Oil-free condensates and condensates from gas compressors are normally highly aggressive. However, they cannot attack the Bekomat 13 CO PN 40. The excellent corrosion resistance of the device is due to a 50 micron hard coating, which gives a ceramic structure to the surface of its aluminium housing.

The Bekomat 13 CO PN 40 condensate drain is designed for application with compressors up to 30 m

If you want to change your current maintenance reality, you must begin with the basics. One of the cornerstones of a successful maintenance effort is the precise execution of thoughtful, well-written preventive maintenance (PM) procedures. There are several steps that must be followed to ensure that these procedures are as effective as possible.

Step #1: Assessment The first step in the development of an effective PM procedure is to determine the condition of the machine or machine center. You have to know where you are before you can decide where you want to go and how you intend to get there. If the machine is newer equipment, this evaluation should be fairly straightforward. If, however, you are dealing with equipment that has been in service for a period of time or has a history of unreliability, this assessment could be quite a lengthy undertaking. Still, it

Corus Process Engineering (CPE), part of Corus Northern Engineering Services (CNES), has completed a detailed study into the conversion of a water-only cooling system on a steel slab caster in Mexico, into an air mist spray cooling system, enabling the plant to produce higher quality grades of steel, while providing a more efficient cooling method.

The work is being carried out on the number 3 slab caster at Altos Hornos

By carrying out regular condition monitoring checks on critical rotating plant and machinery, Corus Northern Engineering Services (CNES), the maintenance, condition monitoring and engineering services company within Corus Group, has helped a limestone quarry in Cumbria maintain its output, efficiency and profitability.

AGRIEMACH has come up with a Fluid extractor that can truly extract or transfer any fluid, including motor oil, gear lubricant, coolant, water and any other liquid, neatly, powerfully and fast.

The Agriemach Fluid Extractor is not only essential in the workshop, but also ideal for boat, truck and farm equipment operators as well. Designed to be used in inaccessible areas or confined spaces, the extractor features a low profile spherical design with a 6 litre capacity and a handy pouring spout with 5 mm hose to fit down dipstick tubes, and has an unbeatable transfer speed of 4 litres of water per minute.

Agrimach have a simple and inexpensive answer to that problem with the introduction of their new TM series FILTERMAG which stops this problem instantaneously. By attaching either the TM180 or the TM360 to the bottom of the transmission pan, the all powerful NEODYMIUM magnets with a magnetic pull force of 25Ibs, will hold the steel particles in suspension allowing only clean oil to circulate around the transmission.

In recent years a massive rise in the number of

SBES, the lone worker protection specialist, has just completed the installation of its LifeSaver lone worker alarm system at the Synchrotron Radiation Source (SRS) building at Daresbury Laboratory in Cheshire near Warrington. The site is operated by the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils (CCLRC) and is a World class facility that supports the research community by providing access to advanced facilities and extensive scientific and technical expertise.

According to Andy Goulden, an engineer at Daresbury Laboratory, this particular application was unusual as there were two distinct types of lone workers on the site that needed protection. Firstly, there were CCLRC staff who might be working alone on a shift pattern across a 24/7 period. Secondly, there were site
