fiberglass paint arrestor, the compa­ny's newest advancement in over­spray collection technology.

OuraShield Ultra is speciallydesigned to offer paint capture effi­ciency levels of up to 99-plus-per­cent. Reducing the amount of over­spray within a spray booth is particu­larly beneficial for keeping emissionsdown and improving performance.OuraShield Ultra offers stellar per­formance as a stand-alone or pre-fil­ter in spray booth exhaust applica­tions. OuraShield Ultra-available inconventional pad sizes, custom cutblankets, and rolls-is designed toperform like a conventional polyesterpaint arrestor, but with the cost­effective benefits of fiberglass. Paintarrestors like the OuraShield Ultraare beneficial to purchase, as they aretypically lower in cost to ship asopposed to other filtration' mediatypes like paper & polyester.Currently, Chemco offers a 30-dayguaranteed trial of OuraShield Ultrato let the spray booth operator trythis filter media firsthand withoutrisk.

HIGH-SPEED ROBOTSMotoman offers the powerful, flexi­ble, high-speed MH-series of robotsthat can be used for a variety ofappli­cations, including coating, dispens­ing, material cutting, handling andwelding. The long reach ofthe MH50model, and the extended reaches of

the MH50-35 and MH50-20 units,make these robots ideal for process­ing large parts. In many celliayours,the extended-reach models can elim­inate the need for an external track,decreasing system cost and simplify­ing programming. Internally rouredcables and hoses maximize systemreliability, minimize interference andfacilitate programming. Wide workenvelopes with small interferencezones allow the MH-series robots tobe placed in close proximity to work­pieces and equipment, therebyreducing floors pace requirements.The robots have brakes on all axesand can be floor-, wall- or ceiling­mounted for layout flexibility.

The MH50, MH50-35 and MH50­20 robots use Motoman's dynamic,next-generation OX100 controller,which includes patented multiplerobot control technology to easilyhandle multiple tasks and control upto eight robots (72 axes), I/O devicesand communication protocols.

Featuring a robust PC architecturewith unmatched memory capacity,the OX100 uses a Windows® CEprogramming pendant with colortouch screen. The energy-savingOX100 controller features faster pro­cessing speeds for smoother interpo­lation, advanced robot arm motion,built-in collision avoidance, quickerI/O response and acceleratedEthernet communication. Its exten­sive I/O suite includes integral PLCand HMI pendant displays, 2,048I/O and a graphical ladder editorthat can provide system level control.The OX100 controller supports allmajor fieldbus networks and is com­pliant to ANSI/RIA 15.06-1999 andother relevant ISO and CSA safetystandards.

WASTEWATER TREATMENTMoyno. Inc. offers the 2000 HSSystem as the cost-effective alterna­tive to expensive, high-maintenancepiston pumps and open conveyors

for dewatered sludge transfer inmunicipal wastewater treatment.The HS System features an integralhopper with a twin-screw auger feed­er and Moyno G4 progressing cavitypump that efficiently handles semi­dry, high solids, dewatered munici­pal sludge to more than 50% solids.

The Moyno 2000 HS system canpump filter cake further distanceswith higher volumetric efficienciesthan any other progressing cavitypump, according to Moyno. Its twin­screw feeder supplies a constant,pressurized feed rate to the pump,resulting in a 100% pump cavity fillrate. The enhanced design of thepatented Ultra-Feed® pump rotorhead further contributes to superiorvolumetric efficiency.

The system features a non-pulsingflow, which translates into signifi-
