ROTOSAFE Rotary Level Indicator |
| |
 |
4B introduces a new and improved Rotary Level Indicator. The ATEX
approved RotoSafe incorporates two detection circuits. One circuit
indicates when material has impeded the paddle, and the other circuit
provides indication when the paddle stops turning, therefore making it a
failsafe solution for high level or plug condition monitoring in bins,
silos elevators or conveyors. |
|
|
Bonus features include user adjustable sensitivity, LED indication and a
corrosion resistant housing. Specifications: Supply: 120/240 VAC /24 VDC
- Approvals: CE approved for Europe. ATEX versions available - Class 2
Division 1 groups e, f, g for US & Canada - Protection: IP65 – NEMA 4 -
Enclosure: Flame-retardant glass fiber reinforced nylon - Output:
Changeover Relay Contacts - Weight: 2.25 lb. ... |

Akzo Nobel selects Optimass to control
product consistency and manufacturing costs |
| |
 |
World leading producer of paints and coatings, Akzo Nobel Decorative
Coatings, has installed four KROHNE OPTIMASS Coriolis Mass
flowmeters to help accurately control product consistency and minimise
production costs. The OPTIMASS flowmeters control the volume of
chemicals that are added to Akzo Nobel’s Crown range of solvent-based
paint products at its manufacturing plant in Darwen, Lancashire. |
|
|
Accurately measuring the amount added to the paint is essential to
minimising costs and maintaining consistent product quality. The
chemicals are contained in stainless steel storage vessels, which are
located 70 meters away from the production facility. They are pumped at
low pressure through the OPTIMASS flowmeters and in to mixing vessels
where the paint is manufactured in batches. The flowmeters accurately
measure the flow of the chemicals into the paint mixing vessels. Signals
from the instruments are fed into the production control system which
controls the flow of the chemicals from the storage vessels to ensure
that the correct amount is added. Previously Akzo Nobel measured the
amount of chemical added to batches of paint using a load cell-based
weighing system. ... |

Moisture in Oil Measurement – EE36
Transmitter from E+E Elektronik |
| |
 |
Transmitters of the EE36 Series from E+E Elektronik allow most
accurate online-monitoring of moisture content in oil. That is very
important to ensure the safe operation of machines and transformers
concerned. If the amount of moisture in lubricating or insulating oils
becomes too high then there is a high risk of damages to machines and
transformers. |
|
|
The quality of lubrication and the dielectric strength are decreased
dramatically by increase of moisture in oil. Maintenance works can be
done on demand and in time when the oil’s moisture is measured
constantly by EE36. Expensive periods of standstill and long lasting
repair works will be avoided. A continuous operation of machines and
transformers is warranted. Besides measurement of water activity (0...1
aw) and oil temperature (-40...180°C // -40…356°F) the EE36 also can
calculate the absolute water content (ppm). That is very important for
mineral transformer oils. The calculation of water content in
non-mineral transformer and lubrication oils can be accomplished by
downloading specific parameters of the oil. The proofed capacitive E+E
sensor element ensures for best long term stability, ... |

Watchdog "Elite" Bucket Elevator Monitor |
| |
 |
The bucket elevator monitor for the 21st century. The 4B Watchdog
"Elite" uses non-contacting, magnetic sensors to monitor belt speed and
belt alignment at the head / boot or both. Additional sensors monitor
bearing temperature, head pulley alignment and plugged spout conditions. |
|
|
The system incorporates dual microprocessor control, using the latest
PIC microprocessors and non-volatile (EEPROM) memory chips. An LCD
screen displays elevator status messages (available in four different
languages) and a super-bright LED screen displays belt speed. All units
automatically select supply voltages from 110VAC to 240VAC (50-60 HZ)
and supply the sensors with fully regulated 12VDC. Voltage free isolated
relay contacts are provided for alarm, stop, underspeed, misalignment,
and temperature. RS485 communication is also available for connection to
plant computers / PLCs. Simple menu-driven calibration and parameter
adjustment. Cert: ATEX/IEC Ex Zone 21 ... |

Rotary Torque - setting new price
standards |
| |
The new range of rotary torque transducers from Applied Measurements
provide an economical solution to rotary torque measurement. With prices
starting from as low as GBP980.00, they are designed primarily for use
on test stands, machines in industry, aerospace, marine and the
laboratory. Covering ranges from 0-0.2Nm to 0-80kNm these transducers
use either conventional slip rings or for high speed applications,
brushless transmission, enabling torque to be measured at up to
20,000rpm. Mechanical coupling options include keyed shafts, square
drives, flanges and combined shaft and flange versions. Output signal
options include standard bridge mV output or higher level amplified
voltage (0-5Vdc, 0-10Vdc) or current (4-20mA). In addition to their
torque measuring capability, some models incorporate speed measuring
devices to permit the direct calculation of power in addition to torque
and rotational speed. To facilitate a complete installation a
comprehensive range of digital and analogue instrumentation is offered
including system calibration and certification to UKAS standards. ... |

VTI's 3-axis acceleration sensor for new
biofeedback device |
| |
VTI Technologies supplies its new SCA3000 3-axis accelerometer
for a novel Swiss-made biofeedback device named ikcal. The purpose of
ikcal is to promote the awareness of medium- and long-term measures
aimed at behavioral modification. It measures individual's calorie
consumption through physical activity and compares this with their
personal energy uptake in the form of food consumption on daily basis.
In addition to the energy balance, the ikcal also indicates whether a
person is exercising sufficiently. The physical activity is calculated
by measuring the heart rate and the acceleration which are converted
into kilocalories. There is a great need for this kind of biofeedback
device. The alarming fact is that more and more people in the industrial
nations suffer from chronic obesity. According to the World Health
Organization (WHO), the global incidence of obesity has risen in the
last ten years from 10% to 14%. Several renowned Swiss institutions from
the areas of science, technology and sport were involved in the research
for and development of the ikcal. ... |

New analogue temperature transmitter
family T91 |
| |
 |
Enhanced product portfolio for industrial and HVAC (heating,
ventilation, air-conditioning) applications. WIKA is enhancing
its temperature transmitter portfolio. The new T91 temperature
transmitters are available with voltage or current output and in rail or
head mounting versions. |
|
|
These analogue temperature transmitters are characterized by fixed
measuring ranges for Pt100/Pt1000 or thermocouples. Industry-compliant
accuracy, interference resistance and sensor monitoring are further
features of these compact signal converters. The T91.10 head mounting
transmitters can be mounted inside any DIN form B connection head. In
addition the T91.20 head mounting version is also suitable for DIN form
J connection heads. The T91.30.232 rail mounting transmitter offers a
useful special feature: The sensor input and output are galvanically
isolated - despite the analogue construction. For this reason the
T91.30.232 is ideal for fast measurements even with non-insulated or
base-metal thermocouples. ... |
