Emerson has announced its ASCO series 353 pulse valve has been redesigned to help OEMs and end-users achieve a more effective, efficient and convenient bag cleaning. With a higher peak pressure, wider temperature range, patented quick mount clamp connection and overall part simplification, the series is said to provide longer bag and filter life and lower maintenance.
The TIP-TITE Drum Dumper from Flexicon transfers hazardous bulk material from small and large drums into downstream processing equipment or storage vessels automatically and dust-free, maximizing worker safety.
The Dynatrol DJ Level Switch is designed for application to either high or low point level detection of bulk solids. The detector operates successfully on applications such as baghouses, cyclone separators or above airlocks. Read More
Festo has announced the VTSA IO-Link, a valve terminal that includes an IO-Link connector for use on the company’s ISO valve manifold VTSA. The VTSA series is capable of handling many ISO-style or high flow valves, with the added advantage of being able to use different sizes on the same manifold.
The DC 11-Module from Dustcontrol is a dust extractor which is made for source extraction of dust and chips and for cleaning. The dust extractor and the turbopump are mounted on a common chassis. The unit can be connected to a fixed pipe system.
Fike has announced it will now offer 3M Novec 1230 fire protection fluid in its patented Impulse Valve Technology fire suppression system. The company’s fire suppression systems are manufactured with impulse valve technology to improve the release of the agent into the zone with greater precision and reliability.
Compact level sensors from VEGA with 80 GHz radar technology are said to provide reliable measurement results under all conditions. The VEGAPULS sensors, as well as switches and controllers, provide level, point level, and pressure measurement instrumentation.
The DCAP-PV pump from Ralston Instruments is said to generate pressure and vacuum easily and then control pressure to very precise test points. If the transmitter is an absolute pressure transmitter, the hand pump can generate a vacuum to reach below ambient pressure test points.
L.J. Star has introduced a design concept to visual flow indicator assemblies. Designed for hygienic/sterile applications in pharmaceutical, food/beverage, brewery and biotech industries, the clamp type sterile visual flow indicator, or CT-SVFI, uses a patent-pending design to prevent the O-ring seal gaskets compression issues that lead to contamination associated with conventional screwed or threaded fittings.
BETE electrically-actuated hydropulse spray nozzles from John Brooks Company are available for hygienic (EHP) and industrial (EHPI) applications. Units are said to assure precision volumes are sprayed directly onto your processing target, with overspray waste virtually eliminated.
