EQUIPMENT & SERVICES << FLOW SENSOR DOESN’T REQUIRE SHUT-DOWN The Signet 2552 metal magmeter is an insertion flow sensor that permits hot-tap access to the pipe stream. This design allows quick and easy installation or maintenance without system shut-down, significantly reducing overall costs. Three output choices are incorporated into a durable metal housing, providing a device capable of accurate flow sensing in extremely harsh environments. It can be mounted into a broad range of pipe sizes from 2-in. to 48-in. GF Piping Systems (800) 854-4090 www.gfpiping.com VALVE SIMPLIFIES STERILE POWDER TRANSFER The aseptic ChargePoint high-containment split butterfly valve enables powder transfer without risk of product contamination or operator exposure. The valve allows products to be transferred in a sterile manner, by creating an intermediate chamber, which can be sterilized before each product transfer. This in situ sterilization capability ensures sterility of the split valve parts when fully docked. The intermediate docking position allows cleaning and irrigation of the intermediate zone with HEPA filtered nitrogen or air to achieve Grade A/Class 100 environment prior to sterilization with hydrogen peroxide vapor. This cleaning and sterilization cycle enables aseptic product transfers and connections. The combination of decontamination and sterilization results in prevention of endotoxins and minimization of bioburden. Powder Systems Limited (208) 376 7008 www.p-s-l.com/ FILTER PROVIDES FOR REUSE OF WATER The EBS is an automatic filter, with a self-cleaning mechanism driven by an electric motor. It is designed to work with various types of screens with infiltration degrees from 500 to 10 micron, and is available in 8-in. to 24-in. inlet/outlet diameter. The filter operation and cleaning cycle is controlled and monitored by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Amiad Filtration Systems (800) 969-4055 www.amiadusa.com STRIPED TUBING HELPS IDENTIFY DIFFERENT LINES The Colortrax line of striped fluoropolymer tubing can be used to distinguish chemical-process and fluid-handling lines or other types of connections where quick tube identification is necessary. The tubing boasts a stripe that runs its entire length and provides instant, positive identification of lines without obstructing the view of the media flowing through the tube. It is available in PTFE, FEP and PFA resins, in sizes up to 1-in. OD and in up to 10 striping colors. For more lines, two stripes of the same or different colors can be placed side by side.
