Spiroflow Systems
New Products
Spira-trol valves also now feature
better capacities and a balanced
trim option for high differential
pressures. The valves are now additionally
available in 6- and 8-in.

These flowmeters are designed
for conductive liquids
The FMG600 Series electromagnetic
flowmeters (photo) are designed for
measurement of conductive liquids.
With no moving parts and a
PTFE lining, the FMG600 meters
can handle applications involving
wastewater, pulp, foodstuffs and
slurries. Standard outputs include
analog, frequency, and RS485 communications.
An optional sanitary
tri-clamp mounting system allows
use of the FMG600 flowmeters in
applications not previously open to
magmeters. Local- and remote-display
models are available. - Omega Engineering

This vibration transmitter
delivers detailed information
The CSI 9420 is a smart, wireless
vibration transmitter that delivers
detailed information for machinery
analysis to vibration experts, such as
direct alerts on high vibration caused
by cavitation or bearing defects, and
high-resolution spectra. The CSI 9420
connects easily to any machine, and its
wireless capabilities make the instrument
ideal for monitoring equipment
in remote or hard-to-reach locations.
The vibration transmitter has shown
effectiveness in several applications,
says the company, including monitoring
petroleum refinery pumps, cooling
towers, compressors, agitators in settling
ponds, and all types of motors,
pumps and fans. - Emerson Process

A new pump family offers
two types of impellers
The SL Submersible Pump range offers
two types of impellers to handle a
wide range of process and wastewater
applications. The SuperVortex ImpelOmega
Engineering
ler provides free passage of solids up
to 4 in. in diameter, making it ideal
for liquids containing solids, fibers or
sludge. The Channel Impeller is designed
particularly for large flows of
raw sewage. In addition to numerous
customizing possibilities, the SL series
features an efficient motor that
is sealed with a moisture-proof plug,
and a short rotor shaft to reduce vibrations.

Clean this bulk bag
discharger easily
The Model T11 Bulk Bag Super Discharger
(photo) is designed for critical
applications where hygiene and rapid
dismantling of components without
tools are essential to avoid microbial
growth and cross-contamination between
batches. The T11 can be custom-made
to meet requirements for
the pharmaceutical, dairy and foodand-beverage
industries. Constructed
entirely from stainless steel with no
dead pockets, the T11 can be pressurewashed,
steam-cleaned or manually
washed or sterilized. The T11 features
a dust cabinet that fully contains the
bag during discharge, and a pharmaceutical-quality,
dust-tight seal be28D-6

Detect high solids level with
customized extended rotaries
This firm has introduced a series
of extended rotaries for top-of-bin
mounting when the rotary is used as a
high-level alarm. These vertically extended
rotaries are desirable, because
solid material will tend to be higher at
the filling point and operators want
to prevent filling the bin to the very
top. The company custom manufactures
extended rotaries to the length
requested (up to 144 in.). The BMRX
and Maxima+ fail-safe rotaries feature
a durable motor with a de-energized
operation that shuts down the motor
when material is present to reduce
wear and the operating temperature,
thereby prolonging the motor life. -
