New Sizes and Styles now available 4B’s forged chain is machined to precise tolerances and heat treated to endure high temperature and highly abrasive applications. Made from the best materials, 4B’s drop forged chain also maintains the highest tensile test results on a consistent basis. In addition to the popular 102, 142, 216 and 260 mm chain pitches together with accessories to suit, 4B now manufactures 125, 150, 160, 175, 200 and 250 mm chain pitches as well. For specialized, high capacity applications, 4B also offers double and triple chain links. New sizes on request. 4B"s drop forged conveyor chain has been used in the following industries: Commercial Grain Terminals, Commercial Grain Processing, Oils, Sweeteners, Ethanol, Flour, Feeds, Dewatered Sewage Sludge, Incineration, Calcined Petroleum Coke, Calcined Limestone, Calcium Carbonate, Calcined Zinc, Raw Gypsum (and DSG), Coal and Coal Ash, General Ash Handling, Refuse Incineration, Refuse Ash, Cement Clinker, Meal and Portland…

Radiation-based process measurement technology from VEGA offers great measure of user convenience. Under extreme process conditions, many measuring techniques quickly reach their limits. Not so with ProTrac, the new development from VEGA: this radiation-based measuring instrument is completely unaffected by high vessel pressures, aggressive media, extreme temperatures or difficult physical characteristics of the product. Because, ProTrac measures contactlessly right through vessel walls with the help of gamma radiation. With the development of ProTrac, VEGA has set new standards of reliability and safety in radiation-based measurement: with regard to the sensitivity of detectors and the quality of source holders. All ProTrac sensors were developed in compliance with the strict specifications of IEC/EN 61508 and fulfil the highest requirements. VEGA is the first supplier of SIL-qualified measuring instruments for radiation-based level, limit level, density, interface and mass flow measurement. In addition, all ProTrac sensors have an ingenious asset management…

Since the beginning of September four trainees take the first steps into profesional life at UWT`s Besides training for commercial professions UWT offers now for the first time the possibility to get training also for industrial as well as technical jobs. The production department trains a cutting machine operator and two other trainees will become draughtsmen. Another girl will be an industrial clerk. The training for all four started with an introductional week including as a highlight a visit to a silo installation.

Introduction of the direct driven industrial piston compressors Many companies have a low compressed air demand, that also varies between 0 and 100%. In that case it is very important to choose the right compressor to do the job. When the compressor stops several times during the day and cools down, than a screwcompressor is not the right choice. Because condensate is falling down in the oilreservoir and oil-water emulsions starts to happen and will clog the filters. This will result in a high maintenance-level. The solution for this problem is to use an industrial piston compressor. It has no oilcirculation system and will not have the described problems. The new Blocair series piston compressors has following range: BL: one-stage compressors oillubricated, power from 1,5 to 3 kW. workingpressure 10 bar BH: two-stage compressors oillubricated, power from 1,5 to 4 kW, workingpressure from 10 to 15 bar BK: two-stage oilfree compressors, power from 1,1 to 4 kW, workingpressure 10 bar These compressors are suitable…

The Masterflex AG offers a special line of hoses specifically tailored to the municipal requirements of leaf and lawn collection. The hoses meet the specific requirements in providing optimized abrasion resistance and anti-microbial protection. Master-PUR hoses come in various diameters and feature a virtually smooth bore that helps minimise turbulences of the collected material while producing best suction performance and outstanding abrasion characteristics. This translates into benefits for the customer, i.e. longer service life, reduced set-up times and thus cost savings. A unique manufacturing method allows full incorporation of the metal helix into the hose wall, making it resistant to torsion and displacement. This prevents the wire from chafing against the hose wall and profile distortions even at extreme bend radii. Moreover, the highly flexible Master-PUR hoses are also easy to handle due to their light weight. The polyurethane hose types are…
