detection tasks simultaneously. The
sensor's straight-line flow path also
produces product transfer with less
shear stress to better protect sensitive
fluids from damage. The SumoFlo
CPFM-8103 is said to be the world's
only gamma-sterilizable Coriolis mass
flowmeter, and has a reading accuracy
of ±1% in flowrates from 0.05
to 100 kg/min. - PSG Biotech, Oakbrook

New peeler centrifuge with
patented features
Heinkel Process Technology
Pfeiffer Vacuum
The Bluetector is this company's new
generation of horizontal peeler centrifuges.
Features of the new brand
include an optimized and patented
housing shape (photo), which permits
the efficient drainage of filtrate
through the rear wall without any
additional guidance for the liquid.
A slidable machine cover reduces
noise emissions and contamination
of the technical area, providing quick
and easy access. The Bluetector is
equipped with only electric drives -
also in hazardous areas up to ATEX
zone 1 - ensuring excellent cleanliness
without hydraulic oil and belt
abrasion. The intelligent drive concept
minimizes friction losses and
enables the use of an optimized electric
motor, without a belt drive. This
means shorter batch times, lower
energy consumption and lower operating
costs, says the company.
The new peeler allows low-shear and
gentle product discharge and protects
the discharge chute from contamination.

A new vacuum gage ensures
process control and reliability
Many vacuum applications operate
only within a specific pressure range.
In order to operate such vacuum
systems efficiently, the total pressure
must be measured reliably. The analog
vacuum gages in the ActiveLine have
been upgraded to the latest stateof-the-art
with a successor model
to the Pirani/Bayard-Alpert PBR
260, the PRB 360. This new Pirani/
Bayard-Alpert gage covers the pressure
range from 5 × 10-10 to 1,000
hPa. Due to its compact design, the
gage provides a space-saving way to
incorporate it into vacuum process
systems, analytical instruments, leakdetection
systems and other applications.
Two filaments offer enhanced
operating reliability, process control
and longevity. - Pfeiffer Vacuum

Manage chemicals with this new
radar level sensor
The Dulcolevel (photo) is a new radar
level sensor that provides continuous
information on tank liquid levels. This
ensures tanks can be refilled on time
without any process interruption and
makes chemical inventory management
remarkably straightforward.
In
parallel to this, a specific Inventory
Management module has been added
to the Dulconnex cloud platform.
Thanks to both innovations, operators
can now obtain a complete digital fluidmanagement
system from a single
source. The measuring range covers
volumes of 30 to 1,500 L for any tank
of up to 15 m in height, with an accuracy
of ±5 mm. - ProMinent GmbH,

A graphite rupture disc for
high temperatures
The GRX graphite rupture disc
(photo) has been developed for processes
with corrosive media, low and
medium pressure and temperatures
between -180 and 500°C (1,500°C
in the absence of O2). Thanks to the
specially developed Pyro-Carbon
(PyC) coating, the GRX rupture disc
resists significantly higher temperatures,
while remaining permanently
leak-tight. With an operating pressure
ratio of up to 80% and burst
tolerances of ±10%, the GRX is usable
for rupture pressures from 0.05
bar. Optionally, a vacuum or backpressure
support can be integrated,
which is installed without adhesive
(which melts at very high temperatures).
The GRX is also available with
a burst indicator, upon request. The
installation occurs directly between
the flanges or other clamp systems.
