This manufacturer of air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps has recently introduced its 76-mm (3-in.) size Full-Stroke Integral Piston Diaphragm (FSIPD). The new FSIPD (photo) is ideal for use in the company’s Saniflo FDA pumps, as well as its Original, Advanced and…
One of the problems faced with blowing-seal type rotary valves is to maintain the air velocity between the valve and the conveying pipe while still achieving a good rotor pocket purge. Designers at this company have solved this problem using…
The NML-308 is a miniature, synthetic float-level transducer suitable for level measurement in vessels up to 48 in. tall. The floats are made from PTFE and the tubes are 316 stainless steel. The fittings are available in PTFE, polyethylene (PE),…
The expanded HydroWhirl Poseidon line of tank-washing nozzles now includes lower flowrates. The nozzles can now handle flowrates ranging from 4.45 to 26.3 gal/min. The smaller-sized nozzles are designed to fit through openings as small as 2 in., while maintaining…
This modular “pod” system is a self-contained, batch weighing and metering system that delivers dry powder ingredients directly into a vacuum-conveying line with high accuracy and low cost, according to the company. The new pod system is suitable for the…
The new range of ARBO sealless, thermoplastic immersible centrifugal pumps are ideal for situations where metal pumps could suffer from the effects of corrosion. ARBO single-stage immersible pumps can handle capacities up to 300 m3/h at differential heads up to…
The ECP Series of thermoplastic quarter-turn electric actuators (photo) features glass-filled polypropylene (GFPP) housing, which provides corrosion resistance. This housing allows the actuator to operate in applications in harsh conditions, where metal actuators are not suitable, including water and waterwater…
The Raychem ETS-05 electronic, surface-sensing thermostat (photo) accurately controls and monitors temperature for heat-tracing installations. Compared to previous electronic thermostats, it provides an increased maximum current load, larger connection terminals, a broader temperature-control range, local LED indications and an additional…
The new automatic FloCo-TOP-2 fuel-oil de-aerator was designed for continuous de-aeration and filtration of fuel oil, diesel, biofuel and biodiesel with 0–20% FAME in oil-fired heating systems (single-line systems with return supply). The de-aerator features a number of technical innovations.…
Automated process valves using pneumatic actuators always require a range of various instrumentation components to build specific functions for each application. In conventional single-engineered solutions, components are typically assembled all around the actuator. To date, valve assembly-related instrumentation has been…
