Industrial process equipment suitable for your production line

Published: 7th August 2025 | Issue 100 Share article:

Industrial process equipment is used in many sectors including mobile hydraulics, water treatment, chemical industry, pneumatics, cooling systems and medical gas systems. 

Industrial equipment should be robust, long-lasting and the correct material. These components must be able to withstand harsh conditions and all types of media. 

Good quality industrial products comply with industrial regulations and approvals such as ATEX, IECEX, DNV, HAT, SIL, PED and MID. 

Let’s turn to some of the equipment that is essential for the smooth running of an industrial production line. 

Flow sensor

A flow sensor records the measurement of flow velocity, temperature, and volume of liquid media. 

6 reasons why we recommend a OMNIPLUS thermal flow sensor 

  1. Three measurement variables in a single device
  2. Reliability with the wear-free measuring principle
  3. Fast response times
  4. IO-Link
  5. Easy-to-read display
  6. Configurable for every purpose

Flow switches 

Flow switches increase system safety and protection and are used in applications like industrial washing machines, self-service car washes, refrigeration, and hydraulic applications. They can be used on water, oil and aggressive media. 

You may require a specific type of flow switch like paddle or piston. Flow switches are available in various materials. 

Flow meters 

Flow meters measure flow velocity and volume flow. A number of different ones are available so there will be a flow meter to suit your requirements. 

When you require an accurate volume calculation, the right flow meter can provide accurate measurements. 

You may require a flow sensor with no moving parts or a flow sensor for large pipe dimensions. Or a compact flow sensor in other materials which suit different types of media. 

Industrial DIN connectors  

Industrial cable connectors, otherwise known as DIN connectors, are used to provide an electrical connection to your flow monitor, solenoid valves and pressure monitors and sensors. 

Use connectors with IP67 sealing properties and cable retention to increase performance and make manufacturing simple.

Ensure the connector protects against dust and water ingress. 

Choose connectors depending on the cable material and length appropriate for the application. 

Industrial valves  

A wide range and variety of industrial valves can be used on your production line. They control the critical flow of air, gas, water, oil and steam and are key components of a production line. 

Valves used in the industrial sector must be able to handle the most challenging conditions. For example, you may use angle seat and motorised valves for automotive and wastewater management, or you may require solenoid valves that are explosion-proof in hazardous environments.
