Highly adaptable blue silicone rubber vacuum pad S
MC has extended its range of vacuum pads with the ZP3P which has an enhanced design for stable adsorption and handling. It features a thin and soft pad skirt, with reduced leakage and a strong grip, making it suitable for working with thin workpieces that deform during adsorption. Furthermore, the flat shape of the vacuum pad with a central stopper creates a surface that does not damage or deface the product and prevents wrinkles on thin materials
such as vinyl and film.
The pad is made from a silicone rubber that is compliant with the FDA 21CFR§177.2600 elution test. Its blue in colour can be spotted easily during contamination inspections, making it suitable for the food and medical sectors.
The pad design of the ZP3P is suitable for a wide range of applications such as film packaging, palletising, printing and labelling.

Measurement of high viscosity glucose B

ell Flow Systems was recently approached by a production line specialist. They had been asked to
measure the flow of glucose in a newly built processing plant for a large, UK-based soft drinks manufacturer. Bell Flow offered a Macnaught oval gear type positive
displacement meter. This particular range of meters is constructed from food grade stainless steel. With high viscosity stainless steel rotors capable of measuring viscosities over 10,000 centipoise. Hygienic tri-clamp connections, FDA approval, and locally-mounted IP67 rated batch controllers completed the selection.
The oval gear meter principle ensures flexibility of installation. There are no straight lengths of pipe needed,
permitting vertical or horizontal installation. Additionally, these meters create an exceptionally low pressure drop - which was critical to the application.

HBM sets new standards with new ClipX signal conditioner
N
ow available from HBM – a market leader in test and measurement – is the revolutionary new ClipX signal
conditioner, which sets new standards in industrial process control by simply integrating into existing machines and production systems. Designed to optimise production processes, ClipX is a dynamic signal conditioner that not only amplifies signals and transfers them to the control unit, without any interference but also completes preliminary calculations and summaries, to reduce the load on higher level controls. This means that the innovative new ClipX is able to
accomplish some of the tasks that would otherwise be taken on by the higher-level controller. Suitable for monitoring and measuring tasks in test
benches, machines and production plants, ClipX can be used as a standalone device or as part of a system of networked devices.
