SCC-15-B screen classifying cutter

March 5, 2012

The SCC-15-B screen classifying cutter reduces hard, soft, and fibrous materials into particles of controlled sizes at high rates and with minimal fines. The proprietary rotor, consisting of cutter heads attached to interconnected parallelograms (a helical array of staggered holders), continuously shears oversize materials against twin, stationary bed knives. The cutter tips, which are available in stainless steel, tool steel, and tungsten carbide, can be slid onto blade holders and secured with one retaining socket-head screw, which allows for rapid replacement.

Gold Series cartridge dust collector

March 5, 2012

This firm’s Gold Series cartridge dust collector is now available with an optional integrated high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter that is mounted on top of the collector so that no additional floor space is required. This after-filter prevents collected dust from re-entering the workspace in case of a leak in the dust collector’s primary filtering system. It is a required component in recirculating dust collection systems that filter hazardous dusts and recycle air downstream of the collector.

Asset Manager R400

March 5, 2012

Asset Manager R400 allows users to coordinate all aspects of plant maintenance and operations — people, processes, and technologies — using a single comprehensive solution that seamlessly integrates with the firm’s other applications as well as leading third-party applications, such as IBM Maximo for enterprise-wide asset management. It enables users at all levels of plant operations to collaborate effectively in order to determine how to address abnormal equipment conditions and plan maintenance while assuring production dependability.

Black coating

March 5, 2012

The Black coating is an advanced blend of fluoropolymer, engineered plastics, and corrosion inhibitors that provides protection against rust and corrosion. Its properties include low friction, strong adhesion, and resistance to wear and abrasion, chipping, and elements such as weather, sunlight, and salt water. Laboratory and field tests show that the coating resists corrosion after more than 1,600 h of exposure, making it at least 300% more resistant than advanced plating. It works in a wide range of temperatures, from –420°F to 500°F. 

split-ring AEGIS bearing protection ring

March 5, 2012

The split-ring AEGIS bearing protection ring protects AC motor bearings from electrical damage by safely grounding shaft currents induced by variable-frequency drives (VFDs). The unit has a 360-deg. circumferential inner ring of conductive microfibers permanently secured in place by the firm’s patented FiberLock channel, which prevents the microfiber brushes from breaking, loosening, or falling out. The kit includes engineered silver-filled conductive epoxy for mounting the ring.

Wear Plates

March 5, 2012

These high-hardness wear plates protect inlets, curves, discharge sections, and other areas of equipment from premature wear due to high-impact contact with abrasive materials traveling at high velocities. They are suitable for processes that handle glass-filled plastic resins, ceramic particles, mineral aggregates, abrasive grains, and other powdered, granular, or viscous materials.

Omnilube food-grade (H1) compressor lubricants

March 5, 2012

Omnilube food-grade (H1) compressor lubricants are said to provide better lubricity and protection against wear, and be less susceptible to oxidation, than other H1 food-grade synthetic lubricants. Omnilube 32/46, 68, and 455 are formulated from high-quality polyalphaolefin (PAO) base oils and a proprietary additive package to achieve long life. The three oils are designed for rotary-screw compressors and, depending on the screw design, can have a service life of up to 8,000 h. Omnilube 455 can be used in reciprocating compressors.

Portable Lubrication System

March 5, 2012

This mobile system for storing and dispensing lubricants, cutting oils, bearing oils, hydraulic fluids, transmission fluids, and engine oils is delivered on a pallet that can be placed in the bed of a heavy-duty pickup truck and transported to multiple locations spread over a large area. It includes two 50-gal and two 25-gal steel containers with PVC sight gages, filters to remove any dirt or small particulates, and air-operated piston pumps with a 5:1 pumping ratio.

CyberKey Vault Single Electronic Key Cabinet

March 5, 2012

The CyberKey Vault Single Electronic Key Cabinet requires an employee to present a radio-frequency identification (RFID) card to open the vault and retrieve the electronic key contained inside. Upon presentation of the required RFID card by authorized personnel, the vault programs the appropriate access permissions for that employee and releases the programmed key. The electronic key can be shared by any number of employees, from shift to shift, or management can issue one RFID card to each authorized employee.

SMS4 Release 3

March 5, 2012

SMS4 Release 3 is security-management software that uses pervasive real-time video to coordinate the responses of multiple agencies and operatives. The system automatically validates incoming data to verify critical events and escalates video to personnel in the appropriate locations who can manage the situation and ensure an appropriate response. The software filters out false alerts through qualification of incoming data. Prior intelligence can be embedded by specifying the combination and sequence of events that may constitute a situation.
