Easyflex is a PTFE hose designed for flexibility and resistance to heat and chemicals. It has an inner and outer layer of helically convoluted PTFE tube reinforced with a stainless steel braid. It can operate between -60 and +260 degrees Celsius and is used globally for low to medium pressure applications that require flexibility or tight bend radii. Antistatic liners and an acid resistant 316 SS option are available.Design and Implementation of Visual Inspection System in Automatic Bottling S...

A Progressive ComparisonNercon
Ìý
This document compares the costs and labor hours of different conveyor changeover technologies over 10 years. The baseline technology requires 108 adjustment points, costs $7,500 in labor annually, and takes 60 minutes per changeover. More advanced technologies like ratchet handles, preset points, and automatic rails reduce adjustment points, labor costs, and changeover time. The most advanced automatic rail system requires only 1 adjustment point, $125 in labor, and 1 minute per changeover, but has the highest upfront purchase cost of $27,500. Overall the automatic system saves the most labor costs over 10 years.How to Increase Conveyor Line Efficiencies by Removing Change-over

The document discusses the process of forensic microscopy for particle identification. It describes a three level process: 1) detection and observation of particles, 2) separation, description and categorization of particles, and 3) identification of particles through various analytical techniques. Key techniques mentioned include microscopy, spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and mass analysis. The goal is to methodically analyze unknown particles through increasing levels of resolution and specificity.Dr. Susan Bain Presentation Visual Inspection 2016

This document discusses visual inspection of drug products for defects and container integrity. It summarizes regulations around ensuring container closure systems provide adequate protection and rejecting drug products that fail to meet standards. The document also discusses recalls related to visible particulates and FDA observations around visual inspection issues. It provides an overview of differences between human and automated inspections. A survey found manual inspection is most common and discusses typical inspection conditions and rejection rates. Key aspects of USP <790> on visible particulates in injections are also summarized, including inspection illumination, times, and acceptance criteria. The document concludes that while inspection cannot ensure products are 100% defect free, practical limits and patient risk guide the process.Sanitary Webinar

The document discusses improving energy efficiency on packaging conveyor lines. It recommends selecting energy efficient electric motors, drives, components and controls when evaluating conveyor equipment. It also recommends utilizing energy monitoring and optimization controls to capitalize on additional energy savings beyond just efficient component selection. Specific opportunities discussed include proper motor sizing, use of variable speed drives, selection of efficient gear reducers like helical gears over worm gears, and implementing automation controls to optimize energy usage based on production demands.Conveyor Construction Levels
Conveyor Construction LevelsNercon
Ìý
The document describes different environments and construction requirements for conveyor systems. It outlines four levels of environments - dry, wipe-down, wash-down, and three levels of sanitary environments. The higher the environment level, the higher the moisture, use of cleaning chemicals, and bacteria risks. Accordingly, construction requirements become more stringent with materials changing from mild steel to stainless steel and seals and joints requiring continuous welds to prevent moisture and chemical intrusion. Electrical enclosures and components also become more corrosion resistant at higher environment levels.How to Plan for Line Controls and Integration

The document discusses how to plan for effective line integration. It covers key considerations like environment parameters, equipment interfaces, safety, system architecture, information management, networks, acquisition costs, cost of ownership, and system reliability. It emphasizes selecting the right control hardware and networks to tie integrated systems together safely and efficiently while enabling information and diagnostics. The scope of machinery integration is expanding from individual machines to complete production lines.Guide to comparing lift equipment

This document discusses conveyor changeover solutions that can reduce changeover times for packaging lines. It describes several types of manual and automated conveyor guide rail adjustment systems with varying levels of adjustment precision and speeds. The most basic systems require tools for adjustment while the most advanced are fully automated. It compares the costs of different solutions to the costs of labor hours required for changeovers. Automated systems provide the fastest changeovers but have higher upfront costs. The best solution depends on a company's specific production needs and goals.Evaluating chains by Application
