FlexAct workstations simplify the conversion from stainless steel equipment or individual disposable components to integrated single-use systems, enabling biomanufacturers to use integrated disposable equipment for entire biomanufacturing steps in upstream and downstream processing. FlexAct BP is designed for the preparation of buffers that are essential for stabilizing target molecules and providing optimal production conditions.
Envirosight has tripled the size of its Randolph, NJ, headquarters, with amenities that include a 25-seat classroom where end users and regional sales partners receive regular training on pipe inspection technologies and methods. Its new lab broadens the company’s onsite research and testing capabilities and will quicken time-to-market processes for new products. Its technical service center has room for up to 12 technicians and provides enhanced capabilities for maintenance, repair and new product prototyping, as well as technical training for end users and sales partners.
The Fluke Challenge is an interactive video game set in an imaginary industrial workplace that makes it fun to learn how thermal imaging technology helps solve maintenance problems. The game takes place in gritty industrial equipment rooms with a supervisor nearby who checks the user’s progress. As would happen in real life, the player scans the rooms and detects problems using the thermal imager, which also captures and saves images. Possible problems to report to the boss include: an overloaded transformer, overheated fuses, stuck valves, etc.
Designed for pumps and mixers, the PSS III is a single OD pressurized split seal that is suitable for use in paper mills, wastewater treatment facilities, soda ash processing and light chemical plants. Easy to install and maintain, the seal handles vacuum to 300 psig in normal operating conditions and successfully operates after experiencing excursions up to 450 psig. The allowable temperature range of the PSS III is 0–250°F, but custom designs may expand these limits of operations.
Capable of operating in harsh process conditions, Tex-Grid grid packing promotes high heat-transfer efficiency, while maintaining structural integrity and fouling resistance. Ideally applied to the refining, chemical process and steel production industries, Tex-Grid is easier to clean and return to service than random or corrugated packings. Its rugged welded-construction enables performance in dirty, high-temperature applications in refinery atmospheric and vacuum crude towers, fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) fractionators, coker units and ethylene quench columns.
A portable, route-based vibration-data collection device, the CSI 2130 Machine Health Collector features high-speed, single-channel collection, a full-color backlit VGA display, and a lightweight but rugged design. PeakVue processing utilizes digital technology to detect stress waves on the spot as an early sign of bearing or gear wear, and indicates the severity of a fault, enabling technicians to call for immediate maintenance if needed.
Having a regular preventive maintenance schedule can help avoid wasted time and money due to unexpected breakdowns and ensuing repair work. The Maintenance-Master Board displays and schedules a full year of preventive maintenance actions for each machine, vehicle and equipment item in a facility. Color-coded magnets identify the week’s job assignments, giving managers and employees a heads-up on maintenance work for the entire year ahead. The Maintenance- Master Board comes in three sizes, allowing 52 weeks of scheduling for 66, 90 or 180 line items.
The AEGIS SGR Conductive MicroFiber Shaft Grounding Ring is ideal for predictive and preventive maintenance programs on variable-frequency drive (VFD)-controlled AC motors and large DC motors. By protecting bearings from electrical damage, the SGR extends motor life, preventing bearing noise, downtime and costly motor repairs or replacements. Unlike conventional shaft-grounding brushes, the SGR’s conductive microfibers: work with virtually no friction or wear; are unaffected by dirt, grease or other contaminants; and last for the life of the motor.
The PPAC clamps provide a highly effective and efficient solution for pipe erosion common in these extreme environments. Economical and easy to install, the PPAC clamps are available in single Standard Series and Twin Clamp Series DIN 3015 Parts 1 & 2 in sizes up to 1-in.-O.D. (25.4mm).
The SKF spherical roller thrust bearings are engineered to accommodate heavy axial and simultaneous radial loads in high-speed industrial equipment applications. Their self-aligning capability further allows these bearings to compensate for shaft deflection and misalignment without reducing bearing service life. Applications include large vertical electric motors, gearboxes, pumps, fans, crushers, machine tools, injection molding equipment, and other machinery performing at relatively high speeds and with combined loads.
