internet connection to the cloud via
the second port. Alternatively, if an internet
connection to the cloud is not
required, communication in two Ethernet
networks is possible, for example
as a Profinet device and as Profinet,
Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP master.

Explosion-proof sifters separate
and condition dry materials
Centrifugal sifters from the GS product
line (photo) are suitable for installation
in ATEX Zone 20 internal and
Zone 21 external, providing a high
level of protection in areas where an
explosive atmosphere with a cloud
of combustible dust is likely to occur
or remain present continuously or for
long periods of time during normal
operation. The durable powder sifters
include a heavy-duty motor and
safety switches, an air-set solenoid
valve and air-purge lip seals as standard.
GS sifters pass fine particulate
matter through a mesh screen and
divert oversized particles to the discharge,
while securing the material
within a dust-tight housing. The sifters
can separate granular and powdered
products into two streams by
particle size, removing foreign matter
and can also condition materials prior
to entering production. For cleaning,
the screen and basket may be safely
accessed and quickly removed. The
GS product line comprises four models,
each available with screen mesh
sizes from 100-4,000 μm, throughput
rates of up to 120 ton/h and a choice
of surface finishes to suit the material.

These packaged chillers have
been upgraded
This company recently updated the
Accuchiller NQ series of portable and
packaged chillers (photo) to include a
new control system and cabinetry design.
The chillers now come standard
with an advanced control system with
ModBus RTU and a 7-in. color touchscreen.
This robust control system
provides extensive diagnostic capabilities
with a wide range of communication
options, including Modbus, BACnet
and LonWorks. Screen layouts are
improved to simplify data searching.
Pressure sensors are now also included
as part of the control-system
package. The NQ Series control-panel
cabinetry is also redesigned to include
an ergonomic sloped top for easy
viewing and access. NQ Series chillers
are available in capacities ranging
from 4 to 40 tons in air-cooled, watercooled
and remote-condenser models
for indoor and outdoor applications.

New cartridges and housings
for water filtration
Designed
for
water filtration,
the
Beco Protect CL coreless depth-filter
cartridges enable pre-filtration with
absolute retention rates of 5, 10, 20
or 40 μm. This company also offers
a matching cartridge housing, the
Beco Integra Cart KCL (photo). The
coreless depth-filter cartridges are
wrapped and graded from coarse
to fine, to ensure a high particle-retention
capacity. The filter cartridges
are 40 in. long, without end caps and
outer support cage. They come with
a large diameter that allows them
to achieve high flowrates at low differential
pressure. - Eaton Corp.,
