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.

There’s more to Protec than the fact that it’s non conductive. It’s also incredibly clean. This may seem a strange boast to anyone involved in heavy industry, but it’s the fact that Protec stays clean which makes it the perfect system for a wide range of additional applications. The food industry, for example, or the retail sector. Heritage and Conservation sites. Situations that have working at height needs, but which also have to think about dust free, hygienic solutions.

Planet Platforms has launched its brand new mobile trailer scissor lift TP9000 to give access users a safe, flexible and truly autonomous machine. Following on from its successful unveiling at 2007's Executive Hire Show, the TP9000 has a host of safety features, options and accessories with the most attractive being 'no need for a trailer for transport'.
