A new generation of Wenglor weFlux² fluid sensors is now available in Australia, as introduced by Treotham Automation, which uses a 2-in-1 principle to acquire both relative pressure and temperate of liquids and gases.

The new fluid sensors have integrated a temperature element into the pressure measuring cell, allowing the sensors to simultaneously acquire relative pressure and temperature in liquids and gases.

This combination of measuring can enhance economic efficiency as fewer sensors are required for process monitoring, and can also reduce the number of sensors for a more compact solution.

The weFlux² fluid sensors also come with an IO-Link 1.1 interface using the latest Wenglor wTeach2 software, which can acquire process values, such as pressure, flow and temperature, as well as being used by smart machines, which can configure the fluid sensors automatically and provide data to be evaluated and visualised in real-time.

Wenglor weFlux² fluid sensors are exclusively distributed in Australia by Treotham Automation.

Packaging News

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.

A cross-sector open letter is urging national leaders to agree on a pathway for regulated producer responsibility schemes at the September Environment Ministers Meeting.
