Feed & Grain magazine, which serves feed manufacturers and firms involved in handling and processing grain commodities, featured AirSweep in its latest blog.
The article AirSweep Keeps The System Flowing tackled a common issue among food manufacturers: clumping of ingredients that tend to hold moisture. A global food and agribusiness company was using hammers, but needed a more efficient flow aid to keep up with factory expansion.
Read about why they chose AirSweep, and how it improved their material flow, work environment, and their bottom line.

Control Concepts, Inc. announced today the new RotoGuard® IV speed switches, an electronic speed switch device for sensing the reduction, increase, or loss in rotational motion associated with many types of moving equipment.
The RotoGuard IV is designed with an optical encoder and multi-toothed interrupter wheel to transform the rotation of the input shaft to voltage pulses. The unit can detect changes in motion between 1 and 400 RPM and provide a change of state, or alarm, when a variation in operating speed occurs. The RotoGuard IV may be directly coupled to another shaft or driven with a belt or chain.
“If one machine malfunctions, the RotoGuard switches can shut off the system to prevent further damage and delays that can cost thousands or even millions of dollars,” said Henry Tiffany III, president of Control Concepts, Inc.
The new RotoGuard IV features:
Solid state electronics
Universal Voltage Input
Startup delay (0-120 seconds)
Alarm delay (0-60 seconds)
Models available with NEMA 4/5 Rating (weatherproof and dust tight) or NEMA 7/9 Rating (Explosion Proof [EP models cannot exceed 100 RPM.])
UL Listed
Made in the USA
The RotoGuard® IV is available in four models ranging in price from $700 – $900. With a warranty of three years, these speed switches have one of the longest guarantees in the industry. See more about the new product here.
