Deviation Management System Controls Quality

Mettler Toledo develops methods and solutions for controlling product quality and eliminating uncontrolled deviations in production processes. All production industries need to define the quality of their products and control their production processes accordingly. Uncontrolled deviations in the production process have a negative effect on the quality of the product. Compliance with specifications, legislation and regulations is mandatory.

Failure to observe this can lead to official warnings, complaints from customers or, in the worst case, even detriment to the health of consumers. Whatever the circumstances, this invariably leads to significant additional costs for the producers and potentially also perceptible damage to their reputation. A practical and easy-to-use 'deviation management system' can help stabilise production processes and bring considerable cost savings. Mettler Toledo has been developing and marketing comprehensive system solutions to meet these requirements for years.

Alongside observing legal and regulatory requirements, achieving optimum price-performance takes top priority for a production company. This can be kept under control, provided the resources and equipment on hand work consistently and as desired. However, both technical systems and the people that operate them can change their behaviour over time or based on their situation. Operator actions can be laid down in instructions or standard operating procedures to ensure that the desired consistency is met. However, machines and production systems are subject to constant change.

This also applies to the materials being processed, which, despite commitments on the part of the suppliers, are themselves subject to deviations in terms of quality, composition and consistency. Despite comprehensive quality control and strictly governed specifications, certain aspects can still fail to be given proper consideration and then develop into a costly problem.

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.
