Clyde
Process Solutions acquires MAC Equipment
 Kansas
City, MO -- MAC Equipment, one of North America’s leading
providers of pneumatic conveying and air filtration
solutions, has entered an exciting new phase in its
development.
Last year, MAC Equipment was
acquired by Clyde Process Solutions Plc, a UK-listed company
who also own and operate Clyde Materials Handling, a leading
provider of pneumatic conveying and pneumatic injection
solutions targeted predominately at the metals and minerals
markets.
Clyde Process Solutions acquired
MAC Equipment in April 2007 and has now integrated the
conveying and injection technologies of Clyde Materials
Handling with MAC Equipment to establish a powerful provider
of process technologies for the North American market.
In an effort to strengthen MAC’s
position as a market leading provider of process solutions,
they have made the decision to enhance their brand and
identity. The new MAC Equipment brand retains the
characteristics that have helped build their business in the
process industry, while incorporating the brand assets
inherited from its parent company, Clyde Process Solutions.
MAC Equipment’s new brand was
launched at the PTXi Show in Chicago last month, which was
warmly received by all. Through the integration of Clyde
Materials Handling’s US operations with MAC Equipment, MAC
can now offer the process industry a wide range of material
handling and air filtration solutions.
The union of MAC Equipment and
Clyde Materials Handling has created a process solutions
provider who is focused on improving the efficiency and
productivity of their key customer markets and who is
committed to setting the industry standard for innovation,
product quality and customer service.

New Meyer Pneumatic Screw Pump
Libertyville, IL -- The Meyer Pneumatic Screw Pump is a
heavy duty dry materials injection pump designed to feed dry
pulverized material into a pneumatic conveying line.
The
Screw Pump can handle highly abrasive, friable or very fine
powders that wear out other dilute phase feeders. Unlike
rotary airlocks that require tight clearances to seal
against conveying air, the Screw Pump uses the material to
form the seal.
Benefits include increased conveying rates with less air; no
blowback, even when running empty, increased wear resistance
to abrasive materials, low profile, longer bearing life with
fewer system shutdowns, and overall reduced operating and
maintenance costs.
Applications include the chemical, cement and mining
industries where the Screw Pump’s design significantly
reduces abrasive wear; minimizing maintenance and unplanned,
costly downtime.
A new
12 page brochure is now available detailing the features and
specifications of the Meyer Pneumatic Screw Pump. Contact
Meyer today to request a copy of this detailed brochure.
Wm. W.
Meyer & Sons, Inc. is a world leader in the manufacture of
dry bulk material processing equipment, pneumatic conveyors,
dust collectors, insulation blowing machines and vacuum
collection systems. The company is dedicated to developing
innovative machinery and committed to the highest standards
of quality, craftsmanship and customer service.

Rulmeca Opens Manufacturing
Plant in China
Tianjin, China -- Rulmeca, the international leading
manufacturer of rollers and motorized pulleys for belt
conveyors, celebrated the opening of the Rulmeca
manufacturing Unit in China in Tianjin on the 22nd of May
2008.
In
front of about 80 guests, including customers, suppliers,
local authorities and all the Rulmeca Group Board of
Directors, Rulmeca celebrations started with the speeches of
Mr. Seng Kwang Heng, Asia Pacific M.D., Mr. Emilio Moreschi,
President of Rulmeca Group, Mr. Fabio Ghisalberti, Managing
Director of Rulli Rulmeca, Mr. Goh Ching Beng, General
Manager of Rulmeca Tianjin and Mr. Li Wen Yong, the XEDA
Labor Committee Deputy Secretary.
In the
name of Rulmeca Mr. Emilio Moreschi first expressed
condolences to the victims of the strong earthquake that hit
the Sichuan area and supported the earthquake victims with a
donation.
Then,
the day was welcomed as the birth of Rulmeca Tianjin, the
11th manufacturing facility of the Rulmeca Group in the
world and the second in Asia, a natural development
following Rulmeca important geographic expansion strategy in
the world.
The
growth and opening of China economy offer enormous
opportunity to multinational companies like Rulmeca. For
Rulmeca that has made of the internalization a must in the
last 10 to 15 years, China could not stay out the view.
The
strategic choice to open a manufacturing facility in China
for Rulmeca comes from far away. The Rulmeca program in
China has long roots as it started in 1985 when the company
closed license agreements with 3 Chinese companies. But then
times were not matured enough for both China and Europe.
The
new facility in Tianjin will strengthen Rulmeca position in
Asia and will provide a platform for continued growth in the
region. Rulmeca strategy is crystal clear: The Company will
produce top quality, world class rollers and motorized
pulleys for the bulk handling industries from coal mining to
cement plants, from fertilizer plants to sugar and rice
mills, from seaports to airports.

New Economical ‘Spirostore’ Flexible Silos
 CHARLOTTE,
NC -- Spiroflow Systems, Inc. has introduced a new,
economic range of flexible silos that provide
tailor-made solutions for quick, efficient and safe
storing of bulk solids and ingredients in most
industries.
Unlike steel or aluminum
silos, the new ‘Spirostore’ Flexible Silos are made of a
robust, durable and yet flexible polyester fabric
supported on a steel frame. The silos can store up to
7,000 ft3 of dry bulk material and support weights up to
90,000 lbs.
The flexible silos are
manufactured like a custom-made suit in terms of shape,
size and the type of polyester fabric selected. These
are adapted to suit each customer’s specific
requirements in terms of space available, exact product
specifications and how the product should be discharged.
According to Spiroflow Systems, no other bulk solids
storage system can match the flexibility of flexible
silos.
The silos are suitable for
almost any indoor or other weatherproof location and can
be connected to any type of Spiroflow Flexible Screw,
Aero Mechanical, Pneumatic, and Vacuum Conveyor Systems
to fill and/or empty the stored material.
‘Spirostore’ Flexible Silos
are ideal for use in the plastics, recycling industry,
chemical, pharmaceutical as well as sectors of the food,
animal feed and sweets industry. Materials that can be
stored are equally varied and range from trouble-free
peas and polystyrene balls to interlocking materials
such as baking flour, color pigments and clumping
materials such as tea leaves, fiberglass and shredded
wool.
“Spirostore Flexible Silos
allow our customers to quickly and economically expand
their storage capability of bulk solids material in a
way no other silo can,” confirms Michael Podevyn,
President and CEO of Spiroflow Systems. “That’s one of
the main reasons why these type of silos are generating
so much interest. The silos are about one third the cost
of a steel silo with similar capacity, are lightweight
and are very easy and fast to install. They are
delivered ‘flat pack’ making it possible to pass through
regular doorways and take up a minimum amount of space.”
The main part of the
‘Spirostore’ Flexible Silos is the high strength,
durable polyester fabric supported by a steel frame. The
fabric is custom designed to meet the exact
characteristics of the customers’ product and to
maximize the storage capacity in the available space. A
variety of other fabric options are available to meet
product requirements. These include a breathable fabric
that prevents condensation, air-tight versions, coated
and uncoated versions, fabrics for use in food
applications, electrically conducting versions for safe
discharge of electrostatic charges plus numerous others.
Among other benefits of the
‘Spirostore’ Flexible Silos are its high rigidity values
and load capabilities with seven-fold safety for seams
and fabric, robust and durable construction for long
life, its safe system function with low operating and
maintenance costs, and the fact that it is easy to
clean, making it very flexible for all-round use.
Spiroflow also provides
turnkey plant construction from engineering to
installation including electronic controls for filling
level, weighing, conveying and dosing.

Eliminating Wasted Production Effort
Material transfer is an
integral part of any operation. When increased
production demands and new product lines challenge a
processing line, those charged with optimizing
production must evaluate an array of factors when
determining the best method for moving chemical
ingredients. To eliminate wasted efforts in production,
manufacturers are moving away from conventional methods...(more)
