Voracious, No-Nonsense Chopper Pumps

Landia, a company that describes itself as having “devoured prison uniforms, animals and lift-station debris for over 55 years,” has rolled out a new Gator Series of customizable chopper pumps. Included in the series is the portable EradiGator that features a mixing nozzle and is available with motors ranging from 3.6 to 30.2 hp. According to the company, the EradiGator keeps on working because of its specially designed external chopping blades and guide traces within the pump casing. Unlike other pumps, which can cause downtime for cleaning and maintenance, dry matter particles are prevented from getting caught in this pump.

Circuit-Breaker Handle For Harsh Conditions

New door-mounted operating handles for Eaton Series G circuit breakers improve reliability in dusty, corrosive or wet environments, according to the company. Their clean, functional design makes these handles easy to install and operate. Offered in three shaft lengths, two color schemes and type 1/12/3R or Type 4/4X ratings, the handle mechanism is designed to fit a variety of applications and enclosure configurations. The robust units feature a metal-on-metal defeater between the handle and shaft, which is designed to prevent contaminant build-up that could impede operation. Ultraviolet (UV) and chemical-agent resistant materials protect the handles from heat and fading in direct sunlight and from contaminants in harsh environments.

A Threadlocker That Lubricates & Seals

Loctite 2047^TM is a dual-function threadlocker that works both as a lubricant to reduce friction and achieve proper clamp load during fastener assembly, and as an adhesive/sealant that eliminates loosening, maintains clamp load and prevents corrosion. This slow-cure product achieves fixture strength after 90 min. and full cure after 24 hr. On fastener assemblies where torque greater than 500 ft./lbs. generates considerable heat, the slow-cure profile prevents premature threadlocker cure, ensures reliable clamp load, prevents failure and simplifies disassembly. When used with pneumatic impact tools, it lubricates during the torque process.

Compact Industrial Videoscopes

The new IPLEX LX and IPLEX LT industrial videoscopes from Olympus are designed for a wide range of remote visual inspections of parts or structures where space is particularly tight. The most compact and lightweight of the company’s IPLEX systems, they feature an LCD monitor built into a main operating unit that is just 2.5″ wide, excluding handle. Their size and weight makes these new IPLEX units ideal for applications where operator access is limited, such as inside boiler rooms, airplane fuselages or wind-turbine gear boxes.
