Goudsmit Magnetics has recently joined the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) being the first magnetic supplier. A consortium of equipment manufactures, food industries, research institutes as well as public health authorities. It was founded to promote hygiene during the processing and packaging of food products. The company will introduce a new series of magnetic systems on the market which will fulfill all the EHEDG standards. At the “CFIA” Trade Fair in Rennes (Hal 5 - D28/E31), for example, Goudsmit will introduce a recently developed fast-cleaning clean flow magnet that reaches a magnetic field of 10,700 Gauss on the bars in the product. The magnet system removes iron particles and weak magnetic particles from powdery substances (e.g. milk powder, sugar and flour). With the application of a new generation of Neoflux® magnets, it is also possible to capture weak magnetic particles such as 304 stainless steel. Because the grill of this…

Antistatic, microbe-resistant and hardly inflammable. More advantages for users. The multifunction hose from Masterflex already proved itself last year to be a winner for users with its unique combination of antistatic capability and microbe resistance, which had never before been achieved. Thanks to combining these two additional characteristics, extremely important for a spiral hose, the Masterflex range overview was simplified, item availability was upgraded, and choosing the product and placing the order improved. And now Masterflex is going one better. From now on the hose is being enhanced with another, third characteristic which ensures flame resistance in accordance with DIN 4102 B1 – and at no extra cost. Masterflex is the only German manufacturer to offer a hose made of polyester-polyurethane (PU) which combines these three properties. The improved hose range is immediately available under the name Master-PUR Trivolution and in varying degrees of wall thickness. Previously customers had to decide which of the different additional…

SMC, the world’s leading pneumatics provider, has launched a two in one tube that is capable of transferring chemicals effectively, providing customers with a complete solution in terms of durability and design flexibility. The double layered TQ Series has an internal fluoropolymer layer that is highly chemical resistant to a vast range of products and an external abrasion resistant nylon resin, prolonging the tube’s operating life. The internal structure of the tube also has an exceptionally smooth surface finish, effectively washing away fluid residue and reducing the amount of cleaning solvents required, all leading to sustained cost savings. Another design feature of the TQ Series sees both layers being extruded together, removing the need for peeling and offering a quick and easy assembly. The TQ can fit tight narrow spaces and is ideal for applications such as transferring ink to a printer, cleaning solvent to a washing machine and bonding agent or lubricating…
