Fargo Controls, Inc.
Proximity Sensors for Metal Detection Fargo Controls offers inductive proximity sensors for detecting the presence of metallic objects. Inductive proximity sensors detect the presence of metallic objects. Their operating principle is based on a coil and high frequency oscillator that creates a field in the close surroundings of the sensing surface. The presence of metal in the operating area causes a change in the oscillation amplitude. This change is identified by a threshold circuit, which changes the output of the sensor...

Sweed Machinery, Inc.
SOLVING SLITTER LINE SCRAP CHALLENGES CHOP, CHOP. Indaco Metals Inc. set out last fall to find a better way to handle and dispose of its steel scrap. Based in Shawnee, Okla., the company produces sheet steel wall panels, standing-seam metal roofing panels and trim components used in its pre-engineered and custom metal buildings. At the time, scrap from Indaco 's trim and slitter lines was being collected, folded and stuffed by hand into bins for recycling. The process was messy, slow and potentially hazardous. It also made... (read more)Browse Refining and Recovery Equipment Datasheets for Sweed Machinery, Inc. -

MarShield Radiation Shielding in Nuclear Medicine storage containers are often referred to as "pigs ". Solid tungsten is a very commonly used material because it is durable and has slightly better gamma radiation attenuation than lead. The drawback of tungsten is that it is significantly more expensive than the lead. Solid tungsten can also be made into syringe shields and vial transport containers. Lead pigs can be susceptible to being damaged or dented over time but is often more cost effective than tungsten. The pigs can be encased in metal...
