In 35 years of contract processing powders and granules, Custom Powders Ltd has faced a huge range of exceptional requirements for finished product performance. Many of these have included requirements for low dust content whether required for aesthetic reasons, customer or user experience or critical to the end product performance. Sieving has an important use here but is not always the answer. Air classifying has been extremely effective but depending on the raw material may be impractical. As a result of this Custom Powders Ltd has developed a range of bespoke de-dusting systems and unique product tests, to ensure we have achieved consistent performance to the most demanding low dust products. The most common application for de-dusting systems is within a value adding process eg agglomeration or compaction. Here the de-dusting not only has to achieve the end product requirement, it must be compatible with the speed of the process being operated. De-dusters operate with both mechanical and air agitation to ‘knock’ fines off the product particle and then to remove the dust particle via air conveying. Whenever possible, dust extracted is recycled continuously to the process, for example in compaction or agglomeration. A further option available to some products is by post treatment of a granule or powder with low levels of a suitable liquid, often oil. A suitable dosing and blending system is required often followed by a sieve system to remove or break down any agglomerates formed prior to packing.

Patent Outsourcing Limited attorneys are authorised to directly file applications for both UK registered designs and registered community designs (covering the entire EU) and we can also assist with filing applications worldwide.

Our specialist team of design rights experts is one of the largest and most experienced in the UK. As the leading UK filer of Community Registered Designs, the team has filed thousands of designs for companies ranging from global corporations to SMEs which means we have the best chance of ensuring your designs are fully protected. Design rights protect the appearance of a wide variety of products and other articles. They can protect industrial items as well as aesthetic or artistic creations, sometimes in situations where patent or trade mark protection is not possible or viable. Whatever you have designed, our team will make sure it is protected in the best way possible.

Before making changes in a business, it is useful to see what has already been done in the area so as to not reinvent the wheel. This allows a more targeted approach to the challenge at hand. That is where our desk-based studies can come into play: with access to the latest scientific publications, patents, market analyses and over 100 scientists in the fields of chemistry and biology at the University of York, we are well placed to explore what options are available to you.

Transvac direct contact steam Desuperheaters (sometimes known as attemperators) are used as a method of steam temperature control, reducing the temperature of superheated steam. A desuperheater’s function is to produce steam temperatures approaching saturation temperature (typically to within 3°C). To cool the superheated steam, a medium, usually water, is entrained and flashed into vapour by absorbing heat from the steam.

Gaining flow measurement inside a pipe can sometimes be tricky. The DFM 6.1 Doppler Flow Meter works as a non-contacting, clamp-on flow meter to offer effective clamp-on pipe flow measurement from outside the pipe. Its Doppler technology makes it perfect for use as a water flow meter, specifically for difficult liquids, or liquids with suspended solids such as wastewater, slurries, sludge, chemicals, viscous liquids, and abrasives. The non-invasive Doppler ultrasonic flow meter fits a pipe 12.5 mm (0.5 in) inside diameter or larger, and clamps to the outside of the pipe, gaining flow measurement readings without interrupting the process.

3 Hibiscus Software Packages 1 Route to Chemical Labelling Compliance For the last 30 years, our Hibsoft technical team has been developing and creating labelling software and SDS Management Software to solve our customers’ headaches. Our in-house team of programmers and developers work closely with our sales team to find out what our customers need, then develop a custom-made solution, exclusive to Hibiscus Plc. Our three major software packages are: Harmoneus, Prometheus and Enterprise. Harmoneus is designed to advise on the international classification and labelling requirements for chemical products and recommends Safety Data Sheet contents to comply with several different legislations; Prometheus enables you to produce and manage your own Safety Data Sheets, which are needed whenever chemicals are supplied to be used in the workplace, and Label Enterprise is a one-stop shop for producing high-quality, hazard warning labels for carriage, supply, janitorial and many other functions. Each software is designed to be used independently, as a stand-alone product, or integrated (optionally) with the other two pieces of software. Prometheus is able to interface directly with Label Enterprise to form an integrated solution to your labelling and safety data sheet requirements, without the need for dual entry data; once you’ve created your SDS, all the information you need for your labels can be quickly and easily accessed from your single database. Our understanding of the industry and the surrounding legislation mean that our software is simple to use, compliant with regulations and produces the results you need.

All of our services are available on an ongoing or one-off basis. We act as a DGSA on Demand for several customers where they keep our contact information on record and only use us for support when they need it.
