Testo launches NEW Maintenance Kit

In the global competition for market shares, companies depend on efficient manufacturing processes and machines that run reliably. Maintenance was previously considered to be purely a tool for rectifying faults. These days, it is seen as a preventive maintenance service which ensures the permanent availability of production facilities and plays a vital role in the competitiveness of industrial companies. Every day, maintenance department personnel are at the forefront of the struggle to minimise downtimes, prevent damage to machines, fully exploit the level of equipment utilisation, and as a result also reduce maintenance costs. They are also responsible to ensure safety in the workplace.

Testo India launches an all NEW Maintenance Kit for those who keep the systems running and are responsible for taking care of the assets of the plant. It’s highly important to select the best instruments to carry out the maintenance work in the most efficient way. However, to find all the maintenance instruments at one stop is a tedious task in itself.

Testo, understands the significance of these equipments for maintenance function and hence, is here with the all NEW Maintenance Kit. It offers entire testing& measuring instruments kit to equip the maintenance personnel for their task. The NEW Maintenance Kit from Testo consists of the following instruments put together in an attractive and handy case.

·         ThermalImager testo 870-1
Thermal Imager detects even the smallest temperature differences to identify anomalies in time by creating a heat profile of the components and assemblies.

·         Compactsized RPM Meter testo 470
RPM Meter measures the speed of rotation of motors, shafts, fans, and other rotating equipments.

·         Soundlevel meter testo 815
Sound level meter is for the measurement of noise level in industries or offices.

·         Pocketsized lux meter testo 540
Lux meter measures the illumination level for ambient working conditions.

·         Infraredthermometer testo 830-T1
IR thermometer accurately measures temperature from a distance using infrared technology, thus making temperature measurement possible even in difficult-to-reach areas or of moving objects.

EMISSION MONITORING IN BOILERS AND FURNACES

PROCESS:  In every combustion system, a fuel and air mixture is burned inside the combustion chamber. All liquid, solid, and gas fuels are basically hydrocarbons, and the process of burning results into production of various air pollutants. Especially uncontrolled combustion produces a high concentration of pollutants.  These pollutants damage the environment and are harmful to the population as well as the vegetation in the nearby areas where such plants are located.

It is very important that pollutants like CO, NO, NO2, SO2, HC, H2S, and to some extent, CO2, need to be monitored, so that they can be controlled later. Pollution Control Board has certain norms, and industries have to adhere to such norms and regulate the hazardous emissions, released from their exhausts.

MEASUREMENT:  In the combustion exhaust, gases like CO, NO, NO2, SO2, HC are to be measured in the stack, of all burning processes in boilers, furnaces, incinerators, and heaters.

SOLUTION: testo340 and testo350 with 4 and 6 sensors can be used in this application, depending on the no of gases to be measured by the client, and the other process conditions.

Testo's measurement technology guarantees safe food

testo 104-IR, the new temperature measuring instrument, fulfils the two most important functions for measuring the temperature of food: non-contact measurement with an infrared sensor and contact measurement with a penetration probe - all in one single instrument.

The infrared sensor measures surface temperature without contact, quickly and reliably. This means, for example, that supermarket employees can check very quickly whether goods that have just been delivered by truck are at the right temperature. They can scan individual products or entire goods pallets within seconds. If a temperature limit value is exceeded, the penetration probe can be folded out and the product's core temperature measured for safety purposes. "There is no longer any doubt as to whether a foodstuff subsequently destined for consumption is at the correct temperature", explains Product Manager at Testo AG. What makes the testo 104-IR so unique is that it performs two functions, but is so compact. The probe can be easily folded up once the job is finished, so it will fit into any jacket pocket. Where necessary, the instrument can be cleaned under running water, thus complying with the standard hygienic conditions when dealing with foodstuffs.

Therefore, the most important technical functions of the testo 104-IR are not only its clever "one product, two purposes" feature, but also its high level of measurement accuracy. Its 2-point laser with 10:1 optics guarantees that users will make no mistakes when carrying out measurements. This is because the two laser points mark the position to be measured precisely. The robust design and folding joint make the testo 104-IR a reliable temperature measuring instrument that is ideal for everyday use, for incoming goods, in the warehouse, in cold storage or in an industrial kitchen.

"This device actually makes complying with all the food safety standards such as HACCP or EN13485 fun", explains Matthias Germer. "As soon as the probe is opened up, the display is activated and I can start measuring straight away. Also the laser responds to the touch of a button". The testo 104-IR is so practical and intuitive to use that it is not even necessary for personnel to undertake extensive training beforehand. Which saves both time and costs.

In conclusion, the testo 104-IR can be used in the food sector wherever there is a requirement for temperature to be measured quickly and easily and, in case of any doubt, confirmed reliably. Users will have everything they need in terms of measurement technology to be able to supply consumers with exclusively top-quality goods every single time.
