The new LED light fixture (luminaire) for escape-path-marker signs (photo) is suitable for Zone 1/21. The sign is attached to a suspended panel, making it easily visible from both sides of an escape route from a distance of 30 m,…
The second-generation ThinkTop V50 and V70 control units have been re-engineered to offer fast and intuitive setup and commissioning; a repositioned Gore vent; a more compact and aesthetic design; burst-seat clean functionality; and a QR code for easy online access…
A low-cost “green” technology for water desalination and zero liquid discharge of industrial wastewater that has been drawing increasing attention is solar steam generation using nanostructured photothermal materials. However, the crystallization of salts on the surface of photothermal materials during…
Wireless condition monitoring for rotating machinery Last month, this company introduced the Sulzer Sense wireless IoT condition-monitoring system (photo). The solution includes wireless sensors that are attached to a pump, agitator, motor or any rotating equipment. The sensors measure temperature…

VersaMix multi-shaft mixers (photo) incorporate a proprietary powder-induction feature for efficient charging of thickeners to produce high-quality gels, creams and pastes. The VersaMix includes a three-winged anchor and a high-speed disperser blade, which provide a robust combination of shear and…
The VC-8000 Setpoint machinery-protection system (photo) has received SIL-2 certification, allowing it to be specified and used as part of SIL-rated functional safety applications. These typically include, but are not limited to, radial vibration, axial position and bearing temperature measurements…
The Aircube Eco 4V ePM1 60% compact air filter (photo) is designed for the filtration of indoor air in buildings and process units. The filter conforms to the ISO 16890 standard and has an A+ energy rating according to Eurovent.…
The automatic VROC initium Model II viscometer (photo) is now available for viscosity characterization of any solvent-based solutions. VROC (viscometer-rheometer-on-a-chip) technology combines microfluidic and MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) technologies to measure dynamic viscosity over a wide range of operation. High-throughput and…
Pumping hazardous chemicals requires specific shaft-sealing technologies to ensure containment and reliability Hazardous chemicals are defined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA; Washington, D.C.; www.epa.gov) as those that are potentially harmful to human health and the environment. Existing as gases…
