Assured Automation Eliminizer Series Compressed Air Filters
Clark, NJ (March 29th, 2018) - When using compressed air to open valves, move cylinders, or power pneumatic tools, quality air is critical and the first step to achieving this is filtration. Particulates, water, and oil in compressed air can be destructive to downstream equipment. Particulate contamination can cause valves to fail prematurely. Moisture and oil can degrade seal materials. Dirty air reduces efficiency and shortens equipment service life. The Eliminizer Series is constructed using a patented cyclonic inverse flow technology. Excellent water & dirt capture to 1 micron. ISO Class 2 particulate. The cyclonic inverse flow design guarantees the Eliminizer will not allow moisture downstream. Air enters through the NPT inlet port and travels down the plastic sheath around the filter element forcing the air to swirl in a cyclonic fashion. Centrifugal forces drive moisture and contaminants outwards coll...
Make Your Water Flow Meter Into A Digital Water Meter
Clark, NJ (September 26th, 2017) - Adding a Remote Digital Display with Reset to a Mechanical Water Flow Meter. Mechanical water meters commonly used for residential and commercial water metering are typically “Totalizer Only.” This means that they simply measure the water that passes through them in their lifetime. The registers can only be read locally at the meter itself. This makes it difficult for landlords and property managers to read submeters that are only accessible within a private unit. It also requires that the previous reading is available to subtract from the current reading in order to calculate the usage within that time period. These meters can be easily be upgraded to include a remote digital display with reset. That upgrade provides many benefits to homeowners and la...
Concrete Contractors Use Assured Automation A1 Series Flow Meters To Monitor Water Usage
Clark, NJ (August 30th, 2017) - Concrete Flow Meter: A1 Series Problem: A redi mix concrete company was encountering monetary loss due to batch quality differences. Drivers were manually adding water on site to bring the concrete mix to a suitable slump rating. The amount of added water was very subjective and was not monitored which caused variances in batches and quality of product. Solution: Because the strength of the concrete is largely dependent on the amount of water used in the mix, it is critical to monitor the amount that is added accurately. Assured Automation suggested the A1 Series flow meter which is placed in line on the truck to monitor any water added to the mix. Application: It is necessary to monitor the amount of water added to the cement batch in the mixing truck after it has left the batch plant. Several state Departments of Transportation require that if a truck will b...

Heat Activated Pneumatic Shut-off Valve Improves Fire Safety Systems
Clark, NJ (October 13th, 2016) - The Firechek FC-4 Series is a FM approved heat activated pneumatic shut-off valve. When the shape memory alloy of the FireChek senses excessive heat from a nearby fire, it immediately vents the pneumatic actuator and closes the actuator air supply line. FireChek triggers quickly, securing pneumatically operated process line valves. Because this valve responds to heat, not flame, it offers dramatically improved protection compared with conventional plastic tubing burn-through. It shuts off the air supply line to prevent plant air from feeding oxygen to a fire. The element is 100% reliable because the shape memory effect is intrinsic to the alloy. The element senses the ambient temperature and through a phase induction change, rapidly produces the force and motio...
