LASER PARTICLE SIZE ANALYZER

The 1064 size and shape laser particle analyzer features an imaging system that can measure and analyze particle shape as well as size. Aspect ratio, perimeter, area, and shape factor are just some of the shape parameters that can be measured with the system. The analyzer includes the company's patented dry jet dispersion technology for performance in both wet and dry dispersion modes. The unit also is fully ISO 13320 compliant, and has a measurement range from 0.04 to 500 μm. All analyzers from this company seamlessly integrate wet and dry dispersion in the same instrument without hardware changes, thus a user can switch between wet and dry with just the click of a mouse. All optical components are permanently fixed to a cast iron plate to ensure accurate particle size data. CILAS Particle Size, (+1) 608-274-7719

SAFETY SOLUTIONS

The company offers BEMF motion monitoring, Earth-Line static discharge, and MAI access interlocks to promote production safety in industrial-processing and bulk solids-handling operations. Ensuring that motor-driven machinery, such as mixers and hammer mills, has completely stopped before access is granted, the BEMF traps a heavy-duty key until it registers that the equipment has reached zero speed, at which time the operator gains immediate access.

Earth-Line prevents the risk of explosion due to static charge when handling flammable solids, powders, liquids or gases. The electrostatic discharge system monitors resistance to earth, triggering an alarm sequence and automatically shutting down operation when a preset limit is exceeded.

MAI single-key access interlocks are said by company representatives to provide durable, trapped-key protection for safeguarding hinged and sliding doors. Depending on the number of access points requiring control, the MAI can work in conjunction with key exchange boxes and switches to form an integrated safety system. Castell Interlocks, Inc.

PRESSURE TRANSMITTER FOR DUST COLLECTORS

Non-clogging pressure transmitters are for all types of dust collectors, baghouses, and powder processes. Designed as a reliable alternative to typical tube style gauges that clog, this company's non-clogging pressure transmitters feature a large, ceramic diaphragm that is durable and wont clog. Both differential and static configurations are available in ranges to as low as 0-10 in.WC. A 4-20mA output is provided from the all-stainless-steel, heavy-duty package.
