Schenck Process
Coatings to protect against
vibration, shock and more
This company has significantly expanded
the offerings in its Flooring
line of concrete coatings (photo). The
expanded range comprises integrated
systems of primers, bases and topcoats
for environments that require
electrostatic protection, for equipment
mechanical rooms and for applications
where a combination of high
performance and ultra-fast return to
service is essential. Durable and easy
to clean, the Flooring systems are also
optimized for especially challenging
applications. For example, in environments
where electrostatic discharge is
a hazard, such as electronics manufacturing
facilities, a three-coat electrostatic-protection
system (comprising
an epoxy primer, an electrostatic dissipative
grounding plane and a choice
of topcoats) provides additional chemical
and wear protection. The Flooring
product range also includes the
Mechanical Equipment Room (MER)
system, which comprises an epoxy
primer, waterproofing membrane and
two-component topcoat to provide
the combined resistance to moisture,
temperature, chemicals and vibration
that these environments require. -

a wide range of bulk solids
The MechaTron dry material feeder
(photo) has all the unique design features
that manufacturers require for
their processing applications. Complete
disassembly from the nonprocess
side of the feeder eliminates
the need to remove upper extension
hoppers, bins, bulk bags and
intermediate bulk containers (IBCs)
to clean or maintain the feeder. Flexible
or all stainless-steel hoppers
are available to accommodate any
unique dry-material feeding application.
MechaTron feeders handle a
wide range of volumetric or gravimetric
feeding applications for bulk solid
materials, such as TiO2, wood flour
and carbon black. The MechaTron
can achieve feedrates from 0.002 to
1,100 ft3/h. - Schenck Process LLC,

Minimize the carbon footprint
of pipeline operations
The Zero Emission Electro-Hydraulic
actuator (photo) provides a comprehensive
solution to lower emissions
without requiring pipeline gas as the
actuator's primary power supply.
Pipeline
actuators have previously
relied on using the gas from the pipeline
as a power source, which is then
emitted into the atmosphere. With the
self-contained Zero Emission ElectroHydraulic
solution, the power source
is attached to the actuator in a compact
platform. Available in spring-return
or double-acting configurations,
the Zero Emission Electro-Hydraulic
package can be mounted directly to
the valve via flange or custom connection.
The pump, motor, reservoir
limit switches, solenoids and positioners
are mounted to the actuator.
In remote locations where power is
not available, solar power systems
can be applied to run the systems.
A skid-mounted hydraulic-power unit
for larger operations is also available,
enabling power for multiple actuators
simultaneously. - Automation Technology,

A digital ecosystem for enhanced
actuator performance
The Coralink digital ecosystem
(photo) provides closely networked
support for this company's actuators,
helping plant operators across
all phases of the plant's lifecycle,
from commissioning and predictive
maintenance to active lifecycle management.
At the heart of Coralink is
the ability to evaluate the extensive
operating data that actuators record
automatically in their role as intelligent
field devices. The data can easily be
read from each actuator, including via
a smartphone, and then analyzed.
Thanks to its scalability, Coralink
saves time and money, even when
operators simply use it to check the
condition of individual actuators. In
advanced applications, Coralink can
be used for comprehensive monitoring
of all the actuators on a plant, as
well as to implement IIoT solutions.
