0611mplace2Tank-Bulkhead Gasket Fittings

Hayward Flow Control’s CCP Series Tank-Tite Compression Fittings provide a constant load on the gasket of a bulkhead fitting to overcome and compensate for tank-wall expansion/contraction due to temperature and pressure changes.  They also impart a constant load on the bulkhead fitting nut that reduces the possibility of its loosening from system vibration. Rated to 150 psi Non-Shock at 70 F, these PVC components work with all Hayward BFA Series Bulkhead Fittings.

0611mplace5Protect Bearings From Stray VFD Shaft Currents

Inpro/Seal’s second-generation Current Diverter Ring™ (CDR®) uses proprietary conductive filaments to protect bearings from stray variable-frequency-drive (VFD) shaft currents. It provides a low-impedance path to ground, safely drawing currents away from the bearings and preventing premature bearing failure. A new single-piece design has resulted in a more durable product, delivering long-lasting protection for motor and coupled-equipment bearings alike.

Collaboration System Connects Experts To Plant And Field

Librestream says its mobile Onsight system moves video collaboration from traditional boardroom applications out to the plant floor, the field and supplier sites. It connects experts to remote locations in real-time, with multiple layers of security to protect content. The system has three main components: a Librestream wireless Onsight device; Onsight Expert desktop collaboration software; and Onsight Management Suite software. Plant/field personnel deploy their Onsight mobile device to share video, voice-communications, telestration (i.e., onscreen drawing) and images with experts who interact live through the collaboration software. Internet-based experts can also share images or pre-recorded videos to play on the device’s touch-screen panel. Because it connects with wireless, satellite and cellular networks, the system can be used virtually anywhere.
