New Products
A new dispersing system for
slurry production
ystral
Bonomi North America
The new Batt-TDS series of powderdispersing
systems (photo) is designed
for the development and industrial
production of electrode slurries for lithium-ion
batteries. The platform offers
crucial benefits, compared to existing
technologies. The Batt-TDS handles
diverse materials by combining multiple
functions of several machines into
a single core system. At R&D scale,
compared to planetary mixers, which
require hours of mixing to accomplish
dispersion, the Batt-TDS can
complete the entire process in a few
minutes, enabling faster R&D cycles.
Dispersion itself requires only milliseconds
as components pass through its
inline process chamber. At production
scale, this translates to greater than
ten-times higher productivity than
conventional technologies and twice
that of available extruders, says the
company. The product range includes
a 12-L unit for rapid formulation and
process screening, and production
systems for throughputs greater than
5,000 L/h. - ystral GmbH, Ballrechten-Dottingen,

Explosion-proof automated
V-ball valve packages
This company has introduced what
is said to be industry's first explosionproof
electric-actuated stainlesssteel
two-piece V-ball packages.
They are available in sizes ½ to 2 in.
NPT. The new M8E700076V36-V6V9
series electric actuated V-ball
valve (photo) is said to offer precise
proportional control in the smallest
total dimensional envelope in the industry.
This is due to the low-torque
design of the 700076V stainlesssteel
V-port ball valve with 23%
carbon-filled and 2% graphite-filled
seats. The valve also incorporates
dual Viton O-ring stem seals for
long-lasting leak-free performance
over an operating temperature range
of -4 to 366˚F. Pressure ratings are
1,000 psi (water, oil or gas) and 150
psi (steam). The valves are factoryassembled
with the company's EXM
Series electric actuator. - Bonomi

High-shear granulator for
compacting powdery foodstuffs
This company has developed a
granulator
(photo)
designed
for
compacting bulk goods, such as
tea, cocoa or coffee. It is based on
the mixing granulator type MGT, a
vertical system for mixing and granulation
of powders and granules.
A specially developed compaction
tool rotates in the cylindrical mixing
vessel at a close distance from the
vessel wall and base to achieve the
necessary bulk density and a homogeneous
mixing quality. In addition,
the mixing vessel is equipped with a
cooling double jacket to ensure that
the full aroma of the material is retained.
The product can be flavored
in accordance with the recipe parameters
directly in the processing
vessel of the Mixing Granulator. This
process can be carried out manually
or automatically. The machine
requires only three minutes to mix
and compress, for instance, one
batch of ground coffee. - Gebr.

A 1,000-gal/min pump for
horizontal drilling
The new GD 800HDD pump (photo)
has an extremely high flowrate of
more than 1,000 gal/min, making
it suitable for the most demanding
horizontal directional drilling (HDD)
projects. Its light weight eases
transportation between work sites
and its extremely high rod-load rating
of 53,000 lb ensures the pump
is tough and long lasting, says the
manufacturer. The pump is also
designed to operate at a slow run
speed, delivering the same output,
flow, and pressure as faster pumps
with less violent actions, wear and
friction. By delivering fewer strokes,
consumable life is extended. The
pump is qualified as maxi-rig pump,
and can provide a suite of options
to the HDD industry when tunneling
under rivers and roads and laying
sewerage systems, water pipes,
fiber-optic lines and pipelines. -
