The Coriolis RCT1000 line of mass flowmeters (photo) was recently enhanced with the addition of an explosion-proof transmitter with intrinsically safe sensors. The hazardous-location certification opens up an array of new applications for RCT1000 flowmeters, including chemical and petrochemical processing,…
Handheld device speeds maintenance, startup efforts The AMS Trex Device Communicator (photo) uses the company’s Power the Loop technology. By removing the need for an external power supply, the device helps users work more effectivey and perform faster device configuration,…
This company now offers a wider range of process air stages by introducing the large blower series known as Alpha Blower (photo). Featuring 104 model variants, this series provides a high degree of flexibility for numerous applications. These positive-displacement blowers…
The new ERC25-25 eccentric roll crusher (photo) can process hard rock and ores efficiently and economically in underground mining operations. It features a compact design and an integrated screen that is 20 to 50% lower than conventional primary crushers, a…
In addition to large amounts of conventional dust, the new IVS 100 range of industrial vacuums (photo) also pick up hazardous, as well as combustible dust and coarse particles. The particles are vacuumed directly where they are generated and therefore…
The XperLUBE system (photo) uses automotive-style solenoid injectors to deliver lubricant in precise quantities. Unlike traditional lubrication devices, XperLUBE integrates fully with modern control systems and adapts to changes in operating conditions. A key feature is the way each injector…
Launched last month at Weftec (Chicago; October 2–4), the new Bravo chemical metering system provides improved process control with reliable, accurate and repeatable flow, and reduced chemical consumption, says the company. Bravo is an integrated, modular and scalable solution used…
The Contromat VE 450 (photo) and VE 630 (which is square shaped) handle sifting capacities between 0.15 and 0.3 m². Previously, the Contromat had been delivered without an outlet for foreign particles, which remained on the sieve and had to…
These lidded drums (photo) are dull TIG (tungsten-inert gas) welded with welding filler material and without gaps. The seams are rolled flat and finely polished inside and out. The drums are also easy to clean and residue-free, and have a…
