Lumiglas – the observation of process operations taking place

that is what lumiglas offers.

Lumiglas stands for sight and light ; for ideal visual control.

These inspections are carried out either by the process operative directly on the spot or without the need to access the plant, by means of the Lumiglas VISULEX Ex camera system. The combination of light and sight glass, created by Papenmeier- the first of many Lumiglas patents- is the ideal low cost solution for the user: the additional cut-out for a second sight port in the case of separate ports is avoided.

More security- less cost!

Lumiglas is internationally renowned and used by leading companies worldwide, particularly in explosion hazardous areas of the chemical, bio and pharmaceutical industries: mineral oil refining as well as foodstuffs and beverage industries, nuclear power plant, machine construction, electro industry, water treatment and shipbuilding.

Lumiglas means:

Individually tailored resolution of problems; using economically attractive standard products or special designs to clients’ own specification.

A closely woven network of agencies both in and out of the country ensures efficient customer and after sales service.

Overview:

Lumiglas sight glasses, sight glass fittings and sight glass luminaires
Lumiglas VISULEX Ex camera systems for remote visual control of processes which are difficult to access physically or where there is danger of contamination
Lumiglas Sterile Technology – Process observation and visual control systems special Lumiglas stainless steel sight glass luminaires for use in aseptic or sterile areas
Lumiglas Ex vehicle luminaires for mechanical handling vehicles ( e.g. fork lift trucks) as well as special Ex luminaires for aviation fuel tankers
Lumiglas Solution packages for biogas production – Remote monitoring with Ex-cameras, and all components for producers and operators of biogas plants – Biogas Sight Glass with Light, Wiper and Camera System- Biogas sight glass for digester tanks and methane digester tanks. Our sight glass gasket creates a gas-tight seal by conforming to cement walls and ports used in digester tank construction. These biogas sight glasses are often equipped with explosion-proof LED lighting and cameras, as well as spray nozzles and wipers to keep the window clean despite the often-messy process material.

Lumiglas ensures that:

All products pass the tests laid down by DIN EN ISO 9001 and in accordance with EC guideline with new Dekra/Exam according to the ATEX Directive 2014/34 / EU for Ex certificated undertakings, a mandatory examination. Thus Lumiglas safeguards the quality that brings years of practical use.

Versatile, high-performance Ex-class motor drive with compact dimensions for numerous applications

Special advantages of the Lumiglas Ex-class motor drive:
Especially in environments that require the remote monitoring of processes in reactors (e. g. biogas plants), ex-type cameras are frequently mounted on sight glasses, enabling process engineers to observe what is going on in the vessel from a central control room, which is frequently located at some distance from the reactor itself.

This eliminates the need for physical presence at a reactor, frequently entailing safety-relevant situations made more difficult by adverse environmental conditions, e. g. bad weather.

In certain processes, problems can arise if there are deposits of the substance in the reactor on the sight glass screen, thus making it difficult or even impossible for the camera to view the process. This can be remedied by using one of the proven wipers from the Lumiglas range: SW I and SWII. These wipers are normally operated by hand when the observer wants to inspect the reactor.

In many cases, however, the remote observation of reactors, e. g. via Lumiglas camera technology, is mandatory, making it essential to install a motor-driven wiper that can be actuated remotely from the control room.

The Ex motor drive EMA I-Ex has been developed specifically for such applications.

Because remote observation is mainly carried out in potentially
explosive environments, an Ex-class motor drive is now available in addition to the Ex camera

The Ex-class motor drive is mainly intended for operating wipers on sight glasses and is suitable for short- or long-term operation.

Especially in environments that require the remote monitoring of processes in reactors

Compact overall size; high turning moment; excellent motor power; low energy consumption.

Approved for use in potentially explosive environments, Zones 1 and 2 as well as 21 and 22

Approved for use in ambient temperatures of between -20°C and +50°C

Type of protection: Terminal connection and motor enclosure IP68, motor shaft IP54

Small dimensions, great effectiveness:

The Ex-class motor drive is designed for both short-term and continuous operations.

All development targets have been achieved:

Compact overall size; high turning moment; excellent motor
power; low energy consumption.

The Ex motor drive is thus ideally suited for operating, for
instance, Lumiglas screen wipers:
a) SW I (the wiper blade axis passes through a hole in the
sight glass) – for low pressure
b) SW II (the wiper blade axis is operated from the side
through a hole in the sight glass fitting by means of a
flexible shaft) – for higher pressure

Combination with a spray facility is also possible.

Structure of compact unit:

The unit is made up of a DC electric motor with a flanged drive and special coupling by way of which (e. g.) the wiper axis of a screen wiper is turned.
