This auto-start sterilizer requires no pre-heating

The SteriMax Smart sterilizer uses specifically focused infrared light (IR) to sterilize inoculating loops at temperatures of 750 to 1,000°C in 5–10 s without any preheating. IR sensor technology enables an auto-start functionality. The device’s annealing tube is constructed of…

These pressure transmitters address issues with drift

The 4400 and 4600 hammer-union pressure transmitters are designed for use in hazardous areas, where pressures can reach 20,000 psi. Available with intrinsically safe or explosion-proof approvals, these transmitters have been laboratory- tested for shock and vibration resistance, and are…

A robust flowmeter designed for superheated steam

The Optisonic 8300 is a two-beam ultrasonic flowmeter for superheated steam that is capable of handling high flowrates with 1% measuring accuracy. Built for longterm use, the flowmeter has no exposed cables or sensitive elements, and features a full-bore flow…

Extreme pumping tasks solved with this ceramic vortex pump

The ceramic RCFKu vortex pump (photo) reliably pumps high-temperature (up to 180°C) fluids of an aggressive nature or those that contain solids. All RCFKu parts that come into contact with fluids, such as the impeller and volute casing, are made…

This rotary jet mixes, cleans and more

The Rotary Jet Mixer (photo) effectively handles liquid and powder mixing, gas dispersion and cleaning-in-place (CIP) while reducing time, energy and costs. In many applications, the mixer provides faster and more efficient mixing than conventional methods, says the company. It…

Wet-well analysis for CH4, O2 and H2S gases

This company’s Wet Well Monitoring System (photo) is designed for monitoring methane, oxygen and hydrogen sulfide in a hazardous wastewater-treatment-plant environment. The system incorporates the CP-60 controller with three remote 4–20-mA (24 V d.c.) sensor/transmitters in Explosion-proof Class I Div.…

These process-control systems conform to safety standards

SysCon control systems (photo) can be custom-designed for virtually any industrial process, including mixing, pumping, chemical dosing, dilution, heat exchange, separation, drying and waste treatment. Based on process-logic control schemes, these systems are routinely supplied with a recipe-sequencing program, calibration…

A precise piston pump with minimal energy expenditure

The new piston diaphragm pumps of the model series R 509.1 (photo) add to the sera dosing-pump product repertoire with eccentric screw adjusters. The operating range of the new 509.1 piston diaphragm pumps varies from 6.5 to 81 L/h at…

Improved fire safety for pneumatic control systems

Now FM-approved, FireChek thermal shutoffs with resettable memory-shape alloy (photo) can be used to automatically shut down a pneumatic control system when a nearby fire occurs, or when the ambient temperature reaches 135, 150 or 165°F. The testing and resetting…

New gas-mix software eliminates flowmeter recalibration

This company’s QuadraTherm 640i/780i thermal mass flowmeters (photo) now come equipped with new gas-mixing software, called qMix. The qMix software is a user-customizable gas-mix feature that allows engineers and operators to create custom gas mixtures to compensate for gas compositional…
