Magnetic flowmeters with
several mounting options
With a wide range of flowtube sizes
and an array of available transmitter
configurations, the MagPLUS family
of magnetic flowmeters (photo) offers
precise, bi-directional metering of
many types of fluids, from beverages
and processed foods to potable water,
industrial water and wastewater. The
flowmeters feature fully welded construction,
a selection of global standard
flanges and end connections,
rugged liners suited to all water and
wastewater applications or hygienic
sanitary design, as well as durable
exteriors that are appropriate for underground
installation and constant
flooding. Thanks to a virtual grounding
feature, this flowmeter eliminates
the need for grounding electrodes or
rings, reducing installation complexity
and cost, while increasing longterm
process reliability. A selection of
three housing versions enables users
to mount transmitters directly to the
flowtube at 0- or 45-deg angles, or
remotely in wall- or field-mount configurations.

Small-footprint, fast-response
mass-flow controllers
The Basis line of mass-flow controllers
has been expanded to include the
new 20SLPM model (photo). Specifically
designed for original equipment
manufacture (OEM) and process integration,
this small-footprint instrument
provides fast, accurate control of gas
flowrates in a wide range of applications,
including sparging into liquids
and sample dilution, as well as many
gas-mixing applications. Suitable for
use in OEM gas analyzers, automated
gas mixing on process lines and anywhere
basic mass-flow-only control is
required, a 100-ms control response
enables Basis controllers to react in
realtime to upstream fluctuations.
Basis controllers are available with the
following multi-gas calibrations: air,
argon, CO2, N2, O2 and N2O (selectable
over serial connection). Furthermore,
helium and hydrogen are also
available in single-gas units. - Alicat

A customizable smart display for
all types of process monitoring
Available in three screen sizes, the
OM-SGD Series of panel meters
(photo) offers a wide operating powersupply
voltage range of 4 to 30 V d.c.
and two alarm outputs. Waterproof
NEMA 6 (IP67) versions are also available.
Using the provided configuration
software, users can select from over
40 standard display configurations to
quickly program exact process requirements.
Furthermore, users have
the ability to customize colors, text
labels, input scaling and units before
uploading the selected display configuration
to the meter via a USB interface.
The OM-SGD is suitable for
process monitoring in a wide range
of industrial or laboratory applications
in the chemical, water, petroleum,
HVAC, electronics and semiconductor
industries. - Omega Engineering

Unload 4,000-lb bulk bags with
this heavy-duty discharger
The Model MTD-4K bulk-bag discharger
(photo) is designed for the
reliable unloading of large-capacity
bulk bags. With the use of 4-in. tubular
construction, the machine can
unload bulk bags with capacity up to
4,000 lb. A smaller model, the MTD2.5K
can unload bulk bags up to
2,500 lb. A heavy-duty version, the
Model MTD BBD-4K, features vibratory-motor
agitation to assist in unloading
hard-to-remove products. -

This airlock unit is suited for
sanitary applications
The new Global Cleanable Airlock
(GCA; photo, p. 29) is designed for
applications where dry raw or finished
products are being handled at high
process rates, and where inspection
or system clean-out are required.
Available as either a standard or demountable
unit, the GCA also possesses
a number of features suited
for sanitary processes. The standard
model incorporates seals and product-contact
surfaces that meet food
safety requirements. The demountChemiCal
