ATEX certified semi-automatic liquid filling systemWeightron Bilanciai Ltd have installed a bespoke ATEX certified semi-automatic liquid filling system at Leighs Paints’ plant in Bolton. Based around two articulated arm gravimetric filling machines, the installation is helping the company keep up with demand for its extensive range of industrial paints.
Sanitary pumps, sanitary drum and bin unloaders and pressure washersAny food or pharmaceutical manufacturing company will be aware of the stringent standards laid down by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the modern world, quite rightly dictated by a culture of health and safety, processors will ignore the rules at their peril because, given the chance, a wide range of micro-organisms such as e-coli, salmonella and a regime of other germs alongside food residue particles will harbour on the cleanest surfaces and within fine creases and corners of steel fabrications.
A new brochure issued by John Crane has focussed attention on the expanding range of advanced hydrodynamic bearings which the company offers. These bearings are able to satisfy the most stringent of today’s performance requirements and complement John Crane’s wider offering to the global rotating equipment market. That offering also includes mechanical seals, fluid control systems, power transmission couplings and advanced filtration systems.
Sealless drum pumps is designed for light to medium dutyIn many liquids handling applications, especially those occurring in surface treatment and finishing processes, safe and efficient transfer of acids, chemicals and corrosives from tanks, drums and carboys is best achieved using a drum pump. Finish Thompson are acknowledged as a leading manufacturer of these type of pumps and their new EF Series is claimed to be the most competitively priced and highest quality drum pump in its class.
And this isn't even scratching the surface. So clearly radio technology is permeating all facets of life and makes us wonder what we would have done without it!
We as consumers now take this for granted. We think nothing of what really operates the keyfob for our cars, the wireless controller
As product designs evolve through functional enhancements or obsolescence, accelerated life testing plays an increasingly important role in assuring reliability where conventional field proven data does not exist.
As part of an on-going series of technical training seminars, TRaC hosted a successful HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing) and HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screening) training day to a wide section of the defence land system community in May, ranging from the MOD, prime contractors through to LRU manufacturers.

As a reliability tool, HALT is rapidly emerging in military land systems as a recognised means to dramatically cut equipment development timescales through a process of accelerated aging. This
