Contract Manufacturing of Filtration and Separation Products

Drawing on its manufacturing expertise, Porvair Filtration Group, a recognized world leader in the development and supply of materials and OEM products for applications in filtration and separation, offers contract manufacture to a host of markets ranging from life sciences to general industrial.

As a leading manufacturer of sintered porous metal and plastics, Porvair offers a variety of core manufacturing competencies that ensure products meet customer requirements. These include fabrication of materials comprising shape cutting using 2D routing, rotary disc cutting or punching and assembly of products by hand, automation, bonding using heat, adhesives and ultrasonic welding. Facilities for low volume technical molding with all engineering plastics (including PEEK) and an over molding capability are also available. Contract metal furnacing, welding and packing of non-food or non-pharmaceutical products together with laboratory facilities and engineering expertise complete the extensive portfolio of capabilities on offer.

With manufacturing facilities in both Europe and North America - Porvair is able to offer three levels of control designed to meet customer’s regulatory requirements: a 250m2 area Class 8 regulated cleanroom facility ideally suited for assembly and packaging of screening devices found in healthcare, life sciences and laboratories; a 1800m2 clean area offering fabrication, assembly and packaging facilities and a 2000m2 area offering vacuum furnacing, assembly and packaging.

Drawing upon over 30 years’ experience of meeting and exceeding customer requirements - Porvair's manufacturing excellence is achieved through stringent regulatory compliance and on-going commitment to continual improvement. Accredited to ISO 9001, Porvair filtration and separation materials and OEM products comply with ISO, USP and other industry-specific regulatory requirements.

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.
