Turck inclinometer

01 April, 2009 | Turck Australia Pty Ltd

Turck has introduced a dual-axis inclinometer sensor for angular tilt detection. The sensors feature compact rectangular housings and may be mounted at ±10, ±45, ±60 and ±85° angles.

Vacuum dryer sealing

01 April, 2009 | EagleBurgmann Australia Pty Ltd

Two challenges encountered by processors who have to dry abrasive slurries are contamination of product by packing flecks and the loss of vacuum leading to longer and longer drying cycles. For most, the greater the vacuum, the shorter the batch time and the more profitable the process.

Coaxial valve for high-pressure media

01 April, 2009 | Air & Hydraulic Systems Pty Ltd

Air & Hydraulic Systems is distributing the complete range of coaxial valves produced by German valve manufacturer RSG.

Gears for DC motors

01 April, 2009 | M Rutty & Co Pty Ltd

Worm gearboxes (SG) are noted for their quiet running. The worm-gear shaft has bearings on both sides. The gear components, made of bronze or steel, and the lubrication ensure a long service life at the rated torque. In many applications, the location of the output shaft at 90° to the motor shaft provides an optimum design solution. On request, worm-gearboxes can be supplied with a hollow output shaft.

Real-time process control for food processors

01 April, 2009 | Omni Instruments

Real-time process control for food manufacturing has come closer, due to pioneering research work at University College Dublin into viscosity measurement techniques for characterising the flow and mixability of highly non-Newtonian fluids. At the heart of the researchers’ experiments is the TorqSense transducer made by Sensor Technology in Oxon, which monitors the constantly changing flow characteristics of materials as diverse as tomato sauce, chocolate, pasta sauce and chicken tikka massala as they are mixed.

Liquid and gas flow measurement

01 April, 2009 | Endress+Hauser Australia Pty Ltd

Although differential pressure (DP) flowmeters are based on a relatively inexpensive and mature technology, selecting and installing these devices is not simple and requires a reasonable level of engineering skill. With the Deltatop, Endress+Hauser has implemented a solution by supplying a one-stop-shop solution. All the steps related to product selection, engineering, calibration and manufacturing are now bundled together with Endress+Hauser supplying the Deltatop as a total package.

TMS-Pro System texture analysis

01 April, 2009 | SI Instruments

Texture analysis using the Food Technology Corp TMS-Pro System makes possible precise, objective and repeatable measurements of the texture of food products.

NATA-accredited pyranometer calibration

01 April, 2009 | Ecotech Pty Ltd

Ecotech has extended its NATA-accredited services to include calibrations of pyranometers.

Fresh-cut produce dryer

01 April, 2009 | Key Technology Australia Pty Ltd

Key Technology has redesigned its Auto Dryer for removing moisture from fresh-cut produce to enhance shelf life. Available in one-, two-, and four-drum configurations, the Auto Dryer features a larger 980 mm diameter drum that increases production throughput and new electronics that improve reliability and simplify operation.

Antioxidants and antimicrobials

01 April, 2009 | Hawkins Watts Australia Ltd

Hawkins Watts has appointed agents for Kemin Food Ingredients for Australia and New Zealand, effective from 1 January 2009.

Portable cap torque gauge

01 April, 2009 | IDM Instruments

The Mark-10 Series MGTC Cap Torque Gauge is a simple solution for basic handheld cap torque testing in packaging applications across the food and beverage industries.

Low-flow spray nozzle

01 April, 2009 | Spray Nozzle Engineering

The Mini-M70LF spray nozzle features maximum cleaning with low-flow and thus, maximum water savings. A lightweight, easy-to-handle spray nozzle, the Mini-M70LF is designed for heavy-duty cleaning and ensures consistent spray pattern changes, even at a low flow rate.

Compressed air training courses

01 April, 2009 | Hitachi Global Air Power

Hands-on air compressor training courses, now offered by Sullair Australia, provide practical experience in compressor maintenance and operation. Based on the same in-depth technical training used to educate Sullair’s own engineers, the training courses are tailored to suit the requirements of individual workplaces. Each course includes a theory session followed by practical training using the client’s Sullair compressors.

Intrinsically safe keyboards

01 April, 2009 | Interworld Electronics and Computer Industries

The iKey intrinsically safe keyboards are constructed in a rugged, stainless steel case with industrial silicone rubber keypads, ensuring NEMA 4X protection.
