VACUUM PUMPS

Trouble-free service

With parts made from wetted aluminum for corrosion protection, the Series 2119V diaphragm pumps work in class B steam autoclaves. The pumps, which provide up to 27 inches Hg vacuum and have a maximum flow rate of 0.81 CFM, offer resistance to steam and water because their umbrella valves and diaphragms are constructed of EPDM. Also, the pumps provide durability from their engineered resin and die-cast aluminum construction. Rietschle Thomashttp://rbi.ims.ca/3855-594

MODULAR COMMUNICATION PACKAGE

No circuitry or wiring changes

The company's "FlexSAM" system provides up to 32 inputs and 32 outputs without the wiring of remote operating valve manifolds. The modules utilize DIP switches for node addressing and baud rate setting, eliminating the need for software and reportedly reducing trouble-shooting time. Due to featured NEMA 4 protection, the modules can be mounted directly on a machine with no need for an enclosure. The company offers Input and Output Module Kits, and Connector Module Kits for single and dual Sub-D 25-pin, circular 19-pin, or M23 connectors. Parker Hannifinhttp://rbi.ims.ca/3855-595

SANITARY FLOW METER

RODLESS CYLINDER

Three bore sizes available

Designed to prevent monetary losses due to contamination in the production process, this rodless cylinder offers the only IPA-certified design for cleanroom specification avaliable on today's market. It is available in three sizes: 16, 25, and 32mm. Hoerbiger-Origahttp://rbi.ims.ca/3855-597

CONVERTIBLE WATER JET PUMP

Six available pressures

This pump combines the power of 350 or 425 hp with the flexibility of changing pressures. Designed for long life and fast conversions, the pump features a slow-running triplex plunger pump, hard-coated valves and plungers, and corrosion-resistant stainless steel. A polychain system and water pressure-actuated throttle control adjust output to operator demand. Because it requires fewer parts to change pressures than other convertible pumps, the product reportedly reduces cost and downtime. The basic kit offers six pressures: 8,000, 10,000, 13,000, 15,000, 17,000, or 20,000 psi. NLB Corp.http://rbi.ims.ca/3855-598

Suitable for water sampling, as well as pumping adhesives, paints, and coatings, chemical slurries, ink and oil scum, the pump's versatility enables customization for any specific plant. The progressing cavity pumps have a lightweight design, feature self-priming, and are said to require little maintenance. They accommodate flow rates to 50 GPM, pressures to 600 psi, and fluid temperatures to 240F. Moyno Inc.http://rbi.ims.ca/3855-599

STAINLESS STEEL BALL VALVES

Air pressure tested

Created with full port construction for application in water, oil, and gas transmission and handling, these valves feature stainless steel balls for precise operation, Teflon seats and seals, and a locking safety handle. The valves undergo air pressure testing under water, and are rated up to 1,000 psi. The 316 SS models are available in sizes ranging from 0.375 to 3 inches. Bee Valve Inc.http://rbi.ims.ca/3855-600

DOUBLE BLOCK-AND-BLEED VALVES

Replace multiple valve installations

The double block-and-bleed valves' design reportedly allows for an easy transition from process to instrumental systems in one compact valve assembly. Each piece contains a primary isolation valve with a variety of secondary block-and-bleed valves. The valves' benefits over traditional systems may include fewer leak points and reduced mass. They are available in sizes ranging from 0.5 to 2 inches, and rated to temperatures from -50 to 400F, with pressure ratings in the 150- to 2,500-lb class. Swagelokhttp://rbi.ims.ca/3855-601

PRESSURE GUAGE

Vacuum version available

The Type 316 stainless steel pressure gauge is available in many single-scale pressure ranges: 0-30 psig, 0-60 psig, 0-160 psig, and 0-200 psig. The instrument, designed to withstand vibration, pulsation, and mechanical shock, is also available in a vacuum version for 30-0 Hg, and a compound scale model is available for the pressure range of 30 Hg-60 psig. The gauge is suitable for many applications including chemical process, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, beverage, pulp, and paper manufacturing. Spirax Sarco Inc.http://rbi.ims.ca/3855-602

DRAIN VALVE

CHECK VALVES

Useful with elevated temperatures

Built with a diaphragm seal to provide a leak-free product even in a non-flowing condition, the Corzan Series CKM Check Valves resist corrosion and work well in elevated temperatures. The diaphragm valves used are not dependent on gravity, mounting position, or reverse flow to function properly. The valves are available with 0.5-, 0.75-, and 1-inch pipeline connections. The valves, made of Corzan^(R) CPVC, can prevent potentially dangerous reverse flow in piping systems Plast-O-Matic Valves Inc.http://rbi.ims.ca/3855-608
