The near-infrared borescope NIR-B 3XR (photo) delivers continuous, high-accuracy reformer-tube-wall temperature (TWT) measurement, furnace optimization and monitoring, giving operators the ability to measure temperature point data and to store this data for future analysis. Operating with a wide-angle field of…
The Dry-Pro line of dry vacuum pumps (photo) feature contact-free operation that requires no lubrication in the pumping chamber, minimizing process contamination and pollution caused by the pump operation. The Dry-Pro line offers dry-screw vacuum-pump designs with fixed- or variable-pitch…
With cross-flow microfiltration, suspended particles can be removed from pickling acid effectively. Due to their high resistance against acids, caustics and abrasive metal particles, the T-CUT tubular modules (photo) are particularly suitable for this application. The symmetric tubular membranes are…
As a replacement for conventional submersible pumps, this company supplied two eight-stage, sealless canned-motor pumps of the TCAM 30/4+4 Series to a Swiss fine-chemicals company as an alternative to conventionally sealed pumps. The supplied submersible pumps (photo) are the longest…
This company has added four new sizes to its existing series of universal-seal pumps (photo), bringing the offering to a total of 16 different sizes, with available flows up to 364 m3/h. This includes the addition of a smaller-sized pump…
This company has updated its LiveLink for SolidWorks products. As an add-on to the company’s Multiphysics software, LiveLink for SolidWorks allows a computer-aided design (CAD) model to be synchronized between the two software packages. The latest version of LiveLink for…
The EBP Series of explosion burst plugs (photo) are used to protect plastic extrusion equipment from overpressurization. The EBP Series’ welded design provides a flush attachment, preventing potential product buildup. Stronger welded joints make EBP devices more resistant to increased…
The BW Clip4 (photo) is a new four-gas, portable monitor that can operate continuously for two years without the need to change sensors or charge batteries. BW Clip4 monitors significantly reduce maintenance costs associated with fleets of portable gas detectors…
