Kersting GmbH in Brilon, Germany, specialist in manual and installed samplers, offers a new range of installed powder samplers. The new series called SiloTasty and InlineTasty satisfies the increasing request for a low cost sampling system suitable for a wide range of applications.
The new device is manufactured from food grade materials, such as stainless steel 316 and Teflon polymers. The Tasty can be used for all free flowing powders and granules up to a particle size of 8 to 10 mm.
For an easy installation all connections are based on the Triclamp connection system. A special weld flange is supplied with each sampler, so that the customer can install the sampler himself.
The Kersting Tasty line can be installed on silo conusses, gravity chutes, down pipes as well as on pneumatic convey lines. Sampling takes place when the hand lever is engaged.
The device is easily dismountable thanks to the Triclamp connectors. This way both maintenance and cleaning can be realized in short time and without tools.
There are various options regarding sample collection, for example bag holder, endless liner system or customized bottle connector. An optional ball valve ensures reproducible samples of equal quantities (0.4 L).
The InlineTasty for pneumatic convey line applications is tested for pressures up to 5 barg. Further information on www.kersting-ind.de
Electrostatic charges: Hidden potential danger for chemical plants
The driver of a truck is supplying raw material to a chemical plant. The loading station is equipped with simple grounding clamps which the driver fixes conscientiously at his vehicle. Unfortunately, he chooses a plastic part of the chassis of his trailer. The vehicle therefore is completely non-grounded and while connecting the hoses, a spark is generated.
This would not have happened with the FaradoŽ Ground Monitoring System. It displays to the user if the clamp is not correctly connected to a conductive part, or if the contact to a conductive part is not sufficient. By means of the integrated switching outputs it is also possible to stop filling or emptying operation by closing valves or pumps if the clamp falls down or the contact is not existing anymore. To avaid any manipulation, e.g. the user only connects the clamp to a metal stair, the unit measures the capacity and only releases the operation, if the measured value corresponds to the settings. It recognizes whether the clamp is really connected to a silo truck. For special situations the release can be forced with a transponder key.
The new FaradoŽ Ground Monitoring System is available with a self retracting cable reel or with a straight cable. You can receive detailed information from the manufacturer.
