Use this actuator for small-diameter valves

The new EA15 electric actuator (photo) is designed for small-diameter, open/close ball-valve applications in chemical processing, refrigeration and water-treatment facilities. Key features included in the standard package are: open/close limit switches; seven-segment error code display; adjustable internal heating element; and…

New silicone tubing eliminates particulate shedding

AdvantaSil High Pressure unreinforced silicone tubing (photo) is designed to deliver increased flowrates and reduce processing time. The tubing’s unreinforced characteristic allows for limited pumpability up to 30 psi backpressure and makes it easier to see process fluids. AdvantaSil High…

Isolate steam, condensate and process media with these valves

Last month, this company introduced the PV4 and PV6 piston valves (photo) for isolation purposes. They are available in NPT and SW versions, in sizes from½ to 2 in., in either forged carbon steel or forged stainless steel. These valves…

Zero-leakage sealing for bulk powder handling

The New-Seal technology (photo) provides zero-leakage sealing of bulk solids for screw conveyors, paddle or ribbon mixers, rotary valves, mixers, blenders and agitators at temperatures up to 300°F. Externally pressurized gas-bearing technology (supplied at 4 bars) maintains seal-gap pressures at…

A clog-resistant tank-cleaning head

The clog-resistant Hydroclaw tank-cleaning head impacts a jet of water on a claw-like plate, which shatters the fluid into a 360-deg pattern, effectively covering the whole tank. Traditional cleaning heads typically have multiple small orifices that form a 360-deg cleaning…

A particle analyzer for nano-scale identification

The new FlowCam Nano particle analyzer features Nano-Flow particle-imaging technology that provides digital images of particles ranging in size from 300 nm to 30µm (photo). The system automatically reveals protein agglomerates, silicon oil droplets, glass shards and other opaque, transparent…

A very compact standalone PLC

The new Micro PLC VIPA Control (photo) is an ultra-compact standalone PLC featuring high channel density. The system has a width of less than 72 mm, making it up to 50% smaller than typical micro controllers, says the manufacturer. Designed…

Automated alarm management reduces manual calculation work

The newest release of the PlantState Suite (PSS) software, version 8.3, includes the new Alarm Mechanic feature, which is designed to improve console operator performance by minimizing nuisance alarms through automated analytics and recommendations. With the addition of Alarm Mechanic,…

Test turbine trip systems without disrupting production

This company’s new, patent-pending pneumatic trip system (photo) with partial-stroke actuation provides quick testing of turbine trip systems while the equipment is still running. There is no disruption to production, and the trip valve will still work if an overspeed…

A portable mixer for laboratory and pilot operations

The Crossover 1540 overhead mixer (photo) features a 0.5-hp motor delivering 3,000 N∙cm of torque for effective mixing in large laboratory, pilot-scale and small production volumes. The portable Crossover is designed to mix up to 200-L (50-gal) drum volumes from…
