Sentry Equipment Corp acquires
AquatiPro
 Oconomowoc,
WI -- Sentry Equipment Corp, a leading worldwide supplier of
industrial sampling products and systems, announces the
acquisition of assets owned by AquatiPro, LLC, a
multi-vendor service organization specializing in
professional and maintenance-repair services that support
water and steam sample conditioning equipment, monitoring
devices and analyzers.
With the addition of
AquatiPro™, Sentry Equipment expands its offering of
analytical and maintenance services, while improving the
availability of replacement parts for multi-vendor water and
steam sampling systems and equipment.
“We are extremely fortunate
to have AquatiPro professionals join our team,” said Michael
Farrell, President and CEO of Sentry Equipment Corp.
“AquatiPro brings an
industry-focused expertise and dedication to serving many of
the organizations and industries that Sentry Equipment
serves. By combining services and products so synergistic in
nature, we are certain our customers will appreciate greater
convenience and accessibility of parts and services, as well
as gainful access to a growing knowledge base. Additionally,
we are planning to add field service technicians throughout
the US to accommodate this effort.”
Founded in 2004, AquatiPro
has realized rapid growth due mostly to its substantial
expertise in the maintenance and repair of all types of
water and steam sample systems and analyzers used by the
power industry. Greg Macy, Managing Director of AquatiPro,
LLC, will retain his position with AquatiPro — now a
division of Sentry Equipment Corp — and will continue to

New Rotodrawer Rotary Style
Drawer-In-Housing
 Boyne
City, MI -- Industrial Magnetics, Inc. has developed a new,
rotary style Drawer-In-Housing Magnet to rid ferrous metal
from powder & bulk processed products that have difficult
flow characteristics and a tendency to bridge and choke when
using traditional, stationary tube style magnetic
separators. The magnet is ideal for products that have a
higher moisture content or particle size, such as flours,
cake mixes or corn starch, and require a high degree of
product purity.
The RotoDrawer™ Magnet features a
motorized, cylindrical configuration of Rare Earth magnetic
tubes on a horizontal plane that continually rotate through
a gravity fed product stream. The rotational design of the
magnet, as well as our unique splitter bars that serve to
further break up any clumps of product, keep the flow moving
through the housing while capturing any ferrous metal
contamination and purifying the product.
IMI's Rare Earth RotoDrawer is
available in either an EZ-Clean or Self-Cleaning design to
simplify the removal of collected metal and prevent any
metal wash-off back into the product stream. Standard sizes
range from 8"x8" to 18"x18" inlets and outlets, with custom
designs and sizes available to fit your exact application
requirements.

Addressing Common Airlock Issues
Guest article by Cem Brinckley
Rotary Airlock, LLC
Though
seemingly a small item in the overall picture, an
airlock’s failure could result in something as subtle
(but still costly) as a loss of efficiency – or the
complete shutdown of a production line. It is important,
then, to make sure the airlocks are properly functioning
and maintained to bring maximum efficiency and run-time
to the manufacturing process... (Click

Agrochemical Operation Cuts Maintenance Hours in Half
Migrating an
agrochemical producer’s existing installed base of pH
analyzers to Endress+Hauser’s Memosens and Liquiline
technology platforms increased pH data reliability,
decreased downtime, and increased production.
Substantial savings were realized: Specifically,
maintenance labor was reduced by 50% and consumable
usage was cut by 60%, producing savings of more than
$450,000 per year....
