Hose assemblies to meet a wide
variety of application needs
The new ElaSil silicone hose range
(photo),
which
complements
the
company's ElaPharm pharmaceutical
hoses, conform to FDA and USP
Class VI and meet the 3-A Sanitary
Standard. The hose sizes range
from DN 13 to 102 mm, and are assembled
to user specifications, with
crimped couplings. Also on display is
the EasyLoc version of the company's
Camlock product range. EasyLoc
features an automatic lever lock to
avoid unwanted disconnection during
operation, for example due to excessive
pulsation. The couplings are
available in sizes DN 13-50 mm. Hall

Fast measurement of
degassed acid conductivity
The Digox 602 dac (photo) is an optimized
measuring device for monitoring
the degassed acid conductivity in
the water-steam cycle. The unit performs
a fast, dependable measurement
of the acid conductivity without
the influence of CO2. In the standard
version, the measurements of the
specific conductivity, the acid conductivity
and the pH-value calculation
are available. The degassing takes
place without increasing the media
temperature. Due to the short downtime
(less than 90 s) of the degassing,
the device can considerably shorten
the startup time for steam turbines.
The efficiency of the degassing is over
90% - optionally, the value can be
calculated to 100%, says the manufacturer.
The device is also available
as an upgraded version for existing
measurements of the acid conductivity
and additionally as a portable,
battery-operated version. Hall 11.1,

Pumps and pump-monitoring
technology to be displayed
The Ensival Moret CAHR pump range
for heavy-duty axial flow is suitable for
applications involving highly corrosive
liquids and slurries. Another product
on display will be the OCV range, the
latest evolution of the proven API 61072
type
VS4 pumps that offer reliable
performance in demanding applications.
In addition to this, the company
will have the OHV pump and the Type
OH3 overhung, horizontal, centerlinemounted,
single stage pump that is
API 610 certified. For monitoring the
overall performance of pumps, as
well as data from specific assets, the
company's Blue Box is a flexible and
secure software solution that uses
existing operational data combined
with pump design information to analyze
pump operation and optimize it
in terms of performance, efficiency
and reliability. Hall 8.0, Stand A71 -

Inspect and count tablets
and pills at high speeds
Vicob (photo) is a vision-inspection
counting machine that can check
each individual piece of product with
100% vision inspection with singletablet
reject prior to filling. With the
company's patented hybrid technology
that combines the functions of
tablet counting and vision inspection,
Vicob brings together ultra-high-resolution
cameras, tilted, revolving disctablet
feeding and cylinder-free airflow
control for tablet spacing. Additionlly,
the company's VC-100 model is capable
of processing high-speed product
inspection data while maintaining
the two-times faster output. Vibratory
feeders are replaced by a tilted revolving
disc that guides the products
to a circumferential edge and directly
to the vision counting zone and shutter
cylinders are replaced by the flowcontrol
technique that enables singletablet
reject instead of removing the
entire container from the conveyor.
This concept is different from the existing
design, which requires vibrator
feeding and shutter cylinder spacing.
