MAX-TRAK WINS GASES & TECHNOLOGY'S GASSY AWARD FOR BEST FLOW CONTROLLER AND FLOW CONTROL MAGAZINE'S INNOVATION WARD FOR THE MOST INNOVATIVE FLOW CONTROLLER IN 2006.

Now customer's can buy a single compact integrated gas mass flow controller to solve industrial flow control problems. Max-Trak eliminates the cost and headache of creating a robust and accurate integrated system comprising a separate industrial MFM & Valve.

THE GASSY'S

In the Gas and Technology Industry, winning a Gassy is the top achievement that can be earned by a flow company. Our Max-Trak MFC was judged against other Mass Flow Controllers on the market by an independent committee of seven experts representing science, academia, and users in industry.

Each product was judged specifically on its innovation, cost effectiveness, speed/throughput improvements, quality, ease of use, maintainability, and environmental responsibility.

FLOW CONTROL'S INNOVATION AWARD

The Winner of Flow Control's Innovation Award is determined by the readers. Readers were encouraged to vote for a number of nominees in a variety of categories to determine what product was the best for the various fluid handling product categories. Max-Trak was judged against other Mass Flow Controllers on the market and chosen as the winner.

Nominees for the award were chosen based on its innovation, cost effectiveness, speed/throughput improvements, quality, ease of use, maintainability, and environmental responsibility.

WHY THE MAX-TRAK WON

•Tough: Industry's only NEMA 6/IP67 industrial MFC.

•Compact: Measure & control gas mass flow rates up to 400 slpm in a 5-inch long flow body (Patented Flow Inlet Technology).

•MAXimum Protection: Only fully enclosed valve design in the industry to minimize leak-in paths.

•Only Industrial MFC with Dial-A-Gas, creating great flexibility.

•Sierra has broadest offering of industrial thermal MFM's and MFC's (Both Capillary & Immersible Thermal Technology)

MORE INFORMATION ON THE MAX-TRAK™

Sierra Instruments' Max-Trak™ Model 180 Industrial Flow Controller is the industry's only NEMA 6 (IP67) compliant gas mass flow controller. Made for wash-down environments, the Max-Trak™ features the only fully enclosed valve design to drastically minimize leak-in paths for MAXIMUM protection.

Previously, mass flow controllers have been available with a NEMA 4X or IP65 rating. But, for applications where wash down is necessary, such as in pharmaceutical manufacturing and testing, previous instruments have developed a reputation for leaking. Users reported that the resulting damage frequently left the instruments beyond repair. Sierra Instruments' new Model 180 Max-Trak™ with the higher NEMA 6 (IP67) rating (effectively water-proof) is able to be washed repeatedly with no penetration of water to the sensitive electronics inside.

But Max-Trak™ is more than simply durable. It has an accuracy of +/- 1% of full scale, and a repeatability of +/- 0.2% to ensure process stability under changing conditions. Max-Trak™ also includes Sierra's patented Dial-A-Gas™ technology allowing users to select from up to 10 gases in one instrument—so one device can replace many. Max-Trak™ measures and controls gas mass flow rates from 0 to 200 slpm (up to 400 slpm upon request) in a flow body a little over 5 inches long. For added convenience, the Max-Trak™ includes both digital and analog communication, genuine 50:1 turndown, operation at low differential pressures, and the ability to view and change critical parameters in the field without returning the instrument to a service center.

Now all the modern features of a digital mass flow controller can migrate from the laboratory into harsh industrial environments. From the company with a proven history of industrial thermal mass flow measurement comes an industrial MFC—Max-Trak™!
