Green Energy

Energy management and energy conservation start with the ability to monitor power and energy use.   For electrical systems, this involves measuring DC or AC power (Watts, VA, VAr) or energy (Wh, VAh, VArh).
In fixed installations, digital meters offer a range of display formats, capabilities & sizes. Single display power/energy meters start at $150.  Multiple display meters with user selectable parameters are available for $200-800, depending on configuration and capabilities. Bargraph power meters, which show a digital reading and analog level, start around $350.Advanced parameters, including power factor, demand & harmonics, are standard on many models. Most meters also offer options for setpoint alarms & network communications.  Specialized meters are available for applications such as generator monitoring or load shedding.  See the more popular digital:

Pharmaceutical Industry Solutions – explosion protected plugs and receptacles

Pharmaceutical Industry Solutions

Safety is of major concern to all manufacturers, but nowhere more than in the labs and process facilities of pharmaceutical companies — the world of clean rooms and powder.

Their materials and production processes put factories, equipment, and employees at special risk of explosion. Understanding and preventing these events is an area of distinctive expertise at R. STAHL.

Pharmaceutical companies live with the risk of flammable and combustible substances being released in the event of a process malfunction, or merely when a customer is cleaning with flammable liquids. Consequently, the requirements of explosion protection must span virtually all process operations, even in clean rooms.

Special Needs Give Rise to Unique Products

The photograph at right shows a product recently designed by R. STAHL in collaboration with a leading U.S. pharmaceutical firm. A special clean room power plug and receptacle panels have been designed with smooth flanges to prevent bacteria contamination. Clean room panels facilitate quick process transitions and ensure safe working environments.
