Union Process develops lab attritor for mineral grinding Union Process recently built a lab machine for its limestone and mineral grinding line. The CL- 5 is the smallest member of the CL Series Stirred Vertical Ball Mills. The CL- 5 is appropriate for research, scale-up studies and small-scale production. Primary applications are for wet grinding limestone for flue gas desulphurization in power plants and for mineral grinding.

Sachtleben introduces Sachtosperse EP barium sulfate Sachtleben has introduced Sachtosperse EP for powder coatings. Powder-coated aluminum sections and profiles, for windows and conservatories, for example, are sealed after production into polymer films to protect them during shipment and storage. The company said this form of protection can become problematic, however, if the profiles are stored outdoors before use, for instance; water can then condense between the film and the product. Exposure of this pairing of substances to intense UV radiation relatively quickly sets off fading on the surface of the profiles and causes mottling. Sachtleben said the incorporation of Sachtosperse EP into the powder-coating is a solution to this problem. Sachtosperse EP—functionalized, patented synthetic particles of barium sulfate— enhances the stability of the powder-coating system no complications the company said. Gloss remains unaffected, and in Sachtleben’s new “two-in-one” product powder-coating producers get not only optimized protection but also the important filler functions they in any case need for their systems.

Netzsch introduces Omega for energy saving dispersing Netzsch Grinding and Dispersing business unit recently unveiled its newest machine— the Omega Economic Dispersionizer. According to the company, Omega achieves extraordinary energy efficiency through utilization of turbulence, cavitation and shear forces, thus providing real energy and time saving potential. In comparison to technologies currently in operation, the Omega dispersing unit is one of the most cost effec-

Most efficient and aggressive blending/dispersing blade available. Provides proper combination of pumping action and shear/ dispersion essential for fast consistent results. Built in pumping action cuts processing time. Longer life due to heavier gauge construction. Less heat due to shorter required running time. Excellent for high or low speed and high or low viscosity. Supplied with hubs or mounting holes required to retrofit and upgrade present equipment. Pumping blades without teeth are available and are excellent for gentle blending and agitation.
