TOSHIBA launches its next gen industrial label printer the B-EX4T
TOSHIBA TEC has announced its next genrange of heavy–duty industrial printers - the B-EX4 series. The B-EX combines the features and functionality of the established B- SX range with the added benefits of increased performance and operability. This reliable printer offers premium capabilities as a standard, thus lowering initial capital out lay and future proofing investment - a key benefit for businesses in the current financial climate. The B-EX, which is fully compatible with the SX range, is ideal for use in the manufacturing, transport and logistics industries. Building on the easy operation of the SX
range, Toshiba’s B-EX4 incoporates a user replaceable snap in printhead and a platen roller which keep maintenance costs low. The intuitive graphical LCD ‘helpdesk’ display is clear and easy to understand prompting users to take corrective action, it also reduces the need for extensive training. With a real-world print speed of 14 ips the
B-EX4 has a 40% improvement in productivity compared to the 10 ips offered by the SX range, it also benefits from a print head
lifecycle of around 4 million inches(100 km). Equipped with Ethernet and USB 2.0 as standard the B-EX4 offers the option to include parallel port and wireless LAN capability.
Additional functions to the range include
built-in automatic thermal head resolution detection, DHCP address display and an automatic feeding/back-feeding default position. Other features include side opening, double ribbon motor control, automatic centre media loading, near edge or flat printhead, optional ribbon save and basic command interpreter (BCI) compatibility. Every Toshiba label printer is equipped with the world-class Green technology ribbon saving function and the B-EX4 is no exception. With nearly 40% overall lower power consumption compared to its predecessor, and lower than 9W in standby, the B-EX4 ecological industrial printer qualifies for a New Energy Star rating beating every other competitiors in a recent becnmark test.

Malvern’s new telephoto lens challenges the limits of real-time particle size measurement
The introduction of a new telephoto lens for Insitec laser diffraction process systems from Malvern Instruments enables the on-line
measurement of larger particles, extending their application in the minerals, powder coatings and food industries, amongst others. By combining two different focal length lenses, the innovative telephoto design concentrates an expanded measurement range, with a new upper limit of 2500 µm, into a physically shorter lens, just 160 mm in length. Compatible with all current Malvern Process products, the new lens can replace those 300 mm or 450 mm models currently in use in the field. An on-demand presentation focusing on the performance of the new telephoto lens is freely available online at:
www.malvern.com/telephotoweb By increasing the upper sizing limit of Insitec technology from 1000 µm to 2500 µm, Malvern’s new telephoto lens broadens access to reliable continuous laser diffraction particle size measurement, enabling customers to tackle new applications and increase the efficiency of current systems. Additional benefits include improved stability and ease of alignment, better vibration tolerance, robustness to temperature, and reduced space
PRODUCTS & SERVICES Flexicon at PPMA
The versatility of its flexible screw conveyors and pneumatic conveyors will be the main focus of the Flexicon Europe stand B16 at this year’s PPMA exhibition, where visitors will have the opportunity to see both conveying systems in action. The company is also taking the opportunity to introduce to show visitors its UK Test Laboratory Service where it can validate the performance of both pneumatic and flexible screw conveyor systems using a customer’s actual bulk materials. Such a major contributor to improving bulk material flow is Flexicon’s flexible screw conveyor, a totally enclosed system preventing contamination of the product and plant as well as preserving the moisture and temperature levels of the materials being conveyed. As the name implies the Flexicon flexible screw conveyor can move material vertically, horizontally or to any angle – over, under or around obstructions. During operation the flexible screw self-centres as it rotates and the gently rolling action prevents separation of the blend throughout the entire length of the conveyor.
requirement without
compromising measurement quality at lower size limits.
ISO13320 compliant and suitable for both wet and dry measurements, examples of applications for the new telephoto lens include: salt, continuous granulation, roller compaction, minerals pre-processing, atomised metal powder, fertilizer, agrochemicals and methyl cellulose, among others.

Generally ideal for bulk materials transfer over longer distances is Flexicon’s Pneumatic- Con dilute phase pneumatic conveying system which is available in a choice of operational platforms – a vacuum system ideal for transporting material from multiple sources such as storage vessels, process equipment, trucks, etc., to multiple destinations and a positive pressure system typically used for conveying from a single source to one or multiple destinations.
On stand B16 Flexicon will also be showing a number of recent developments including the Single-Trip-Bag unloader, a Bag Compactor and Bulk Bag Conditioner – all an integral part of a range of bulk materials handling systems designed to increase plant efficiency and productivity as well as improving site safety.
