***Dust Collector Controller Ensures Reliable Pulse Cleaning***
JONESBORO, AR: FDC Controller provides user-friendly and reliable pulse cleaning control for all types of cartridge and baghouse dust collection systems. Using factory-programmed or customer-selected settings, the unit monitors pressure differential across the filters to ensure more efficient pulse cleaning, reducing compressed air energy usage and extending filter life. The FDC Controller is easily operated thanks to clear, permanent instructions posted on the NEMA 4X water- and chemical-proof box. A pulse cleaning switch on the front of the box allows the user to turn pulsing off, to pulse continuously based on pre-determined settings, or to clean "on demand" when the high pressure setting is reached and a dirty filter alarm sounds. ---Farr Air Pollution Control
***Microgage Transparent Receiver Solves Alignment Problems***
NEWBURYPORT, MA: Transparent, Microgage 2D receiver is used for aligning production machinery and equipment. A narrow laser beam provides a measuring reference line and the transparent receiver determines the position of a machine or sub-assembly relative to the laser beam. This receiver will operate over distances of 100 feet and deliver measuring precision of less than 0.0005 inch, ideal for demanding industrial alignment applications. The Microgage system and this newest transparent receiver are well suited for lathe and spindle alignment, checking machine tool runout, roll and web alignment, precision bore alignment and much more. ---Pinpoint Laser Systems

***Redesigned Kaeser Flow Controller***
FREDERICKSBURG, VA: Available for system capacities from 250 to 6200 scfm, the new Kaeser Flow Controller (KFC) creates more effective storage by accumulating compressed air in the receivers and only delivering air that is needed for production. The KFC responds very rapidly to fluctuating demand and actively maintains constant system pressure downstream. More stable air pressure helps eliminate artificial demand and substantially reduce air losses through leaks. Further, stored compressed air can now be used to satisfy air demand spikes without pressure drop at the point of use. Plus, the KFC can be installed very easily in new or existing systems without reconfiguring existing piping. ---Kaeser Compressors Inc.
***Steel Tank Wet/Dry Industrial Vacuums***
MALVERN, PA: GWD 120 and GWD 220 wet/dry industrial vacuums add convenience into the maintenance plans of a variety of industrial plants, because employees can easily collect both wet and dry materials without having to stop to change out filters, helping save time and money. Designed for heavy-duty use, the GWD 120 comes equipped with a single motor, while the GWD 220 has two for extra power. The high-powered bypass motors provide excellent performance, while maintaining low noise levels. An ergonomic "tip and pour" tank system also allows users to easily dispose of collected liquids. An innovative float valve shuts off airflow when container is full. ---Nilfisk-Advance America
