A breakthrough in “green” corrosion protection
BioPouch (photo) is a new, “green” vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor for protection of metal parts in a non-ventilating space. BioPouch is powered by the company’s NANO VpCI technology, primarily made from agricultural byproducts. NANO-VpCIs emit from the pouch and saturate the…
This magnetic filter removes small iron particles from fluids
This company recently introduced a magnetic filter (photo) that captures very tiny iron particles (as small as 1µm in diameter) in industrial liquids, such as lubricating oil, solvents and coolants. Removing iron particles from such products reduces damage to machines…
A modular vacuum gripper series with many independent gripping zones
The new MVG Modular Vacuum Gripper series (photo) can be tailored to desired sizes, and users can also configure: the vacuum generators; the gripping interfaces (foam or suction cups); and the vacuum level control (electronic vacuum switch or vacuum gauge).…
Industry-first controller for IIoT-enabled operations
Launched last month, the DeltaV PK controller (photo) makes the advanced automation of the DeltaV distributed control system (DCS) available to fast-growth industries traditionally less reliant on large-scale automation. The next-generation controller provides scalable automation control to all process industries,…
Zero-leakage sealing for bulk powder handling
The New-Seal technology (photo) provides zero-leakage sealing of bulk solids for screw conveyors, paddle or ribbon mixers, rotary valves, mixers, blenders and agitators at temperatures up to 300°F. Externally pressurized gas-bearing technology (supplied at 4 bars) maintains seal-gap pressures at…
A clog-resistant tank-cleaning head
The clog-resistant Hydroclaw tank-cleaning head impacts a jet of water on a claw-like plate, which shatters the fluid into a 360-deg pattern, effectively covering the whole tank. Traditional cleaning heads typically have multiple small orifices that form a 360-deg cleaning…
A particle analyzer for nano-scale identification
The new FlowCam Nano particle analyzer features Nano-Flow particle-imaging technology that provides digital images of particles ranging in size from 300 nm to 30µm (photo). The system automatically reveals protein agglomerates, silicon oil droplets, glass shards and other opaque, transparent…
A very compact standalone PLC
The new Micro PLC VIPA Control (photo) is an ultra-compact standalone PLC featuring high channel density. The system has a width of less than 72 mm, making it up to 50% smaller than typical micro controllers, says the manufacturer. Designed…
Hazardous-gas detection with an array of sensor options
The GSM-60 hazardous-gas monitoring system (photo) is designed with an internal sampling pump and can use both internal sensors and remote sensor transmitters to continuously monitor up to four gases. The instrument is capable of utilizing an array of sensor…
Powtech Show Preview 2017
Bulk solids experts, process technicians, engineers and plant operators from all over the world will gather in Nuremberg for Powtech 2017 (September 26–28; www.powtech.de). Around 900 exhibitors in six exhibition halls will be presenting their latest equipment and systems for…
