Indianapolis, IN-- Midwest Engineered Products Corp. (http://www.separator.com) has released an
all-new centrifuge design called CentraSep™. The design combines a revolutionary
bowl/blade clutch with a single ac motor and ac motor drive. The system
automatically removes sub-micron-to-one-half-inch particles and fines from
virtually any coolant or lubricant at a processing rate ranging from 25 to 135
gpm (gallons per minute).
With patents pending on the unique clutch and scraper design,
Midwest credits new electrical control for making the CentraSep a reality.
"Accelerating the bowl and blade very rapidly for the processing cycle, bringing
the loaded bowl to a controlled stop, and turning the bowl against the scraper
blades require high breakaway torque and extremely precise motor control", says
Jeff Beattey. "In this design, the electrical and mechanical components are
fused and inseparable."

Thanks to embedded electronics, medical devices are getting smaller and smarter than ever. Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are now able to call physicians. MRIs, CT scanners, and ultrasound machines are gaining mobility. And the venerable Band-Aid may soon be able to detect illnesses ranging from fevers to heart arrhythmias. On February 21, join Design News senior editor Charles Murray for a wide-ranging discussion, "Embedded Angles for Medical Products," which will explore the latest developments in medical electronics. The discussion will examine advances in medical device technology and offer an inside look at the embedded electronics behind it.
