Smart and Reliable – meet the next generation of GEMÜ rubber lined butterfly valves , R480 Victoria series . Using stateof-the-art robotics and a sophisticated transport system , all butterfly valves are manufactured in-house , giving GEMÜ full control over production processes that are critical to quality . It also allows greater flexibility in delivery times , meaning you can rely on GEMÜ in meeting your project timescales . Compatible with GEMÜ CONEXO , an RFID system for digital information management and maintenance support – GEMÜ R480 valve liners can be integrated with an RFID chip , which can be traced and read using the CONEXO pen RFID reader . The CONEXO app is then installed on mobile devices to provides support for maintenance work and enables electronic recording of the data . This is managed and archived centrally on the CONEXO portal . The interaction between valve components equipped with an RFID chip and corresponding IT infrastructure actively increases process reliability . With this smart integration , GEMÜ is going a step further and is ready for Industry 4.0 .

Introducing ‘ ONE NUT ’ barrel unloading
Flotronic has introduced a new barrel and drum unloading system , combining the unique ‘ ONE NUT ’ pump with their barrel unloading skid . The new system enables you to pump highly viscous materials out of your barrel at significantly increased flow rates . This system is built around our ‘ ONE-NUT ’ sanitary style pump which is based on our 3A and EHEDG design . This style of pump has already proven itself in the hygienic / sanitary industries and is a match for any environment or process where avoidance of product contamination is paramount . The system can be Cleaned in Place using the pump itself or an external CIP rig or , because of the ‘ ONE NUT ’ design of the pump , it can be easily stripped down for cleaning .
“ Using an inflatable seal , the system ensures minimal wastage is achieved and the minimum of product remains in the barrel .” Says Leighton Jones , Sales
Director , Flotronic Pumps . “ As the seal inflates it creates an excellent seal while moving down the barrel and at the end of the process it deflates for easy removal . There is less hold up compared to other systems , which means you can empty challenging viscous fluids from full size drums in a matter of minutes , improving productivity with increased profit potential .” This hygienic hands-free control of the unloading is efficient and reliable using proven technology , with application across the food , beverage and pharmaceutical industries . Flotronic provide bespoke systems to customer requirements and can cater for any fibre , metal or plastic 200 litre / 55 gallon drum or similar . The barrel unloading skid can be fully mobile or fixed in place , with the system designed to suit your needs , including roller systems if required .

Cloud-based Intelligent Asset Management system from Rotork
Rotork ’ s Intelligent Asset Management is a cloud-based system for intelligent actuators and the flow control equipment they operate . The system of advanced analytics improves the reliability and availability of key assets ( such as valves ) for industries that use flow control processes . Failure of key equipment on any plant can result in unplanned downtime , poor performance , reduced output yields and reputational damage .
Intelligent Asset Management uses the information
downloaded from the data logs recorded within intelligent actuators . The robust , safe and secure online platform has a simple user interface that can run on all operating systems . Summary views and colour coded maps simplify complex analytics into easy to understand visuals . The key areas of information that are taken from data loggers and uploaded to the system are torque , temperature , vibration and event log information .
