new test observatory Opened in 1898 the Norwood facility just outside of Cincinnati is one of the longest continuously operating Siemens plants globally e new equipment extends Norwoods testing range from 10000 horsepower HP to 20000 HP at frequencies from 10 Hz to 300 Hz thus addressing the markets increased use of variable frequency drives e new test observatory allows customers to participate by observing testing through bay windows direct cameras and mirroring computers which display real time critical data being gathered by sensors attached to their motor Ison lands the 2018 EASA Karsten

MIXER RIBBON PADDLE PLOW BLENDERS HANDLE POWDERS TO PASTES MUNSON Ribbon Paddle and Plow Blenders force agitators through stationary materials imparting shear needed to reduce agglomerates and blend pastes and slurries Low cost industrial units to state of the art designs of 304 316 stainless and exotic alloys with heating cooling jackets liquid spray additions high speed choppers intensifiers and finishes to USDA Dairy and other standards Minimum heel of residual following discharge Heavy and extraheavy duty batch and continuous models in capacities from 1 to 1000 cu ft 03 to 28 cu m VEE CONE BLENDERS SANITIZE ULTRA FAST THOROUGHLY MUNSON Vee Cone Blenders feature smooth internal surfaces free of baffles shafts and bearings allowing unobstructed material flow plus complete discharge through a gate valve for rapid cleaning or sanitizing of the easy access interior Uniform blends typically achieved in 5 to 15 minutes at fill volumes from 100 to 25 of capacity Ideal for dry and granular materials Gentler than machines that force agitators through stationary material Options include spray bars for liquid additions Clean In Place CIP systems abrasion resistant steel construction and ASME coded jackets FLUIDIZED BED MIXERS BLEND ULTRA FAST GENTLY Unlike Ribbon and Paddle Blenders with a single agitator shaft MUNSON Fluidized Bed Mixers feature two shafts with paddles that counter rotate at higher speeds to fluidize material achieving homogeneous blends in 10 seconds to 2 minutes Low shear forces minimize friction with little degradation Drop bottom gates provide rapid discharge with no segregation Ideal for short cycles and gentle handling of low to mediumdensity powders and fragile flakes Capacities from 265 to 28660 lb 120 to 13000 kg ROTARY LUMP BREAKERS REDUCE AGGLOMERATES FRIABLE MATERIALS Remove lumps and agglomerates from bulk foods pharmaceuticals and chemicals or break down glass and other friable materials Dual rotors with threepoint single piece breaking heads rotate with minimum clearance inside a curved perforated bedscreen On size material exits through bedscreen apertures from 1 32 to 2 1 2 in 08 to 635 mm in diameter Low profile design fits tight spaces Side removal bedscreens allow fast in place sanitizing Inlets range from 15 to 48 in 38 to 122 cm in width classifying screen apertures from 1 32 to 2 1 2 in 08 to 635 mm in diameter PIN MILLS REDUCE FRIABLE SOLIDS IN CONTROLLED SIZE RANGES Also known as Centrifugal Impact Mills these MUNSON machines deliver coarse to fine grinding of friable powders flakes and granules into controlled particle sizes at high rates per hp kw High speed rotation of the inner disc creates centrifugal force that accelerates bulk material entering the central inlet of the opposing stationary disc As material travels from the center to the periphery of the discs at high speed it passes through a path of five intermeshing rows of rotating and stationary pins with the desired tight particle size distribution obtained by controlling the rotor speed Fast yet gentle 4 way mixing action fold tumble cut turn EE 0696 2016 Munson Machinery Co Inc MUNSON is a registered
