GF Piping Systems has introduced the successor to the IR-63 Plus infrared welding machine – the IR-63 M. The new machine retains the familiar technology, but integrates new hardware and software features for faster, easier and more efficient welding of various plastic piping systems. The IR-63 infrared welding machines offer the unique ability to weld PVC-U, which offers major advantages over gluing, which until recently was the only possible joining method for PVC-U. Why IR welding of PVC-U is revolutionary IR welding of PVC-U is a technological breakthrough. Adhesive bonding limits the applications of PVC-U, due to the limited chemical resistance of the adhesive, which made the material unsuitable for applications with aggressive media such as concentrated nitric acid. The IR-63 M welding machine uses non-contact infrared radiation to create a completely homogeneous connection, without solvents or risk of contamination, unlike adhesives. These strong joints have a minimal weld bead, which ensures optimum flow in the welding zone. In addition, welding errors are virtually eliminated thanks to the fully controlled welding process. Each weld is documented with a welding protocol, which enables maximum traceability and quality control. The IR-63 M is faster, easier to use and more efficient The IR-63 M welding machine is designed to significantly improve installation processes. Thanks to advanced hardware and software functions, the machine offers numerous advantages. For example, the new machine can save up to 20% on preparation time, partly due to the possibility of adjusting individual milling lengths per side. In addition, the welding process is carried out in 30% fewer steps and the cooling times are up to 50% shorter than with the previous generation of machines. This allows installers to work much faster and reduces the total project costs.

In addition to the requirement that neither flames nor pressure escape from the protective system, flameless venting devices should also be evaluated in terms of their relief effectiveness and weight. Because: Low efficiencies mean that more relief openings and associated protective systems are required. A too heavy weight requires conversions to the container in order to ensure its stability. The Q-Ball® E has been specifically designed for the protection of mechanical conveyors, which usually have long and sleek geometries. Based on the contour-parallel venting (CPV) invented by REMBE®, the innovative design has resulted in a low weight of the Q-Ball® E while also have a higher effectivity. While comparable products from other suppliers weigh between 100-200 kg, the Q-Ball® E is an absolute lightweight with just 25-50 kg. This particularly facilitates the handling during assembly, as well as the requirements for the installation on the systems.

Plant components like silos, mills, filters, collectors, mixers or dryers, in which bulks are processed, conveyed or stored are hazardous areas where fine dust can be found in quantities. Explosion solutions are required when ignition sources cannot be reliably prevented. With use of the Q-Bic™ safety suppression system, the starting explosion is instantly detected by the redundant related detectors and the prompt blowing of dry powder within the endangered area extinguishes the flame. The explosion is extinguished at the point of ignition and cannot be discharged to the outside atmosphere. Q-Bic™ is especially suitable for applications with toxicants, which must not be released in case of explosion.

Isolation is a decisive component of an Explosion Safety concept. No matter how much operators invest into (flameless) relief - if an isolation is missing, an explosion can spread within the system, and continue to propagate from facility section to facility section. In the worst case, the blast wave will overtake the flames, and the explosion will turn into a detonation. If a sensible isolation is part of the system protection strategy, then there's no reason to worry about such horror scenarios any longer. The Q-Flap RX™ explosion isolation flap valve is a joint development between REMBE® and the Swiss company RICO. "A combination of German engineering and Swiss precision", that's how Dr.-Ing. Johannes Lottermann, Director for Explosion Safety at REMBE® describes the new product. The strict requirements of EN 16447 for the maximum safety and reliability are particularly achieved by the very high strength and extremely flexible installation distances - and all of this thanks to the patented swivel carriage principle. The Q-Flap RX™ is available for all common nominal pipe sizes up to DN 1250.

Stay Qool – REMBE Q-Rohr Innovation is a tradition at REMBE. In the area of explosion safety, the invention of flameless venting solutions – the Q-Rohr and Q-Box – is probably the most important in the history of the company. We have continuously developed and improved these products since the 1980s and they are now in use worldwide. The Q-Rohr and Q-Box can be found in a whole range of sectors from the food processing industry to chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The advantages of flameless venting are immediately obvious: the entire production process remains inside the building and there is no need for expensive, bulky venting ducts that require modifications to be made to existing structures. The integrated explosion vent is fitted with a signalling unit that immediately reports any incidents to the process control system. The special stainless steel mesh filter inlet ensures that the pressure rise and increased noise level associated with free vented explosions are massively reduced to negligible levels in the production room. Dust and flames are retained by the mesh filter inlet. The Q-Rohr has a round design. Consequently, it is vacuum resistant and ideal for the protection of pneumatic conveying systems as well as many other applications. The Q-Rohr and Q-Box also compare favourably with active fire extinguishing systems. They generate no running costs, false triggering damages only the bursting disc and the product remains unaffected. No regular maintenance is required, an annual visual inspection is more than adequate. The products are certified by ATEX and also comply with many other currently relevant standards. New: The Q-Rohr can now also be used with metal dusts. Due to their extreme properties in explosive situations (e.g. temperatures can be twice as high as those with most other dusts), metal dusts create special challenges for protection systems. The Q-Rohr is the first system to be certified in accordance with DIN EN 16009.

The Q-Rohr-3 system is the only indoor explosion device that meets the NFPA codes and is approved in accordance with EU regulations (ATEX). It consists of an integrated REMBE bursting disc which vents the explosion wave in a controlled manner within the Q-Rohr-3 assembly. Flame gases with temperatures higher than 500° C (2,732° F) are cooled down to less than 90° C (195° F) via energy transfer within the specially developed stainless steel mesh filter inlet. This reduces the expanding gas volume as it extinguishes the flame. Dust retention is guaranteed by the mesh filter ensuring that no burnt or unburnt dust particles pass through the Q-Rohr-3 assembly. Additionally, the pressure rise and increased noise level associated with free vented explosions are massively reduced to negligible levels. After an explosion event the Q-Rohr-3 is reusable immediately after cleaning and replacement of the REMBE bursting disc assembly

As an extension of the customised flexible connection range, we offer Quick Connect sleeves that are distinguished by their coupling, which may be: Triclamp, Jacob, Steri valve, hygienic screwed pipe connection or permanently welded DIN flanges. The flexible connections are air-tight, dust-tight, leak free, and the small number of corners and edges make the flexible connection hygienic and easier to clean CIP. The replacement or fitting of the flexible connection is easier and faster due to the correct shape and the action of the clamping rings. You can also select tool-release or Bolt-connect clamp rings. This limits the risks, lengthens the life span and simplifies assembly.

R5 PLUS – Proven Rotary Vane Technology for Industry 4.0 The fully connected Busch R5 PLUS series vacuum pump brings the proven Busch rotary vane vacuum technology to the next level. With advanced control and monitoring functionalities, our R5 RA 0840 A PLUS is ready for Industry 4.0. Features + Operating data and the condition of the components are recorded permanently + Data can be accessed directly on the built-in display or transferred via a Modbus TCP/IP client/server protocol + Intuitive menu structure on the large high-definition color display + Remote control of the vacuum pump possible + Large pumping speed range thanks to a variable speed drive Operating Modes Users can choose between constant speed mode or pressure control mode, making the vacuum pump exceptionally energy-efficient. Constant speed mode: For processes with constant vacuum demand, it is recommended to leave the R5 PLUS running at constant speed. Pressure control mode: For processes with changing vacuum demand over time, the pressure control mode is the ideal choice. In this case the R5 PLUS adjusts the rotational speed according to the required vacuum level. Once this vacuum level has been achieved, the R5 PLUS continues to run at a minimum speed, enabling it to respond to a sudden need for increased vacuum demand and leading to further energy savings.
