By teaming with Anguil, the division has been able to meet EPA standards, increase production and reduce energy consumption by replacing older air pollution control devices with new oxidizer technologies. The three oxidizer systems are handling more than 105,000 scfm of process air and reaching destruction rates higher than 99 percent.

According to the company, gas usage on Brady’s three coating lines continues to drop at a steady rate.

High-Efficiency Oven Can Reduce Energy Costs
Thicker wall panels, high-efficiency motors, a door limit switch and other energy-saving features to help reduce operating costs are part of an energy-efficiency package that can be added to one ovenmaker’s equipment. East Troy-based Wisconsin Oven introduced its E-Pack Oven upgrade to help oven buyers easily identify and add features that improve energy efficiency.

Analyze It
What can your hot oil heat transfer fluid tell you about your system? A lot, if you'll take the time to look.

Controlling Conveyor Dryer Operation
Understanding how to control and monitor critical process parameters such as air temperature, humidity and exhaust rate will allow you to maximize the economic payback of your dryer.

How To Get the Best Temperature Control
Operating tips help you get the most out of this important piece of process equipment.

Motors for Pumps
For pumps to operate, they need some type of driver, and the most popular driver is the electric motor.

Standardizing Electric Process Heaters
Electric process heating has been accepted by all industries, yet there has not been an industry-standard specification. The lack of a specification creates confusion for end users, engineering companies and suppliers.

Heat-Tracing Control, Monitoring, Power Distribution System
Designed for industrial heat-tracing systems used in process-temperature maintenance and freeze-protection applications, DigiTrace NGC-30 can control up to 260 circuits with multiple networked panels. The electronic, multi-circuit control, monitoring and power distribution system provides continuous monitoring of temperature, ground-fault, operating currents and voltages, where a change in levels indicates potential issues in the field. Upsets are reported to the user with clear messages and alarms on the user-interface terminal or remotely using the client-server software package DigiTrace Supervisor.

Ovens for Booster, Pre-Gel and Full Cure Applications
Catalyzing natural gas within the oven to heat a part directly, this flameless technology produces a uniform, low intensity heat and can be provided as a stand-alone booster/gel oven or inserted into a convection oven. Utilizing infrared rather than convection or conduction for the transfer of heat, the ovens heat only the surface of the part and powder, rather than the entire part. Fully modular and easily integrated into new and retrofit curing applications, they offer precise, repeatable PLC control, and no blowers or fans are necessary.

Visual Supervisors
Eycon Series provides multi-function control, recording and visualization in a single unit. The visual supervisor technology incorporates functionality that will allow users to completely manage a process, utilizing it as a “mini DCS.” The instruments can be used as a building block within larger systems communicating over Ethernet (ELIN). The integrated full color display uses touch-screen technology. The pop-up navigation menus provide an intuitive interface to functions such as batch control, recipe management, together with commissioning and diagnostic tools.

Gas Detector for Two-Wire Systems
Designed to use existing two-wire systems to monitor toxic and oxygen gas hazards in potentially flammable environments, Series 3000 XPIS has Intrinsic Safety and explosionproof hazardous area approval, allowing the unit to be wired along other field wiring without IS certification. Operating on a standard two-wire, 4 to 20 mA loop, the gas detector is suitable for new and retrofit applications in refineries and chemical plants, power plants, wastewater facilities and utilities. It incorporates gas sensors that configure automatically when they are plugged into the device. Onboard diagnostics provide information during operation and fault-finding routines.

Rotary Transport Pumps
Model RTP20 has removable feet and multiple mounting methods to ease use in vertical or horizontal applications. The high-speed rotary transport pump fills rotor voids, allowing faster and quieter operation on viscous liquids. With a longer sealing land at rotor tips, the pumps also provide efficiency when working with lower-viscosity products. Features include capacities to 264 gal/min; pressures to 145 psi; and operating temperatures to 230°F (110°C).

Submersible Pressure Transducer
Model 595 proves a true level reading even when subjected to media temperature changes over the range of 23 to 113°F (-5 to 45°C), making it suitable for pump tests. The digitally compensated pressure transducer has 18 stainless steel wetted parts to resist corrosion in long-term submersible operations. A hermetic header prevents water from entering the transducer even if the cable sheath is damaged. Rapid venting is achieved through the large-bore vent tube connected directly to the back of the sensor.
