The Ground Retractable Automobile Barrier (GRAB) 300 is a flexible non-hydraulic barrier that absorbs energy. A reduced-risk alternative to rigid wedge barriers, the GRAB-300 keeps perimeters safe while protecting resources and lives. It deploys in less than 2 s and is reusable after impact. This single barrier requires only a shallow-mount foundation and replaces up to five conventional active vehicle barriers. It has a flexible power supply and can span multiple lanes.

The Impasse high-security fence system is a significant improvement over typical chain link and ornamental mesh fences. Impasse consists of heavy-steel palisades that allow facilities to incorporate multiple perimeter-security peripherals into the fence system. These peripherals, which include intrusion detection systems (IDSs), fiber optic networks, conduit, and closed circuit television (CCTV) monitors, combine to create a formidable design that is superior to, and typically less-costly than, a patchwork system.

FFT Secure Fence is a fiber-optic perimeter security and intrusion-detection system that pinpoints breaches to within 10 m along approved perimeter fences, which can stretch as long as 80 km. Multiple systems can be networked together to monitor longer distances. Performance testing demonstrates a success rate of better than 95%. An advanced signature-analysis feature virtually eliminates nuisance alarms. The system requires no additional electronics or power in the field, and is immune to both electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.

The FiberPatrol FP1100-X security system monitors the perimeter of a plant, typically via a single fiber optic cable. If the sensing cable is severed, the system remains fully operational by using distributed fiber loopback technology to reroute optical signals. It can be installed alone or as part of an integrated solution. Users can choose fence-mounted and in-ground installations. The continuous sensor cable can extend for miles and does not require electrical power anywhere in the field. As an option, the cable may include additional fibers for video and data transmission.

Designed for use on indoor conveyor systems, the Model RSC line of safety-stop-controls can be purchased in four styles, including both single-ended (RSC-A and RSC-B) and double-ended units (RSC-C), as well as slack-wire and tight-wire versions. Tight-wire models RSC-B and RSC-C have an external tension spring to maintain constant tension on the pull cable. These units will activate an alarm if the cable is pulled or breaks. Once a problem has been corrected, the unit must be manually reset by physically moving the reset level.

The newest size in this company’s line of conical tanks is a 560-gal model, molded of polyethylene. The components are molded into place, as well, including fittings, flats on the tank roof, forklift access for easy tank placement, and four anchor points on the bottom, for better stability. Available in sizes from 300 to 8,000 gal, the tank features uniform wall thickness and boasts excellent corrosion resistance.

This service, which uses state-of-the-art laboratory apparatus from various manufacturers, complies with both European and North American standards for dust explosion hazard testing. A computerized dual-laser particle-size analyzer details full particle-size-distribution information, improving on the basic Taylor Sieve size-analysis technique. Samples may be tested as-received or processed to comply with the ASTM-standard recommended size of smaller than 75 µm.

The high-capacity MV Multi-Trap vacuum pump inlet-traps guard pumps against corrosive vapors and binder materials that are present during extrusion processes. These byproducts can condense and accumulate, resulting in pump failure and the need for more-frequent maintenance. The traps are available in 10-in., 12-in., and 16-in.-dia. models and can handle vacuum pump capacities up to 2,000 ft3/min. They come with activated alumina or charcoal filter elements for vapors and specialized elements.

The B-Series valve is designed for use with steam, water, gases and other liquids at maximum temperatures and pressures of 204°C (400°F) and 27 barg (400 psig). In the two-way configuration, the plug-stem may be replaced without removal of the valve or actuator. The three-way valve is ideal for applications that either combine two fluids or divert a single fluid for temperature control.

The ergonomically designed Reach-In CO2 incubator provides the ideal environment for small-to-large-scale, high-volume cell culture. This 30-ft2 chamber provides precise control of temperature, relative humidity, and CO2, and offers the latest technology in sensors, including infrared (IR) CO2. Control and uniformity parameters are said to rival any conventional benchtop incubator, providing maximum culturing space in a minimal footprint.
