92 E&MJ; • DECEMBER 2015 www.e-mj.com E Q U I P M E N T G A L L E R Y of Donaldson Co., recently introduced its Reservoir Air Dryer for tanks and reservoirs. The Donaldson Reservoir Air Dryer offers a solution to curb the damaging effects of moisture by dehydrating the reservoir head- space and removing dissolved moisture from exposed oils and fuels. The air dryer combats moisture by introducing a steady flow of clean, dry air into tanks and reser- voirs. The airflow keeps humidity relatively low in the headspace, pulling moisture from the fluids and preventing condensation. Installation is easy and takes relatively little time, according to the company—users simply connect compressed air to the inlet of the unit and plumb into the headspace of the tank or reservoir. www.mycleandiesel.com Illuminated Connector Positively Indicates Power-on TE Connectivity has released the new Deutsch DT Detector connector. The Detector connector provides a visual con- firmation of power by producing a distinct glow, which helps with troubleshooting, especially in areas with difficult connec- tor visibility and accessibility. The new two-way plug features a transparent hous- ing and a wedge lock with an integrated 12- or 24-volt LED. The Detector connec- tor is environmentally sealed and de- signed to withstand the demands of min- ing applications. www.te.com/DTDetector Versatile Dock for Ruggedized Tablet Havis, based in Pennsylvania, USA, has released docking stations designed for the new Dell Latitude 12 rugged tablet. The new DS-DELL-600 Series docking station offers computer charging, security and connection to peripherals in industrial workplaces. It has been tested to comply with industry safety standards, including 30-mph crash simulations per SAE J1455, military-grade vibration testing, hot/cold operation and storage testing, extensive cycle testing and compliance with RoHS (Restriction of Use of Hazardous Substances) regulations. The unit features recessed port replication designed to relieve strain and prevent accidental cable disconnects. Full-port replication allows for complete connectivi- ty to printers, scanners and other periph- erals, with up to three powered USB 3.0 cables, one USB 2.0 cable, Ethernet, seri- al, video VGA, DisplayPort, optional anten- nas to improve range, and an optional internal power supply. http://customers.havis.com/index.php/dell Bluetooth Device Simplifies Water Level Measurements Data logger supplier Onset recently announced the relase of the Hobo MX2001, claimed to be the first water level data logger designed for convenient wireless setup and download from mobile Boart Longyear LS™250 MiniSonic™ The LS™250 MiniSonic™ rig is a great choice for geothermal projects requiring straight, continuously cased holes in geological formations. The wide tracks and low ground pressure (.28 bar/4 psi) are perfect for increased accessibility (without having to build roads to truck in heavy equipment) and for the most sensitive terrains. Plus, sonic drilling reduces waste by up to 80%. www.BoartLongyear.com/MiniSonic Multiply your profitability True performance in today's complex mining operations is measured by getting the most out of the least.
