True RMS process calibrator The ELEKTRO LIJN HT8100 is a professional meter performing measurements as True RMS digital multimeter as well as process calibrator generating 0 – 20 mA and 4 – 20 mA DC current signals. As DMM the instrument carries out AC / DC / AC+DC voltage measurements up to 1000 V and AC / DC / AC+DC current measurements up to 1 A. Under the current generation mode, one can manually select between 0 – 20 mA and 4 – 20 mA as well as automatic ramps on output signal. The instrument is capable of measuring current absorbed by external transducers simulating a current adjustable within the whole measuring range. The instrument is able to store measurement results into an internal memory and is designed in compliance with safety standards IEC/EN61010-1 according to CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V with double insulation protection. Functions: DC/AC True RMS Voltage DC/AC True RMS Current AC+DC measurements Generation of output current signal up to 24 mA DC Selection…

UWT-Level Control represented by Egyptian distributor UWT-"Ingeniously simple level control in bulk solids" will be represented at this year’s “Agrena” (www.agrena.net), the 14th International Exhibition for the Management & Production of Poultry, Livestock & Fish by our Egyptian distributor Al Fahd Steel (www.alfahdsteel.com). The exhibition takes place in the Cairo International Conference Center in Cairo from 28th until 30th June, 2012. We are looking forward to welcoming you with some interesting news.

70% less energy consumption than freeze dryers The new Glatt innodryer allows the most gentle drying of herbs and other temperature sensitive products. The valuable ingredients of the herbs are maintained during the drying. The energy consumption is only a fraction of conventional technologies. An entirely new and patented drying process has been developed by Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH in cooperation with innodrying GmbH. This process is especially designed for the most gentle drying of high-value herbs, saving not only form, texture and color but also the essential oils. These dried products are by far superior to products produced by conventional drying processes. During a two-year development period this has been proven for many herbs, e.g. basil, chives, tarragon and parsley. Currently the application is tested for mushrooms and additional high value temperature sensitive products. Compared to conventional freeze dryers the Glatt innodryer saves about 70% energy, resulting in low processing costs. In addition…

A new sensor for estalishment of the load. To monitor the loading of tanks and silos a variety of load cells are available. A number of these has the disadvantage of only detecting whether the material inside the container is located above or below the sensor line. Other systems are indeed able to measure fill levels, the limitation however, is the surface of the material in the silo or tank. This surface depends on the product and is not necessarily representative of the true volume. Bulk loading and unloading for example, leaves a slope which may be asymmetrical. Typically bulk material will also vary in density when it enters the silo to the subsequent compacting as it settles. Fluids measuring, on the other hand, is effected by the formation of foam and/or the viscosity of the fluid against the container. There is a solution to this. By combining a special mounting kit with a specific load cell, it is possible to directly determined the content load of a silo or tank at the base of the container stilts.…

Remote Radio-Frequency Level Indicator The Remote Auto-Set is a radio-frequency level indicator that allows single point level detection of most liquids and bulk granular materials such as powders, grain, sugar, cement etc… The remote version allows the programming and monitoring to be achieved at a distance of up to 100 metres between the control module and the transponder. The Remote version is recommended for situations where - the level probe is not easily accessible - regular recalibration is necessary i.e. for various products used in feeders etc - the level indicator is exposed to vibration and possible impact. - the product is at temperatures up to 250ºC The control module ATSR1V0A has a display and is simply programmed using push-buttons and switches. Like the standard version, it has a power shield function that enables it to automatically compensate for material build-up on the probe. ATEX-approved for zones 20, 21 & 22

Dust protection with self-cleaning effect New antenna cover keeps the measuring system of radar sensors free of dust at low cost In applications with extreme dust generation, an antenna cover is an inexpensive option for keeping the measuring system of VEGAPULS radar sensors clean. The self-cleaning GORE-TEX antenna cover guarantees reliable, maintenance-free operation. For radar sensors, one simple rule applies: the higher the frequency, the more vulnerable the antenna is to buildup and dirt. In applications with extreme dust and buildup, the antenna system is often kept clean with compressed air. Compressed air, however, is an expensive resource. So in the search for a more efficient way to protect the parabolic and horn antennas of VEGAPULS 68 and SR 68 radar sensors against dust deposits, an alternative to cost-intensive compressed air was considered. The innovative GORE-TEX antenna cover is a simple, cost-effective way to keep the antenna system clean. Having all the advantages of this special…

in 3 versions: compact, extended rigid or flexible Nivotherm introduces for the Netherlands the new universal level switch for solids, the Capanivo CN4000 series.

Bladel - NL, 10 May 2012 – In 2011, KSE received an order for building a complete micro dosing line in Scandinavia. The order contains multiple ALFRA dosing machines, ALFRA flexible silos, ALFRA dose&weigh software as well as the pneumatic transport. The different ordered parts are for supplying the existing mixing line of the factory. The complete new micro dosing line will be built against this. The process First the different raw materials will be transported in big bags or bags to 25 meters height through a lift before it’s emptied in the ALFRA Batch Bulk Transport (BBT). Then the ALFRA BBT transports the raw materials to various ALFRA silos, which unloads in different micro-dosing systems of ALFRA. From the dosing systems they are dosed in the sending vessel of the ALFRA pneumatic Transport (APT). Finally the APT blows the raw materials into the existing mix line. This whole process is controlled by the ALFRA dose&weigh software. As we deliver…
