For fine layer coating of individual particles, the intensive, continuous mixing action of the Hosokawa Turbulizer makes it probably one of the most successful units on the market. If your requirement is for efficient dispersion of a small quantity of material into a larger bulk for thin layer coating of individual particles then the Turbulizer is ideal. The high efficiency mixer is proven in coating applications for taste masking, improved flow characteristics, the protection of core particles or controlled release effect or controlled dissolving time.

The Bond-Rite Intrinsically Safe Self-Testing Static Grounding Clamp from Newson Gale is designed for verifying safe low-resistance static grounding and bonding conditions in many operations involving flammable liquid vapour, gas and combustible dust handling environments. The original model was launched in 2001 and there are now over 10,000 units in use in the worldwide chemical processing industries. The unit is commonly used for hazardous area static earth/grounding and bonding applications where there is a need for positive confirmation during drumming, filling, mixing and other transfer and handling operations involving solvents and/or combustible powdered materials. A pulsing green LED indicator provides the user with reassurance when a low-resistance bond to earth/ground has been established even in the presence of insulating coatings, oxidisation, corrosion or excessive contact resistance, as well as continuously monitoring the condition of the bonding cable.
