Melt pumps used in polymer production are a special high temp positive displacement pump used at the discharge of an extruder to assure a smooth, high temperature and high pressure (often several thousand psi) supply of the polymer to the filter screen and die for better throughput and uniformity of product. Blockage of the filter screen or die can cause spikes in pressure high enough that the die can be damaged or blown off the feed tap. When that happens, the released polymer will cool and harden at ambient pressure and temperature, requiring hours of cleanup. Downtime costs can be significant.

Industrial compressors are often used in large chemical plants to supply headers with air for pneumatic instruments and valves. These compressors have to run at precise speeds.  If they start to run too fast they can become very dangerous and expensive to repair.

State regulations required a major pulp and paper company to monitor and record daily effluent water rates. This requirement was being fulfilled by sending an employee from their main control site to a remotely located pond three times a day to manually record water levels. This process was inefficient, time-consuming and didn’t provide them with real-time data.

According to the HART® Communications Foundation, there are more than 30 million HART-enabled instruments installed in chemical and process plants worldwide, and nearly most process transmitters made today are HART compatible.

One smart instrument communication protocol has outlasted and outsold all of the alternative digital instruments and protocols introduced to market over the last thirty years -- HART and the devices that use it.  With over 40 million installed HART devices worldwide, HART is not only here to stay but unlike other protocols, it also continues to get updated revisions that enhance data exchange capacity, speed, number of devices on a network, support over Ethernet, and wireless capability.

Timely knowledge about your process enables better decisions and faster preventive action. Now you can get the process detail that you need from your Smart HART devices to MODBUS/TCP and HART-IP based monitoring and control systems at the speed of Ethernet with the HES HART to Ethernet Gateway System from Moore Industries.

The original goal when creating the WORM Flexible Temperature Sensor was to provide a sensor that could be cut in the field to accommodate various size wells and assemblies. Experience has proven this design helps with other obstacles in the field:

HART^® Isolators from Moore Industries

HART^® data is extremely useful but when you have to isolate your loops in order to share key process signals or keep your systems safe from power issues, HART data can be stripped off and blocked by most isolators. This prevents your critical HART data from reaching your to asset management systems, programming devices or host systems.

HART Isolators from Moore Industries can save the day. With built-in HART pass-through technology you can rest assured that when your loops use HART transmitters, critical and valuable HART diagnostic, process, and calibration information can be read on either side of the Moore Industries HART Isolators.
