Fully rebuilt to perform like brand new, ROSS re-conditioned double planetary mixers are dependable workhorses for high-viscosity and heavy-duty applications. The pictured reconditioned Model DPM-4 has been meticulously restored to as-new working condition and offers the same standard one-year warranty as a new ROSS Mixer. Especially effective for thick and sticky semi-solids, the patented high-viscosity (HV) blades (US Patent No. 6,652,137) rotate on their own axes, while orbiting the mixing vessel on a common axis.

Hempatherm IC is a seamless coatings system with one of the market’s highest-film-build capabilities, offering superior protection and mitigation of corrosion under insulation (CUI) by significantly reducing the risk of water ingress and retention. Made up of Hempatherm IC 170 and Hempatherm IC 175, the system is designed to replace many conventional insulation systems in the critical CUI temperature range. It provides both thermal insulation and mitigation of CUI, thereby maximizing the service life of industrial equipment and assets. The Aerogel filler provides low thermal conductivity, capable of replacing many types of conventional mechanical insulation within the critical CUI temperature range, from -25 °C up to 177 °C (350 °F).

Coval Technologies will offer custom-made acetone sprayers to distributors to sell with its coatings in 2024. The stable base, three-gallon sprayers will be packaged with all the components needed to successfully install Coval products, including installation instructions, a 72” acetone-resistant hose, and applicable spray tips. Other benefits of the sprayers include EPDM seals for protection from acetone effects and a tank made with HDPE that will not crack, dent, or corrode. A built-in inflation valve allows pressurizing the sprayer using a compressor or air source for large jobs.
