Improved packaging efficiency through smart monitoring

The Quattro monitoring system (photo) delivers performance data, reports deviating values and makes processes and service easier to plan. To use Quattro system monitoring, the machine is equipped with a router. The data collected from the system are sent to…

Identify chemicals anywhere with this handheld Raman analyzer

TacticID-1064 is a new handheld Raman analyzer for realtime identification of unknown substances in the field. The TacticID-1064 is said to possess the ability to identify more samples with better accuracy and faster speed than similar Raman devices. It is…

Radar level measurement for smaller process connections

The Pulsar Model R86 non-contact radar transmitter (photo) provides level-measurement performance with a smaller-wavelength 26-GHz radar signal, which results in smaller antennas and improved resolution. This is an important distinction for some process vessels because the smaller beam angle allows…

A large rotary lobe pump for sensitive products

This company is expanding its Novalobe pump range with the large-volume Novalobe 60 (photo), which has a chamber volume of 2.1 L per revolution. The rotary-lobe pump is specifically designed for pumping and dosing highly viscous media with large particles…

New and flexible solutions for coarse grinding

The multi-purpose crusher MPC 150 (photo) offers three common grinding processes in module form that can be fitted onto a basic unit: a conical mill for soft to medium-hard materials; a flake crusher for brittle materials that crush easily; and…

Digitalized pneumatics replace components with apps

The new pneumatic Motion Terminal VTEM (photo) features applications (apps) that can replace over 50 individual components. The new method of function integration — combined with software apps — will simplify the value chain, since only one piece of hardware…

Graphite rupture discs provide long temperature resistance

The GRX graphite rupture disc (photo) has been developed for processes with corrosive media, low pressure and temperatures between –180 and 1,500°C. The GRX is available with a synthetic resin coating (for process temperatures up to 200°C), as well as…

IP65- and IP66-protected HMI devices for monitoring and control

This company has extended its family of all-around protected HMI (human-machine interface) devices for machine-related, cabinet-free visualization and automation. Simatic Thin Client PRO operator terminals (photo) with 15-, 19- and 22-in. screen sizes and IP65 degree of protection are new…

A new membrane for natural gas processing

Sepuran NG (photo) is a hollow-fiber membrane based on a high-performance plastic that can withstand extreme pressures and temperatures. This enables selective separation of sour gases from natural gas, with a high tolerance of higher hydrocarbons contained in the natural…

Production crimper with slide-bearing technology

The HM 665 crimping machine (photo) offers an opening stroke of more than 180 mm and an opening diameter of 580 mm (without dies). Using this company’s unique slide-bearing technology, the HM 665 can be used to crimp industrial hoses…
