Company meets demanding requirements of dairy and baby food industry The Hydrohansu-type rotating cleanflow magnet recently introduced by Goudsmit Magnetic Systems BV of Waalre (NL) was developed in collaboration with producers of top-tier food products. The driving force was a pressing need for removal of very fine iron (Fe), AISI 304 and 316L particles in the dairy industry, for products such as baby food, yet it is also suitable for use in the sugar and lactose industry. Rotating magnets prevent the accumulation of fatty powders on the magnetic bars and guarantee a high level of separation. The new magnet system is hygienically designed in accordance with the EHEDG guidelines and can be cleaned semi-automatically. Hygienic design The single-piece, hydroformed housing is made entirely of grade 316 stainless steel and therefore has no dead ends, sharp corners or welded seams, which prevents bacterial growth. The complete system has a high quality surface finish (Ra ≤ 0.6 µm). The magnet rotor has pneumatically operated

DMN-WESTINGHOUSE have upgraded their PTD plug type diverter. The new PTD is of an improved, user friendly design, pressure shock resistant up to 10 bar (size 200 excluded) and suitable for pressures up to 3 bar g. Value engineering has resulted in improved specifications and a more competive price of the diverter, now available in 7 consecutive sizes from 50 to 200 mm pipe diameter. The design of the PTD plug type diverter conforms to all current legislation regarding safety in the workplace. Consequently there are no moving parts on the outside. The new PTD is of an improved, user friendly design, pressure shock resistant up to 10 bar (size 200 excluded) and suitable for pressures up to 3 bar g (standard static seals). The sizes 50-150 are optionally available for pressures up to 6 bar g (inflatable seals). The DMN-WESTINGHOUSE PTD plug type diverter has been specially designed to route powders and pellets with minimum degradation in pneumatic conveying systems.
