Hyperchill technology for food and beverage applications “Hyperchill combines advanced design solutions, such as energy saving scroll compressors and a sophisticated microprocessor, with unique features to meet the specific needs of different industrial users. Combined with a small footprint, this leads to a compact space-saving and energy efficient solutions,” said Australian Business Development Manager, John Davis. Hyperchill process chillers include standard and custom designed options; a wide range of cooling capacities; minimal space-saving footprint and low energy consumption. John Davis, Parker domnick
hunter Filtration Modular heat exchanger This all new design uses a unique, bolt together system to join tubes enabling endless options by adding or re-configuring the heat exchanger to meet any changed or increased application in the future. The Dimpleflo Modubloc is an all Stainless Steel tube-in-tube heat exchanger making it both hygienic and suitable for corrosive environments. Due to its tight involute configuration, it provides high efficiency heat transfer of slurries in a compact, cost-effective design. It is capable of processing fluids with up to 85% solids. The new design builds on the attributes of Dimpleflo Heat Exchangers that combine a free-draining, compact configuration with extremely high heat transfer co-efficients in an overall package that has proven to be virtually maintenance free. …and pressure tank mixers Mixquip Side Entry Agitators now incorporate an advanced design Mechanical Seal, to suit all high pressure applications. Products in pressure vessels, deaerators and vacuum tanks can be blended or mixed using these new Mixquip Agitators. These Australian made agitators can now be simply fitted to blend and mix any liquids in pressure vessel mixing requirements. They provide low-shear agitation when fitted with Mixquip “Superflow” propeller, producing high flow while using less energy. Mixquip Agitators have all stainless steel wetted parts and have been successful into a wide range of mixing application which include, dairy, food, wine, beverage, juice and alcohol products. Further information is available from Radar level transmitter for challenging solids applications Siemens patented Sonic Intelligence software (used on ultrasonic transceivers) has been applied to this latest radar technology. The new antenna system is designed for low loss and improved gain, thus increasing the signal-to-noise ratio an additional 20 dB over the previous SITRANS LR 400. This innovation allows for detection of very low dielectric constant materials at long ranges. This measurement is possible with a small horn antenna of only 100 mm diameter. Intense dust in the silo atmosphere does not attenuate the radar signal, as the device uses electromagnetic waves at 24 GHz travelling at the speed of light to measure the distance to the material surface. With the built-in Easy Aimer, it is simple to install and orient the device. The transmitter can be positioned perfectly relative to the sloped surface of the material, improving the return signal quality. Ample room is provided for wiring and rugged screw terminals are provided, allowing fast and easy installation and wiring. The infrared handheld programmer is non-intrusive, allowing the device to be programmed without opening the cover. Extreme process temperatures up to 200oC can be accommodated and material temperature is unlimited. Optional self-cleaning purging connection and dust covers are available to prevent sticky solids from building up inside the antenna. Siemens Australia and New Zealand New generation checkweigher The Versa Weigh 300 is of a modular easily maintained sanitary design with durable components. It uses a Microsoft Windows XP operating system with large, easy to read, colour touch screen operation and configurable security access levels and can be combined with Thermo Fisher Scientific metal detection systems. The Thermo Scientific VersaWeigh 300 family includes models ranging in package weight capacity of 1.5–10 kg, belt width of 100–300 mm, motor power rating from 100 W to 400 W, and one or two loadcells. AuditCheck metal detection systems AuditCheck is an automatic, failsafe method of measuring relative sensitivity performance. It employs a test shuttle that analyses a calibration detection signal that is used as a standard for future tests. Each time an AuditCheck test is carried out, it is compared to the calibration graph. Small variations are permitted, but if there are changes in the system due to the influences such as product build-up or parameter changes, a warning will be given. More serious deviations from normal will generate an alarm. By monitoring small changes in performance, it is possible to re-calibrate and correct abnormalities before they cause serious line stoppages and consequent loss of production. AuditCheck can be used with various types of metal detection systems including conveyor, pipeline and gravity feed. Options available with AuditCheck include reject validation and the bin-full system. Tony Dinallo, J L Lennard General Manager Packaging |

SITRANS
LR 460 is the new continuous radar level measurement transmitter from
Siemens featuring 24 GHz FMCW (frequency-modulated continuous wave)
technology and process intelligence echo processing. It is promoted
as offering unparalleled performance on difficult solids applications.
Built on the award-winning SITRANS LR 400 platform, the SITRANS LR 460
is suitable for solids applications containing extreme dust, high temperatures,
and long ranges to 100 m. Virtually any solid medium can be measured,
including flour and grain. DT also has new process intelligence advanced
echo-processing software and completely redesigned high frequency/high
gain circuitry, allowing it to reliably measure difficult applications
without ever touching the material!
