Bimba has announced production of a series of short videos on vacuum technology to provide basic information about vacuum pumps, vacuum cups, end-of-arm tools, and accessories. Each segment of less than four minutes is hosted by “Dr. Vacuum,” an expert in the “reliable use of vacuum technology.” According to Senior Applications Engineer David Haynes, Bimba’s expert in the use […]
Butler Automatic announces SP1 Splicer enhancement
Butler Automatic announces a recent innovation to their SP1 Automatic Splicer. Upgraded vacuum bars featuring Width Adaptive Vacuum Effectivity (WAVE) technology, eliminate edge curl which creates issues on certain films. The new wave bar is an improvement over previous vacuum bars because it includes strategically-placed vacuum holes in conjunction with wave-shaped vacuum slots. This enhancement […]
Clippard PTFE media isolation valves provide custom solutions
Clippard’s media isolation valves are solenoid-operated devices that use a flexible diaphragm to isolate the actuation mechanism from the fluid path. Media isolation valves are commonly used for a wide variety of applications, including those that require precise, repeatable dispensing of media. All wetted areas of the valve are PTFE, making this series suitable for use with corrosive […]
Why is proper installation of a piping bypass so important?
Bypass connections are required for pneumatic components that are in continuous use applications, so that the flow of air is not interrupted when the component is maintained or taken out of service. Typically, shut off valves are installed before and after the component and a piping loop with a shut-off valve routed around the component […]
Pack Expo is coming up fast — October 14-17

This year, 50,000 packaging professionals will convene at the four-day event produced by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, to network and connect with 2,500 […]
What is causing your high pressure?
It is at times interesting to observe the variety of compressed air pressure levels one sees when visiting various industrial plants. Some plants operate successfully at pressures near 70 psi, yet others are running at near 200 psi. Often, the equipment in the facilities are doing the same function, and the reason for the boosted […]
Variable frequency drive rotary screw air compressors
VFD Series of variable frequency drive rotary screw air compressors from Sullivan Palatek range in size from 15 to 450 hp. The standard VFD microprocessor has a customer-friendly display with expanded descriptions of all the operating controls. It has RS485 communication between it and the VFD and displays all pertinent VFD power consumption data on […]

What’s the wrong way to install a piping bypass?
Bypass connections are required for pneumatic components that are in continuous use applications, so that the flow of air is not interrupted when the component is maintained or taken out of service. Typically, shut-off valves are installed before and after the component and a piping loop with a shut-off valve routed around the component for […]
New stainless steel high pressure regulator
ControlAir Inc. has announced the introduction of the new Type-3600 Stainless Steel High Pressure Regulator. The Type-3600 safely reduces inlet pressures from as high as 6000 psig (413 bar) down to working pressures ranging between 0 and 225 psig (15.5 bar). This first-cut high pressure regulator is constructed of rugged 316 Stainless Steel for corrosion-resistance and […]
