A Maxam pneumatic control system incorporating rotary actuators and a rodless cylinder features in a system which is set to revolutionise safe contained sampling within the process industry
A Maxam pneumatic control system incorporating rotary actuators and a rodless cylinder is specified for the control of a completely new, innovative and truly universal sampling system (patent pending) which is set to revolutionise safe contained sampling within the process industry Designed, developed and manufactured by RGH Sampling Systems Limited, of Widnes, the new sampling system can be used for all sampling requirements and mediums which include liquids, solids, slurry, sludge, wet or dry cake and fine, course or granular powders (wet or dry)

New series of Schrader pneumatic couplings
Parker Pneumatic has further extended its industry standard Schrader Range of quick acting pneumatic couplers with the introduction of the Euro Series.
The design is chemically and mechanically safe with maximum attention to safe and efficient operator use and meets SHE requirements.
The operating procedure is entirely pneumatic with all stages fully interlocked and integrated for safe and efficient use.
Sampling is fully contained within the product environment and is within a totally enclosed system without the need for removal of blind flanges or hinged closures for sampling purposes.
Each sample is collected in an individual capsule.
The sample capsule is remotely sealed and then retracted into an integral sample cabinet.
The sample capsule (designed to be coupled and uncoupled with one hand) is disconnected from the sample probe, deposited in a suitable receptacle and removed for analysis.
The sample capsule is opened by a simple manual operation and the sample discharged with the integral plunger A new sample capsule is fitted to the sample mechanism and the sample equipment is ready for use.
There is no requirement for 'clean in place' systems as the sampling probe is self cleaning and the sample capsule, a consumable item, is disposed of after use.
The Maxam rodless cylinder controls the movement of the sample probe going in/out of reaction vessel.
The cylinder also ejects the sample capsule into the sample cabinet for removal by the operator.
The Maxam rotary actuators control the sealing of the sample capsule iris valve during the operating cycle.
The innovative universal RGH sampling system is safe, clean, operator friendly and capable of saving considerable downtime in the preparation for sampling.
Operator protection, the sampling mechanics and subsequent cleaning process and making safe is far superior to other sampling methods currently available. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin ...
