These motor brakes avoid issues with wear and heat buildup
The MagnaShear motor brake (photo) employs oil shear technology that transmits torque between lubricated surfaces, thereby preventing wear on friction surfaces. A patented fluid-recirculation system dissipates heat, eliminating heat buildup, which is the most common problem in dry braking systems.…
Gently grind challenging materials with this cone mill
The CGM 750 (photo) is a new cone mill with a diameter of 29.5 in. (750 mm) that gently grinds fatty, heat-sensitive, sticky, moist or fragile materials into uniform particle sizes with minimal fines at rates up to 32 metric…
Comprehensive density measurement for many chemicals
The CL 10HY-V2 density cell and Series 2000 density digital converter (photo, p. 37) can be used to measure the density of ammonium hydroxide, caustic soda, ethylene glycol, methanol, nitric acid, oleum, phosphoric acid, sodium chloride and sodium hydroxide. The…
Achema Show Preview
Achema — the world forum and tradeshow for the chemical process industries (CPI) — is hosted by Dechema e.V. (www.dechema.de) every three years in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. This year, the event will take place June 11–15 and will feature…
Focus on Safety
Protect bioreactors from a variety of contaminants Viresolve Barrier capsule filters (photo) protect against bioreactor contamination by removing a range of viruses, mycoplasma and bacteria from cell-culture media. These barrier filters are designed to provide high-flux and high-capacity virus filtration…
This oxygen analyzer is designed for smaller boilers
The Rosemount CX1100 in-situ oxygen analyzer (photo) is said to be the first high-performance, zirconia-cell-based combustion-control system designed to improve energy efficiency and meet environmental regulatory requirements for small and midsize boilers. It features the same sensor reliability found in…
Show Preview IFAT
IFAT (May 14–18, Munich, Germany; www.ifat.de) is the world’s leading tradefair for water, sewage, waste- and raw-materials management. This year, two additional halls have been added, with more than 3,100 exhibitors expected to participate, presenting the latest products and services…
Hygienic magnetic mixer for life-science applications
The MBE Series MagMixer (photo) has been specifically designed for reliable operation and regulatory compliance in life science applications. The unit has no shaft penetrating the tank and so requires no mechanical seals, which significantly reduces the risk of leakage…
Level monitoring in covered storage bunkers
Operations challenged with managing inventory in covered storage bunkers or flat warehouses have a new option that combines leading-edge software and the 3DLevelScanner acoustic sensor (photo) to measure the level of materials piled under structures. Multiple sensors measure and map…
A new family of signal splitters configured for easy setup
The new SP230 series of isolated signal splitters/duplicators (photo) are designed for easier installation and setup. Four models, covering a broad range of sensor signals, provide dual 4–20-mA outputs proportional to a single current, voltage or temperature input. A USB…
