New pumps with a patented
cyclone seal chamber
This company has expanded its ISO
Series of process pumps with the
addition of the ICO Open-Impeller
i-Frame pump (photo). This new pump
is ideal for handling gases and air, and
is fully compliant with both ISO2858
and ISO5199 standards. Available
in 34 sizes, the ICO pump includes
a patented cyclone seal chamber,
i-Frame power-end for improved service
life and the i-Alert 2 equipmenthealth
monitoring sensor as standard.
New ICO pumps can handle flowrates
as high as 450 m3/h and heads up
to 160 m. The operating temperature
range is -40 to 280°C. Available
materials of construction include carbon
steel, 316 stainless steel, Duplex
stainless steel, Alloy 20, Hastelloy,
nickel and titanium. - ITT Goulds

Measure roughness directly
in the production process
Whether a surface must be very
smooth or show a certain texture
or degree of roughness, the new
Surface Roughness Analyzer (SRA;
photo) precisely pictures the topographic
condition of a surface and
provides information for optimizing
the material or production process.
Contactless, quickly, and with an
extremely high resolution, the SRA
delivers a 3-D image of a sample's
surface and the correlating data to
exactly describe its topography. Analyses
with the SRA also help to evaluate
the contribution of roughness to
the wettability of a sample or to the
adhesion of coatings. The SRA uses
the confocal microscopy technique
to create the spatial representation of
the surface. This happens by stacking
layers of 2-D images, each one
with a very small depth of focus, while
lowering the optics with extremely
tiny increments, leading to a height
resolution down to 10 nm. - Krüss

Universal control extends
security to individual devices
The Xage Enforcement Point (XEP)
platform extends network security
to individual devices to deliver universal
access control for industrial
operations. XEP enables, for the
first time, role-based access control
and single sign-on for every device,
ranging from legacy control systems
to brand-new industrial internet of
things (IIoT) machines -- even those
previously lacking any access-control
protection. The XEP platform
works with this company's tamperproof
security fabric, which is deployed
at onsite gateways to protect
multiple legacy and IIoT devices at
once, providing access control,
password rotation and managed interactions.
Edge-to-cloud monitoring
gives administrators visibility into
and control of all access attempts,
whether successful or not. Any attempts
to unplug or bypass the XEP
generate management alerts in the
fabric. XEP ensures that individual
industrial devices, if ever compromised,
are isolated individually, rather
than in a group of other critical, uncompromised
assets. - Xage Inc.,

This vacuum-tray dryer features
a unique CIP system
The Model E1S fixed-shelf vacuumtray
dryer (photo) has a chamber volume
of 1,150 L (40 ft3) and includes
nine heated and cooled shelves
with 36 removable trays. Available
materials
of
construction
include
stainless steel types 304, 304L,
316 and 316L, as well as Hastelloy
and other alloys. In addition to the
heated shelves, the E1S is jacketed
on all sides, top and bottom, as well
as the door. Many optional features
are available, including the patented
" Multispray " clean-in-place (CIP)
system and nitrogen-sparging manifold.
The Model E1S can be supplied
with this company's Saurus pistontype
vacuum pump, which can produce
an ultimate vacuum level of
0.03 mbar, or the dryer can be used
with other conventional vacuumpump
technologies. - Italvacuum
