Supplying, installing, load testing and LOLER certifying a wide range of manual and powered hoist units, HOIST & WINCH says it has extensive experience and expertise in all kinds of industrial lifting operations. However, certain projects require special know-how, such as the installation of large-capacity, electric-powered wire-rope hoists in challenging and restricted access applications. And yet even in these situations, Hoist & Winch says it has a proven methodology to ensure a high-performance, efficient, safety-certified outcome for customers.
The varied and specialist services available from HOIST & WINCH have come to the rescue of a cement industry customer that was looking to replace a large rotor used in its production process. Thanks to the design, manufacturing, test, certification and installation services offered by Hoist & Winch, the cement works was able to avoid the long lead times associated with buying original OEM equipment, and successfully complete a highly complex and challenging lifting operation.
HI-LINE INDUSTRIES, a UK-based leader in the design, manufacture and installation of energy-efficient compressed air purification equipment, has announced it has appointed Steve Smith as its new managing director. Replacing Mike Thurlow, who has retired, Smith is part of the company’s original team, joining as marketing director in 2000 when the business began trading. He has purchased Thurlow’s 50% share of the business and is now busy making plans to drive even greater success at Hi-line.
Designed according to the profile and performance of the ISO 7241-B standard, in addition to the series in carbon steel and brass (i.e., PBV1-PBVM), DNP says it also has its PBVX series, where couplings are made entirely of AISI 316 stainless steel with springs in AISI 302.
COAX VALVES UK has announced it has introduced the new FMX range of compact, high flow, stainless steel externally controlled valves. With a new unique seat arrangement gives greater flow than comparable valves - features of the valve include:
SICK says as manufacturers face rising energy bills, it has launched the FTMg with Monitoring App, an Industry 4.0 solution that can help them see the data they need to reduce energy consumption through better control of compressed air.
The image shows two sets of ultra-high working pressure (UHP) couplings, in particular 100 MPa for the PCJ5 series and 150 MPa for the PCJ6 series.
CAMOZZI AUTOMATION LTD has announced the launch of its new UK short form catalogue. The company, a leading producer and supplier of components, systems and technologies for the industrial automation, life science and transportation sectors, has released its new catalogue online and in hard copy format.
These 4-line multi-couplings (with ISO 12.5 ¬flat-face couplings and an operating pressure of 35 Mpa) are available in two different variants: the 'PDP4', which is equipped with cartridges (POT4) fixed with an elastic ring, and the 'PDP4 N', which is equipped with cartridges (PDP4) suitable to resist axial stresses, as they are equipped with a backup sleeve for a better fastening.
The PTV1 series is said to be interchangeable with the Parker / Tema T series. It is available in the same sizes as the PTV1 and the performance is the same as well; the only difference is the decompression valve, which allows the connection under residual pressure with one of the two sides. The advantage of these couplings is to have some internal valves designed for a greater flow passage than standard couplings. The female half-coupling is equipped with a locking counter nut in order to prevent accidental disconnections. Moreover, DNP says the Zink-Nickel galvanisation of the surface of these carbon steel couplings guarantees excellent resistance to atmospheric agents. PVC caps and plugs are available as well on request.
For any company looking to improve the life and energy efficiency of its compressed air system, HI-LINE INDUSTRIES now offers its range of class-leading Vertical Air Receivers from stock to help factories and plants quickly take advantage of these innovative devices. Hi-line says its high-quality painted and galvanised vessels are available immediately at extremely competitive prices. Vertical Air Receivers are a type of pressure vessel that receive air from the compressor and hold it under pressure for future use. Storing compressed air allows the system to average the peaks in compressed air demand over the course of a shift, delivering steady air flow. The air in the tank is even available when the air compressor is not running.
