Inline density measurement
06 July, 2009 byThe inline density measurement of liquids is now possible with the Liquiphant M sensor. In food and beverage applications it is claimed that this density measuring sensor can reduce material wastage, increase product quality and optimise control of the process.
Clear object sensors
06 July, 2009 byBanner Engineering’s World-Beam QS30 Clear Object Sensors provide reliable clear object detection to solve challenging applications. The Clear Object Sensor utilises an advanced optical design to allow the sensor to see translucent materials, ensuring dependable detection of clear targets including PET bottles and glass containers.
Level detection in bins, silos and hoppers
06 July, 2009Siemens has added the Sitrans LVS100 to its line of vibrating point level switches for high, low or demand levels of dry bulk solids in bins, silos or hoppers.
Wireless discrete transmitter
03 July, 2009 byEmerson Process Management has released wireless float switch solutions that combine its Mobrey float switches with the Rosemount 702 wireless discrete transmitter.
Safety glow mat
03 July, 2009 byThe Glow Hog mat is for use in any facility where emergency conditions may cause a reduction in light for evacuation or after-hours access.
Thermal flowmeter
03 July, 2009 bySierra’s Steel-Trak model 640S immersible thermal mass flowmeter is now available in a special high-temperature option capable of operating in process temperatures up to 400 °C.
IP 67 wireless data logger
03 July, 2009 byThe wireless temperature data logger EBI 25 from ebro Electronic is waterproof (IP 67) and has a temperature measuring range of -30 to +70 °C.
Liquid and gas flow measurement
01 April, 2009 byAlthough 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.
Check-metering kit
01 April, 2009The Sitrans FUP1010 check-metering kit is a portable clamp-on unit, designed for the water and wastewater industry to measure the performance of existing flowmeters with accuracy, performance, versatility and compatibility.
Turck inclinometer
01 April, 2009Turck 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.
Analog and digital temperature
01 April, 2009 byBanner Engineering has introduced a new way to collect analog, digital and temperature information in hazardous areas. The system is a combination of wireless communication, battery technology and intrinsically safe electronics.
Linear position sensors
01 April, 2009 byThe MTS Systems Sensors Division Temposonics linear-position sensors can be instrumental in improving the filling process for facilities that package a wide variety of products. Where a packaging facility once required a combination scale to switch back and forth between various products during packaging cycles, the MTS linear position sensors can be used in equipment that is more compact due to fewer moving parts, as the sensors can replace a number of other components in the machine.
Broken bag detection
31 March, 2009 byDusty is a broken bag detection system. It uses a triboelectric measuring technique and detects solid particles in a gas flow. The particles must be 0.3 µm in size, or larger.
Solids flow sensor
31 March, 2009 byFlowJam is a non-contact flow/no flow sensor for solids. It uses a microwave technology to give results under harsh conditions of dust and sunlight. It is suitable for detecting solid flows in hoppers, conveyors, screw conveyors, air slides, etc.
