The new E1500 hand-held combustion emissions analyzer (photo) is a rugged unit with the ability to measure CO and O2 from high-efficiency and condensing boilers, burners, engines, turbines, kilns, furnaces, incinerators and other industrial combustion processes. Featuring a new, large…
The MBE Series MagMixer (photo) has been specifically designed for reliable operation and regulatory compliance in life science applications. The unit has no shaft penetrating the tank and so requires no mechanical seals, which significantly reduces the risk of leakage…
Operations challenged with managing inventory in covered storage bunkers or flat warehouses have a new option that combines leading-edge software and the 3DLevelScanner acoustic sensor (photo) to measure the level of materials piled under structures. Multiple sensors measure and map…
The new SP230 series of isolated signal splitters/duplicators (photo) are designed for easier installation and setup. Four models, covering a broad range of sensor signals, provide dual 4–20-mA outputs proportional to a single current, voltage or temperature input. A USB…
This company has extended its PRO portfolio to include two new low-temperature circulation thermostats designed for the specific requirements of test benches, reactors, climatic chambers and distillation plants in the CPI. With a temperature range of –90 to 200°C and…
With the industrial internet of things (IIoT), it is essential that companies have an intelligent production-management system in order to obtain production information in realtime and store all the history in a database. CapTemp is a SCADA (supervisory control and…
A clean-in-place (CIP) system is among the largest users of consumables at a hygienic processing plant. Presented here are tips for reducing the consumption of water, chemicals and time in CIP operations In many industries there is a burgeoning awareness…
Predicting powder flow behavior is important to successful solids-handling processes. Provided here is a review of shear-cell testing and how the technique can be used to predict arching, ratholing and other behaviors The phrases “failure to discharge” and “erratic flow…
Non-representative sampling in solids processes has costly consequences. A better understanding of the mathematical basis for sampling and of acceptable quality levels can help to alleviate potential sampling issues and more closely approximate reality Effective sampling in solids-handling processes is…
Corrosion is an obvious factor to consider when selecting materials of construction for process equipment. However, the chemical environment of the process is only the starting point in selecting an acceptable material. A set of other factors can complicate corrosion-resistance…
