Reduce waste in sealant and adhesive applications
The Hydraulic Fixed Ratio (HFR) Metering System (photo, p. 29) improves throughput and significantly reduces waste and rework in adhesive and sealant dispense applications. The HFR is a meter, mix and dispense system that is capable of processing multiple sealant…
These pneumatic valves reduce costs for compressed air
Much of a plant’s air costs can be associated with inappropriate uses of (or artificial demand for) compressed air. This company’s Air Saver Unit (ASU) pneumatic valves (photo) save energy by interrupting the flow of compressed air to blowing end…
A touchscreen table for interactive projects
The Lift & Tilt touchscreen table (photo) is now available with a 65-in. display. The ample workspace of the display and the electrically adjustable height and tilt angle enable group interactivity, ideal for team review of collaborative or data-driven applications.…
Monitor leaks in pressure-relief valves with this switch device
FLT93L Series FlexSwitch (photo) accurately monitors pressure-relief valves for escaping flow with a flow-sensing switch-alarm assembly that is based on thermal-dispersion technology. The FLT93L switch detects leaking or seeping gas in lines to alert engineers to overpressurization. It issues a…
A range of rotameters with corrosion resistance
Instruments in this company’s PTFE/PFA Model L range of rotameters (photo) are constructed of rigid frames and inert wetted parts. Made of perfluoroalkoxy alkanes (PFA), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE), the meters are resistant to ambient corrosive media. Constructed with…
This valve actuator has safety functions
The TriVAX product family (photo) provides confidence through traceable, proven, transparent safety functions. Along with the company’s smart Partial Stroke Test (sPST) integrated into the valve actuator, these functions include a hydraulic-circuit safety system with high-quality components, as well as…
These venting systems are now approved for metal dust
The Q-Rohr family of indoor flameless-venting products (photo) has recently been approved for use with metal dusts. Q-Rohr systems can also be used with other types of dusts, gases and hybrid mixtures. These indoor systems eliminate the need for relocating…
This app streamlines commissioning and startup
The eStart mobile app (photo) is used during project commissioning and startup to digitally gather data and create loop folders to house all relevant instrument data and checksheets. Digital folder creation not only greatly reduces documentation time, but also keeps…
Comprehensive protection for laboratory workers
Westex ShieldCXP is a protective fabric (photo) that defends the wearer against hazards from both flames and inadvertent chemical splash, providing laboratory workers with a single-layer protective solution. Interactions with hazardous chemicals and flames are frequent in laboratories, so an…
This smart gearbox detects fugitive emissions
This company is developing a smart gearbox designed with an extra function for leak detection. The patent-pending Fugitive Emission Detector Gearbox forms an integral part of the valve operation and is not an external measurement device. It accurately detects leakage…
