MoviTherm, Irvine, California, has launched its Intelligent Early Fire Detection (iEFD) system, which, when hot spots are detected, is designed to send fast, real-time alerts to building occupants and first responders using internet of things cloud-based software. The iEFD system:

  • uses a web browser to display an interactive map that pinpoints the source of the potential fire
  • notifies building occupants and first responders of hot spots via voice and text messages or emails
  • offers a network of modems that is enabled in case a facility’s internet fails
  • connects with a facility’s integrated fire suppression system

Bulk Handling Systems Polishing Screen

Eugene, Oregon-based Bulk Handling Systems’ Polishing Screen is designed to create three material fractions: mixed fiber, containers and fines. Fiber passes over the screening surface; fines fall through the scree; and three-dimensional containers fall off the back of the screen. Some of the Polishing Screen’s features include:

  • a two-piece disc design that allows for easy replacement of discs without shaft or bearing removal
  • a disc shape and configuration with precise openings designed to ensure more accurate material sizing
  • inline discs that minimize material wrapping, reducing downtime and enhancing safety
  • the ability to adjust the angle of the screen and fantail quickly to meet processing needs

Komar EM-60G Auger-Pak

Groveport, Ohio-based Komar Industries LLC’s EM-60G Auger-Pak is designed to shred and compact material, reducing transportation costs by compacting 6 to 10 tons of material into a 40-cubic-yard container. Some of its features include:

  • a cycloidal drive with 500 percent shock load, which enables the EM-60G Auger-Pak to process large loads without damaging the drive
  • cast steel flights used in the auger screw that ensure a long service life and a tapered shaft design to absorb forces, minimizing stress on bearings
  • continuous forward-processing motion to prevent materials from springing back as they sometimes do in ram compactors
  • a footprint of about 10.5 feet by 8.5 feet and a height of slightly less than 5.5 feet
