ARC Technologies, is the authorised distributor for ‘Tiger-Vac’ ATEX rated Industrial Vacuum Cleaner Systems for wet or dry recovery. ’ LEGALLY’ Certified for hazardous locations:  Fuel, metal dust, pharmaceutical powder, shooting ranges, flour mills, carbon black, nuclear, etc.

These vacuum cleaner systems are certified for explosion proof / ignition proof hazardous locations by an independent lab and can be used to vacuum up flammable and explosive materials. Qualified for categories 1, 2, & 3 as defined in the ATEX directive 94 / 9 /EC.

BEKO Technologies UK service department has recently won the contract to validate compressed air quality on all co-ordinate measuring machines (CMM’s) at a major aerospace company in Derby.

CMM’s are used to accurately measure manufactured components, vital in an industry such as aero-engines.

Each CMM is protected by a membrane or adsorption dryer, and the new contract involves regular site visits to check and service the dryers and ensure the CMM’s are given the very best quality of compressed air, which is vital for their accurate and reliable function. A complete air quality test is made on each CMM and a report issued to the customer.

BEKO Technologies is further extending its product range by launching their first e-learning course - “The Basics of Compressed Air Technology”. This innovative course is now available to all customers and partners, giving them the chance to share and benefit from BEKO’s vast experience in compressed air.

The course “Basics of Compressed Air Technology” gives an insight into compressed air from the end users point of view.

Michell Instruments’ MDM300 advanced dew-point hygrometer can save engineers weeks of waiting time each year.

Recent research into the operation of Michell Instruments’ ceramic sensor technology has helped the MDM300 provide faster measurements. Dew points as low as -70°C can now be measured accurately in less than 10 minutes – faster in many cases. This super-fast response does not rely on the sensor being dried by a desiccant, which means that every measurement is fast – not just the first of the day – allowing for many more measurements to be taken each day.

To meet new requirements, Airchannel has installed a new CompAir L132 SR Rotary screw compressor at leading technical glassware producer, Potters Ballotini, part of the global Potters Industries group. As the world leader in glass bead impact technology, Potters is continually developing and refining its manufacturing procedures to ensure consistently high quality glass spheres, which are tested to conform to every market specification.

The company recently installed a new bagging line at its Barnsley production facility to handle increased volumes and as a result the air consumption increased from 400 cubic feet per minute (CFM) to 800 CFM. To meet this need, and to maximise efficiency, a new compressed air solution was required.

To help businesses cope with the current tough economic conditions, Airchannel Limited is launching PaySmart, a new way of financing a company’s compressed air needs. As well as new equipment, PaySmart covers the fitting of new pipework and ancillaries along with full installation.

Subject to the package selected, it is backed by a regular programme of maintenance and free on site breakdown cover with a four-hour response time. It allows customers to obtain the latest technology at a fixed cost that is spread equally over between three and five years, avoiding a high capital outlay, and benefits from full tax relief.

INFRARED CAMERAS FOR GAS LEAK DETECTION AND FURNACE INSPECTION.  FLIR GasFindIR revolutionary infrared cameras find greenhouse gas emissions or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and are unbeatable for detecting even the smallest gas leaks.

Visualize Gas Leaks in Real Time

FLIR GF-Series cam

eras are increasingly being adopted by plants across the world for the visualization and documentation of gas leaks. A FLIR gas detection camera can scan large areas rapidly and pinpoint leaks in real time. It is ideal for monitoring plant that is difficult to reach with contact measurement tools and literally thousands of components can be scanned per shift without the need to interrupt the process. It reduces repair downtime and provides verification of the process. And above all it is exceptionally safe, allowing potentially dangerous leaks to be monitored from several meters away.

 

Reforms and changes in the world of standards place new requirements on the construction of machines and controls. But they are also currently a source of uncertainty among mechanical engineers, plant manufacturers and users. These appear to be the reasons why Leuze electronic's safety seminars and standards workshops are always filled to capacity. The interest of the participants is great, and the willingness to partake in discussions is high. This applies not only to the safety seminars, but also, in particular, to the workshops both on the current changes to standards as well on the Safety Engineering Software, Safexpert. And it applies to all event venues, which are spread across all of Germany.

eMaint  understands that selecting a CMMS is just the first step in the process of effectively managing maintenance information. Developing a plan and timeline, configuring the CMMS to meet workflow procedures, and training users are the additional steps that will ultimately lead to a successful implementation of the system.

Simplisys and eMaints personalized approach to service, and dedication to providing exceptional support to its customers, results in high end user satisfaction. This is evident in eMaint’s annual subscription renewal rate for X3, which has averaged 92% over the past 7 years.
