Industrial Thermometer An industrial thermometer with a plastic

case front, yellow back, easy reading ther­mometer tubing, and malleable iron back has recently been announced by the C. J. Tagliabue Mfg. Co., Brooklyn, Ν. Y.

The plastic case front is not affected by the temperatures t o which the case is sub­jected under actual service conditions. Either the glass or the entire front can be replaced at nominal cost.

Pulsation Dampener The AtShcroft Gauge Division of Manning,

Maxwell & Moore, Inc., Bridgeport, Conn., announces the Type 1106 Ashcroft pulsation darnpener, a compact and effective throttling device for use with pressure gages subject to severe pressure pulsations and rapid fluctua­tions, such as on reciprocating pumps.

The darnpener i s good for pressures up to 5,000 pounds per square inch and for any pressure medium such a s air, 'water, oil, or

steam, whenever a dampening device i s needed.

A small Monel plunger oscillates freely in a cylindrical hole in the bushing. The clear­ance between the plunger and hole i s just sufficient to give the proper throttling action for certain conditions. The free movement of the plunger makes the device self-cleaning. Five different size holes are provided in the bushing, all sealed off except the one ixi use, by means of the sealing disk.

Tailgate Loader Anthony Co., Inc., Streator, 111., manu­

facturers of hydraulic hoists and bodies, announce that they are' manufacturing and distributing a hydraulicaliy-operated device known as the Tailgate Loader.

-itm^mma*^ Raising, lowering, or holding a t any

elevation is accomplished with only one lever, and the entire mechanism locks xip to body when in raised position. The wooden, steel-reinforced tailgate may be used conven­tionally without operating lift. The 5-inch hydraulic cylinder stops automatically a t ground and body level, and can lift from 750 to 1,500 pounds according to the various models.

Spray-Degreasing Booth A new spray-degreasing booth announced

by The DeVilbiss Co., Toledo, Ohio, is re­ported to combine those features -which have

proved most desirable in units built by this manufacturer for industry and the armed services during recent years. One of the most important advantages claimed for this new spr&y-degreasing booth is the ability to hold solvent loss t o barest minimum. Engi­neered for safe operation the new unit re­moves fumes and delivers a more forceful solvent spray. The booth is made in 14, 16, and 18 gage steel. Sizes vary according to the requirements of the products to be handled.

Lodge & Shipley Plan New Types of Conversion Products The Lodge and Shipley Machine Tool Co.,

operating two lathe plants in Cincinnati is proceeding on plans for converting facili­ties and manpower as subcontractors on various types of equipment associated with the war effort. "With a backlog covering over four months in lathe orders to be filled, a company spokesman disclosed that other contracts have been signed providing for new applications of the plant facilities and personnel in the victory effort when the company's two plants catch up with the back orders.

Production, of Diesel engine parts, air­craft propeller parts, and several new types of products axe projected in the conversion program. Work on the Diesel parts, oper­ated on a subcontract with the General Machinery Corporation, Hamilton, Ohio, has been under way for several months.

Asbury Fluid Impact Mill The Asbury fluid impact mill, manufac­

tured b y the Asbury Impact Mill Co., 204 Highland Ave., Abington, Penna., is designed to act upon fluids by utilizing a special

rotor to produce impact by means of centrifu­gal force. The rotor divides the liquid ma­terials into a fine mist, the particles of which are driven b y centrifugal action at tremen­dous velocity against an impact ring, which directs the fluid film so formed into the pe­riphery of the rotor and discharges it there­from.

Because of the lack of frictional contact, no

mmmmmÊÊmmmÊmmÊmimmmmm adjustments are necessary, but pulley speed changes may be made if desired. The clear­ance throughout the mill i s in excess of 0.0020 inch. Because of -the large amount of coolant area, dimensional changes caused by high or low temperatures have no effect on the operation of the mill. Therefore, it can be operated at any temperature at which fluid treatment may be desired, ranging from that c f liquid air to that o f boiling min­eral oil without any adjustment or fear of damage to equipment.

Its applications include emulsions of

< *, t. "^Â'iyL·^ iL.:a£f >*ÎZ4 >!-*!. ' ^ ' Λ '

mineral and vegetable oils, latex and waxes, as well a s those of animal and marine origin Multiple admission ports admit of feeding several materials simultaneously, thus per­mitting the production of a finished emulsion in one continuous process. The multiple port feature also lends itself to the continu­ous production of uniform and finely divided pigments, organic and inorganic.

The use of the Asbury mill i s not limited to thin fluid mixes. Any material which -will flow or can be pumped into the mill is a poten­tial subject.

RAYMOND PILOT MILL UNIT for Product Control

This practical combination includes the Raymond No. 0000 Imp Pulverizer and 30-Inch Mechanical Air Separator operating in closed circuit so that the tailings are returned to t h e mill for re-grinding and a uniform finished product is delivered by the separator.

It is a n ideal arrangement for the larger type of pilot plant where pulverizing and classifying are necessary. A wide range of ι material can he produced from medium coarse t o extreme fine. If a very coarse, or approximately granular product i s required, a screen is used for classifying the finished material.

RAYMOND No. 0000 IMP PULVERIZER, for pulver­ising and separating small capacities of medium soft materials.
