Automatic Cleaning Solutions

Integrating an automatic solution on your processing equipment means that every single surface, as well as the peripheral areas and ‘dark spots’, is cleaned during each cleaning cycle. Nozzle bars placed in strategic places and customized to match the equipment will ensure a consistent cleaning result every time.

Pump Rebuild vs Pump Remanufacture

SPX Flow, in conjunction with M.G. Newell, offers pump rebuilds and pump remanufacturing on standard WCB positive displacement pumps. These options allow you to get a longer life from your pump and reduce the cost of product ownership.

Compound Planetary Inline Spiral Bevel (SBT)

Compound Planetary Inline Spiral Bevel (SBT) gearmotors combine our Inline Planetary (IL) and Spiral Bevel (SB) gear reducers to offer a greater variety of speed reduction than either gearbox alone. Compact and highly efficient, SBT gear motors are ideal for high ratio, high power applications.

Nuvonic

Our PureLine D PH systems are aimed specifically at providing UV treatment for product and process waters used in the food and beverage industry. By using a UV system you will eliminate harmful micro-organisms, reduce the bio-burden, protect against bio-fouling, lead to fewer CIP/SIP cycles and lower operating costs. Each system comes with a UV sensor to measure the active output of the UV system and make it easy to monitor and log performance.

Electropolishing vs. Passivation

Understanding Electropolishing and Passivation The key to understanding why it’s not “electropolishing vs. passivation” is understanding what each process is and what it does. Both processes are chemical in nature, sharing the common goals of preventing corrosion and, by extension, promoting the longevity of the equipment and the system being treated. But that’s where the similarities end.

Magnetic Flowmeters - How They Work

Magnetic flowmeters calculate product flow by measuring the change in voltage as the conductive liquid moves through the magnetic field.

An Overview of Sanitary Fittings

A sanitary fitting connects different sections of your process – piping to pumps to heat exchangers to tanks. Let’s tip our hat to the sanitary fitting– quite possibly the most used piece of equipment in your plant.

Plate Heat Exchangers

In the food and beverage industry, efficient heat transfer is crucial for maintaining product quality, ensuring safety, and optimizing production processes. One technology that has revolutionized heat transfer in this sector is the Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE). With their compact design and superior efficiency, PHEs offer a range of benefits that make them ideal for food and beverage processing.

Kest Technology

Kest Technology - We are pleased to announce that our partner recently received certification for ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015.

JBC-100 Batch Controller

Process control at your fingertips. The JBC-100 batch controller puts flow control directly into the hands of the line operator.

Heat Exchangers: Flow Patterns

Flow patterns are a critical design factor in any shell and tube heat exchanger, directly impacting heat transfer efficiency, thermal stress, and overall system performance. Engineers can select from three primary flow patterns—parallel flow, counter flow, and crossflow—but in many cases, combining these patterns leads to optimal results.

Pump Overview

A pump is a device that raises, transfers, delivers, or compresses fluids or attenuates gases through suction or pressure. Its characteristics include pressure, friction, and flow. Positive displacement pumps, such as single and double rotary lobe and diaphragm pumps, are commonly used in the sanitary industry.

SPX Flow - Preventative Maintenance Checklist

Implementation of preventive maintenance plan keeps SPX FLOW products running at optimal levels and protects your product investment.

Coriolis Flowmeters 101

A Coriolis mass flowmeter operates on motion mechanics principles, using a vibrating tube to measure fluid flow. As fluid moves through, it accelerates towards peak amplitude vibration, while decelerating fluid moves away, causing a twisting reaction.

A User’s Guide to VFD Terminology

A VFD is a device that controls the speed of an electrical motor by varying the frequency and voltage of its power supply. The VFD also has ramp-up and ramp-down capabilities to start and stop the electrical motor smoothly.

Cabinet Washers - Reliable, Consistent Cleaning

Food and beverage manufacturers have a significant number of process items that need to be cleaned daily - and everything needs to be clean quickly to keep production moving.

Carlton Scale

RapidCalTM Tank Scale Calibration is a new way to calibrate tank scales. It’s similar to calibration with test weights but, in place of weights, it uses hydraulic cylinders to create the downward calibration force with that force measured by high accuracy reference load cells.

Solving Separation Anxiety with Systems Controls

One would expect a systems control integrator to understand equipment controls. But what happens when your controls integrator also understands the process? You get an improved production process, reduced maintenance, and more productivity!

Steam Water Venturi Mixer

Steam enters the valves through the lower steam inlets and passes through venturi inlets into the mixing chamber.

UL Certified

M.G. Newell is pleased to announce that we are now a UL-508A certified panel shop! Congratulations to our entire staff of Controls and Automation engineers and technicians on this milestone achievement!

Day in the Life of a Project Engineer

From planning and design to implementation and start-up, a project engineer does it all! Take a look behind the scenes of a day in the life of Julia, our project engineer at M.G. Newell.

Mixing Basics 101

Mixing is simply defined as blending two or more materials into one single product. The individual components, each with their distinct properties are considered “mixed” when the final product reaches the maximum state of uniformity and all individual differences have been eliminated. Mixing is a critical process because the quality of the final product and its attributes are derived by the quality of the mix.

ExiFlo - Flow path integrity testing

Accurate, reliable data-driven results. ExiFlo is a retrofit hardware device that monitors and tests the integrity of liquid or gas systems in heat exchange systems, identifying leaks and ensuring pass or fail certification before distribution.

System Cleaners

Open plant cleaning solutions for the food and beverage industry. Sometimes a standard solution will do the job and sometimes it takes a customized one. What matters is that the solution perfectly matches your specific requirements and challenges. No more and no less.

Graco EODD Pumps

QUANTM is the world’s first (and only) affordable electric-operated double diaphragm (EODD) pump built to minimize energy consumption by cutting energy usage and costs by up to 80%.

How We Made It Work Better - A Case Study

A juice manufacturer dumped powders into the top of blend tanks which are on a mezzanine about 15’ high. Their process re-circulated pectin through an old-fashioned tri-blender and tank arrangement. They said, “We don’t have a mixing problem.” Sound familiar? However, they were interested in a process to get pectin powder into solution more efficiently.
