A new line of electrically driven
solids-handling pumps
These-auto prime pumps (photo)
have a capacity of 100 to a maximum
of 6,500 m3/h. The BA dieseldriven
pumps have been actively
used on the market for many years.
Now, with the development of a
new standard norm block construction
(NMC) the company offers a
modular and compact electrically
driven pump design. Using highefficiency
pumps and IE2 electric
motors, the pumps offer maximum
performance at minimal cost. In
addition to a standard control box
and soft starter, the pump sets can
also be provided with a frequency
converter; which ensures maximum
control over the pumping process,
not just by using the automatic
start/stop but also by increasing
or decreasing the speed of the electric
motor. These pumps can be
deployed in sewage or dewatering
applications. - BBA Pumps B.V.,

Level detectors approved for
SIL2 and SIL3 applications
The radiometric gauge SENSseries
LB 480 (photo) has been awarded
SIL2/SIL3 certification, making
this company the first supplier
providing SIL-certified radiometric
systems for both level (point level
or continuous level) and density
measurements. The high level of
availability and operational safety

of the SENSseries LB 480 detectors
was intensively tested and
approved by TÜV Süd according
to IEC 61508:2010. In redundancy
installations (one out of two; 1oo2)
SIL3 can also be achieved. Unlike
other instrumentation available on
the market that require frequent
recalibration, this company's patented
stabilization methods correct
for temperature and aging effects.

Intelligent and robust fuel
flowmeters and readout units
Fuel-View (photo) is a compact,
lightweight and cost-effective solution
for measuring the fuel consumption
and operating time of vehicles,
tractors, river vessels or any
mobile or fixed installations with
diesel engines. The device can be

used for protecting and preventing
theft of fuel, preventing overstatement
of readings and intervention
and the patented method of measuring
different engine operating
times. New are models for measuring
diesel, gasoline, fuel oil, biofuel
or other viscous liquids up to 500
L/h. Special differential meters are
now available with two integrated
measuring chambers, one for measuring
the supply line and one for
measuring the return line to calculate
fuel consumption in realtime.

A new generation of
dry running agitator seals
This company has launched a new
generation of dry-running shaft
seals for agitators. In addition to
the known benefits of this type of
mechanical seal, the new SeccoMix1
(photo) is also silent running and
has been prototype-tested for use
in ATEX category 1 (zone 0). These
shaft seals are used in mixers, agitators,
dryers and filter strainers.
Dry-running SeccoMix seals need
no supply system, so they have a
significant advantage over liquid
or gas-lubricated seals. Given this
