experience to numerous industries, including semiconductor processing, environmental chambers, energy processes, diesel emissions, medical and foodservice equipment.


S The F4T controller offers a wide range of field


removable I/O modules. Configurations can be custom tailored to meet the scaling needs of a tremendous range of equipment and applications. It combines power, flexibility and functionality with best-in-class ease of use.


• 4.3-inch high resolution capacitive touch screen • 1 to 4 channel PID process and machine control • 1 to 24 channel data logging • Superior temperature and humidity control • Easy connectivity and data mobility • Configuration and monitoring software • The F4T can log process data from the ASPRYE and display it on the screen


Watlow’s new ASPYRE® power controller family is available with a variety of options allowing one platform to be


reused across a wide range of applications, which can help save time and money. ASPYRE models available include sizes from 35 to 700 amps.


This power controller family features multiple advanced microprocessor-based firing and control mode algorithms. Combined with diagnostics and several communications options, the product enables equipment automation.


• Industry-leading design and ease of service • Wet heater bake out • Improved process control for a wide variety of load types • Built-in voltage and current sensors, semiconductor fuses, alarms and diagnostic features • Connectivity access to process and equipment data through a wide range of communication protocols • Connecting ASPYRE with an F4T simplifies your thermal system and lowers overall system costs


Watlow Plasmatech GmbH u +43 6244 20129 0 u www.watlow.com Upgraded Hi-Line adsorption dryers ideal for breathing air applications The Atacama-CT Plus series offers corrected flow rates


from 0.2 to 2.83 m3/min. Importantly, this three-stage unit features a CT (Carbon Tower) located after the adsorption dryer. Clean, dry air passes through the third CT stage and adsorbs gases and aerosols depending on requirements and which zeolites are selected. To attain Class ‘0’ for medical and food production applications the air needs to be oil-free, which can be achieved thanks to the use of high-quality carbon. Even working with a fully oil lubricated screw, vane or piston compressor, the Atacama- CT Plus will achieve better than ISO8573-1:2010 Class 1, giving a total oil concentration of less than 0.003 mg/m³, which is significantly less than that found in normal atmospheric air at home or in the workplace. Also featuring the newly upgraded diaphragm valves is


Hi-line’s off-the-shelf model, the Atacama Plus. As standard, this unit dries air to a dewpoint of -40°C and comes with pre and after filtration. All Atacama Plus dryers, including the CT model, feature an energy-saving digital controller and dewpoint control function. Atacama Plus is available for next-day delivery and


air sector, now feature upgraded diaphragm valves that are helping these point-of-use units prove even more reliable for Class ‘0’ breathing air applications in the medical and hospital sectors. Hi-line Industries will remain open throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to help serve the medical and healthcare industry, as well as those involved in food production. The company’s service and main

tacama-CT Plus adsorption dryers from Hi-line Industries, a leading UK supplier to the compressed


reception numbers, as well as the mobile numbers of key staff, remain available to support customers. Based on a heavier duty specification, the new valves


in the Atacama-CT Plus range now feature a tougher diaphragm that is resistant to both oil and aggressive condensate. This robust engineering is matched by other sturdy features on the valves, such as 100% rated anti- vibrating coils, special locating lugs and a machined pilot hole in place of an O-ring.

offers capacity from 5 to 100cfm. The unit features aluminium top and bottom valve blocks and extruded aluminium chambers filled with desiccant. Air is dried as it passes through the desiccant bed in one of the chambers, while the other chamber regenerates using the PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) principle. The change is automatic and controlled by the digital controller. These popular and environmentally-friendly compressed air dryers are suited to sectors that include pharmaceutical, dairy, brewing and general manufacturing, to list but a few.
