Synchronous sheeter

With rotating top and bottom knife drums, the Synchro synchronous sheeter from Jagenberg achieves a maximum cut frequency of 200 per minute. Operating at a maximum speed of 100 m/min without overlapping and 200 m/min with overlapping, it provides length accuracy of 1 mm up to a 1,000 mm sheet length. Simplex-type Synchro sheeters come in working widths of 1,650 mm, 2,150 mm, and 2,800 mm. Jagenberg

 Bonnet assembly

A new point-of-use Hot Lockout bonnet assembly is available from
ITT Engineered Valves. This assembly physically locks out a manual valve, preventing operators from opening the valve when process fluid temperature
is over 120F and avoiding operator injury. The Hot Lockout bonnet assembly is available in PAS in sizes 0.50 in., 0.75 in., and 1.00 in. Stainless steel bonnets are also available. ITT Engineered Valves

 Portable moisture tester

The PMT-220 portable moisture sensor combines a patented resonant frequency technique with phase-lock
loop technology, a 16-bit microprocessor, and nonvolatile memory. The PMT-220R incorporates roller electrodes for round products (paper rolls), while the PMT-220B uses a flat plate electrode for webs and board products. Both versions operate at temperatures from 32F to 130F.

 Surface and sizing tester

The EST surface and sizing tester measures the wettability and water absorption of internal-as well as surface-sized-paper and board. After less than one minute, the determined parameters shown on the display offer results comparable to time-consuming methods such as the drop angle method. Simple sample preparation and good reproducibility make the EST well-suited for onsite quality control. Muetek Analytic Inc.

 Cylindrical laboratory coater

The CLC-6000 cylindrical laboratory coater can minimize uncertainties of trials with new materials. Within minutes of coating preparation, operators can have a coated sample
in their hands. The CLC-6000 applies coatings at production speeds and weights. Each test produces up to
30 ft of 5-in.-wide samples. Only one gallon of coating and only 11 ft of
basestock are required for a test.

 Surfactants

Nonatell surfactants are effective in both wash and flotation deinking processes. In the wash process, ink particles are dispersed in the process water and carried through the system. In the flotation system, larger ink particles are collected on air bubbles, trapped on the surface, and then separated from the pulp slurry. These surfactants can provide high brightness and low yield loss without increasing ink particle count and foam. Shell Chemical Co.

 Shredding system

This airless transport shredding (ATS) system is designed to reduce and transport waste paper products for baling, without the use of air for material delivery post-shredder discharge. It offers reduced horsepower needs, ferrous removal prior to baling, and the ability to process multiple waste paper grades through a single system. Cores and white waste rolls process as easily as lighter, bulk form materials. Materials Processing Inc.
