Easy level measurement in all bulk solids applications Many customers have the desire to find a reliable and easily understandable technology for the continuous level measurement in their silos filled with bulk goods. MOLOSbob LF20 from MOLLET exactly fulfills this customer preference. In any kind of bulk solid applications this new weight and tape based sensing technology enables a reliable continuous level measurement. Easiest installation and an error-free permanent operation even in case of changing bulk goods or varying process conditions are characterized for this measurement device. Of course, all the other technologies promise to fulfill this desire as well. However, the reality looks somewhat different. Already at beginning of operation of technologies like radar or ultrasonic problems with unwanted reflections that significantly damage the measurement results often occur. Complicated software has been developed in order to handle these kinds of problems. In case of changing process conditions or varying bulk…

SMC, the world’s leading pneumatics provider, has designed and launched a new lightweight floating joint to complement its existing range for pneumatic cylinders. The JC Series has an aluminium case, instead of traditional steel, offering significant weight loss of up to 30% and thus reducing the inertial forces and lateral loads to actuators whilst operational. It also has a dustproof cover to protect the joint which extends its operating life. Designed to compensate for any misalignment that may occur between the workpiece and the cylinder, the JC Series has a rotating angle of ±5° and allowable eccentricity of ±0.5 to 1mm. This deviation absorption capacity reduces the wear of the cylinders, extending their service time. Ideal for any pneumatic cylinder where the joint needs to absorb off-centring or loss of parallel accuracy between the cylinder and the driven body, the JC Series can operate at a maximum tensile/compressive force of 3100N for cylinder…

The new version of the VEGA adjustment software includes the 4...20 mA and 4...20mA/HART DTMs for the new instrument series VEGABAR 80. The information on the selected vessel geometry and the linearization table of the adjusted range are stored as graphics in the documentation of the instrument series VEGAFLEX 80 and VEGABAR 80. Functional enhancements for adjustment of other sensors as well as signal conditioning instruments have also been added. All VEGA DTMs available in this version have been tested and released for operation under Microsoft® Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 as well as Windows 8. This also applies to the included version (4.1 SP3) of the adjustment software PACTware. All DTMs for adjustment of VEGA sensors and signal conditioning instruments are available in DTM Collection 01/2014. The DTMs describe the functionality of the hardware and allow complete adjustment. All VEGA DTMs have been developed according to the FDT/DTM Style Guide. The new…

Mahltechnik Görgens en JAVO procestechniek bouwen samen, in opdracht van een klant in de Benelux, een pilot plant voor het malen van vochtige organische materialen. In nauwe samenwerking met JAVO en Görgens is een mobiele installatie ontworpen die gebruik maakt van standaard containers. Hierdoor kan deze installatie eenvoudig getransporteerd worden en ook op diverse locaties worden opgebouwd. De Görgens turborotor is zeer geschikt om vezelige producten fijn te malen en zorgt voor een fijner en droger product dan bijvoorbeeld een hamermolen. De warmte die vrij komt bij het malen van de materialen wordt gebruikt om het product te drogen, hierdoor stijgt de calorische waarde van het materiaal. De complete pilot plant bestaat o.a. uit: • opslag bunker • doseersysteem • metaal afscheider • Görgens turborotor • container met besturingskasten • filter installatie • schroef voor de afvoer van het gemalen product

The world’s leading pneumatics provider, SMC, is guiding its mechanically jointed rodless cylinders to further success thanks to a series of product refinements. The upgraded MY1B-Z Series basic type is ideal for long stroke applications where space is restricted and the MY1H-Z linear guide type is suitable for high repeatability long stroke applications where space is also restricted. Both models feature a number of improvements including the adjustability of the cushion needle, the dust seal band retention and easier piping, all of which offer SMC customers enhanced product performance and functionality. The cushion needle is now easy to access as it’s placed in the top of the cylinders and can be adjusted with a hexagon wrench. The overall performance and reliability of the MY1B-Z and MY1H-Z have also been improved as the number of external particles entering the systems are minimised thanks to a new magnetic dust seal band, reducing maintenance costs. SMC’s…

Berlin, Germany, 23-24 January 2014 The keynote An investigation on adhesion forces of particles on surfaces in centrifugal and magnetic fields by Prof. Nirschl of German Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, opens the congress, organized by LUM GmbH. Surface characterization of the particle itself becomes a more and more important topic industry. A Japanese scientist is discussing it on the example of the determination of the Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP) by the Separation Analyser LUMiReader®. Nanoparticle reference materials are described by Russian researchers, the dispersibility of carbon black in n-alkanes by a representative of the University of Sheffield and the dispersing behaviour of carbon nanotubes a member of the Technical University Nuernberg. Lignite hydrocolloids are measured using a Dispersion Analyser LUMiSizer at Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic. The characterization of colloidal particle aggregates is successfully performed by optical analysis in a separating centrifugal…

After over 30 years of dedicated service Herman Schutte will no longer be employed by Parker Hannifin Netherlands by the end of May 2014. For almost 11 years now, Herman has been the General Manager of Sales Company Netherlands and under his guidance and leadership the Sales Company has grown from 80 to almost 200 employees and sales have three folded. Herman Schutte has particularly contributed significantly to the growth that Parker has made in the field of building complete systems in the Netherlands. Production of hydraulic and pneumatic systems in the Netherlands is now at such a high level that The Netherlands have been certified by the Parker worldwide organization as a Global Competence Center. As his successor Parker has appointed Freddy Eggengoor, who is acting as General Manager since January 1st 2014. Freddy Eggengoor joined Parker Netherlands in 1994 as a Pneumatics Sales Engineer. Since then he has executed several sales functions, such as Key Account…

OIML approved The load cell H8Q has been awarded the OIML R60 C3 approval. The NMi (NL) have concluded that the cells have a Y-value of 15.000 for the standard C3 approval. Approved capacities are 200kg, 500kg and 1000kg. This low profile load cell (f. e. 500kg: height only 19.1mm!) is suitable for weighing applications where space is limited. Also weighing assembly is available.
