New Ultra-Hygienic Small-Scale In-Line mixer from Silverson Machines
The new 150 UHS Small-Scale In-Line mixer is designed for Ultra Hygienic applications typically encountered in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, where the smallest production scale mixers may be too large, but laboratory equipment may not offer sufficient capacity.
This new model is built to the same high specification as production scale UHS mixers and can be supplied with Silverson-designed hygienic single mechanical shaft seals, which can be converted to hygienic double mechanical shaft seals suitable for pressurised flush. They have a crevice-free construction and are designed for Clean-In-Place (CIP) and Sterilise-In-Place (SIP) operations. Ideal for batches of up to 50 litres, the mixer features a range of interchangeable workheads and screens, offering intense yet targeted high shear capability.

Babcock Wanson Launches LV-Pack Low-Voltage Industrial Electric Boiler
Industrial process heating equipment and solutions specialist Babcock Wanson has launched the LV-Pack low-voltage industrial electric boiler, with steam outputs from 600 kg/h to 8400 kg/h and a design pressure of up to 18 barg. Specifically designed to provide maximum efficiency - over 99%, as all incoming electrical energy is converted into thermal energy - with zero CO2 and NOx emissions, the LV-Pack has been introduced to help meet European requirements for energy optimisation and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Being electric with no emissions also makes for easy installation and commissioning as there is no requirement for chimneys, fuel supply networks or storage tanks. In addition, periodic monitoring of atmospheric emissions is not required. The boiler is delivered to site and, once connected to the electricity, the feed water and the steam network, is ready to operate.

Maintenance and Diagnostics: Enhancing Sensor Reliability
Pepperl+Fuchs takes a proactive approach to sensor maintenance and diagnostics, incorporating advanced features that streamline identification, monitoring, and troubleshooting within industrial plants. These functionalities facilitate efficient maintenance and lay the groundwork for predictive and demand-based actions. The Localization Function stands out as a key asset, allowing
the precise identification of a single sensor within a plant. When a sensor requires repair or replacement, a specific IO-Link parameter addresses the sensor needing localization. The device responds with a flashing display, simplifying the identification process for maintenance teams. Predictive maintenance is further supported by the Operating Hours Counter, providing real-time information on a sensor’s actual operating time. Users can set limit values to prevent the sensor from exceeding a specific number of operating hours. Service technicians receive notifications when the predetermined threshold is reached, ensuring timely replacements and minimizing unexpected downtime.
