Conveyor drives and industrial gear units in single-piece housings

Bargteheide – At the 2014 Hannover Fair, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will showcase high-efficiency drive solutions for conveying applications. Compact two-stage helical bevel gear units are combined with energy-saving motors. Based on a comprehensive drive electronics program, NORD can configure drive units for a very wide selection of functional requirements. The frequency inverters for motor-mounting cover performance up to 22 kW. They provide high dynamics and are the only models in their class featuring positioning functionality and optional hoist and safety functions. The inverters that integrate sensor and actuator interfaces will be shown in synchronized operation with other drive models at the tradeshow booth.

CIAT

HEE Version of POWERCIAT2

CIAT's eco-designed POWERCIAT2 water chiller, for cooling capacities ranging from 610 to 1350 kW, is now available in a High Energy Efficiency (HEE) version. Thanks to its latest-generation components, and in particular the integration of a micro-channel coil and CIAT's new high efficiency evaporator, POWERCIAT2 HEE is on average 10% more energy efficient than the standard model. It achieves the highest possible energy rating, Class A, with an average EER of 3.15 and exceptional seasonal efficiency levels, proven by an average ESEER of 4.1. Versatile, POWERCIAT2 HEE is specially designed for the air conditioning of large buildings such as hotels, offices, shopping centres and industrial facilities.

DATAPAQ

10 channel Furnace Tracker for glass tempering

Cambridge, UK – Datapaq extends its Furnace Tracker product range, adding a new ten thermocouple channel model designed specifically for use in low-height furnaces. The data logger stores up to 18,000 readings per channel at intervals from 0.05 seconds to 10 minutes. Ceramic-coated and laser-welded, the 29 mm high thermal barrier ensures a long operational life. The ten and four channel Furnace Tracker systems for glass tempering furnaces accurately measure temperatures from all types of glass, including hard and soft-coated low-E glass. Thus, users can optimize cycle times and reduce energy costs. The accompanying software features comprehensive analysis and archiving functions and enables users to see quickly and easily what is really happening inside the furnace.

RAYTEK

Enhanced CS210 temperature monitoring system for rotary kilns

Berlin – Raytek introduces a new generation of CS210 system for non-contact temperature measurement and monitoring of rotary kiln shells. The modular system now integrates up to four infrared line scanners for monitoring long and difficult-to-access kilns. Additionally, point sensors cover shadow areas, for instance behind tyres. Designed for rotary kilns exclusively, the software compiles all data to a complete thermal image. The upgrade also enables a real-time display of a 3D thermal image of the kiln surface, making refractory monitoring especially user-friendly. Damaged and fallen bricks are quickly located, enabling users to initiate repair and avoid expensive production stops. The system provides a one-brick resolution and sends failsafe hotspot alarms. A Refractory Management database helps determine when best to replace the refractory. All oven-related and operational data, information about the refractory material, and maintenance dates can be easily managed and documented with a user history. A separate sensor monitoring the burning zone can also be integrated and managed via the software. Communication with the control room is typically realized via a fiber-optic cable and Ethernet TCP/IP. Moreover, the control level can access all system-related data via an OPC server.

Driving more ore up the Yangtze: reliable geared motors for bulk handling machinery in transshipment port

China’s Wuhan Iron and Steel Group (WISCO), one of the largest companies in the nation’s steel sector, has built a new transshipment port to better handle growing quantities of imported ore arriving in the East China Sea. The port consists of several berths and yards where 15 million tons of ore per year can be unloaded from huge ocean-going vessels. Various bulk handling machinery installed throughout the port by three different OEMs has one thing in common: in all of these super-size loaders, unloaders, and stacker-reclaimers, a total of over 170 geared motors supplied by German manufacturer NORD DRIVESYSTEMS ensure everything stays reliably in motion.
