These small vacuum pumps incorporate a diamond-like carbide coating on all internal parts for optimum corrosion resistance and come in six models with capacities from 2.5 CFM for the model ED4 and up to 18 CFM for the model ED30.
5. INDUSTRIAL CONTROL RELAYS
WAGO Corporation’s 2585 series relays are designed to deliver essential switching functions with outstanding efficiency and versatility for general industrial control applications. The 2585 series features both sockets and elementary relays, available individually or as preassembled kits. With nominal input voltages ranging from 12 VDC to 230 VAC and options for two or four changeover contacts, these relays are engineered to meet a wide variety of application needs.
6. HUMIDITY SENSORS
The ProSense HUM series of humidity sensors from AutomationDirect provides reliable temperature and relative humidity (RH) measurements for HVAC, cleanroom and general industrial applications. These sensors offer versatile mounting options and wide measurement ranges (-4 to 140 F, 0 to 99.9% RH), with select models providing a seven-segment display for quick, at-a-glance monitoring. Duct mount sensors include probes that mount directly in air ducts for HVAC and ventilation. Wall/duct models allow flexible installation, with probes that can be mounted through a duct or suspended freely from a wall. Compact wall-mount room sensors are easy to install and provide ambient temperature and RH measurement.
7. DIGITAL TWIN SOFTWARE
The Digital Twin Composer from Siemens is a software solution that enables industrial companies to combine 2D and 3D digital twin data from a comprehensive digital twin with physical real-time information in a managed, secure, real-time, photorealistic visual scene built using NVIDIA Omniverse libraries. Users can rapidly build and maintain this global environment, containing all aspects of their product or production data (both virtual and physical) in a secure and managed high-fidelity 3D experience throughout the life cycle of the product, process or facility. Digital Twin Composer provides contextualized, real-time insights and intelligence, enabling users to visualize, interact with and iterate on any product, process or factory in its real-world context before physical design or construction.
8. NONCLOG SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS
ShinMaywa (America), Ltd.’s CNWX series of heavy-duty, nonclog submersible pumps are ideal for industrial and municipal wastewater markets. These pumps feature a single-vane, nonclog impeller design that incorporates a helix-formed passage at the inlet, which is connected to the single-vane nonclog passage. This design virtually eliminates clogging, plugging and entangling of fibrous materials, resulting in a reduction of maintenance costs and electrical power consumption.
9. TANK-CLEANING NOZZLE
BETE’s HydroWhirl Poseidon cleans effectively in tanks containing harsh chemicals or stubborn substances. This slow-spinning tank cleaning nozzle provides complete 360-degree coverage with longer dwell time on target surfaces. It is ideal for use in corrosive chemical environments, chemical processing tanks, food and beverage processes, IBC totes and more. Crafted from PFTE, the HydroWhirl is 100% corrosion-resistant and offers the lowest friction coefficient of any material, enabling faster cleaning with less water compared to static spray options. The material construction is also FDA-compliant and is suitable for use in clean-in-place and food-safe applications.
10. SOLIDS-HANDLING PUMPS
Pentair’s Fairbanks Nijhuis XRW series solids-handling pumps have been engineered to help reduce clogging and maintain peak hydraulic performance. The high-efficiency design reduces capacity drift while ensuring smooth operation and minimizing vibration. Features include permanently lubricated bearings in a compact bracket for easier handling, a double mechanical seal for increased durability and adjustable durable wear rings. Fairbanks Nijhuis XRW series pumps are also compatible with IEC B5 motors as a standard option, offering flexibility in motor brand selection.
11. SUBMERSIBLE WELL PUMPS
Franklin Electric’s FS series submersible well pump features floating stage hydraulics that improve efficiency and minimize wear even when pumping abrasives. Intended for potable drinking water applications where a submersible pump provides the best output, the FS series line is designed to enhance performance with minimal internal leakage or restriction. Each FS series submersible well pump floating stage design also reduces the vertical downthrust applied on the submersible motor and increases the overall performance of the water system. Available in various performance ranges: 5, 8, 10, 12, 16, 22 or 26 gpm with horsepower ranges from 1/2 to 5.
12. PORTABLE BYPASS PUMP SYSTEMS
