New Products
This bulk-bag filler has a built-in
densification system
This company's four-post bulk-bag
filler system (photo) features heavyduty
tubular carbon-steel frame construction
for strength and durability. It
is adjustable for future bag size flexibility.
A food-grade inflatable spout
seal assures a dust-tight seal to the
bag inlet. The unit is equipped with
a heavy-duty flat-top densification
system with twin electric vibrators
and a pallet-retaining system. The
adjustable, high-output densification
system quickly settles products,
maximizing fill volume and enhancing
bag stability. A gain-in-weight
carbon-steel scale system with a
2,500-lb capacity, along with the
densification system, are programed
and monitored using a remote NEMA
4 control panel with a PLC, HMI
and emergency stop pushbutton.

Rugged industrial lighting with
efficiency benefits
The new Strongex range of industrial
luminaires (photo) is designed specifically
for installation in the oil, gas and
petrochemical industries. Available for
EX Zone 1 or EX Zone 2 applications,
the Strongex 1 and Strongex 2 luminaires
are said to reduce energy consumption,
extend lifecycle and lower
maintenance costs. Luminaire housings
are made of polymethyl methacrylate
(PMMA) and are 100% recyclable.
Modules are available with smart
sensors to further increase efficiencies.
Strongex devices have IP66/
IP69K and IK10 ratings and are resistant
to both impacts and chemicals,
protecting them in harsh installation
environments. They also have a special
seal that makes them completely
gas-tight, protecting units from any
atmospheric gases that could damage
the electronics. - Zalux, S.A.,

Blowers and compressors
installed in ISO containers
Whether 20 or 40 ft, ISO containers
have the advantage of being standardized,
easy to stack, statically selfsufficient
and are available with effective
sound insulation. This company
now combines these features with
its blower and compressor technology
(photo). The high power density
of, for example, 24,000 m³/h compressed
air per container with three
Turbo AT 200-0.8 systems ensures
versatile application possibilities per
container unit in connection with a
high control range. This aspect also
facilitates placing the process air generation
as close as possible to the
demand. This shortens the distances,
which subsequently leads to energy
savings due to decreasing pressure
losses. The container solutions are
suitable for all standard blower and
compressor types from this company.

A reliable testing gage for
pressure-safety valves
New XP2i digital pressure gages
(photo) are designed specifically for
testing and calibrating pressure-relief
or pressure-safety valves. Once
the valve opens, the XP2i detects
the pressure drop and displays the
maximum pressure that the gage
ever reached before the drop. This
value remains on the display until the
technician clears it. The XP2i features
three accuracy levels: 0.1% of reading;
0.05% of full scale; or 0.02% of
full scale. The gages are available in
ranges from vacuum to 15,000 psi
and are fully temperature compensated
from -10 to 50ºC. All versions
are ATEX, IECEx and CSA intrinsically
safe. An optional datalogging upgrade
allows the XP2i to collect and store
up to 32,000 data points and easily
download the results to a spreadsheet
or protected PDF file. - Crystal

PLC-equipped pumping system
enables enhanced control
DMK SmartPump systems consist
of a pump with a programmable
logic controller (PLC), which controls
the system's highly advanced servo
motor. Motor speed, power consumption
