New motor options for drum pumps
This company’s Finish Thompson drum pumps and barrel-emptying pumps are now available with the TEFC (totally enclosed fan-cooled) IP55 motor (photo). The new motors include a powerful 1,000-W continuous-duty universal motor providing variable-speed operation from 0 to 12,000 rpm. The…
Focus on Valves
These versatile, modular valves enable quick installation More than 2,500 configurations are available in the the Spira-trol Control Valve family (photo). These modular valves are pre-commissioned in the manufacturer’s U.S. factory, and are shipped within two to three days of…
A pressure gage for frigid conditions
The T6500 pressure gage (photo) is designed for use in environments with extremely low temperatures. The 100-mm solid-front stainless-steel pressure gage features several design considerations to optimize its configuration for extreme conditions. The XQC option includes a low-temperature-rated silicone fill…
A solution to optimize motor performance in cooling towers
Series M Geareducers (photo) are designed and manufactured to directly replace other gearboxes in field-erected cooling towers. The Geareducer’s primary function is to reduce the speed of the electric motor to optimize fan performance by maximizing air movement through the…
Sight-glass-mounted camera enables remote vessel inspection
The EXPCMR-IP-POE-4MP-IR-SGM explosion-proof camera (photo) is a remote inspection device specifically designed for observation in hazardous locations. Operated remotely from a centralized control room, the camera’s image sensor is suitable for sight-glass applications and provides live feed from inside tanks,…
This pump handles solids with diameters up to 4 in.
This company’s vertical wet-pit cantilever pump (photo) features a fully recessed impeller that is designed for solids pumping in light to medium slurries in many applications, including floating retention-pond pumping systems. Flows up to 1,600 gal/min and heads up to…
This discharging system has built-in bag-piercing knives
The patented Material Master bulk-bag discharging system (photo) includes bag-piercing knives for the discharge of materials from bulk bags with or without an outlet spout. The system utilizes a two-ton chain hoist to lift the bulk bag into the carbon-steel…
These liquid-level sensors work when condensation is present
Typically, the presence of condensation substantially degrades the measurement signal strength of ultrasonic sensors, but new EchoTouch reflective ultrasonic liquid-level sensors (photo) work in areas with condensation. By orienting the transducer vertically, condensation runs off the unimpeded transducer face to…
These dryers feature a versatile base to accommodate auxiliaries
This company’s rugged fluid-bed dryers feature unitary steel bases as standard, which allow cover-lift hoists, process-air ductwork, control panels, monitoring instrumentation and other auxiliary equipment to be attached to the system as a single unit. Providing a dedicated, non-moving foundation,…
