These dryers feature a versatile base to accommodate auxiliaries
This company’s rugged fluid-bed dryers feature unitary steel bases as standard, which allow cover-lift hoists, process-air ductwork, control panels, monitoring instrumentation and other auxiliary equipment to be attached to the system as a single unit. Providing a dedicated, non-moving foundation,…
Focus on Valves
These versatile, modular valves enable quick installation More than 2,500 configurations are available in the the Spira-trol Control Valve family (photo). These modular valves are pre-commissioned in the manufacturer’s U.S. factory, and are shipped within two to three days of…
Signal transmission and functional safety combined
EtherCAT terminals (photo), part of this company’s ELX Series, have been expanded through the addition of analog input terminals with built-in TwinSAFE SC (single channel) technology. These highly compact I/O terminals can be used to support applications in hazardous areas…
Continuous vibration measurements improve uptime
The new 3561 FC vibration sensor (photo) improves uptime by adding remote, continuous vibration monitoring to virtually any rotating equipment. With a frequency range of 10 to 1,000 Hz, the 3561 FC detects and notifies users of conditional changes caused…
Comprehensive monitoring for heat-trace circuits
The TraceNet Genesis control and monitoring system (photo) manages heat-trace circuit performance on process lines, tanks and instrumentation. The TraceNet Genesis system gives instant access to comprehensive heat-trace circuit information, including circuit performance history, fault analysis and circuit drawings. Using…
This agitator avoids fibrous buildup
The Chemineer RL-3 impeller (photo) has been specifically engineered to prevent fibrous material buildup on the rotating impeller. This rag-shedding impeller also provides a strong axial flow for efficient blending and solids suspension. The design allows for a safer process…
New release of this structural analysis software
GT Strudl 2018 R1 software offers fully integrated and database-driven software for general finite element analysis (FEA) and comprehensive structural engineering design. The solution includes 10 functional areas that operate seamlessly with one another. This release includes new capabilities that…
These AODD pumps have a safety-enhancing design
New C-Series air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps (photo) are designed to enable the housing parts to be tightened to each other via housing bolts. Rather than using single bolts that press against the housing, all of the C-Series’ bolts are tightened…
Cybersecurity for legacy control systems
SerialTap (photo) is a new cybersecurity solution for legacy industrial control networks that rely on serial communication protocols, such as RS-485 and RS-232. SerialTap consists of a patented sensing device that passively intercepts serial communications on legacy industrial control networks…
A new valve series for extreme conditions
The new 190 Series (photo) of control and shutoff valves features dye-forged pressure-containing parts (valve housing and bonnet), guaranteeing a homogeneous material structure without any discontinuities. Such microscopic defects, which are very difficult to prevent and to evaluate, especially on…
