Use these electromagnetic
flowmeters for batching
New MIM electromagnetic flowmeters
(photo) provide accurate readings
in a space-saving design. With
extensive options for onsite programming,
they are suitable for a
wide variety of applications, particularly
in batching operations, such
as matching media during coating
of tablets or during coolant supply.
Their electromagnetic nature means
there are no moving parts, making
these devices effective in measuring
the flow of conductive media, such
as water, pulps, pastes or emulsions.
Configurable optical buttons can be
used to display parameters, including
flowrates or temperatures. A changing
color system in the display also
provides warnings for limit violations.
Since the MIM is produced in a remote
version, the flowmeter can also
be used with media temperatures
from -40 up to 284°F. In addition to
the temperature measurement function,
the MIM can be used for very
small nominal pipe sizes and covers
an even larger measuring range,
depending on the nominal pipe
size. - Kobold Instruments, Inc.,

New protective clothing
handles high-pressure water
The company is augmenting its Livmoa
range of single-use protective
clothing to include to new Livmoa
4000 products (photo) for highpressure
water applications, such
as those in waste-disposal sites or
any type of heavy-duty cleaning task.
Furthermore, in subsequent months,
new Livmoa CL sterilized clothing for
cleanrooms will also be available to
the market. Livmoa 4000 is breathable,
and employs a proprietary SMS
(spunbond-meltblown-spunbond)
nonwoven fabric. The clothing thus
protects wearers from dust and can
also withstand a water pressure of
1,000 mmH2O column. The meltblown
layer keeps dust and water out
while also delivering air permeability.
Livmoa 4000 complies with the JIS
Type 5 and 6 standards for chemical
protective clothing. - Toray Industries,

This platform for shift handover
now includes health data
This company's Shiftconnector digital
manufacturing software (photo) for the
processing industries can now be integrated
with the Cleared4 employeehealth
monitoring platform. This partnership
aims to promote healthy, safe
and reliable production at manufacturing
plants. This combined software
platform is said to be the first shift-toshift
handover software in the industry
to directly address the multitude
of health and safety issues brought
on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The
solution simultaneously solves digital
communications and collaboration
challenges during shift-to-shift handovers,
including reporting and contract
tracing, management of process upsets
and compliance-related routine
activities. The integration of Cleared4
with Shiftconnector provides a healthmanagement
dashboard, including
text messaging, health-centric technologies
and on-site kiosks to obtain
valuable health clearance and optimize
safety as employees enter a facility to
start their shift. Additionally, the platform
gives access to COVID-19 test
results for staff and integrates Influenza
and COVID-19 vaccination status.

This corrosion inhibitor tackles
high-moisture conditions
VpCI-396 is a very hard but flexible
corrosion-inhibiting coating
that cures in high-humidity conditions.
VpCI-396 is a solvent-based
moisture-cure urethane that can
be used as a direct-to-metal (DTM)
primer, and in some cases a topcoat.
It provides protection in harsh, outdoor,
unsheltered applications and
cures best when applied under relative
humidity of 20-80% with temperatures
ranging from 32-120°F
(0-50°C). This makes it a good option
for structural steel and tanks in a
chemical- or water-vapor-rich industrial
environment. VpCI-396 can be
used over this company's CorrVerter
Rust Converter Primer on previously
rusted surfaces. - Cortec Corp.,
