A new aggregate and yield adjustment probe uses SONO/Sonar technology to determine the total moisture content of the material flowing across the ceramic face. It measures both free and absorbed moisture value. A separate module or a customers’ batch control system will then use this value to adjust the yield to account for the moisture present and dose the “dry weight” of the material being measured. This ensures accurate yields and consistent concrete.

Software and screens on the BatchTron control systems have been updated. Scale-Tron notes that better graphics capability in the latest touch screens give an improvement in look and feel, making operation more intuitive and reducing training time. Internal software has been upgraded with many new features that improve accuracy and quickly diagnose problems with plant machinery.

A new two-vane collapsible paddle is insertable from the outside of a bin or silo through a 1 1/4-in. NPT or 1 1/2-in. BSPT coupling. This stainless steel paddle assembly can be used with company’s SafePoint fail-safe and Model KA/KAX rotary paddle level switches.

The Perfect Form & Concrete Sprayer and the Ideal Form & Concrete Sprayer were designed to solve common spray application challenges with convenience features contractors have been waiting for. The Perfect Sprayer has a 3-gal. stainless steel tank and a large capacity, easy-to-clean, 100-mesh filter in the trigger valve that eliminates clogging. It can be pressurized with a hand pump or an air compressor up to 90 psi for improved spraying of high-viscosity, low-VOC products. It has an 8-ft. coiled hose to reach any surface, brass-to-brass connections, a wide base that won’t fall over and a parts kit to safely store spare tips.

In response to a growing need for efficient and cost-effective lifting solutions, Shuttlelift has launched a new series of double-beam models. According to Director of Industrial Sales Kurt Minten, the new DB Series was designed for plant managers searching for more cost-effective ways to run their operations. “Plant managers have a lot of factors to consider when purchasing new equipment. They want something that is easy to maintain and offers versatility in their lifting environment.”

The OSA4 CoolCheck is an analytical instrument that performs on-site tests on engine coolant. It determines the coolant formulation (conventional or long-life), as well as identifies problems within the cooling system. Furthermore, the CoolCheck uses an Embedded XP Panel PC that is coupled with a dual path multi-wave spectrometer. This technology executes nine diagnostic tests in less than one a minute, and prints an easy-to-understand diagnostic report.

To help dust collector operators reduce operating costs, improve the process and meet EPA or OSHA compliance simultaneously, B-PAC series of Baghouse Performance Analyzers and Controllers provide a combination of features.

The SmartBob-TS1 continuous level sensor with a sealed electronics compartment meets the challenges of dusty environments. The product is designed to prevent the ingression of dust into the electronics cavity of the sensor to protect critical components and enhance durability. It suits applications where the sensor measures powders or granular materials and high levels of dust are present, especially after the filling operation.

The SBE751 1/2-in. hammer drill can be used on a number of construction materials such as concrete, metal, wood, brick and tile. It weighs 7 lbs. and features a 750-watt motor, whose “LongLife” design withstands abuse from dust and overload conditions. The SBE751’s ergonomic design, including a rubberized handle, locking side hand and compact construction, creates a balanced machine for improved safety, comfort and performance.
