New Products
This range of high-performance
water pumps expanded
This company has expanded its RDLO
series from 21 sizes to 33 (photo). The
pump sets are axially split volute casing
pumps primarily used for clean water
transport. A casing with double-volute
compensating radial forces and a double-entry
impeller compensating axial
forces are key to a long service life. As
a result, the generously dimensioned
rolling-element bearings are subjected
to a minimum load only. Thanks to
the expansion of the series, flowrates
of up to 20,000 m³/h at heads of up
to 300 m can now be achieved. Because
RDLO pumps are also capable
of transporting seawater, the materials
used include duplex steels alongside
standard materials, such as gray cast
iron and nodular cast iron. - KSB SE

Explosion-proof conveyors for
combustible dusts
The VS pneumatic vacuum-conveying
system (photo) features an explosionproof
design that will aid in compliance
with the NFPA 660 Standard for Combustible
Dusts and Particulate Solids,
which aims to consolidate NFPA 61,
484, 652, 654, 655 and 664 into a single
standard. Eliminating electrostatic
charges as a potential ignition source,
the vacuum conveyors automatically
transfer ignitable powders in a sealed
system without electricity. The conductive
design safely dissipates any
static charge. Pneumatically driven,
non-rotating parts eliminate heat generation
as a source of ignition and the
enclosed system prevents nuisance
dust from accumulating as a fuel
source. - Volkmann USA, Bristol, Pa.

This temperature transmitter has
Ethernet-APL
The new iTEMP TMT86 two-channel
temperature head transmitter (photo)
has Profinet communication over Ethernet
Advanced Physical Layer (APL).
The two-channel temperature head
transmitter is suitable for use with resistance
thermometers and thermocouples
and provides fast and accurate
measurement of temperature. The
device supports a wide range of thermocouple
elements and resistance
temperature
detectors
(RTDs).
The
iTEMP TMT86 also has a built-in web
server that allows users to operate the
instrument from any computer or mobile
device and supports easy configuration
as well as monitoring of processes
without the need for additional software
or hardware. - Endress+Hauser AG,

Technological leap for the
new-food industry
At the Anuga FoodTec trade show (Cologne,
Germany; March 19-22, 2024),
this company's new-food experts discussed
their perfusion platform - a
key technology for state-of-the-art upstream
bioprocesses that also enables
continuous processing in cell cultivation
and precision fermentation. In this
process, cells from the Axenic bioreactor
are separated from the nutrient
solution containing inhibitors using the
kytero single-use separator (photo) to
improve the density of living cells and
boost productivity. This technology offers
great potential for the reprocessing
of media, which represents a considerable
cost factor in new-food production
and hence in the end products.

A level sensor with
company's
IO Link technology
This
Endress+Hauser
KA1590
capacitive
sensor (from the 26 Series) now
has IO Link Technology. This IO Link
sensor (photo) can detect products
with a low 1.1 dielectric. The sensor
comes with normally open contact
and normally closed contact. ON
and OFF delay timing functions are
programmable for the application
requirements. The sensor operates
on 10-35 V d.c., the housing is IP67
sealed for cleaning in place (CIP) and
installation is quick with tri-clamp
mounting. The sensor's PTFE housing
is FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 compliant
for use in food and pharmaceutical
applications. The sensor has
a temperature rating up to 100°C.
