Code Software (UCS), with which
the production of labels with double
serial numbers is practically impossible,
even after planned or hazardous
interruptions in production. At the
same time, an almost infinite number
of code ranges can be administered,
and the reporting and forwarding of
serialization data is an integral part
of the software. Hall 3.1, Stand B11

This welding machine is
cleanroom compatible
The IR-315 A infrared welding machine
(photo) and the associated worktable
are cleanroom compatible. The heating
and joining processes are completely
automated, and the clamping
carriage moves independently. This
minimizes application errors and ensures
the quality of the connection.
Individually adjustable planing dimensions
on both sides enable precise,
millimeter-accurate production and
high flexibility. The active cooling system
uses filtered air, and is integrated
into the clamping element. It reduces
the cooling time by up to 30%, says
the company. The IR-315 A supports
interactive operation through a graphical
user interface. The ergonomically
adjustable 12.1-in. touchscreen offers
multilingual instructions and video-assisted
process control. An integrated
video camera documents preparation
and handling methods. Hall 8.0, Stand

Specialized belts for
dewatering processes
This company's Belt 1003 model of filter
belt is designed for dewatering applications
in process water treatment,
as well as the production of paper and
pectin. The Belt 1003 achieves high
transverse stability and particle retention.
The belts come standard with
an integrated wear indicator to provide
greater assistance in determining
mechanical abrasion. A contrasting
colored core (photo) in the woven
polyester monofilament provides an
early visible indication of the degree of
process-based wear or incorrect belt
adjustment after loading the belt. This
makes it possible to plan belt changes
and promptly implement any necessary
corrections. For applications with
fibrous sludges, which are less capable
of flowing, such as those typically encountered
in the paper industry, model
1003 belts are also now available in a
spiral configuration, which provides
improved stability. Hall 5.0, Stand

This hygienic thermometer is
equipped with self-calibration
The new iTherm TrustSens hygienic
thermometer (photo) is designed for
the life sciences, biotechnology and
food-and-beverage industries. For
users who require full compliance
with FDA and GMP regulations, iTherm
TrustSens offers a high degree
of process reliability and system availability
thanks to permanent inline selfcalibration,
thus eliminating the risk
of
nonconformities
during production
and avoiding production downtime.
The device features a measuring
range of -40 to 160°C (-40 to
320°F). Also, there are more than
50 sterile and hygienic process connections
available, including thread,
clamp, DIN11851 and more. Hall 11.1,

Explosion-proof enclosure
system with a smaller footprint
The EXpressure technology (photo)
can safely dissipate explosion pressure
in control boxes, power distribution
boards and other enclosures via
flow channels in multi-layer stainlesssteel
wire cloths. The controlled gas
flow and heat absorption through
special wire-cloth elements reduce
the internal pressure increase that
occurs after an explosion in the enclosure
by several orders of magnitude
compared to conventional
Ex d enclosures, says the company.
If explosion pressure increases of 7
to 12 bars have to be contained in a
conventional flameproof enclosure,
the maximum inner pressure in an EXpressure
enclosure is less than 1 bar.
While some enclosures may require a
wall thickness of 10-20 mm, EXpressure
enclosures achieve comparable
