Gardco also introduces a series of Telfon-coated Quickblades, made of type 304 stainless steel. The HSX series Turbo blade has serrated teeth that help with heavier grinds and speed up the dispersion process of high solids batches, reducing grind time. The HSXP series Turbo Pump
blade has serrated teeth as well as alternating fins in the center of the impeller to help p u m p material through the blade. The combination of serrated teeth and pumping fins creates both high dispersion and high pumping action from one blade-especially useful if there is difficulty in pulling powders down into the vortex. Finally, the QuickBlades PMP Series impellers are designed primarily for blending, mixing and general agitation. The PMP series blade is similar to a fan blade, so that the

Gardco introduces the PDV-2e/M, a multi-source portable desktop viewer. The viewer features four light sources (D6S, CWF [TL84 optional], incandescent, and UV); an elapsed time meter to monitor usage of the daylight source; an international voltage selector (with multiple voltages); and a hinged construction that allows quick set-up and pack-up. Side walls assure tight control of viewing environment and are stored on the rear of the unit. Compliant with ASTM D1729 standards, the PDV-2e/M is a tool for visual color assessment, comparison of color variations, and the detection of metamerism. For more information, visit www.gardco.com.

The Teflon®coated impellers are the right choice for paint, ink and adhesive manufacturers that need the ability to clean their blades between batches. A blend of fluorocarbon lubricants in an organic resin binder and solvent system offers superior release characteristics, chemical resistance and will wear longer than pure PTFE. The tungsten carbide-coated impellers are for those who require an abrasion-resistant hard coating. The tungsten carbide coating is applied using HVOF (high velocity oxygen fuel), creating a hard, smooth finish. The hardness of the tungsten carbide coating is above Rockwell's 'C' chart and will last longer than other coatings. For more information, visit www.gardco.com.

introduced a new, higher efficiency cartridge filter for its Ultra-Web nanofiber technology line. The new Ultra-Web SB, certified by independent lab tests at MERV 15 efficiency, delivers longer filter life, cleaner air, and greater energy savings. This filter media combines the surface-loading and dust release capabilities of high efficiency UltraWeb technology with a strong spunbond polyester substrate for enhanced durability, moisture and chemical tolerance. The Ultra-Web SB is ideally suited for applications that face challenges from agglomerative dust in industries, such as chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, textile, grain, woodworking, metalworking and others. Ultra-Web SB filters are available as replacement filters for Donaldson Torit cartridge dust collectors as well as all other popular dust collectors. To meet a wide variety of application needs, Donaldson Torit provides a full Ultra-Web line that filters submicron dust particles (0.3 micron and larger) with MERV 13, 14 or 15 efficiency ratings.
