SEALS DELIVER LONG LIFE
Based on a proprietary and patented crosslinking system that has been developed specifically for the chemical processing industry, DuPont Kalrez Spectrum 7275 seals are reported to exhibit minimal swelling and improved retention of physical properties when exposed to aggressive chemicals such as concentrated nitric acid, organosilanes, chlorosilanes, pure ethylene oxide, butyraldehyde, amines, vinyl monomers and acrylic monomers. Kalrez 7275 seals are available in the UK from authorised distributor DICHTOMATIK.
NORTH AMERICAN SERVICE CENTRE OPENED

HIGH-FLOW ATEX EX100/140 PUMPS
Piusi’s new EX100 and EX140 pumps with ATEX and UL certification, were reportedly developed to meet the specific requirements of various fuel transfer markets and the maximum safety has been applied to these pumps when dealing with potentially explosive atmospheres or flammable fluids.
HAZARDOUS AREA PRESSURE TRANSMITTERS
The AMO M10 is a new low cost industrial pressure transmitter designed for general purpose pressure measurement. BELL FLOW SYSTEMS says this sensor is rugged and durable, providing accurate measurement even under harsh conditions, available in gauge, absolute and sealed gauge versions and the MPM489 model is the ATEX approved version certified to ATEX Exia IIC T4 Ga .
TRAPPED PRESSURE AND QUICK RELEASE COUPLINGS
HOLMBURY says it has been in the business of offering quick release couplings (or “QRC’s”) for over 30 years and has one of the most comprehensive product ranges on the market but recently it discovered a very interesting fact.
Sheet-metal puncher with hydraulic hand pump
CONTA-CLIP now offers a combination of a hydraulic hand pump and sheet-metal punching tool. The company says users can thereby produce break-outs in control cabinets for KDSClick, KDS-FB, KDS-KV, and KES cable entries within a few minutes. The hydraulic hand pump contains no hose and features a user-friendly, compact design.
PINPOINTING COMPRESSED AIR LEAKS
Compressed air systems can lose a significant amount of air through leakage. For example, according to the United States ‘Compressed Air and Gas Institute’ (CAGI), the average compressed air system loses 30% of its air through leaks. Locating those leaks has been a time-consuming and tedious process. The new FLUKE ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager can enable maintenance teams to quickly, and visually, pinpoint the location of compressed air, gas, and vacuum system leaks even during peak production periods. Leaks can be detected in a matter of minutes. More information can be found at www.fluke.co.uk/ii900
THE COSTLY EFFECTS OF MACHINE DOWNTIME
Across the UK, no matter what industry a company specialises in, machine downtime can have a major impact on your business. If you’re not prepared, technical errors in your appliances can bring significant costs to your productivity and impact your business’s profit margin.
PNEUMATIC VERSUS ELECTRIC HOISTS
When considering a new investment in hoist technology, a full comparison between pneumatic and electric hoists can pay real dividends. In short, pneumatic hoists from J D NEUHAUS (JDN) offer numerous advantages over their electric counterparts. The company says in areas such as duty cycle, variable speed control, weatherproofing, installation and operation, maintenance, robustness, investment costs, lifetime costs and of course safety, a JDN pneumatic hoist really makes a difference.
ONLINE MARKETPLACE FOR INDUSTRIAL COMPONENTS
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies says it is creating a turning point in the purchasing of B2B seals and components with its "Industrial Supply and Services" online platform exclusively starting in the UK as the first local market.
ACTIVATED CARBON TOWERS
HI-LINE INDUSTRIES, a leading UK supplier to the compressed air sector, has unveiled a range of Activated Carbon Towers to suit a number of diverse applications, including those involving breathing air equipment or food production, for example. The company says the new carbon towers are manufactured from the same high-quality vessels used for Hi-line’s dryers, and filled with either zeolite minerals or carbon to suit the specific application.
SANITARY SEALS EXCEL
The DuPont Kalrez LS390 series of perfluoroelastomer sanitary seals have been designed specifically for use in sectors that include life science, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical. Kalrez LS390 can provide longer seal life and tighter sealing, which can improve productivity and process optimisation. Moreover, the new seals can create a safer environment in the day-to-day running of process plants and manufacturing facilities.
