The heart of every EDEM medium, heavy and extra heavy-duty vibrating conveyor is a rugged coil spring/eccentric shaft drive assembly. While simple in design, the coil springs are noted for their outstanding performance, and the unique EDEM design is built to have one of the lowest horsepower requirements of any drive on the market today. The units are powered by a high-efficiency, TEFC electric motor and standard V-belt drive. Each conveyor is custom designed and engineered to suit a customer’s requirements. All vibrating conveyors are available in both unbalanced and dynamically balanced configurations. Applications include pellet and wood biomass fibre handling; chipper infeed/chip conveyors; screening; hog infeed and metal detection. Www.edem.com www.optimil.com

This mask features an abrasion- resistant mesh exterior designed for easier airflow; elastic side straps for a more precise fit to multiple different head shapes and sizes; dual direction exhalation valves that expel breath away from glasses and goggles; and comes with a HEPA filter designed to allow for 124 per cent more breathability than a standard paper mask. The mask also accepts the RZ Industries’ current active carbon filter and is more lightweight than the company’s neoprene mask. Rzmask.com
