Pulp fiction or pulp precision?
April 2025, Sensors & Transducers, VEGA Controls SA
The density of fruit concentrate has a direct impact on the flavour, texture and overall quality of the final product. The VEGA Minitrac 31, VEGASOURCE 31, and the KV 31 mounting bracket present a failproof solution that effectively addresses the technical complexities associated with high temperature, viscosity and fouling. |
Unlocking the smart factory
April 2025, Motion Control & Drives, Editor's Choice, ElectroMechanica
At ElectroMechanica, we recognise that transitioning to smart automation isn’t just about adopting new technology; it’s about solving real challenges. Labour shortages, rising costs and downtime due to outdated machinery make digital transformation essential for long-term competitiveness. |
Case History 197: Bad reboiler temperature control.
April 2025, Flow Measurement & Control, Editor's Choice, Michael Brown Control Engineering
It is very important that reboiler temperature controls operate well in petrochemical refineries, or the product quality can really suffer. I was asked to check such a control in a refinery where they were having problems with one of these controls.
