TARGO-VENT – Innovative pressure relief minimises dangers and saves space

For the first time, it’s possible to considerably reduce the areas of risk in an economical way in the case of explosion pressure relief. Usually, the explosion pressure wave and flame jets can only be diverted into secure sectors. This represents a considerable danger in areas with traffic routes. Special, expensive safety measures and safety distances are the consequence. This increases operational costs in the company.

As one of the world’s top racing engine design and manufacturers, noise levels in the workplace have always been an issue for Ilmor Engineering.

But when they won a large contract with the US giant General Motors to design and manufacture a new turbo-charged V6 racing engine for the 2012 IndyCar championship, its managers knew immediately this would result in significantly increased production as well as noise levels across the manufacturing and testing departments.

Fischer Connectors extends product range for its rugged connectors for harsh environments

St-Prex, Switzerland, 20 November 2013 – Fischer Connectors, a worldwide leader in circular push-pull connectors, extended its product range for the popular Fischer UltiMate™ Series with the introduction of the size 07. This brand new connector is smaller, more compact and lighter than the current range in the Fischer UltiMate™ Series, but has the same performances as the other sizes in the product line and is therefore perfectly suitable for harsh and extreme environments.

The flowplus16 pressure sensor from Intertronics offers high accuracy monitoring in an innovative design suited to critical dosing and dispensing applications. Accurate in-line pressure sensing can deliver important quality assurance in a whole range of automatic processes; for example, in medical, pharmaceutical and semi-conductor manufacturing, as well as the wider areas of process control. 

An investment of £180,000 in Carbon infra-red (CIR) emitters from Heraeus Noblelight have allowed GI Solutions to achieve the rapid drying of water-based inks at line speeds of up to1000 ft/min (300m/min) on printing machines at their Leicester factory.

Carbon infra-red (CIR) emitters from Heraeus Noblelight are helping Polyflor of Manchester to ensure perfect gelling of PVC applied to a substrate before the web is further processed under an oil-heated chrome drum. The installation has prevented un-gelled PVC from running off the edges of the substrate, saving product as well as eliminating process and maintenance problems.

The rigorous demands on industrial equipment are even more so in cold-weather climates and studies have proven, the majority of engine mechanical wear, almost 90%, occurs at startup. At first crank of the engine, all the oil is in the sump and at the first rotation of the crankshaft the bearings, and all galleys are dry causing metal-to-metal contact to occur damaging the engine over its lifetime. In cold weather  prelube helps to circulate the thick oil prior to cranking. 

Towcester – UK – October 2013: Variohm EuroSensor’s new VLPSC linear position sensor adds integrated signal conditioning electronics with an autosensing 0 -10 VDC or 4..20 mA proportional digital output in a tried and tested design based on its flagship VLP series potentiometric output sensors. The digital signal conditioner offers a 12-bit resolution with linearity to 0.1% and excellent repeatability in a choice of nine standard measurement ranges from 25 to 290 mm.
