High-end Android smartphone
for hazardous areas
Impact X (photo) is the first intrinsically
safe smartphone with the
same usability, performance and
functionality as high-end consumer
devices. The product is ready to use
right out of the box, just like a regular
smartphone. In addition to being
Zone 1 and 2 ATEX and IECEx certified,
Impact X is waterproof and
extremely rugged. It has a sunlightreadable
display with a touch sensor
designed for heavy rain and
for operation with gloves. The device
has three high-end cameras, a
fast processor and double the battery
capacity of a typical consumer
smartphone. - Bartec Pixavi AS,

Intelligent structuring and
segmentation of piping
This company has developed a new
function for its process engineeringoriented
software system Engineering
Base (EB) Instrumentation,
which now makes the piping that is
defined in P&ID (piping and instrumentation
diagram) a lot " smarter. "
The new version EB 6.5.0 (photo) allows
information on the flow direction,
media, temperatures and pressures
to be added to the P&ID. The
automated target tracking shows
both the beginning and the end of
the piping, as well as the topology
of all sub-segments with all connected
components, such as valves,
pumps, flaps or flanges. - Aucotec

Slash costs with this
low-profile belt press
This new belt press (photo) for dewatering
in municipal and industrial
applications is based on a new lowprofile
design and flexible modular
construction. The size and weight
of the press is about half that of
the previous machine generation,
which means lower investment

costs for the same performance. Another
advantage is easier access to
the machine. With an overall height
of only 150 cm, the gravity zone is
at the ideal working height, resulting
in reduced time and costs for operating
and maintenance work, as
well as increasing the availability of
the machine. - The Andritz Group,

NanoSampler enables highthroughput
sample delivery
The new Zetasizer NanoSampler
(photo) is a versatile, compact, fully
automated sample delivery system
for this company's Zetasizer Nano,
which is used for nanoparticle and
colloid characterization. Delivering
precise and reproducible automated
sample loading, and accommodating
up to 96 sample vials, the
NanoSampler enables unattended
operation of the Zetasizer Nano, to
maximize analytical productivity.
The new NanoSampler will work
with all of the sizing systems in the
Zetasizer Nano instrument range,
which includes systems that measure
particle and molecular size
using dynamic light scattering, covering
a size range from less than
one nanometer up to several microns.

Measure interfaces with this
electromechanical system
The Nivobob NB3300 (rope version)
and NB3400 (tape version)
level-measuring devices (photo)
are specially modified for interface
measurement. They are designed
for continuous measurement of
salt or mud levels of contaminated
water in tanks or silos. All installed
parts have been additionally coated
and prepared with robust corrosionNote:
