RICHARDS & ALLAN (NUTS & BOLTS) LIMITED

This versatile tool is ideally suited for low to moderate levels of production for assemblies that require installation forces up to 22.2 kN (5,000 lbs). The Model PMX Extra Heavy Manual Pin Inserter easily accommodates quick change-overs. The fixture is simply replaced at the base of the machine, and the pin diameter is easily changed by switching the pin driving chuck. This Extra Heavy Duty Manual Pin Inserter will provide smooth operation, repeatability and durability.

An accurate and consistent method to install virtually any Compression Limiter into plastic applications requiring up to 4.5kN (1000 lbs). Install just one Compression Limiter into one assembly, or several Limiters across multiple assemblies simultaneously for increased productivity. The Model CP’s quick-change tooling creates the flexibility to adapt the platform to a variety of products within seconds. The Model CP has a 230mm x 280mm (9”x11”) work area and is built on a rigid steel frame with high-precision shafting and linear bearings resulting in smooth operation, precise positioning, repeatability, and durability. The Model CP is available with optional enhancement features for error-proofing and maximum efficiency.

Flexibility in chemical, food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical production. With only one machine, different products and product quantities can be produced with the most suitable tool. The tool shaft can be easily disconnected from the drive, e.g. for cleaning, while continuing to work with a second shaft. The tool shaft has a shaft bearing separate to the motor, which is driven via a plug connection. The possibility of adding a mobile lifting stand offers additional flexibility. Batch sizes from 5 to 1,000 l are covered by the X50, X100 and X200 series. The X100/X50 adapter enables an X100 to be used to produce batches ranging from 5 to 1,000 l. By simply exchanging the shafts, it is possible to conduct jet mixing, mixing dispersion, dispersion, powder aspiration and wetting. Maximum flexibility creates investment security - short set-up times and easy handling.

The YSTRAL inline dispersing machines work according to the rotor-stator system. The dispersing machine is suitable for the production of suspensions, solutions and emulsions in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Due to the close radial gap between rotor and stator and the high circumferential speed of the rotating rotor, very large shear gradients are generated. The product enters the shear zone through the slots between the rotor teeth and leaves it again via the stator slots. Due to the multi-tooth configuration of rotor and stator, additional mechanical forces act on the product to be dispersed. The product is guided through a rotor-stator system. The liquid is highly accelerated by the inner rotor ring, is completely decelerated at the stator ring and then accelerated again to maximum speed via the next rotor ring. In this way, solid particles and/or droplets are effectively comminuted and homogeneously distributed.
