Protecting valves with correct maintenance
SPX
To ensure valves continue to operate as they should, they require
routine maintenance. To help its customers keep processes running
smoothly, SPX FLOW has released a series of step-by-step
video guides to maintaining its products. The latest of these covers
disassembly, seal replacement and reassembly of its APV Delta
RUF Check Valve.
The APV Delta RUF check valve is used where the prevention of
backflow of product is critical to the production process. The nonreturn
valve offers high operational assurance in a compact design
and is widely used across the brewery, dairy, chemical and pharmaceutical
industries. Designed for easy maintenance, the valve has
robust bearings and profile seals that eliminate any gaps through
which product could leak.
The new SPX FLOW maintenance video (available on youtube)
walks the viewer through every stage
of valve disassembly, seal removal
and replacement, and reassembly. It
explains in detail the tools and processes
needed to ensure correct
maintenance without damaging the

Magnoni’s air blowing conveyor belt uses a high production speed (up
to 160,000 cph) and low noise level (< 82 dB at 1 meter distance)
system that aligns products in single or multiple rows. Thanks to the
low pressure used, the air blowing conveyor belt reduces damage to
containers and is functional to the feeding of the rinsing machines.
Made of AISI 304 stainless steel, it comes with removable side protections
of Lexan, height adjustable lids (either manually or electrically),
silenced filters and fans connected to single disconnection switches.
The air-blowing conveyor belt also features different blowing zones
and is used in pre-rinsing, pre-filling and post-depalletizer phases.

SSI Schaefer is making advising on, planning, and implementing logistics
systems even more efficient with an innovative software platform.
“LogiVision”, the interactive framework, offers numerous tools
for taking a holistic view of a project with reliable analysis data and a
thoroughly interconnected project flow. LogiVision is designed as a
platform that, on the one hand, integrates data from various sources
and combines them into one overall picture. On the other hand, its
client server architecture allows all those involved in the project to
access the relevant planning data from anywhere in the world via
laptop, smartphone, or tablet, in order to modify this data to create
the optimal solution based on key figures. Using analysis and simulation
algorithms, projections of future developments can also be
integrated into project planning.
The LogiVision framework is an innovative instrument that makes
SSI Schaefer’s consultancy and planning projects even more efficient.
With LogiVision, SSI Schaefer guides and supports the user
throughout the whole project – starting with concept evaluation
and workshops before the project even begins, through in-depth
advice during the implementation phase right up to start-up. Even
potential future enhancements can be checked and planned using
LogiVision. The platform can incorporate, prepare, analyze, and display
the results of simulations.
The analysis and simulation platform LogiVision, a tool that uses the
latest technology now aids intralogistics consultants. The IT program
offers the advisors, project engineers, sales team, and the customer’s
specialist departments direct access to the current plans via a web
browser. The basis for this is a Business Discovery Platform, where the
data is stored and visualized. Using dashboards, the relevant framework
data and key figures can be interactively edited with different
tools and their results can be analyzed – even by the customer.
Alongside this, the planners and consultants at SSI Schaefer can
access the latest data model, integrate the customer’s suggestions directly
into this model and display the effects. ssi-schaefer.com
