Control in the field with WirelessHART

While the first applications of wireless technology were limited to simply monitoring processes, now WirelessHART can be integrated into the regulating process for controlling ball valves, fans and other mechanical devices. The discrete WirelessHART I/O field device (photo) can capture…

Introducing the smallest high-performance turbopump

The new HiPace 30 turbopump (photo) is currently the only turbopump on the market in its size class offering pumping speeds of 32 L/s. Its small installation footprint and low level of vibration make this pump particularly suitable for integration…

An integrated impeller mixes inside IBCs

The new Schütz impeller (photo) is a one-way stirring system that is integrated into the screw cap of intermediate bulk container (IBCs). The impeller system is available for all 1,000- and 1,250-L Ecobulk types and fits both the DN 150…

Optimized design for new connection capabilities

The Multiline Adaptive line of connectors has been further developed to create the Multiline E (photo). The unique adaptive inserts of the new product line can also be equipped with electrical and electronic connections. For integration of the E-connectors, the…

A sound way to measure sulfuric acid concentrations

Measuring the concentration of sulfuric acid and oleum is an important process parameter to ensure safety, product quality and production efficiency. LiquiSonic analyzers (photo) are used for high-precision concentration measurement in production of sulfuric acid, oleum and fertilizers, synthesis gas…

Fast cleaning of finned heat exchangers

The JetMaster process was combined with the new JetPower system, which accelerates the cleaning of finned heat exchangers in the case of very large and heavily contaminated surfaces (photo). Finned heat exchangers can be very easily contaminated, often by sand,…

Overspeed protection for turbines and pumps

Overspeed protection is a key requirement in industries where failure of the turbine- or pump-speed governing system can lead to rotor damage, with expensive consequences. Independent speed monitoring and protection is therefore an essential requirement to minimize these risks as…

A cabinet oven for Class 100 cleanroom applications

No. 1023 is a 550°F, electrically-heated, Class 100 cleanroom cabinet oven that is currently used for curing small rubber pieces in rotating drums at the user’s facility. Incoloy-sheathed tubular elements (36 kW of power) are used to heat the oven…
