SPOTLIGHT MEASURE MONITOR CONTROL says monitoring vacuum demand and the level of vacuum achieved is key to efficient and reliable operation in vacuum handling systems but until now it has been difficult to do. The company says its S418-V combines an accurate thermal mass flow sensor designed solely for vacuum flow measurement with an absolute pressure sensor, LED display and datalogger for continuous standalone or remote monitoring through 4-20mA, Modbus/RTU or M-Bus. Currently available in 4 sizes up to DN25, the S418-V can help to identify leakage losses through change in pressure and flow before vacuum failure occurs, to guide preventative maintenance. w | www.measuremonitorcontrol.com/measurement/flow/thermal-mass/ s418-v-inline-vacuum-flow-sensor t | 01443 772500 MEASURE VACUUM FLOW RATES GENAIR is a company that rents air compressors and desiccant dryers to industry throughout the UK and beyond.

Both are specially developed for food applications that experience high pressures and temperatures. The company says the unique combination of high-performance elastomers (EPDM or Fluoroprene XP) and premium PTFE materials (Quantum) also makes the seals resistant to a wide range of aggressive media. Based on the proven Forseal from Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, the new hygienic version features a design that has been adapted to the extreme conditions and requirements of the food industry. While the classic version of the Forseal uses a steel spring to ensure contact pressure, the hygienic solution uses an elastomer ring. In addition, the Hygienic Forseal offers a flat surface to the product medium and has no undercuts whatsoever in terms of hygiene. The assembly is possible in an undivided installation space. The high-performance, low-wear Quantum PTFE used also has the usual industry-specific approvals for food and beverage applications, in contrast to the standard material of the proven Forseal. Double seals, anti-rotation devices and many other customised adaptations are possible. t: 01332 524422 www | fst-food-beverage@dichtomatik.co.ukhttps: //foodandbeverage.fst.com/en/products/ innovations/#HygienicPortfolio https://foodandbeverage.fst.com/en www | fst.com COMPRESSED AIR ABAC UK www.abacaircompressors.com FLUID POWER PRIMARY FLUID POWER LIMITED www.primaryfp.co.uk AIRLINE ACCESSORIES INDEQUIP www.indequip.co.uk AIRLINE ACCESSORIES WORTHINGTON CREYSSENSAC www.worthington-creysannac.com FILTERS HY-PRO FILTRATION www.hyprofiltration.com LUBRICANTS BTLS – HAYLEY GROUP www.lubricantsupplies.co.uk H&P WEB LOCATOR www.hpmag.co.uk
