New, for low capacities. A high protection class and the accurate measurement of small weights is not an easy combination. The sealing against environmental pollution is as a matter of course a source of resistance. New in PENKO’s range of industrial load cells is a model, eliminating this effect; type HPS of Revere Transducers. The specifications are: • Carrying capacities from 6 up to 60 kg • Accuracy class C3 with a 25 % utilisation • Certified in accordance with OIML R60. • Suitable for trade applications. • Protection class IP68. • Stainless steel DIN1.4542. • Single point, for a platform size up to 350 x 350 mm. So in brief this is a load cell that can be used everywhere. Platform weighers, filling machines, check weighers and process control systems can be carried out now, even under not ideal environmental conditions such as in the chemical and food processing industry.

Linemix 3000 cm 410 h In 2018, one of the most modern pumped-storage power plants will be put into operation in the Silvretta region. Two LINEMIX®-plants made by SBM will be able to show once again what they can at this project. Only the most efficient suppliers and partners are employed where latest engineering is called for and strict environmental regulations have to be observed under extreme climatic conditions. A major challenge at the exemplary power plant project Obervermunt II of VIW – Vorarlberger Illwerke AG in Vorarlberg/Austria is the year-round just-in-time production of concrete in the Alps at an altitude of 1,700 m. Ideal Choice Mobile concrete mixing plants type LINEMIX® made by SBM are the ideal choice for these challenging sites. Two plants LINEMIX® 3000 CM 410 H are used in parallel in the Silvretta region to assure trouble-free and continuous production of concrete until October 2017. This is carried out by a twin-shaft mixer with 3.0 m³ each with a quality…

Launch of upgraded VXS Series SMC, the world’s leading provider of pneumatics, is ‘hotting’ up its fluid control valve range with the launch of its upgraded VXS Series. Designed to work with steam and heated water, the zero differential pressure type VXS series has new design features, making it more reliable and hard-wearing. With no fluid pressure required to operate the valve, it has minimal air leakage due to a piston main valve and a rubber seal made from a special type of FKM, improving overall reliability. The VXS’ service life has also been extended thanks to its construction, which means the valve can perform 3 million cycles. And with double guide rings, the VXS delivers both a constant sliding performance and improved scraper function that minimises the amount of foreign particles entering the valve, enhancing the resistance to contamination. Following a review of the VXS’ magnetic coil circuit, this latest edition consumes less power and is environmentally friendly to…

SMC, the world’s leading provider of pneumatics, continues to dazzle. SMC, the world’s leading provider of pneumatics, continues to dazzle with the new size SY7000 of its unique all-purpose solenoid valve. Together with a mixed mounting of SY5000 and SY7000 in the same manifold, providing greater flexibility and economical operation, the new extremely compact size promotes even more air savings as a result of driving higher cylinders with reduced cycle times and without the need to use larger, more expensive, solenoid valves. In addition to a new plug-in sub-plate type that allows using this 5-port solenoid valve independently, the series also features a residual pressure release type that enables the automatic release of residual pressure in a cylinder, avoiding the need to use any external component when the supply pressure is shut off. Available with either rubber or unique metal seal, which is particularly suitable for higher operating frequencies and provides extended lifetime performance, the new SY series incorporates SMC’s…

WAM GmbH presents new cylindrical WAMFLO ”Food” Dust Collector WAM GmbH exhibits for the first time at the Anuga FoodTec fair at the end of March in Cologne. The German trading subsidiary of WAMGROUP - world leader in bulk solids handling and processing equipment - displays a wide range of equipment especially developed for food processing applications. The new round WAMFLO ”Food” collector for venting and dedusting bins or silos will be In the main focus on the WAM stand. WAMFLO ”Food” features a stainless steel body design, in total absence any dead spaces, in a high grade surface finish.

Further options, depending on the operating environment, are various types of filter media, a suction fan or ATEX compliance. Other highlights from the WAMGROUP®…

Pinch valves for universal use in many applications The pinch valves of the QV-series are the ideal solution for the shutting off, distributing, and dosing of powdery and grained bulk goods; viscous, soiled, and aggressive liquids; gases and mixtures. Typical applications are pneumatic conveyors and fillings lines for silos and tanks in the food industry, chemical industry, environmental industry, and construction industry. Due to the straight and not reduced passage through the valve there are no jams and no reduction of the feed pressure. Long service life of hoses and easy change of these if needed are a matter of course. The pinch valves of the QV-series are available with ATEX approvals for use in gas and dust explosive hazardous areas. The different types of the valves enable the optimal adjustment to the specific applications. MOLLET supplies these valves with 10 different nominal sizes from 13 mm to 125 mm. The required pressure air valves, needed for the control of the pinch valve, can be ordered additionally,…

ACHEMA preparations shift into high gear The countdown is on: from 15 to 19 June 2015 the doors will open on ACHEMA 2015. Over 3,100 exhibitors have already registered but, as in 2012, the organisers anticipate around 3,800. Moreover, the congress programme is shortly to be released. Already a clear trend is emerging: besides the three focal themes BiobasedWorld, Innovative Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and Industrial Water Management, the hot topics of the world forum of the process industry are energy efficiency, materials and materials testing, and safety technology. The number of papers submitted for the congress in these areas is gratifyingly high. In terms of exhibition groups, first and foremost there has been the traditionally keen interest in Instrumentation, Control and Automation Techniques, Mechanical Processes, Laboratory and Analytical Techniques, while to meet the unprecedented demand, additional space has already had to be mobilised for Pharmaceutical, Packaging and Storage Techniques. The…
