Eriez To Present Latest Equipment At Bauma

Eriez Magnetics is exhibiting its latest technology for metal removal, detection and sampling at Bauma, to be held in Munich, Germany, between 19-25 April 2010. The company will be demonstrating its products both inside and outside - on stand 435 in yard C1-C2 and on stand 418A in hall C2. On the outdoor Eriez stand there will be two model CP suspended magnets and one model TP suspended magnet. CP magnets are able to pick up general tramp iron, while TP magnets are more specialised for the removal of long, thin, sharp metals such as nails.

All the models in the Permanent Suspended Magnet range are said to be robust, require minimal maintenance and simple to install and operate. Eriez will also be showcasing its automated sampling equipment. A Cross Belt sampler will feature on the outside stand, which is designed for operation on all types of granular material and obtains a representative sample direct from a moving-trough belt conveyor. It requires minimal installation work and minimum maintenance. Automatic online sampling makes sure that the quality of the goods sold or bought meets the stated specification.

Eriez also designs and manufactures metal detectors to detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Installing an Eriez metal detector on a conveyor belt system will protect downstream machinery from damage caused by tramp iron on the conveyor. The company said they are easy to install and operate and they typically consist of a control unit, search coil and connecting cable. Each coil is custom designed to optimise the sensitivity of the metal detector to meet the individual customer needs. Eriez will also display an operational Metalarm 3000 metal detector on its inside stand.

It will be mounted on a conveyor belt and will demonstrate what Eriez metal detectors are capable of. To accompany the metal detector there will be various metal detector accessories including the recently launched Inkjet Marker MK-II and Spymet. The Inkjet Marker sprays ink onto a product stream to mark the location of pieces of detected metal contamination on a conveyor belt while the Spymet can indicate the number of metal contaminates within a specific zone. Both of these accessories, used either individually or part of a system, provide a solution to track and locate tramp metal on a conveyor belt leading to minimal loss of production time and improved plant efficiency.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
