Q.E.D. Environmental Systems, Inc. highlights its AutoPump Ultra 4+ Aggressive Fluid Duty landfill liquid pump that features upgraded materials that extends the pump’s service life and expands its use cases to a wider set of conditions.

Filling nail gel is one of the more complex applications due to the viscosity of the material. Nail gel is a chemically aggressive, UV-reactive modeling material that only hardens with the aid of UV light. With the vipura-PUMP 10T, ViscoTec has now developed a dosing technology that does equal justice to the high viscosity and the enormously stringy behavior of nail gels.

Quick Fitting announces the expansion of its industry-leading stainless-steel products. The products’ new larger sizes—ranging from 1/2 inch to two inches—make them suitable for a variety of commercial capabilities and industrial applications.

With its new CMS HD series of modular multi-stage vacuum pumps, COVAL offers a robust and powerful solution for applications requiring a high suction flow rate for the vacuum handling of a wide variety of objects. They are ideally suited to performing pick-up and transfer operations in applications such as the handling of porous parts or emptying large volume tanks.

Non-evaporable getter (NEG) pumps have a whole range of functional and ergonomic advantages for applications that require cost-effective and reliable ultra-high vacuum conditions.

NETZSCH Pumps & Systems has given the proven TORNADO T1 rotary lobe pump a facelift to increase customers’ added value further. This promises to reduce repair times by more than 40 percent and significantly improve energy efficiency. Existing systems can also be upgraded.

There are always applications across industries that require both positive and negative pressure. In such cases, it was previously necessary to resort to two multiple connection plates. As a solution, SMC has therefore combined two proven products with the 5/2-way solenoid valves of the JSY series and the vacuum generators of the ZK2-A series as a new series “JSY and ZK2-A” on a single manifold base.

Parker Hannifin is releasing the new Parker Motion Controller range for the global industrial automation market. Intelligent, multi-axis Parker Motion Controllers combine machine logic, real-time motion control, advanced safety features and visualisation in a completely scalable solution.

ether in the process industry, machine building or automation, the new model HPBV ball valve from WIKA, for high-pressure applications up to 20,000 psi (1,379 bar), is designed for a wide variety of applications.

Vacuum technology offers many advantages for a wide variety of industrial applications. Process reliability plays an important role here: it depends on whether vacuum generation and
-maintenance can be guaranteed.
