products & developments Double safety allows system operation without downtimes

The permanently integrated 90° switch valve between the two sides allows continuous use of the filters: when the first filter element has to be replaced upon reaching the maximum level of contamination – indicated by a visual clogging indicator or an electrical limit switch – the flow can be switched over to the opposite side by manually operating the switching lever without causing system downtime. Filter housings of this size are used in modern clinker cooling systems in cement production, for example. Hydraulic components are usually installed on the outside of the actual cooling system, protected against dust and easily accessible for repair and maintenance purposes. For this type of application, the duplex return-line filters are essential components of a system of redundant motors and pumps that allows continuous operation of the system without expensive downtimes, even if repairs should become necessary.

cycle, they retain solid particles in the return oil flow before these enter the supply tank, providing a significant contribution to ensuring maximum system performance. The use of replacement filter elements from the RE series from Stauff ensures a high level of efficiency for removing solid particles. The high dirt absorption capacity of the elements allows a long service life, reducing maintenance work and costs.

Fluid technology specialist Stauff has added the RFS-D series to its filtration technology product range. The switchable duplex return-line filters in a special heavy-duty version are suitable for nominal flow rates of up to 1,135 litres per minute and a maximum operating pressure of up to 25 bar. The housings were designed as tank- top or in-line filters using threaded or flanged connections on inlet and outlet. As the last link in the hydraulic

The Klo-Shure Titan insulated riser clamp series is made to fit vertical pipe runs and create a clean vapour barrier after insulation is installed. Titan risers are moulded with high- strength plastic with a crush-resistant design and a vertical load rating range of 1,000 to 2,000 lb. The clamps are claimed to offer three times faster installation with an improved finished appearance. Both products are made in the USA at Hydra-Zorb’s new 52,000 ft 2 plant in Auburn Hills, Michigan, which was built specifically with these products in mind. The company’s two primary products – Hydra-Zorb cushion clamps and

Klo-Shure insulation couplings – are simple but important components in projects ranging from small power units for hydraulics to couplings used for HVAC/R lines in construction. “We’ve purposely stayed focused on our core products,” said Hydra-Zorb presi- dent Robert Dodge. “The new Bronco and Titan lines complement what we do and were developed in direct response to our customers’ most frequently requested needs.”

Hydra-Zorb Co, a manufacturer of products for clamping pipe or tube in the hydraulic, pneumatic and HVAC/R industries, has launched the Bronco tube and pipe saddle, and the Titan riser clamp. The products were unveiled at the AHR Show (Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating) in Las Vegas, USA. The Bronco tube and pipe saddle uses high-strength plastic that can snap into channels of any depth, offering stability and preventing damage to the insulation from pipe movement. The product is available in several sizes, in either black or white to match the insulation colour.
