01/03/13: NIR social media site; snow causes wheat price fall; 4B introduces new bucket elevator line

Foss has launched a new NIR social media website. NIRperformance.com is an online resource centre for professionals in the feed industry who work with near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy technology. 
Much of the information on NIRperformance.com is divided into four main areas: Calibration, Production controlTechnology and Application. Each of these categories features informative content that address specific issues and advances within NIR analysis in the feed industry.

Global wheat prices have taken a tumble due to adverse snowfall in the the USA. Prices have dropped to their lowest level since June 2012 following heavy snow in the country.

4B Components Ltd. has designed a new large sized ultra-heavy duty elevator bucket line intended for the most severe agro-industrial uses, such as port and river terminals, ethanol and fertilizer plants, or frac sand and aggregate operations.
The new super strong JUMBO CC-S® offers greater carrying capacity, along with ultra-durability and wear resistance. It has the thickest front lip, front corners and walls available for longer life. The JUMBO CC-S® is a High-EfficiencyTM elevator bucket, and comes in six sizes ranging from 14x8 to 24x8 with additional sizes pending.

As an extension of the proven and successful heavy duty CC-S® elevator bucket, the JUMBO CC-S® also incorporates the long lasting Iceberg® Edge front wear lip and the unique tapered bottom. Designed for the closest possible vertical spacing (projection +1/2”), the tapered bottom ensures efficient bucket fill and discharge, especially in low-profile configurations. This design allows the buckets to nest inside one another, delivering transport cost savings and storage efficiencies. “The JUMBO CC-S® offers a substantial upgrade opportunity for anyone requiring thicker walled elevator buckets”, says Carl Swisher, sales manager for material handling at 4B Components.
