Custom Control Panels

Custom Control Panels for a wide variety of applications are manufactured by Heaters Controls And Sensors. From Custom Control Panels that are needed to operate in 60ºC environments, to laboratory controllers that are to maintain temperatures within +/- 0.01ºC.

These control panels can be made to withstand washdowns with corrosive chemicals with all components on the panel conforming to IP 65 and NEMA 4X. Integration of components for steam booster heaters or recirculation heaters with flow fail safe interlocks are also available. Applications include temperature controls with Hi temperature fail-safe alarms (FM approved) Loop break alarms, Heater break alarms, heater Current Indication and Shorted Output Device (contactor) alarms or annunciation.

Melt Pressure Gauges

Melt Pressure Gauges from Cyronix are totally mechanical devices. They offer ease of installation and maintenance. In addition these gauges are ideally suited to processors who require only visual indication of melt pressure. Gauges are available in two unique styles. The CTG style features a 6" rigid stem and 30" of flex capillary. The RTG style has only a 6" rigid stem. Other configurations of these two styles are also available.

In addition Cyronix also offers these same mechanical gauges with 3.3 mV/Volt transducer output, or either 4-20mA or 0 - 10 Vdc transmitter outputs. These unique gauges feature the standard Bendix style 6 pin bayonet connector and are ideal for processors looking for localized visual indication at the extruder barrel.

Vortex Cabinet Coolers

Vortex Cabinet Coolers are an affordable, low maintenance, and easy to install alternative for thermal management of electrical cabinets and control panels. Using filtered compressed air and vortex tube technology, Vortex Coolers provide cooling capacities to 5000 BTUH and maintain NEMA 4, 4X and 12 ratings.

Today's small and compact, multi-function electronic controls, variable speed drives, servos and programmable logic controllers are extremely sensitive to heat and contamination. Excessive heat causes components to "cook", digital displays to misread, controls to drift, and breakers to trip below their rated loads. The result is often lost productivity from machine or line shutdowns.

Plastic Ball Check and Foot Valves from Chemline Plastics

The economical and versatile Chemline Ball Check Valve is the most popular type of non-return valves for pipe sizes under 6". A wide selection of body and seat materials, and end connections are available for many different applications. It has good flow capacity and will handle many slurry and suspended solid services. This valve works in both horizontal and vertical lines. The Foot Valve is for end of line services such as sumps.
  • Slip-out Union Ends
  • Easy Disassembly
  • Full Port to 4" Size

Microprocessor Control

This sophisticated microprocessor control combines multiple inputs/output with a “teach function”. The teach function offers the user the ability to teach the control various parameters or set points. These parameters or set points can be saved in memory. LED indicators provide visual confirmation for power and fault condition and outputs.

PURPOSE: To control multiple solenoid valves by teaching the control the voltage characteristics of each solenoids being controlled.

Dual Indoor Alarm Model AL102-2-2R: High & Low Level

The Model AL102-2-2R is an indoor alarm that must be mounted in a non-hazardous area. It accepts two switch contact inputs. The high and low level alarm inputs are from a float switch. A green LED indicates that the power is on. An audible alarm signal occurs when either external contact is closed. A red LED provides the visual alarm indication for each input contact. Each input contact has a corresponding toggle switch that is turned off to mute the buzzer. The red light remains on until the alarm condition is corrected. The toggle switch must be switched back on in order for the buzzer to sound the next alarm for that input. A relay contact output is available for each input contact.

Compensated Mass Flowmeter

The MASS TRIBAR measures pressure, temperature and Differential Pressure directly from the inserted TORBAR primary element and computes compensated mass flow within the integral multivariable transmitter.

The MASS TRIBAR is ideal for the mass flow measurement of liquids and gases. It is also suitable for measurement of saturated steam flow with the transmitter mounted vertically below the pipeline axis.
