* The Jug Adapter A device that allows one system to connect to and work with another. An adapter is often a simple circuit that converts one set of signals to another; however, the term often refers to devices which are more accurately called "controllers.  dry-colorant feeder is said to eliminate spillage and waste. The adapter allows a plastic jug of colorant col·or·ant

 to be screwed onto one end, while the other end replaces the conventional colorant hopper. A shut-off gate allows for easy replacement of the jug or its removal when machinery is idle. Invented by M.A. Hanna, the adapter is designed to work with the popular Movacolor additive feeder, which is distributed in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere.  by Romax, Inc., Louisville, Ky.

* "Address The Mess" is a new metering system for liquid colors or additives that are fed by a peristaltic pump A peristaltic pump is a type of positive displacement pump used for pumping a variety of fluids. The fluid is contained within a flexible tube fitted inside a circular pump casing (though linear peristaltic pumps have been made). . It is said to allow easy molding-machine calibration without removing the tube from the machine and reinserting it, a process that typically causes messy spills. A three-way valve temporarily diverts colorant from the molding equipment into a special calibration section of the new tube set for weighing. Instead of having to discard an entire tube set worth $10 to $20 when the metering section wears out, this system allows easy replacement of the worn-out piece for about $4.
