conduit, trenching or permits. The secure
system deploys quickly and can
be used indoors or outdoors in a variety
of industries. The system can be
expanded as the needs of the user's
application expand. Three module
types - two analog and one digital -
allow users to customize their setup.
The Multi-Point Wireless I/O system
can be used in three different methods:
I/O to I/O; I/O to Modbus serial;
and Modbus serial to Modbus serial.
The digital module also serves as a
counter. - ProSoft Technology, Inc.,

A single-use, stirred-tank
bioreactor for scalable cell culture
The Allegro STR 1000 single-use,
1,000-L stirred-tank reactor (photo)
provides scalable cell culture in a
simple-to-install package. Installation
is largely automated and requires minimal
operator interaction, reducing the
potential for error or damage. The cubical
design and large bottom-driven
impeller result in high oxygen-transfer
rates and short mixing times. In addition,
both disposable and reusable
sensors can be integrated with the
Allegro STR 1000 bioreactor for increased
flexibility. - Pall Life Sciences,

Expanded throughput is
available with these shredders
The new generation of the XRipper
twin-shaft shredder is designed to
reduce the size of coarse matter that
can clog pumps, pipes and fittings.
In addition to shredding more evenly,
new housing geometry allows for significantly
higher throughput, which
can be further increased with an optional
add-on feature, says the company.
Designed specifically for pipelines,
the XRipper model XRP (photo)
has the optimal type of construction
for inline installation in sewage pipelines
and other confined spaces, such
as ducts. The easily accessible ripper
rotors and cartridge seals allow quick
parts replacement. A version designed
especially for channel installations,
the XRC, is also available. - Hugo

New PE resins allow for
faster film-production rates
Developed through advanced catalyst
technology and process research,
Exceed XP performance
polymers are specifically designed
to run at faster film-production rates
in a variety of film applications. The
polyethylene (PE) resins offer a high
level of protection and preservation
for a broad range of flexible packaging
products, and are especially wellsuited
for challenging applications,
such as liquid and food packaging,
construction liners and agricultural
films (photo), says the manufacturer.
In the food-packaging sector, Exceed
XP can be used in highly demanding
environments with low temperatures
or high volumes. - ExxonMobil

An aluminum version of this
AODD pump is now available
The HS430S Advanced FIT 1.5-in.
high-pressure AODD pump is now
available in an aluminum version
(photo) that is well-suited for applications
that require high head pressures,
such as viscous and solidladen
slurries. The aluminum pump
comes equipped with the FIT wetted
path, which minimizes the number of
fasteners and allows for single-socket
reassembly for simpler maintenance.
The pump's Simplex design allows
for one liquid chamber to pump fluid
while the other is used as a pressure-amplification
chamber. With a
two-to-one pressure ratio, the pump
generates 250 psig and does not require
external boosters or amplifiers
to achieve this discharge pressure.

All-new industrial thin client
for virtualized HMI systems
The BTC01 is a new standalone industrial-box
thin client that is ideal for
modular virtualized human-machineinterface
(HMI) systems. It comes
preloaded with this company's new
proprietary operating system, RM
Shell 4.0. The BTC01 features enhanced
security, a new user interface
that simplifies integration and autoconnect
and connection-loss feaChemiCal
