PartiClE CountEr
Stauff 's new LPM II particle monitor uses high-performance LEDs to provide precise
images of the degree of contamination in a hydraulic system. With eight measur-
ing channels, the device can distinguish particle sizes between 4 and 70 microns.
Measured data is shown on the display as a contamination class according to ISO
4406:1999, NAS 1638, AS 4059E and ISO 11218 or as a particle count per size.
The LPM II is not sensitive to jolts, shocks, dust or moisture and can be used with
virtually any common hydraulic fluid.

Flow mEtEr
The Vision turbine flow meters from Badger Meter
are designed for flow measurement of low-viscos-
ity and non-aggressive liquids, including oils, fuel,
water solutions and coolants. The Vision series
consists of two models: the V1000 for measuring
liquid flow as low as 0.026 gallons per minute
(gpm) and up to 0.65 gpm, and the V2000 for
measuring liquid flow as low as 0.13 gpm and up
to 9.2 gpm. The flow meters have a temperature
range of minus 4 to 212 degrees F and can with-
stand operating pressure up to 362.50 pounds
per square inch.

EnginE PrEClEanEr
Turbo Filtration's PowerRam precleaner is engineered to protect engines
while boosting fuel efficiency. With its directional scoop and wide-angled
air intake, it improves engine performance by reducing air-intake restric-
tion and delivering more air to the engine at highway speeds. A louvered
screen prevents plugging from snow and ice buildup and extends filter life
by removing dirt particles from intake air. Ideal for large machines operat-
ing in severe-duty environments, the PowerRam also protects against the
re-entry of sooty exhaust air into the air intake.

Food-gradE lubriCants
The new Calumet Ultra F food-grade lubricants are
formulated to offer excellent lubricity, low volatility,
improved oxidation life stability, superior water separa-
tion and advanced foaming properties. The lubricants
also are designed to deliver improved wear prevention
properties and protection against thermal breakdown.
In addition to being compliant with all food, health and
safety regulations, the lubricants are kosher certified and
Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) compli-
ant. They can be used in a variety of applications ranging
from food-handling machinery lubricants and meat-pro-
cessing-related applications to machinery cleaner lubri-
cants and trolley lubricants.
