Backlit keyboard
03 July, 2009 byBackplane Systems has released the TKG-086-MB-BACKL InduProof 3 backlit keyboard that is IP68 rated and fully sealed with backlit keys.
Gentle horizontal mixer
03 July, 2009 byEgretier has released the horizontal dual mixer with a simple rotor that can mix many kinds of different raw materials together, gently.
Electric actuation
03 July, 2009 byThe CVA electric actuator from Rotork is claimed will hold the setpoint, feature no deviation and will respond quickly to a change. Controlled by a 4–20 mA signal, the CVA is suitable for the direct-drive actuation of linear or quarter-turn control valves. The CVA demonstrates accurate control valve automation, combined with advanced, non-intrusive calibration, valve diagnostics and the simplicity, user-friendliness and economy of electric operation. Mechanical features include the ‘double-sealed’ enclosure, whereby internal electrical components are permanently protected from the effects of the operating environment.
Continuous clarifying separator
03 July, 2009 byThe AC 2500 clarifying separator from Flottweg is for continuous clarification of liquids.
Compressed air audit
03 July, 2009 byBy undergoing an audit which evaluates energy consumption within all areas of the compressed air system from generation, treatment to distribution and process usage, the user can identify where energy savings can be made. This may be something simple such as repairing air leaks within the airline pipework system to implementing a low carbon technology such as a frequency controlled screw compressor to more energy-efficiently meet fluctuations in compressed air demand.
Extending snack products
03 July, 2009 byThe Baker Perkins Snack Master allows a wide choice of equipment to be added to an existing production line.
Enhanced hygiene mixer
13 May, 2009Mixquip, a division of Teralba Industries Fluid Process Equipment, has released a Mixquip Top Entry Agitator that incorporates IP66 drive assembly and all stainless steel construction to meet the increased demand of quality produced food beverages.
Jet cleaning head
01 April, 2009 byThe Toftejorg TZ-82 Rotary Jet Cleaning Head provides a tank cleaning diameter of up to 60 m.
High-pressure spray gun
01 April, 2009 byThe Lagafors Triggless II Spray Gun features an ergonomic design that reduces muscle stress on the user and allows for a range of different gripping methods. Its lightweight design also means that it can be used comfortably with one hand.
Hydra-Cell industrial pumps
01 April, 2009Hydra-Cell pumps can handle recycled fluids with particles in suspension of up to 500 µm.
Gears for DC motors
01 April, 2009 byWorm 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.
Vacuum dryer sealing
01 April, 2009 byTwo 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.
Level detector and flow actuator
01 April, 2009 byThe Microprecision Electronics MP300 switch series feature an attached floater actuator for easy liquid detection in industrial refrigeration and other process control applications. By adding a floating polypropylene ball mounted on a stainless steel level actuator to a switch from the V3 size MP300 switch series, Microprecision has designed a simple solution that accurately determines when a specified liquid level is reached. Once the switch is activated, the MP300 switch series can trigger a signal as an input for a PLC or directly switch power of up to 6 A.
Single function controller
01 April, 2009The Wallace & Tiernan Single Function Controller (SFC) is a single measurement unit which is suitable for the measurement and control of disinfectants, allowing devices such as dosing pumps, electric stroke positioners and continuous actuators to maintain accurate and measured concentrations.
PET blowing compressors
01 April, 2009 byAtlas Copco’s ZD high-pressure compressors have been certified oil-free air with a Class 0 certification.
