Sanitary pump diaphragms
Garlock now offers pump diaphragms for demanding sanitary applications, such as air-operated diaphragm pumps for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Made of the company's PTFE diaphragm material and proprietary EPDM backing, the new Gylon® One-Up® pump diaphragms feature the same patented rib construction as the standard industrial One-Up. The diaphragms are designed for use in non-abrasive service, where they provide the same level of chemical resistance and longevity. Supplied with either bolt holes or perimeter sealing beads, the one-piece diaphragms are significantly easier to install than two-piece diaphragms. Garlock Sealing Technologies LLCwww.garlock.com
Water treatment chemicals
GE has introduced a line of environmentally friendly molybdate-free water treatment chemicals called FoodPro ST8069* and FoodPro ST8070* to prevent corrosion in sterilizers and pasteurizers used in the food and beverage industry. Due to the absence of the expensive raw material molybdate, these new chemicals can be sold at a lower price providing, on average, 30 percent savings when calculated on the treatment costs for one cubic meter of water. GE designed the treatment family for use under soft water conditions where corrosion of food packages and sterilizer equipment can lead to severe problems. GE Power & Waterwww.ge.com

Leak detection
Spectronics has introduced the new Spectroline® OPK-342 Industrial Leak Detection Kit. It provides a way to pinpoint the exact source of all leaks in water- and water/glycol-based industrial systems (both static and circulating). At the core of the kit is the Optimax™ 3000 blue light LED inspection flashlight, which is cordless and rechargeable. It is 15 times brighter than regular LED flashlights and has an inspection range of up to 20 feet. Also included in the kit is a 16 oz twin-neck bottle of concentrated WD-802 fluorescent water dye.
