A new, four-color brochure from Neles Controls shows how Valve Manager software can help users manage control valves for optimum performance and lower total cost of ownership. This software serves as a graphical interface to Neles Controls’ advanced, microprocessor-based ND800 valve controller. The software allows users to configure and linearize control valves online, monitor their performance, and perform remote diagnostics. Neles Controls

The MTI model from Tobias Associates measures mottle on printed or unprinted stock in less than two minutes and produces a mottle index value as well as a bar graph showing density variation to +/-0.001 density units. The internal computer mathematically analyzes the data to separate the mottle information from artifacts and variations caused by the printing process. Objective measurement of the mottle index reduces the need for time consuming jury rankings. Tobias Associates, Inc.

The SE-34 Lazerwide Sensor by Fife Corp. is the first laser-based sensor for web operations. The sensor has no moving parts and replaces moving sensor center guide assemblies. It can operate on web widths from 1/16 in. to 200 in. A continuous proportional band up to 73 in. wide allows flexibility in guiding variable web widths automatically, without the need of manual readjustments of the sensor. It can be used to guide running webs from the center or either edge. Fife Corp.Continuous sheeting system

The FSB 100 steam joint with stationary siphon is suitable for speeds up to 3,000 fpm with a steam pressure of 60 psi. Many of the older, open-gear machines may now be upgraded to stationary siphons that offer the benefits of reduced differential pressure requirements and reduced blow-through. Also, the F Series steam joint with stationary siphon allows mills to increase production on dryer-limited machines while reducing downtime and maintenance. Deublin

The original Ram Type Drain Valve from Strahman Valves features a fully retractable piston that allows for free flow when opened. It extends into the vessel when closed to prevent clogging by dislodging accumulated sludge. The valve is equipped with stationary sealing rings to prevent leaking and automatically clean the piston. It also features a cast body and is available in hand, hydraulic, air, or air-motor operated models. Strahman Valves Inc.
