Use these pump heads for extremely shear-sensitive fluids
The new Masterflex L/S Cytoflow pump head (photo) was developed specifically for pumping live cells and shear-sensitive fluids in biopharmaceutical and microbiology applications. The Cytoflow pump head has a large-diameter rotor, resulting in high flowrates at low motor speeds. The…
Focus on Feeding and Weighing Bulk Solids
Single unit combines bin discharge and feeding The Gyro Ex Bin Activating Feeder/Discharger (photo) is a combination bin discharger and high-accuracy feeder that provides a turndown ratio of up to 100:1. It uses a radial force to create a uniform…
These gear pumps have built-in pressure control
Series UP6 electric gear pumps (photo) feature the option for built-in pressure control, whereby a factory-programmed pressure setting is maintained via a microprocessor-based variable pump-speed control circuit that utilizes an internal pressure sensor for loop feedback. UP6 pumps are self-priming…
Safety sensors designed for increased vibration resistance
This company’s Eden sensors (photo) now feature a solid-state, board-level design with radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology for increased resistance to vibration and greater security. RFID technology allows for large sensing distances and its vibration resistance decreases the risk of involuntary…
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…
Easily detect seal and gasket wear in conveying applications
This company now offers metal-detectable (MD) and X-ray-inspectable (XRI) seal and gasket options on its magnetic separation equipment for gravity-fed and pneumatic-line conveying applications. The new seal and gasket options protect against elastomeric contamination in the processing line. Component parts…
This piston pump has an interchangeable drive assembly
The new TopDrive piston pump system (photo, p. 28) for cleanup applications features a fully-interchangeable drive assembly that allows for easy transitions between hand, solar, electric and top-drive pneumatic pumping without removing the well seal. This feature provides additional flexibility…
Cut energy costs in half with these vacuum pumps
This company expands its GHS-VSD+ series of variable-speed driven vacuum pumps with the addition of three new models, extending pumping capacities up to 4,800 m3/h. The new GHS 3800-5400 VSD+ rotary screw pumps (photo) are particularly suited for large industrial…
