Eriez launches Germany-based company
Eriez, the Erie, Pennsylvania-based manufacturer of separation technologies, has established Eriez-Deutschland GmbH (Eriez-Germany), headquartered in Recklinghausen, Germany.
Piezo Driver
With the addition of a new multi-channel, low noise piezo driver, PI is expanding its offering of high precision piezo amplifiers for applications that require electronics to drive multi-axis piezo positioning stages or need a multiple channel high voltage source in a compact, economical design.
Bundle Breaker
The PRAB Bundle Breaker installs in a conveyor's in-feed hopper, where dual rotating cylinders agitate the material, shredding stringy wads of chips, turnings, and bundles apart to allow for effective processing in downstream equipment. The PRAB Bundle Breaker may be added to an existing conveyor or incorporated into a new PRAB metal scrap processing system.
