| 03/08 Compressed Air Industry FOOD PROCESSING | RESOURCES FOR ENERGY ENGINEERS PRODUCT PICKS Portal Website with Oil-less Vortex Blowers Hitachi America, Ltd., Industrial Systems Division has launched a B2B web-based portal for their Oil-less Vortex Blower product. The portal is designed to ensure that Hitachi customers receive consistent, rapid, firstclass service regardless of their location and to increase Hitachi Brand Awareness on the Internet. The new Hitachi Industrial Portal Website can be accessed at https://i-store.hitachi.us. Hitachi Air Technology Group (914) 631-0600, www.hitachi.us/atg Parker Hannifin offers the XM Series In-Line Valve for multiple industrial applications in a variety of pneumatic markets. XM Series direct acting valves are available in both 3-way and 4-way versions. The XM In-Line Valve is a 1⁄8", 2-position, single solenoid, spring return 3-way or 4-way valve with AC or DC operating voltages. The 12 and 24 VDC coils are rated for mobile voltage operation. XM Series 3-way valves can function as normally open or normally closed valves. Optional integrated individual flow controls are available on the 4-way valves that meter the exhaust flow from each working port to the exhaust port of the valve. This option eliminates additional component flow controls and fittings between a cylinder and a valve. The new XM In-Line Valve Series is direct operated; unlike a solenoid air pilot valve, there is no minimum operating pressure required to shift the valve. Parker Hannifin (269) 629-5000 www.parker.com Direct Acting Valve Rated for Mobile Voltage Operation New Air Systems Package Air Compressor Sullair Corporation has introduced its ES-6 Performance Air System Package featuring Sullair’s 5-to-10 hp S-energy® rotary screw air compressors in capacities from 13 to 36 acfm and pressure ratings of 125 and 175 psig. The ES-6 Performance Air System includes: p p p p Sullair ES-6 compressor with enclosure Sullair SRS refrigerated dryer Sullair SCF filter 80- or 120-gallon storage tank In-Line Solenoid Valves The CPE solenoid valve from Festo Corporation has proven its long service life and high performance with millions of installed units over many years. The classic CPE valve now has something new to offer: aluminum manifolds and M8 solenoid connections. With its slim width, the CPE valve offers the highest flow rate of any valve of its size. The valve’s compact size enables it to be installed directly on the cylinders or on moving parts. These valves can withstand the toughest operating conditions. The CPE solenoid valve can be used as an individual valve or can be mounted on a sturdy aluminum manifold — a convenient way to simplify an installation. Festo Corporation (800) 99-FESTO www.festo.com/usa The new ES-6 Systems feature a streamlined design using 40% fewer parts than con ventional models to achieve high reliability and extremely low maintenance. In addition, the systems are designed with a small footprint to be highly compact with an enclosure that is designed to allow easy access to maintenance items. The S-energy® series features Sullair’s time-proven, air-end design with low-restriction inlet value for superior cfm performance. In addition, S-energy® compressors feature a low-pressure drop air-fluid separation system to prevent energy loss and an optimal cooling system with energy-efficient, low-noise cooling fan.
