Walmec North America’s Four-Stage Membrane Dryer

Walmec North America’s WNA AMD-035 Membrane dryer is a prime option when compressed air applications require Ultra-Clean and Ultra-Dry air.

According to Walmec North America, the WNA AMD-035 Membrane dryer has a four-stage pre-filtration that is critical to its longevity and function. It has a flow rating of 35 SCFM and maximum working pressures of 150 PSI.

The first and second-stage filters remove moisture, liquids, dust, rust, scale, and other contaminants to five microns. An automatic float drain under the second stage filter opens and expels all collected liquids whenever an ounce or more is present. It is fully automatic with no continuous air loss. The third and fourth stages remove any remaining particles down to .01 microns and absorb any remaining

American textile company Vidalia Mills based in Vidalia, Louisiana, has implemented a technologically advanced digital tracking system that asks the industry to reconsider how companies trace cotton products throughout the supply chain. This technology, unprecedented within textile manufacturing, guarantees full accountability for all the products Vidalia Mills creates.

The digital tracker, embedded into the cotton fibers themselves, enables Vidalia Mills to monitor the journey of their products from moisture or oil vapors. The Membrane Dryer lowers humidity by venting it harmlessly into the surrounding atmosphere. A flexible input hose assembly eliminates the hazards of damage from vibrations in piped compressed air systems and allows the Membrane Dryer to be installed in any position. www.walmecna.com the initial stages of cotton cultivation to the final finished goods.

The four-stage pre-filtration includes differential pressure gauges and comes complete with mounting brackets. The differential pressure gauges provide a visual indication of required maintenance which is easily done by installing the appropriate service kits. No need to remove the unit from the compressed air system.

By integrating this advanced tracking system, Vidalia Mills aims to provide its customers with complete assurance regarding their cotton products’ origin, quality, and sustainability. Vidalia Mills’ digital tracking system is now available for all its cotton products, including its signature artisanal canvas and denim fabrics. Customers can access detailed information about the origin and journey of their clothing by scanning a unique QR code on the garment’s label. www.vidaliamills.com

The digital tracking information will be readily available for each product, providing customers with a comprehensive understanding of the item’s journey from seed to shelf.

ZwitterCo™ Introduces New FDA-Compliant Anti-Fouling Membranes for Whey Processing

ZwitterCo announced the availability of a new product line of sanitary superfiltration (SF) spiral membrane elements featuring its second-generation SF technology. These membranes are FDA-compliant for whey processing, including producing products such as whey protein concentrate (WPC) and whey protein isolate (WPI).

ZwitterCo, a leader in developing and commercializing organic fouling-immune membrane technology based on the extreme hydrophilicity of zwitterions, has focused primarily on high-strength water and wastewater treatment to date. With this new sanitary product line, the company is now pursuing dairy and food processing.

“ZwitterCo’s anti-fouling membranes enable dairy processors to fully recover performance with a shorter, faster cleaning program that reduces chemicals, water, and energy requirements and saves time and money,” said Jon Goodman, ZwitterCo’s Vice President for Food Processing & Specialties. “ZwitterCo is developing anti-fouling membranes that are the next evolution of membrane technology for food and dairy processors.“ www.zwitterco.com
