Qualicaps, Whitsett, NC 336 449 3900 www.qualicaps.com Dust collector cartridge filter Gold Cone X-Flo cartridge filter uses a proprietary inner pleat pack with an open-bottomed inner cone that exposes more media to the airstream. Filter design captures more dust during operation than a conventional pleated filter and releases dust better during pulse-jet cleaning, allowing the filters to stay cleaner and last longer. Filters exceed OSHA indoor quality mandates, meet NFPA and ATEX standards, are guaranteed to meet EPA particle-emission requirements, and are available in a selection of regular or nano-fiber media. Filters are designed to work with the company's Gold Series X-Flo dust collector to maximize airflow while minimizing filter change-outs, compressed-air usage, and energy costs, making the system ideal for industrial applications that produce or process fine, fibrous, or heavy dusts and fume. Camfil APC, Jonesboro, AR 800 479 6801 www.camfilapc.com R&D continuous solid dosage manufacturing unit Xelum R&D continuous manufacturing unit combines dosing, mix- ing, and granulating processes for continuous production of oral solid dosage products. Because the lab-scale unit features the same components and process parameters as the company's produc- tion-scale unit, product transfer does not require scale up, which allows manufacturers to accelerate development and reduce time- to-market. In contrast to other continuous systems, which com- monly use mass flow rate to dose excipients and active ingredients, the Xelum unit precisely doses ingredients as a discrete mass. Hüt- tlin fluid-bed runs from less than 250 grams up to 10 kilograms of material per hour on an automated cycle. System is available with options for handling highly potent active ingredients.
