TARGO-VENT is an opening angle limiter developed especially for vent panels, which guides the pressure relief specifically into areas, in which there is no danger for the adjoining infrastructure. It dynamically and progressively cushions the vent panel situated beneath it, and can therefore also assimilate large kinetic forces resiliently. The damper absorbs the enormous repulsive forces of the explosion energy and guides the flames and shock wave in the desired direction. Depending on what’s required the flames and shock wave are diverted at a defined angle of approx. 30° to approx. 45° upwards or to the side. Facility operators can therefore minimise the safety areas around the vent opening. The utilisable area is increased. A further advantage of TARGO-VENT: the top module is made in all the usual vent panel sizes, so that retrofitting in existing units can be undertaken without a problem. Conversions or new buildings are protected by TARGO-VENT without…

Brady’s new Safety Signs Sliders are visual communication platforms that accommodate up to 4 facility signs. They can be used to communicate important safety and awareness messages to employees and visitors and are extremely easy to update and customise.

Precise and maintenance free solid flow meter The house brewery „Zum Schlüssel“ is a well know restaurant and „Altbier“ brewery in Düsseldorf. The traditional house on the „Bolkerstraße“ produces „Schlüssel“- Altbier since 1850. The beer is brewed according to the old top-fermented brewing way. The malt was dosed with a 40 years old mechanical „tipping scale“. Due to the long term mechanical operation the scale failed and needed to be replaced. The brewmaster was now searching for a replacement system with compact dimensions (to fit into the actual space) and best possible accuracy. Solution: The brewmaster came to the decision to use a Hense „Baby FlowSlide“ - system. The „Baby FlowSlide“ is maintenance free, robust and compact. Due to the heigth of only 400 mm it was possible, to fit the system exactly under the existing feeder. A stainless steel inlet hopper compensates the difference in the height between Baby FlowSlide an the old „tipping scale“. The electronic ist equipped…

TELEONIX helps to prevents production shut down The new ”TELEONIX” system of Hense Wägetechnik GmbH allows direct connection to almost any weighing system. In conjunction with the ”intelligent junction box” can be not only the contents of the silo but also the functions of all the weighing components monitored online. Furthermore, the TELEONIX monitors the functioning of all load cells / DMS - sensors and the wiring. Errors due to defective sensors, cable breakage or uneven load deviation can be stored as an error and retrieved or transmitted automatically to PCs or mobile devices. TELEONIX helps to shorten chains of information - the purchasing department has direct insight into relevant Storage / commodity stocks. The raw material requirements can be met reliably and strategically optimal. Historical data can be displayed as graphics or be transferred into appropriate programs (Excel). Furthermore TELEONIX offers the possibility to connect up to six analog input channels (4 - 20mA) and serial…
