MAID LABS
Mermaid Data Logger
Maid Labs is an innovative company and developer of the Mermaid system. Made of two parts, a data logger and software, the Mermaid system is used throughout North America to provide critical data to regulators and to understand the daily activities of individual lift stations. The Mermaid system calculates average flow rates within 2 percent of a standard magnetic flow meter, while providing critical data on the electrical performance and efficiency of the lift station in the process. The Mermaid software provides detailed data reports on the events, flow, infiltration, inflow and outflow, motor, analog, monthly and flow amounts, all this is easily downloaded to Excel and presented in user friendly charts and graphs.

FLUID COMPONENTS INTERNATIONAL
FS10A Analyzer Flow Switch/Monitor
The FS10A is a universal flow switch and monitor specifically designed for gas and liquid process analyzer sampling systems. The FS10A is a fast responding, highly repeatable sensor which installs easily into a standard tube tee fitting or new SP76 (NeSSI) modular manifold. The FS10A utilizes proven thermal dispersion flow measurement technology with FCI proprietary equal mass sensing to achieve outstanding sensitivity and repeatability. The instrument’s wetted parts are superior corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel with Hastelloy-C sensor tips. The sensor element has no moving parts to foul, clog, or maintain, which ensures continuous reliability and no maintenance costs. There are no cavities, orifices, or dead-legs to trap or contaminate samples, which preserves sample integrity and faster system sampling times. The instrument provides a top-mounted, flow rate monitoring LED array for at-a-glance visual indication of proper flow rate to the analyzer or sampling system, that an alarm/trip has been reached, and as indication the unit is powered and operating.

AUTOMATIK PLASTICS MACHINERY / MAAG
EL 24 Elastomer Feed Roller
Automatik Plastic Machinery has developed a new elastomer feed roller specially designed to meet high demands in terms of abrasion and thermal loading. This new roller, designated EL 24, features a high thermal load capacity of up to 338 degrees Fahrenheit (170 degrees Celsius), well above that of conventional rollers in use. The EL 24 also offers better frictional resistance and compression behavior than conventional elastomer feed rollers. Worthy of notice is the fact that the new roller is white. In addition, and importantly for the semiconductor industry, it is also silicon-free. Ever more specialized materials are leading to a steady rise in demand for feed rollers adapted to the materials being processed. Long-time tests by a variety of Automatik customers imposing very high demands and subject to very high loading on feed rollers have demonstrated that using the EL 24 results in four to five times longer life. For more information, contact Chris Laurent at chrislaurent@maag.com.
