Valve positioners with an
industrial Ethernet interface
This company has introduced new
positioners and controllers of the Type
8692/8693 + 8792/8793 product line
(photo). The new positioners and controllers
support EtherNet/IP, Profinet
and Modbus communication protocols.
The protocols enable extensive diagnostics
functions, including monitoring,
limit value definition of operating parameters
and messages in accordance
with Namur NE107. The integrated
two-port switch allows for star, line and
ring topologies and, facilitates failsafe
communication right up to the valve. All
integrated devices can be parameterized
and configured using Communicator,
the standard software tool. The new
positioners have been optimized for
combination with this company's process-control
systems and also enable
an array of combinations with all control
valve types, including those from thirdparty
manufacturers. Hall 11.1, Stand

New capacity added to this
series of diaphragm pumps
The new LDZ drive unit (photo) is now
available for this company's Ecoflow series
of diaphragm metering pumps. The
LDZ unit is designed for a hydraulic output
of 15 kW and is intended to close
the gap between the LDG (6 kW) and
the LDH (20 kW) models. The LDZ can
be used as a single or multiplex drive
unit, and thanks to its modularized system,
can be tailored to users' needs. For
instance, wetted materials and process
valves can be adapted specifically to
the pumped fluid as needed. Furthermore,
implementing a heating or cooling
jacket or a remote head solution
is possible at
extreme temperatures.

Among the five pump-head types, there
are also adaptations available for use in
the food and pharmaceutical industries.

A new degassing reaction
module for extruders
The ERMO degassing reaction module
(photo) is now available for this company's
modular planetary roller extruders.
The ERMO can be installed at any point
of the process section as a replacement
for a standard roller cylinder. The standard
planetary spindles are replaced by
the larger ERMO planetary spindles and
the intermediate rings connected upstream
and downstream are replaced
by appropriately adapted intermediate
rings. The larger diameters of the
toothed liner and planetary spindles provide
a significantly larger process volume
compared to the standard roller cylinder
of the same size. The original central
spindle can remain and no further
modifications of the existing extruder are
necessary. Depending on the process
requirements, several ERMOs can be
installed in line or at individual positions
of an extruder processing section. There
are various supplementary options, such
as side-feeders or additional injection
and degassing openings. Hall 4.0, Stand

Intelligent, expandable system
for pump condition monitoring
The IN-1000 intelligent condition-monitoring
system (photo) is now available
with the necessary certifications for
operation in ATEX Zone 2, Class 1,
Div. 2. The system is designed specifically
for use with this company's
pumps that are used in operationally
critical and environmentally sensitive
applications. The IN-1000 can be
used for a wide range of conditionmonitoring
applications, from simple,
single-pump installations to complex,
multi-pump systems, says the company.
As a result, maintenance and
repairs can be planned in advance,
there is no unplanned production
downtime and maintenance intervals
can be extended. The system can
monitor temperature, leaks and vibrations,
and may also be expanded with
standard industrial sensors to monitor
other parameters, such as pressure.
It can be added to new pumps
or retrofitted to existing pumps. Hall
