Monitor traces of benzene with this GC unit
The eGC environmental gas-chromatograph monitor (photo) is said to be a cost-effective approach to trace-level benzene detection (below parts per billion). The manufacturer has added a new feature — a weather station — that is capable of measuring wind direction,…
Lights with reduced blue content for special applications
For certain fields of application in the pharmaceutical industry and in photograph development, where a high blue content in light might compromise the quality of the products, this company offers durable, maintenance-free alternatives in the product portfolio; for example, the…
This relay ends costly restarts following undervoltage trips
The new MAR Series Motor Auto-Restart Relay (photo) provides automatic restart to a motor by bypassing the start switch to re-energize the M1 starter coil following a momentary drop or interruption of the control voltage. The MAR Series is suitable…
ACHEMA Show Preview
Engineers from across the chemical process industries (CPI) will convene June 11–15 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, for Achema 2018. Over 3,800 exhibitors will showcase some of the world’s newest equipment, services and technologies for the CPI, and a concurrent…
Advanced low-maintenance rotary vane pumps
The new two-stage Sogevac NEO D rotary vane pump (photo) is equipped with a high-quality exhaust filter inside the oil casing. Built-in filtration reduces the required integration volume of the pump and ensures a cleaner environment without oil smoke or…
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…
A PLC that supports modular and user-defined functions
The new Allen-Bradley Micro 870 programmable logic controller (PLC; photo) can support applications that require up to 304 I/O points, 280 kB of memory and 20,000 program instructions. The Micro870 PLC uses a flexible design concept that provides designers up…
Dense-phase conveying for fragile granules or pellets
The E-finity (photo) is a continuous, dense-phase conveying system for fragile materials. Precise pressure monitoring and airflow corrections allow the system to operate efficiently under a wide range of conditions, while gently inducing materials through the conveying line in slug…
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…
