The benefits of this product go beyond equipment reliability to include health, safety and environmental applications. Emerson Process Management; Austin, Texas 512-832-3089; www.emersonprocess.com Sartorius Mechatronics; Edgewood, N.Y. 800-635-2906; www.sartorius-usa.com Coriolis for measurement Proline Promass S is a the new hygienic Coriolis solution for the food and beverage industry. It provides multivariable measurement, reducing your metering point costs while providing a highly optimized signal for mass flow, volume flow, density and temperature or even calculating temperature dependent density variables of concentration (e.g. ºBrix, ºPlato, etc.). It has advanced diagnostics as well as on-board batching software. Endress + Hauser; Greenwood, Ind. 888-363-7377; www.us.endress.com Measuring pH, temp, NaCl Cool without a fan The Allen-Bradley VersaView 200R industrial computer has a 50ºC rating and maximizes reliability with a new fanless design. It’s designed for applications that require low power consumption, ruggedness, small size and expandability – including some food applications. The nondisplay, heavy industrial computer can run visual interface, maintenance and control applications. Combining it with a VersaView industrial monitor creates an integrated, compact way to view drawings, modify ladder logic and review manuals. Rockwell Automation; Milwaukee 800-223-5354; www.ab.com/go/pr200r The basic PP-15 meter measures pH and mV, ORP (redox) and temperature while the PP-20 model uses a dual-channel to include simultaneous measurement of conductivity, salinity, NaCl content or total dissolved solids. With menu-driven user interfaces and interactive online help, each meter is easily controlled and delivers a high degree of accuracy. Flexible parameters allow each meter to adapt to even unusual measuring conditions or samples for increased repeatability of individual measurements. For humid environments Featuring a stainless steel diaphragm and fully welded construction that eliminates the need for an O-ring seal, PT 510 pressure transmitters prove more effective in humid environments with chilled media than conventional O-ring sealed sensors. This makes them suitable for food, beverage and other challenging applications. They are available with a measurement range up to 500 psi and an accuracy rating of 0.5 percent of the full-scale reading. Turck Inc.; Plymouth, Minn. 800-544-7769; www.turck.com Open-mesh conveyor belt Monitor vibration CSI 9420 Machinery Health Transmitter is a wireless vibration transmitter that monitors mechanical equipment to deliver predictive diagnostics for improved reliability and plant safety. The rugged device connects quickly, easily and economically to any machine and delivers vibration information over a wireless selforganizing network. Customers can costeffectively apply it on pumps, motors, www.foodprocessing.com CompactGrid is a USDA-accepted metal conveyor belt engineered specifically to handle smaller, delicate products, while giving plants an open-mesh belt design. A rugged yet lightweight framework offers maximum strength under significant loads, lessening time spent on maintenance and reducing the number of belt replacements over time. Installation on any conveying system is quick and easy – just join or splice the belt on your conveyor by hooking the belt ends together and crimping to close.
