The ID-2 cylinder and rotor from Thermo Black Clawson improves efficiency along the full length of the screen plate surface from top to bottom. This active screening along the entire cylinder permits use of smaller slots while improving capacity, consistency, and long fiber passage. This provides bottom line results with more high quality fiber and less contaminants going to the paper machine.Thermo Black Clawson

Graphite Metallizing Corp.'s new brochure describes the capabilities of Graphalloy bearing applications for use in papermaking. Graphalloy (graphite/metal alloy) is not affected by caustics, does not deform under load, and maintains dimensional stability. It survives loss of suction, simplifies maintenance, increases equipment life, operates at high temperatures, requires no lubrication, and reduces vibration. Graphite Metallizing Corp.

ABB Automation has opened the first of three global factory certified centers of excellence for industrial repair services. Products repaired at the new Columbus, Ohio, facility include drives, motors, analyzers, metering equipment, control and information systems, and field devices for sensing, controlling, and actuating. The new centers will be located in North America, Europe, and Asia. ABB Automation

Engelhard Corp. introduces Mirana CO pigment, the first of a new generation of engineered kaolin-based products. Mirana CO pigment provides excellent hiding, brightness, opacity, sheet and print gloss, whiteness, and blue-white shade. Its slurries also flow well, so it can improve runnability on high-speed coaters. Engelhard Corp.

KFS is offering a unique suite of kiln burners to meet each individual process. Each burner is designed specifically to meet the exact requirements of the kiln process. Typical applications for KFS combustion systems include rotary kiln processes and lime sludge. Kiln Flame Systems

Edge areas of the sheet have always been a problem for papermakers. Walzen Irle has developed a system where the insulation can be adjusted without disassembling of the roll. One turn and the necessary adjustments have been made, keeping the paper profile in shape and providing a more flexible and safer use of the calender. Walzen Irle

John Crane's Type 28ST non-contacting seal eliminates the constant problems typically experienced with steam turbine drivers: loss of valuable steam energy, leakage caused by corrosion and rust, and shaft damage. The patented, non-contacting design reduces steam leakage to less than 5%, compared to traditional sealing devices such as segmented carbon rings and labyrinths. John Crane

The Oil Security System from Trico is a monitoring system designed to detect the degradation of oil. The unit measures the current viscosity and compares it to the ISO performance specifications of the oil.

The early detection of lubricant degradation will help to extend equipment life, eliminate unnecessary oil changes, and reduce oil disposal costs. Trico

Spencer Johnston's new spreader roll sensor is designed to reduce unscheduled downtime by increasing failure predictability. The sensors have the ability to measure vibration, gauge the temperature, and provide the means to establish a baseline of information for each roll. The sensor can be added to any spreader roll. Spencer Johnston Co.

Warner Electric's MCS 2000 digital tension control system provides a universal interface for any type of control product used in winding/rewinding, intermediate zone, and unwind applications, including electric and pneumatic brakes and clutches, AC and DC motors, and servo motors. Compared to analog controls, it can significantly reduce changeover time, improving productivity. Warner Electric

Spraying Systems Co.'s new 80-page catalog highlights the company's spray nozzles, showers, and accessories for the pulp and paper industry. The catalog also contains detailed information on the company's new line of spray nozzles and three types of showers, as well as complete specifications for all products-performance data, dimensions and weights, and ordering information.

The IFS 5400 injectible fluid seal from Kem-A-Trix totally eliminates the need for lantern rings and flush water, is easily installed, and eliminates downtime and inventory of seal/packing supplies. Its long life and continued effectiveness is maintained simply by topping up online. The IFS 5400 is self-lubricating, self-cooling, reduces shaft wear and energy costs by up to 50%, and provides near zero leakage. Kem-A-Trix

Sensor Products Inc. introduces Pressurex, a tactile force-indicating sensor. The sensor is useful in assessing compression magnitude between any two impacting surfaces. The sensor comes in the form of a large thin sheet (a film); when placed in between impacting surfaces, the sensor film instantly and permanently changes color. The intensity of the color is proportional to the amount of force being applied. Sensor Products Inc.
