level monitoring of deployed tanks,
totes and containers, effectively decreasing
the need for manual inspections
at remote tank sites. It also allows
material managers to proactively
know when tanks need to be serviced.
The non-contact TSU1000 ultrasonic
level sensor is fully integrated into the
battery-powered device, which can be
installed in locations where network
power and connectivity infrastructure
are not available. The monitor has a
durable weather-proof enclosure and
long battery life, says the manufacturer.

nitrogen into
the pressure vessel
and pipeline in timed,
regular pulses that
form the dry material
into separate, wavelike,
pulsed slugs. Creating a gentle
conveying action, the Pulse-Flow
PTA operates at high pressures with
low gas velocities to safely convey
sensitive products, using mass flow,
up to 500 ft into a hopper, reactor
vessel, silo, railcar or other receiving
destination with minimal particle
degradation or separation. Suitable
for conveying fragile, free-flowing
and cohesive powders, granulates
and coarse-grained products, the
automated Pulse-Flow PTA conveying
system encompasses the
feeding hopper, pressure vessel,
pipeline, conveying and secondary

This magnetic separator is
automatically cleaned
Introduced at Powtech this month,
the Easy Clean magnetic separator
is used to remove metal particles
(larger than 30 μm) from powders
in the food, chemical, ceramics
and plastics industries. The Easy
Clean flow magnet is notable for
its high magnetic-flux density of
over 12,000 Gauss on the bars that
come into direct contact with the
product. The magnet is dustproof
to an overpressure of 1.5 bars and
includes a simple controller. Cleaning
requires 6 bars air and a 24-V
d.c. start signal. Captured ferrous
materials land in a collection
tray. - Goudsmit Magnetics Group,
