CRUSHING BREAKING TRANSMITTER OPTION ON LUBE METERS SERVE CRUSHERS Universal Flow Monitors offers the addition of a 420mA transmitter option to its lubrication flowmeter line for use in rockcrushing operations. These variable area meters now have compact, noncontact magnetically coupled transmitters as an alternative to the usual alarm switches or they can be specified in addition to the switches for signal redundancy. The SN, MN and LL meters monitor lubrication flow to keep gears and bearings for flows ranging from .25 (1/4) gpm to 160 gpm. The lube oil flowmeters protect machinery and minimize downtime in event of flow failure. They provide local flow indication to assist in problem diagnosis and rapid response if flow goes too low. The transmitter can input to the control system to trigger equipment shutdown for protection against machinery damage. Universal Flow Monitors Inc, ufm@flowmeters.com Weir Minerals Announces Line of Crushers and Screens Weir Minerals is launching its new Enduron line of materials‐reduction equipment, in‐ cluding crushers, screens and feeders for the mining, sand and aggregate industries.
