ATEX-compliant motors Reliable water supply for hazardous conditions analysis improves safety WEG has launched ATEXcompliant geared motors for companies involved in harsh processing applications in nearly all industries worldwide.

handled by form-fitting, zerobacklash claw couplings, with vibration and shock effectively dampened by an elastic coupling spider (98 Shore A).

Combining gear units from the company’s subsidiary WATT Drive with W22X motors, available in frame sizes from IEC 71 to IEC 800 and energy efficiency classes up to IE4.

On request, return stops can also be integrated into the IEC adapters so that the explosionproof drives can be used in applications where reverse operation must be prevented, such as angled conveyor belts.

The ATEX 95 certified adapters for motors with frame size from 71 to 225 allow motors with IEC B5 mounting to be attached to modular Watt gear units without modification. When it comes to frame sizes from 100 to 225, torque transfer between the motor and the gear unit is

The geared motors can be used for equipment group I category M2 and equipment group II in zone 1/21 and 2/22 explosion hazard areas. www.weg.net/uk

improving safety and regulatory compliance. The PowerMon NG itself is a further development of the existing PowerMon units and will combine and replace the existing PowerMon and PowerMon S analysers in one entity.

Analysers need very low maintenance.

Through its Bran+Luebbe brand, SPX has launched a range of PowerMon continuous and fully automatic on-line analysers. SPX launched the PowerMon NG analyser at ACHEMA in June. With its voltammetry technology, heavy metal levels can be measured in ground water, river water or tap water on site

WEG’s technologically harmonised ATEX-compliant geared motors are designed to work reliably even under the most demanding conditions.

Non-pulsating lobe pump delivers continuous flow OCOR Corporation has released the prototype of a fully reversible lobe pump that produces both high pressure and high volume flow in a single stage, delivering continuous, non-pulsating flow.

pump technology has countless applications. In his words, “Solving this major design issue, when it comes to materials delivery, can be an invaluable breakthrough to industries worldwide”.

The Ocor multiple segment lobe pump transports all types of media, including high and low viscosity liquids, air and gases, as well as semi-solids such as mud or slurries of combined materials in a smooth, continuous stream.

Voltammetry technology, both anodic stripping voltammetry and cathodic stripping voltammetry will be added to the existing analysing methods – colorimetry, ionometry, titrometry and spectrometry. The PowerMon range is designed to meet the needs of approximately 200 different water applications with more than 15,000 analyses possible. They can measure diverse parameters including oxygen, pH, Redox and conductivity with the connection of various sensors. www.spx.com

Graphical controller improves performance Grundfos Hydro MPC pump systems can be used in many applications including pressure boosting and municipal water transfer. The Grundfos Hydro MPC BoosterpaQ is a fully-integrated and compact pressure-boosting system that offers multiple configurations, with up to six pumps in parallel, to accommodate water supply systems, as well as industrial and irrigation applications. Using actual pump-curve data, the CU 352 controller helps to optimize energy consumption by controlling/staging the number of pumps in operation, as well as the speed of the individual pumps, in order to continually

Hydro MPC BoosterpaQ systems can be used in a wide array of applications.
