4B Group Launches Nylathane Industrial Elevator Buckets

4B Group Launches Nylathane™ - The Next Generation of Industrial Elevator Buckets. Tough as Nylon - Slick as Urethane.
4B, a world leading supplier of bucket elevator and conveyor components, announces the release of its Nylathane™ line of industrial elevator buckets engineered for maximum durability and efficiency.

Nylathane™ is a high-performance polyamide 6 (Nylon 6) based polymer that is toughened through the addition of an elastomer. Typical applications include ultra-high performance elevator buckets for high impact and high wear resistance industrial applications. Using Nylathane™ in lieu of steel can reduce part weight by as much as 75%. Lighter buckets can prolong the life of costly components such as elevator belting or chain, can help reduce energy consumption of the equipment, and can help improve personnel safety while handling
the parts. Nylathane™ possesses anti-stick properties that help improve bucket fill and discharge efficiency, and static conductive properties that help improve safety when conveying materials that generate combustible dust.

Nylathane™ is available in AA, AC, and MF style buckets and compatible with belt or chain bucket elevators.

Contact 4B for more information on upgrading to Nylathane™.

Elevator handling recycled asphalt planings
Elevator design for recycled asphalt planings (RAP). Recommending speed, power, shaft & casing sizes, and component specs (SPS steel buckets & NBR belting) Challenge Asphalt is made from a mixture of aggregates, binder and filler, and is commonly used in constructing and maintaining roads surfaces. When the surface layer of tarmacked areas is removed, the resulting waste material known as planings, can be recycled and reused. BG Europa Ltd approached 4B Braime requesting technical advice on the manufacture of a new bucket & belt elevator to be installed at an Asphalt plant in South Wales. Although familiar with bucket & chain elevators, the customer had no technical experience with buckets & belts so requested the expertise of 4B Engineers. The bucket elevator would elevate RAP (Recycled Asphalt Planings), and use a belt instead of chain, and standard 4B pressed buckets instead of fabricated buckets commonly used in the construction industry. 4B Braime were asked to provide a design proposal detailing suitable speed, power requirements, shaft & casing sizes, and component specifications to achieve the desired

4B Milli-Temp 4-20 mA Bearing Temperature Sensor (EX) A loop powered analogue sensor with 4-20 mA linear output that is scaled across a temperature range for continuous bearing and surface temperature monitoring.
4B Milli-Temp 4-20 mA Bearing Temperature Sensor (EX)
A loop powered analogue sensor with 4-20 mA linear output that is scaled across a temperature range for continuous bearing and surface temperature monitoring. 4B’s Milli-Temp, a loop powered analogue sensor with a 4-20 mA linear output that is scaled across a temperature range for continuous temperature monitoring - is now also available as an ATEX-certified version. Applicable everywhere The Milli-Temp series can be used on any application where bearing temperature monitoring is needed. The sensor has been designed to allow the depth of the probe to be adjustable depending on the application. This adjustability allows the tip of the probe to be placed in the optimal position for monitoring bearing temperature and also enables verification using the 4B ADB Tester. Using existing grease zerk threads The sensor screws directly into the bearing housing using the threads of the existing grease zerk. The body of the Milli-Temp has an integrated zerk, allowing lubrication of the bearing without the need to remove the sensor. The sensors are supplied with a 3m cable. The connections are not polarity sensitive therefore

IE-Node - the future of hazard monitoring
Utilizing industrial Ethernet and cloud connectivity to share real-time sensor data, alongside historical analytics, with your PLC of choice. 4B’s IE-Node is the future of hazard monitoring. Utilising industrial Ethernet and cloud connectivity to share real-time sensor data, alongside historical analytics, with your PLC of choice — the IE-Node is truly intelligent. Sample code for a variety of PLC brands is available to help you connect your entire system and keep every component in constant communication for unprecedented hazard protection. The IE-NODE operates by reading its sensor inputs and sending processed data when requested by another system (e.g. PLC). The units are equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet socket and supports PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP protocols for easy integration with Siemens, Allen-Bradley Rockwell, Modicon and other PLC’s or automation devices. The IE-NODE’s network configurator software provides a visual view of all devices on the network. It allows for easy identification of each unit on the network and allows for network settings to be changed as needed.
