ADVERTORIAL TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
Submersible Hydrostatic Transducers for Depth and Level Measurement

Expanded Apex Pump Range

redel Hose Pumps (part of Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group) has added two new models to
its APEX range of seal-less, valve-less hose pumps. Widening the APEX performance envelope to 6,200 litres/hour at pressures of up to 8 bar, the new APEX28 and APEX35 pumps offer significant capex and opex savings compared to other pump technologies in chemically aggressive or abrasive applications. Recent international product trials across a range of applications have put the new APEX models to the test in process-critical abrasive slurry transfer operations. User feedback has demonstrated that, when compared with existing pump technologies, the new APEX models can extend the time between scheduled maintenance intervals dramatically. With no internal valves, Bredel APEX hose pump technology also helps users improve their processes by eliminating troublesome ancillary equipment such as anti-siphon valves, back-pressure valves, degassing valves or run-dry protection.

ynergy3 Components’ new ranges of submersible hydrostatic transducers for depth and level measurement applications
are now available from RS Components. The complete line-up comprises of three ranges; the ILS series, the ILLS series and the ILTS series. The ILS series is a range of seven submersible level transmitters with depth ranges from 0-1mWG up to 0-100mWG. Fully 316L stainless steel, with 4-20mA outputs, these are supplied complete with submersible cables of a length to suit each depth range and are suitable for many applications, including river and reservoir depth measurement. The ILLS series of ten transducers (five each with 4-20mA and 0.5-4.5V output versions) have a variety of standard depth ranges from 0-1mWG up to 0-10mWG. As such, these transducers are suitable for smaller tanks and vessels holding liquids such as water, oils or fuels.

IP65 & IP67 Data Loggers for Temperature, Voltage & Strain
K
RYPTON data loggers from DEWESoft provide the ultimate environmental specification for harsh operating conditions.
KRYPTON loggers operate from minus 40°C up to +85°C with a shock & vibration specification exceeding 100g. KRYPTON loggers are connected via EtherCAT over distances up to 100m and can be Daisychained with full synchronization. With this high level of environmental specification KRYPTON loggers can be situated very close to the measurement sensor, which increases accuracy, avoids connection errors and reduces cabling costs. For thermocouple measurements KRYPTON is available with 8 or 16 channel inputs sampling at 100Hz with 24bit resolution and for

Europes Largest Motors and Drives Package Power Tata Steel Reversing Rougher’
A
BB, the leading power and automation technology group, announced that it has successfully commissioned two of Europe’s largest synchronous motors, along with the highest power-rated medium voltage (MV) drives ever used in a reversing roughing mill at Tata Steel’s Port Talbot hot strip mill in South Wales. The replacement motors and drives were the focus of a major £25 million reversing roughing upgrade – a key part of the rolling process which transforms a 23 cm thick slab of red-hot steel into sheet, less than 3.5 cm thick, before further reducing it to produce hot rolled strip. The upgrade aims to increase steel production significantly while improving final product quality.

Importance of Oxygen Gas Analysis in Oven Applications O
vens are widely utilised throughout many manufacturing processes within a number of industries including;
engineering, research, metals,
aerospace and defence. They are commonly used to either dry components or to cause a chemical reaction between materials, in a process known as curing. Additionally ovens are also employed for combustion purposes, by where a fuel substance is rapidly reacted with heat and oxygen in order operate equipment such as engines, boilers or kilns. Reflow ovens are used within the electronics industry to solder components onto circuit boards. Compartments exist within the oven with varying temperatures, to control the soldering process. The presence of oxygen within many oven applications can severely affect procedures and the properties of the materials being heated.

Reduce down-time, equipment failure and energy use
R
unning manufacturing automation systems at high temperatures will have a major negative impact on the system’s performance and reduce its service life. By not keeping their drives at or close to their optimum operating temperature, manufacturers risk huge consequential costs when the production line grinds to a halt as a result of system failure. A typical electrical component’s life expectancy is approximately halved for every 10 °C increase in its ambient temperature. Controlling the temperature within enclosures is therefore critical for manufacturers to avoid premature component failure and the interruption to production if the automation system falls over. A Rittal RiAssure3 survey will identify the likely risk of a system overheating which could lead to equipment tripping or failing. The survey will review any existing cooling solution and determine how suited it is to that particular working environment.
