PORTABLE DERAILS FOR WOOD OR CONCRETE TRACK TIES Sales agreement no.40069151
Aldon Company has introduced SaberTooth brand portable derails for wood or concrete track ties. A series of seven, ½ in. tall steps or notches allow derail to fit a variety of rail sizes without any adjustment. The notches make contact with the edge of a tie plate (wooden ties) or the edge of a concrete tie, or the rail anchor clip on concrete ties. The tie brace terminates in a stout, sharp pointed safety hook. The derails offer tool-free installation with finger-tight pressure on four stainless steel thumb screws that secure the derail to rail. Watch video demonstrations at www.cpec.news/asw.

ONLINE MOISTURE SENSOR SUITABLE FOR FOOD APPLICATIONS MoistTech moisture sensors provide a quick test of the moisture levels of the manufacturer’s raw ingredients, such as the materials used throughout the food and baking process for quality control. Its NIR IR33000F online moisture sensor for food applications sense moisture content throughout the process to provide cost savings in energy and fuel costs, as well as having less product waste. The sensor can also provide spot tests near lines or in quality control labs. On moisture analysis involving dried products, accuracy can be expected to be 0.1%. On higher moisture applications, accuracy can be expected to be 0.2 and 0.5%. Fat/oil measurement and protein accuracy are subject to application. Watch video at www.cpec.news/y61.

The Kobold LNM microwave level switch is used for detecting levels of fill. The microwave field penetrates several millimetres into the medium. Foam, condensate or remains of the transported medium that have stuck on to the tank are not detected. By using this principle of measurement, it is also possible to detect non-conductive media. The level switch is particularly suitable for use with foaming media because the foam itself is not detected. The output of the level switch only switches when the coupling section is completely covered by the medium. This means it is possible to install it into tanks regardless of position. In combination with the KOBOLD LZE or LZE-R weld-in sleeves, the probe provides a measuring point that has no dead space and meets hygiene standards, suitable for CIP/SIP cleaning.
