CONTROL.

AUTOMATION TO LEVERAGE FULLSTREAM PERFORMANCE.

Dust collection and containment systems leave you with clean up, disposal, and material waste on your hands. The National Bulk Equipment enclosed dust recovery system keeps your valuable material in the product stream and your throughput at its peak.

Enclosed Dust Recovery Stream

Proper routing and filtering of displaced air during discharge enables dusted product to be reintroduced to the material stream.

E3TM Dust-tight Bag Spout Interface Bag spout is fully enclosed during discharge; 3/4-inch thick clamp plate prevents deflection and dust release.

Upstream, Downstream, and Between

Fullstream Material Management

Integrated automation of upstream and downstream equipment ensures optimal process-wide performance.

Air Flow Volume Controller

Automated modulation of air flow volume during bag spouting, material flow, and filter cleaning prevents dusting and material waste.

From raw material discharging to finished-product packaging, NBE bulk material handling equipment spans the fullstream of processing and packaging applications. Leverage the full portfolio of NBE equipment to bring optimal process performance to your production operation.

Move beyond the constraints of build-to-order and engineered-to-order equipment builders. Avoid settling for application input that falls short and project and production resources too limited to keep pace. Ensure optimal project performance from pre-RFQ feasibility testing through installation and turnover, with NBE engineered-to-application project delivery.

Lubriplate debuted several new products at PACK EXPO International, including refillable bulk loading grease guns and grease transfer pumps for 35-lb grease pails and 120-lb kegs (24). Lubriplate’s hand pump provides grease gun loading direct from the bulk containers, and the kegs have an option to use an automatic pump for tasks that require more volume.

Also new from Lubriplate at the show was their Lubriplate Synthetic Food Grade Drilling & Tapping Fluid, which is a full synthetic fluid designed specifically for drilling and tapping. This product is NSF H1 registered, making it ideal for food processors, food package manufacturers, and the pharmaceutical industry.

One more debut from Lubriplate is its SYN-FG SDO food-grade synthetic sugar dissolving oil, ideal for beverage manufacturers or those working with sugars and syrups. SYN-FG SDO is NSF H1 registered and is specifically designed to remove sugar deposits and to lubricate machine components exposed to sugar contamination, thus reducing and preventing future sugar buildup. All of Lubriplate’s spray cans now feature the company’s patented Secure Straw dual-spray nozzle with a permanently attached straw.

Unibloc rolled out its multi-size line of QuickStrip FoodFirst pumps (25), which now range from the QS FF 300 to the QS FF 677, featuring 1.0- to 6.0in. outlet sizes and flow rates from 28 to 500 gal/ min, depending on the model size. All QS FF pumps feature Unibloc’s patented CIP features with toolfree disassembly.

“The largest version of our FoodFirst pumps was originally made for meat and poultry. But over time, we realized there’s more than just those markets that can use this technology, so we expanded across the product line with di erent sizes, and our customers love it,” says Mark Boyd, vice president of sales at Unibloc.

Also new at PACK EXPO International from Unibloc was the company’s Flotronic Air Operated Double Diaphragm One-Nut Pump. The stainless steel pump’s unique design allows for disassembly and cleaning in a fraction of the time it takes to do the same with a standard pump—from an hour or more down to just minutes—significantly reducing downtime.

“It’s the only air-operated double diaphragm pump in the world where you can use CIP rig,” explains Leighton
