Tablets & Capsules May 2017 27 A survey of what's available powder transfer & containment Contained screener DA Vario contained screener has flexible liner with integral glove that allows you to examine screen without contacting product or allowing dust to escape. Liner also lets you replace screen basket and dosing screw under containment. As you remove drive unit lengthwise with screen cylinder, screener's extraction device supports and guides them into tubular plas- tic film. You can then remove old screen while it's inside plas- tic liner and install new screen while maintaining contain- ment. Dosing screw exchanges in similar manner. AZO, Memphis, TN.

Unit conveys as much as 1,200 to 1,500 pounds of material per hour depending on material. It can also transfer empty capsules without damaging or separating them. GMP-compliant conveyor meets FDA and USDA standards. Vac-U-Max, Belleville, NJ. Tel. 973 759 4600 www.vac-u-max.com Cartridge dust collectors Downflo Evolution series cartridge dust collectors decrease number of filters by as much as 40 percent compared to conventional cartridge collectors, reducing filter replacement costs. Compact unit also conserves floor space and decreases initial cost. Its "dropout zone" pre-separates large dust particles, reduces pressure drop, and minimizes fil- ter abrasion. MaxPulse cleaning system uses double-diverging pulse nozzle that shapes air to match shape of filter, deliver- ing 27 percent more energy to media to ensure effective cleaning. "Triagonal" cartridges position more filter media at bottom than round cartridges and thus direct more dust toward collection hopper. Asymmetrical yokes ensure car- tridges are sealed and aligned properly for cleaning. Ultra- Web nanofiber media uses layer of fibers 0.2 to 0.3 micron in diameter to surface-capture contaminants smaller than 1 micron. Donaldson Torit, Minneapolis, MN.
