Enhancing hydraulic filtration with photo-chemical etching
The increasing focus on efficiency and precision has made advanced approaches to designing critical components, like industrial filters, more essential than ever. As systems become more complex in sectors like automotive, aerospace, and chemical processing, the need for highly engineered filters that can meet demanding performance requirements has never been greater. H&P reports.
Investment in a new building
After an intensive planning and construction phase, WEBER-HYDRAULIK has announced it has opened a new chapter at its Constance site: the move to the new, company-owned building in the Reichenau district has been completed. With a modern new building, the company says it is responding to the acute lack of space in its previous premises and creating optimal conditions for further growth and innovative developments. The move was a necessary step in order to meet the targeted growth in valve technology.
How proactive heat transfer fluid maintenance impacts performance
Thermal fluid systems are often perceived as low maintenance because of their stability and reliability, operating effectively a closed-loop system with minimal intervention. However, with rising operational costs, changing environmental regulations and increased competition, uptime and process efficiency are more critical factors than ever. That’s why manufacturers should take proactive steps to maintain their heat transfer fluids and HTF system, says Dave Dyer, technical sales engineer at thermal fluid experts Global Heat Transfer
