New Products
giene, and the seal conforms with
both the European EC 1935/2004
and U.S. Food and Drug Admin.
(FDA) standards. A special feature is
that the blue ring can be detected by,
for example, the company's two-way
valve with a metal detector. This feature
prevents parts of the ring from
getting into the production process
due, for instance, to faulty installation.
The detectable blue U-shaped
seal is a patented innovation that is
exclusively offered by this company.

This viscometer has
several new features
The new DV1 Viscometer is this
company's lowest-cost, continuoussensing
digital viscometer in its
family of instruments. The head of
the DV1 Viscometer features a new
shape and a larger easy-to-read
display. Multiple language choices
are now included and the user interface
has three hot keys for quick
access to spindle selection, test
speed and other functions. Optional
Wingather SQ Software allows the
user to collect, analyze and record
test data. Multiple tests can be
compared graphically and the user
can export data files to Excel. The
new DV1 Viscometer includes a
USB output connection for a Dymo
Printer. - Brookfield Engineering,

These actuators now
support HART communication
A HART (Highway Addressable Remote
Transducer) interface option is
now available for this company's AC
.2 and ACExC .2 controls. The adoption
of the HART protocol is said to
strengthen the company's position as
a provider of a comprehensive range
of leading-edge actuation solutions,
with supporting technologies. In
compliance with the IEC 61158 standard,
the HART communication protocol
retains the simple and classic
4-20-mA standard signal for analog
data transmission, while allowing for
digital communication modulated as
an additional signal to the analog signal.
Electronic Device Descriptions
(EDD) for AC. 2 controls with HART
interface will be available shortly. -

A laboratory vacuum-processing
unit for small batches
The Frymix II Lab vacuum-processing
unit is suitable for developing
new formulations and producing
very small batch sizes. The laboratory
version has a usable volume of
4-12 L. The machine complies with
all cGMP (current good manufacturing
practices) and GAMP (good
automated manufacturing practice)
specifications for sterile suspensions
and emulsions. The products are processed
according to the rotor-rotor
principle by a powerful homogenizer
that was developed for temperatureand
shear-sensitive formulations.
The incremental adjustment of the
conical milling gap and the infinitely
variable adjustment of the
rotor speed enable this input to be
precisely defined. - FrymaKoruma,

A new vortex flowmeter for
advanced energy measurement
Optiswirl 4200 is a new vortex flowmeter
for the measurement of conducting
and non-conducting liquids,
gases and steam. The new device is
targeted at auxiliary and supply applications
in various industries, such
as internal monitoring of energy
flows for saturated and superheated
steam or hot water, and heat metering
applications. Areas of usage also
include steam-boiler monitoring,
burner-consumption measurement
or compressed-air-network monitoring.
In addition to gross heat
calculation for steam, the Optiswirl
4200 now includes net heat calculation
for steam and condensate (hot
water) as well. - Krohne Messtechnik
