The containment base having a generally cylindrical wall portion, a bottom wall portion below the bowl, and a corner wall portion connecting the cylindrical wall portion and the bottom wall portion. The containment base having access ports for cleaning and the corner wall portion is a curved wall portion having a radius of curvature of at least one inch with no sharp interior corners between the planar bottom wall portion and the cylindrical wall portion. A liner, such as a polymer liner, may be installed on the cylindrical wall such that it is adjacent the upper edge of the bowl and extending upwardly on the cylindrical wall. Whereby a batch seed treater is provided with enhanced cleaning and maintenance capabilities.

Abstract: A device for translaminating tension-sensitive films from a first liner to a second liner, wherein the device has a first transport device, a second transport device, and a laminating device. The first transport device is configured to transport a first laminated strip to a film delaminating station. The second transport device is configured to transport a second strip-shaped liner to the laminating device, which is designed to laminate the tension-sensitive film onto the second liner in order to form a second laminated strip. The first transport device and the laminating device are arranged relative to each other such that the tension-sensitive film is pulled off at the film delaminating station in the direction opposite the running direction of the first laminated strip at said station.

Abstract: The control device is used to control delivery of fluids from a multi-fluid delivery system during a medical injection procedure. The fluid delivery system includes an injector used to deliver injection fluids to a patient. The control device is operatively associated with the injector for controlling discrete flow rates of injection fluids delivered to the patient. The control device includes a housing, first and second actuators associated with the housing, and an electronic substrate disposed within the housing and having a conductive pattern. The first actuator is operatively associated with the conductive pattern. The conductive pattern includes a plurality of predetermined digital values corresponding to discrete flow rates of injection fluids to be delivered by the injector. The second actuator is operatively associated with the electronic substrate and initiates output signals to the injector corresponding to desired mixture ratios of the injection fluids to be delivered by the injector.
