packages permit transmission of four simultaneous analog signals for mass flow rate, density, volumetric flow rate, and temperature. We would be pleased to discuss the material that you have and the various recovery options. Learn more at www.malema.com or email [email protected]. Whatever your manufacturing process, if the waste produced (solid, liquid or sludge) contains precious metals, it can be reclaimed, turning your waste into profit.

The switch to NSK Molded-Oil bearings immediately reduced maintenance costs and increased productivity, leading to total savings of approximately €9400 a year. NSK´s Molded-Oil bearings (stainless steel variant) are ideal for applications in food and beverage plants. Not only do they prevent the ingress of contaminants such as water and particulates, but no lubricant can escape the bearing and enter other parts of the machine, where it could conceivably contact food. Molded-Oil bearings are equipped with a proprietary oil-impregnated material that consists of lubricating oil and a polyolefin resin with an affinity for oil. This carrier material releases the lubricant continuously over a long period. For more information, visit www.nskeurope.com
