The Hazards of NOT Using Softstarters on Your Beverage Line

This video demonstrates a key advantage of using a soft start system on a bottling line, in this case a dairy milk line. Consistent start-up regardless of belt load and reduced product damage risk (illustrated by this video) are obvious. Another important benefit is that couplings, belts and bearings are given additional protection against mechanical wear.

Softstarters from ABB increase the life of a motor by protecting the motor against electric stress. They do so by optimizing starting currents that put a great deal of stress on the motor with conventional start methods. Installation-friendly Softstarters from ABB can reduce your assembly and start time by being easy to use and easy to learn. A single Softstarter provides a compact and complete starting solution with everything you need in a single system, from the bypass contactor to the overload protection. In addition, ABB Softstarters can ultimately help increase productivity with many application-specific features.

PTI Taps into Water Treatment Solutions

The Rural Water Association of Utah's Annual Conference

This past February, Process Technology, Inc. (PTI) exhibited at the Rural Water Association of Utah's Annual Conference in Saint George. The Rural Water Association of Utah is Utah’s representative to the National Rural Water Association, the nation’s largest utility association. The Rural Water Association of Utah's mission is to provide professional training, support services, and representation for the water and wastewater industry.

Issues regarding how fresh water, a limited valuable resource in Utah's desert environment, will continue to be safe and accessible are the conference's focus. Concerns range from growth patterns to the lack of responsible water use by end users. Along with water suppliers, everyone needs to be proactive in "Slow the Flow" (and other water wise programs) and apply solutions to clean and maintain the existing water supply.

How is PTI helping?

PTI Sales Engineer Buddy Alford

At the conference, Sales Engineers Buddy Alford and Roger Smith discussed strategies for production, treatment, and efficient use of water in rural areas with Technicians, Operators, General Managers and Municipal Board Members of Rural Water suppliers and treatment facilities from all over Utah. They also presented and demonstrated important products used in the water industry that improve efficiency and lower cost, namely:

• Red Valve/ Tideflex Passive Mixing systems and supporting instrumentation.
• ABB VFDs.
• Richards Industries Low Flow valve systems for chemical injection.
• Red Lion automation solutions with HMls and process controllers.
