Unitemp appointed as TexmateNZ distributor
June 2010
News
TexmateNZ, a manufacturer of intelligent control systems, has appointed Unitemp as sole distributor for sub-Saharan Africa. Founded in 1976, Texmate was formed to design and supply its own brand of programmable controllers for the American instrumentation markets. More than 30 years on, it is now a global supplier of branded and customised electronic controllers.
Anthony Glucina, CEO of TexmateNZ, in South Africa recently to conclude the agreement and to provide technical training for the Unitemp team, says: “Our equipment covers fully programmable process controllers for the automation of small processes where a cost-effective solution with minimum setup and programming is required. It is ideal where flexibility is needed without having to resort to PLCs.”
“It complements our product offering extremely well and will be particularly attractive to the original equipment manufacturers building weighing systems, packaging equipment and for filling applications,” says Dieter Bütow, sales and marketing director of Unitemp.
Texmate offers both smart off the shelf process controllers with pre-programmed intelligence as well as a modular system that will allow Unitemp to adapt the program to the application. Controllers with real-time logging are available to track and record the process events. The real-time clock also allows timed start-ups and shutdowns to ease operator control.
Besides the process controllers, Unitemp will also launch Texmate’s range of process transmitters, isolators, loop-powered indicators, data-loggers and customised equipment for OEMs. In due course Zigby wireless units with Modbus capability will also be available.
