igus is adding 14 new dimensions to its range of knife-edge rollers, increasing conveyor design and planning flexibility. Plastic knife-edge rollers are used wherever smooth, lubricant-free transfer of transported goods is desired onto downstream conveyors. Because of their compact design and relatively tight radii, they are commonly found in food production machines, bottling lines and packaging systems as well as in point-of-sale units in supermarkets.

Where flammable and explosive atmospheres exist, specialised electrical sensors must be deployed. The new Gems Sensors & Controls ELS-1150XP Series electro-optic liquid level sensors are designed and approved for these types of hazardous environments. At just 2 inches in length, these compact sensors are suitable for monitoring the small, pressurised vessels found in oil, gas and petrochemical environments. They accurately monitor level in applications such as: storage tanks, chemical injection equipment, compression tanks, hydraulic oil vessels, glycol tanks, and other well head automation equipment.

Ingersoll Rand is introducing the new Centac C800 centrifugal air compressor for assembly, automotive food and beverage, oil and gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, processing and other industrial manufacturing applications. The Centac C800 is built on the latest generation, integrated and simplified centrifugal compressor platform, and is an extension of the Centac C1000 product line. Certified as ISO 8573-1Class 0, the C800 provides 100 per cent clean, oil-free air, and is designed to minimise downtime, increase efficiency and lower total cost of ownership.
