May 2017 www.coalage.com 45 product news continued personnel and moving equipment by monitoring safety zones and access authorization. www.cat.com/requestCatinfo Baldor Expands Raptor Line of Couplings Baldor Electric Co. recently an- nounced the expansion of the Raptor tire coupling product line, designed to deliver up to 5.9 times longer cou- pling life, to include sizes E100, E120 and E140, with a maximum torque rating of 340,340 in.-lb. The Raptor coupling uses Win- gLock technology, an optimized elas- tomeric element designed to provide longer driven equipment life and in- creased reliability. This technology increases surface area at the most critical regions of the element, resulting in higher bond strength, improved fatigue resistance, and significantly longer coupling life than competitive urethane designs. A non-lubricated natural rubber element results in lower stiff- ness, improved vibration damping and industry leading misalign- ment capabilities. For reduced maintenance, the Raptor offers a split element for easy replacement without having to move or realign connected equipment. Slotted clamp ring holes offer extra clearance for mounting hardware, resulting in a noticeably easier installation. Every Dodge Raptor coupling is backed by a five-year warranty. www.baldor.com Non-nuclear Density Meters The Red Meters (RM) Series is a product lineup of highly accurate non-nuclear density meters. Coated with an abrasion-resistant liner to withstand rough and finely ground slurries, the RM3 is easily installed into the slurry pipeline. A Class 2 industrial laser reads passing materials continuously, which is then interpreted by the system's custom-developed algorithm and fed into the Human Monitoring Interface (HMI). Density is calculated with an accura- cy of 0.25% based on samples taken 50 times per second. The RM3 is far more than just a sensor. The HMI touchscreen output can be set to display different variables in numerical or graph form, including density, pressure, percent solids, totalized mass, and more. The RM3 is designed to accommodate an internal pipe bore of 2 in. to 60 in. in diameter with a maximum pressure of 600 psi. Replacing a nuclear meter with a RM3 increases accuracy readings by 2.5%, leading to immeasurable savings in time and money. www.redmeters.com Open Gear and Rope Lubricant Bel-Ray's Molylube Open Gear and Rope Lubricant can be used in general industrial open gears, pins and bushings, chains, wire ropes, cables, drive chains and sliding surfaces. It has been specifically formulated for open gears, girth gears and rack and pinions, which are found in all types of equipment such as draglines, shovels, mills, kilns and stationary and mobile cranes. The Molylube Open Gear and Rope Lubricant, ac- cording to Bel-Ray, is a highly tenacious lubricant that ensures adherence to the gear teeth creating excellent resistance to throw-off and slinging. "Bel-Ray's Molylube SF100 is the leader in open gear lubrication for the world's largest and most de- manding mining equipment," said Bret Jenkins, director of min- ing sales, Bel-Ray. "Now, the same protection is available in a con- venient aerosol version, virtually eliminating wear in open gears in draglines, shovels, cranes and stationary rotary equipment." Molylube Open Gear and Rope Lubricant is a versatile, heavy-duty multiservice aerosol spray lubricant developed for easily lubrication of hard-to-reach open gears, chains and wire ropes. Its unique formulation provides excellent lubrication un- der extreme pressure conditions. In addition the new aerosol lubricant provides anti-wear, water resistance and rust and cor- rosion protection associated with demanding mining and heavy industry equipment applications. www.belray.com Booth # 745 That's why we build custom machines that work just as hard.
