APPLIED Adhesives, an adhesive solutions provider in North America, has completed its acquisition of In-Line Finishing Solutions, LLC, a specialty adhesive and coating solutions provider to the direct mail (DM) and label converting markets located in Chicago, Illinois.

Admix, Inc., global manufacturer of hygienic and industrial mixing equipment serving the food/beverage, chemical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, announced the launch of the Benchmix® 10 compact high shear lab mixer.

With the flowplus-SPT M6, ViscoTec is now launching the world’s smallest flush pressure sensor with a chemical–largely inert–pressure membrane made of FFKM.

Graco Inc., a manufacturer of fluid handling equipment, has made its UniDrum™ Bulk Supply System available with E-Flo® SP™ electric supply pumps.

Hauschild Engineering reports that its SpeedMixer® has the ability to mix multi-material compounds in just a few minutes and without any air bubbles.  

Kassow Robots, a developer of 7-axis cobots for machine tending, material handling, and related applications, has partnered with Industrial Control in Zeeland, Michigan, a factory automation distribution specialist.

Designed for the reliable and gentle mixing of friable solids, abrasive materials, and shear-sensitive products, the ROSS Vertical Blender consists of a low-speed auger that orbits the periphery of a conical vessel while gently lifting material upward. 

Contaminated printed circuit board assemblies can lead to poor performance. Oils and flux residue can prevent proper adhesion of conformal coatings, while marking inks, adhesives, and other materials can cause PCB delamination, blistering, shorting, dendrite growth, and electrochemical migration. It is therefore critical to remove all leftover manufacturing contaminants and to do it in an environmentally sustainable way. 

ROSS recently announced that the long-lasting quality and efficiency of one of its reconditioned mixers is comparable, if not equal, to new equipment when properly restored to as-new working condition by the company’s team of engineers and mechanics.

If you’re a process engineer, manufacturer, or health and safety officer, you know that oxygen detection plays a key role in process safety and product quality. This is especially true when deployed in the production processes for adhesives and sealants manufacturing. Having too much oxygen in solvent storage tanks poses a significant risk of fire and explosion. In addition, too much oxygen within mixing vessels creates a risk of fire and explosion while also posing a risk to product quality.
