X-Ray Source
The XRBHR series of monoblock X-ray sources are designed for OEM applications powering their internal bipolar X-ray tube to 80kV and 100kV at power levels of 100W, 210W, 350W, and 500W. Features such as universal input, compact package size, and standard RS-232 or Ethernet digital interface simplify integration of any XRBHR model into a user’s X-ray system. These intelligent power supplies monitor and log over two dozen operations, using a real-time clock to record total X-ray ON time. Each XRBHR model is available with fan (standard) or cone (optional) beam geometries. Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corp., 631-630-3000, www.spellmanhv.com.
Detectable Rubber Gloves
Powder-free metal detectable gloves are made from natural rubber and the anti-slip patterned finish provides a good grip in wet and dry conditions. Designed for safe use in food processing, the gloves comply with FDA and EU regulations for contact with food. The metal detectability reduces the risk of contaminated products and the bright blue color makes them highly visible if lost in the process area. Gloves have a higher resistance to tearing with a specification for an 0.018-in. thickness. Extra benefits are derived from the bacteriostatic and fungistatic additives that prevent the growth of microbial contaminants. In addition, the low level of soluble proteins reduces the risk of negative skin response. Detectamet, 844-820-7244, www.detectamet.com.
Magnetic Pull Test Kit
The newly designed pull test kit includes an improved polarity indicator to allow users to verify the pole configuration of the separation equipment. Another useful feature of the indicator shows the user how far the magnetic field actually extends beyond the surface of the magnet, which helps determine spacing between cartridges for a given application. The optional version has a digital scale that comes with NIST calibration check certificate. While all industries should utilize a pull test on their magnetic separators, the company emphasizes that with the attention on food safety being so high, it’s required in every facility that transports, processes, or packages food.

Mix Proof Valves
Offering minimized CIP fluid losses, the D4 Series of mix proof hygienic valves is used for the separation of dissimilar products across the food and beverage, dairy, and brewing process industries. All D4 valves are fully balanced for dependable operation against pressure spikes and flow in any direction. Automated processing is enhanced with the option of a unique control unit with integrated seat lift detection and no external sensors. Compressed air or lifting tools are not required for removal and service. The D4 range includes the primary D4 model, which meets the basic needs for reliable product separation and seat lift or non-seat lift cleanability, and the DA4 ultra-hygienic model for critical applications requiring enhanced cleanability of all product contact surfaces. For applications where the current generation DA3+ housing is reliably in place, the DA4 can be inserted to provide an efficient upgrade, future-proofing existing installations with minimal disruption and risk.
