ADVERTORIAL TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
Increase Reliability and Efficiency of your Weighing Process E
ven small inefficiencies can add up to big costs. Why settle for inefficient operations when you can improve overall productivity with innovative POWERCELL® technology from METTLER TOLEDO. Modern weigh modules with POWERCELL® technology help predict and diagnose issues before they even happen
to avoid downtime and production problems - keeping your equipment running until repair is possible. METTLER TOLEDO's accuracy white paper and batch-control checklist can help increase yield, reduce risks and enhance the efficiency of your weighing process. Stand-alone batch controller advantages also include:
Complete PACEline CLP range from HBM reaches the parts other load washers can’t reach!

BM – a market leader in the field of test and measurement – is pleased to announce the launch of
three new piezoelectric miniature force washers, which enable force to be measured at locations where standard force sensors cannot be installed. Available in three new capacities, (3 kN, 14 kN and 36 kN) the latest additions complete the innovative PACEline CLP range from HBM and are available for instant integration into existing set ups using all industry-standard screw connections from M2.5 to M14. Featuring a compact design the latest additions to the
PACEline CLP range can be easily installed in very small sets ups, without the need to resize or adapt the screw or bolt connections, offering substantial time savings.

Emergency drive hire avoids pollution risk for Anglian Water

quick response from an ABB authorised value provider ensured that Anglian Water avoided the risk of a sewage
leak by loaning a variable speed drive (VSD) at one of its pumping stations.
Gibbons Engineering Group supplied a 110 kW drive as part of its hire scheme when a fault in an existing unit put a pump out of action at the Great Stampbridge pumping station. Anglian Water’s Brad Colledge says: “With the loss of one pump, our pumping capacity was seriously reduced. If
we had lost another pump, we would have faced the risk of the incoming flow exceeding the outgoing flow, leading to a serious danger of a sewage overflow from the site that could contaminate local water courses.” The hire drive was in operation the next day and operated for three weeks while the regular drive was being
u 01925 741111 Supreme corrosion protection for actuators
A new TÜV certificate confirms that AUMA electric actuators comply with C5-M long and C5-I long corrosivity categories.
category C5-M long, with no extra measures or additional costs. C5-I long is available as an option. To achieve C5-M certification,
the products had to undergo a salt mist test (EN ISO 9227:2012) for 1,500 hours and a constant humidity test with condensation (EN ISO 6270-2:2005) for 720 hours. For C5-I certification, the devices had to additionally withstand 30 cycles of a condensation alternating climate test containing sulfur dioxide (EN ISO 3231). Following the tests the AUMA products showed no signs of rust. Key to the excellent corrosion
A
new TÜV certificate confirms that AUMA’s electric actuators have passed the most demanding corrosion
protection tests and meet the requirements of EN ISO 12944-6 for corrosivity categories C5-M long (marine, coastal and offshore areas) and C5-I long (industrial areas with high humidity and aggressive atmospheres). Previous tests had already proved the high corrosion
resistance of the advanced two-layer powder coating AUMA introduced a few years ago. The latest certificate confirms that the fully-assembled actuators, including all non-powder-coated metallic parts such as shafts and screws, withstand corrosion equally well.

“Excellent corrosion protection is a key concern for us as an actuator manufacturer,” says Gert Wetzel, Product Manager at AUMA. “Rust is not only ugly but can also cause considerable costs as it reduces plant availability and performance. Most of our actuators are installed in harsh environments, whether indoors or outdoors. We have invested continuously in product and materials design, and we are proud that these challenging tests confirm our products have the best corrosion protection on the market.” Standard AUMA SA and SQ actuators with AC or AM integral controls meet the requirements of corrosivity
resistance is a two-layer powder coating applied to the individual housing parts before assembly. As a feature unique to AUMA actuators, the coating also includes the output mounting flange and goes beyond the sealing edge of the joints. This means that the coating remains
intact even if the actuator is removed from the valve or if the housing is opened during installation or commissioning.
