Valveless chlorination system
05 October, 2008 | Supplied by: STAUFF Corporation Pty Ltd
Accurately metering liquid sodium hypochlorite presents a unique challenge because of the fluid’s tendency to out-gas. Many conditions, including elevated temperatures, exposure to UV radiation and cavitation, and contact with metallic and organic impurities, tend to increase sodium hypochlorite out-gassing.

Why is inlet air filtration so important?
08 September, 2008
Inlet air filters are supposed to be changed when they get dirty, and begin to restrict the air flow to the compressor. The obvious benefit is preventing contaminates from accelerating wear rates inside the compressor. The less obvious benefit is preventing a dirty inlet filter from causing elevated temperatures that risk major damage. This article includes case studies that highlight why air inlet filtration is so important.
Miniature solenoid valves
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Festo Pty Ltd
The VOVG compact solenoid valve series includes valves suitable for compact handling applications that require high packing density, as well as applications in the electronics and light assembly industries. It is also suitable as a pilot valve in process automation for media-contact valves and drives.
Rotary indexing table
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Festo Pty Ltd
The DHTG Pneumatic Rotary Indexing Table features high load capacities and precision. The table was designed for use with semi-automatic machines and work-piece buffers that require small rotary tables for their swivelling and separator functions.
Shock absorbers
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: SMC Australia | New Zealand
Absorbing the energy produced by moving masses, especially at slow speeds, has long been an issue for machine designers. A shock absorber with a design that absorbs energy at slow speeds has been developed by SMC.
Stopper cylinder
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Festo Pty Ltd
The DFST stopper cylinder has a load range almost three times higher than Festo’s previous model.
Pressure regulators
05 September, 2008 | Supplied by: Festo Pty Ltd
The MPa regulators provide a fast and convenient space-saving solution for pressure control on pneumatic actuators. Designed to be installed between the valve and the sub-base on the Festo MPa valve terminal, they feature highly compact adjustment knobs and may also be equipped with repositionable pressure gauges for easy confirmation of the correct operating pressure.
