AIR-OPERATED METERING PUMPS
The Duodos air-operated diaphragm pumps are pneumatically operated and require no electric components. They are ideal for transfer of viscous, shear-sensitive and outgassing media. The pump is dryproof and self-priming. The pump feed rate can be adjusted by changing the pressure in the air supply. The pumps feed up to approx. 6,700 l/h media to a feed lift of 70 m.

VIBRATORY FINISHING MACHINE
The Model OR-3 compact round-bowl vibratory finishing machine features a 3-cubic-foot tub with a rotating divider that creates multiple compartments for individual part deburring and a sound hood that keeps noise to an acceptable level. The divider prevents damaging impingement and eliminates fixuring of metal parts. Like the tub lining, the divider is made of urethane that protects delicate parts during contact. When in place, parts can be loaded or unloaded from the rotating mass without stopping the machine. Alexander Tools Ltd.
