In this digital age, dialling a number and putting a phone to your ear can seem antiquated.   Why talk, when the internet has all the answers, right?  But, David Lenehan of global spare parts and repairs provider Northern Industrial argues, sometimes Google is not all-knowing – especially in a complex breakdown situation.

Chemical etching is a metal machining technology that has numerous advantages over traditional sheet metalworking processes, key among which is its applicability to a range of metals and alloys — even ones that are difficult or even impossible to machine using traditional metal fabrication technologies.

Many users of compressed air in rural or remote areas have for a long time been hindered in the use of a most valuable power source simply because they do not have access to a three-phase power supply. This means that equipment and machinery must normally be run from a 230V, single phase power supply which usually means the size of electric motor utilised on any equipment including air compressors is limited. The options available to such users, has till now been very limited, which means that the air compressor often used is too small or that multiple compressors are needed to satisfy demand, which would routinely result in higher costs, increased maintenance, poor air quality and reduced reliability.

Rulmeca Germany presents its completely renewed TM400 motorized pulley generation at Bauma. Thanks to optimized components, the new motorized pulleys with a diameter of 400 millimeters are significantly more energy-efficient and service-friendly while offering even greater robustness and therefore plant uptime. Designed for the transport of bulk materials, the new motorized pulleys suit applications across many sectors – from light-duty belt conveyor systems in recycling, such as conveyors passing under magnetic separators; to medium-duty conveyor belts for mobile and stationary crushers, screeners and conveyors in the asphalt, cement and concrete industries as well as salt, sand and gravel works; to bulk material conveyors for the transport of grain and fertilizers.
