Bitzer introduces the new Orbit Fit scroll compressor for improved efficiency and capacity especially in heat pump applications.

KSB is presenting a new pump monitoring system called KSB Guard. Networked vibration and temperature sensors fitted directly to the pump make availability at plant level transparent for the first time. The system ensures that changes in the operating behaviour of the machine are detected at an early stage, and maintenance work can be better planned, without having to be on site with the pump.

Mouvex is pleased to announce that its Abaque Series peristaltic (hose) pumps are now available with FDA and EC 1935/2004 certified hoses. By incorporating these new hygienic hoses into the design, Abaque Series pumps are now ideally suited for the production of food and beverage products that require strict hygienic standards.

Netzsch announces the new N.Mac Twin Shaft Grinder, designed to protect pumps and processes. The N.Mac is designed to fragment a variety of materials, and is ideal for wastewater treatment, biogas and biomass plants, food, animal processing, and other waste and industrial applications. Available in both channel and inline (flanged) housing construction, the N.Mac can be installed into effluent channels or upstream from a pump.

Siemens is extending its Sinamics frequency converter portfolio for standard applications Sinamics V20 to include a new frame size, the FSAC in the voltage range 1AC (Alternating Current) 200 V to 240 V 1.1 kW to 1.5 kW. FSAC is replacing the previous FSB frame (1AC 200V).

Bitzer presents reciprocating compressors from the CKH2 series, amongst others. These CO₂ compressors are especially suitable for applications in supermarket refrigeration.

KSB is presenting a new maintenance aid for waste water pumps. Sewa Slide is a movable support that makes the task of opening the pump a simple one-person job, allowing measures such as impeller inspection or the removal of fibres and solids. Cranes or lifting equipment are not required.

Rivertrace produces a range of products that meet and exceed the I.M.O. resolutions MEPC 107(49) and MEPC 108 (49) relating to water discharges from ships.

The new Gemü PLC-based multifunctional case is used for operating (independently of plants), programming and initializing the automated devices mounted on the process valves.

Busch Vacuum Pumps and Systems has now launched an entirely new series of liquid ring vacuum pumps. The new Dolphin LM/LT vacuum pumps have been completely redesigned but are based on proven liquid ring vacuum technology. With these new vacuum pumps, Busch has been able to optimize an existing product that has become an established part of many industrial processes, resulting in the development of extremely powerful, yet energy-efficient vacuum generators.
