Enerpac ML40 Mini Lift Gantry: A Compact Way to Move Machinery and Equipment in Hard-to-Access Spaces

Enerpac announces the ML40 Mini Lift Gantry with 40-ton lifting capacity. Designed to be portable, simple to set up, and easy to use, it is the ideal solution for machinery movers, plant relocation services and medical equipment installers who need to move machines and equipment in compact spaces.

Machinery Relocation

When moving machines or parts of machines either within the same building or to another building, space is always limited. The ML40 Mini Lift Gantry has a compact size ideal for moving equipment around old installations. Its short, collapsed height (1.97m) and narrow width (750mm) means the ML40 Mini Lift Gantry can get into spaces that other equipment cannot. The gantry can also rotate the load (up-end or down-turn) to move through the building. 

Machinery Installation or Replacement

When performing a new equipment installation or the removal and installation of equipment for maintenance or repair, industrial movers are often faced with minimal headroom and many obstacles. The ML40 Mini Lift Gantry makes it easy to offload the equipment from the delivery vehicle and re-position it for use in the facility. Additionally, it makes it easy to assemble the equipment in sections and then move it as a complete unit into final position. When replacing old equipment, disassembly in sections may be easiest method of removal. The small size of the ML40 Mini Lift Gantry makes it easier to mobilise and set up. 

Medical Equipment Installation

Installing medical equipment typically involves difficult access within the hospital. Medical equipment is often delicate and needs smooth, even lifting. Standard synchronised lifting on the ML40 prevents damage to equipment. The compact size of the ML40 Mini Lift Gantry is also a critical feature. It is easy to transport and fits into most freight elevators. Single phase voltage 115 or 230 VAC operation eliminates need for long, high voltage power connections or noisy generators.

ML40 Mini Lift Gantry – powerful lifting capability

When it comes to safety, the ML40 Mini Lift Gantry features standard synchronised lifting and control and load readout to ensure safe and level lifting. A wireless pendant keeps the operator away from equipment during operation. The ML40 is also versatile. Its high capacity and simple set up mean even jobs with challenging or uncertain information can be managed without issue. It is also easy to use. A simple set up means even relatively new rigging operators can operate the equipment.

ML40 Mini Lift Gantry has 40 ton capacity (4 legs) in all three lifting stages. It is 750 mm wide, 1.97 m collapsed height and 5.5 m extended height. Each leg weighs 1350 kg with oil. The ML40 uses an industry standard 610mm (24-inch) track gauge, and can be operated without support track with considerations for load and ground conditions. It uses the same accessories as the Enerpac SL100 gantry such as track, header beam and side shifts. For ease of deployment, the ML40 Mini Gantry features freewheel operation for transportation and set up, and a roll cage for overhead lifting and/or towing and pushing for installation.

SGS Certifying the Next Generation of Air Conditioning Equipment with Panasonic nanoe™ X Technology

 

Indoor air quality is now acknowledged as an important part of health and safety for schools, hospitals, hotels, theatres, restaurants, etc. SGS has been helping Panasonic performance test its latest nanoe™ X technology enhanced air quality equipment for large public spaces. 

Changing concerns about air quality

Prior to COVID-19, most consumers thought about internal air quality in terms of keeping poor quality external air from entering their building. This changed with the pandemic. The risk of airborne transmission of the SARS-Cov-2 virus through aerosols meant we all became cognizant of the importance of air quality in terms of agents such as bacteria, viruses, odors, allergens and pollen.

Indoor air quality has therefore become a Health and Safety consideration. Businesses and organizations that require large groups of people to congregate in one enclosed place now need to proactively consider air quality or risk a reduction in their viability.

Air quality matters

The American Lung Association estimates the average adult male consumes 2,000 gallons (roughly 9,092 liters) of air a day – ten times what we consume in food and water.[1] If that air is poor quality, it can lead to headaches, fatigue, allergic reactions, sinusitis, respiratory issues, eye irritation and asthma. Indoor air must therefore be clean, clear and low in bacteria and viruses.

Good indoor air quality also helps to keep rooms cleaner and fresher. By removing gaseous impurities and pollutants such as smoke, pollen and dust from the atmosphere, we can ensure they do not adhere to surfaces and penetrate fabrics.

The traditional solution of opening a window may not always be sufficient or practical – it may be too cold outside or there could be smoke or smog. When this happens, consumers need to access an air quality system that does more than simply circulate air. Instead, it must also have the ability to remove particulates, odors, viruses, bacteria, etc.

This problem becomes even more difficult to solve if the room with poor quality air is large.  

Hydroxyl radicals

Hydroxyl radicals are molecules that readily react and capture elements like hydrogen. Hydroxyl radicals therefore have the potential to inhibit the activity of pollutants, breaking them down and neutralizing their unpleasant effects. They are, in effect, nature’s detergent.

However, hydroxyl radicals are inherently unstable and have a lifespan of less than one second. It has therefore been impossible to use this naturally occurring process indoors… until now.

nanoe™ X

Panasonic has now found a way to utilize hydroxyl radicals in air quality systems. Its nanoe™ X technology collects invisible moisture that is present in the air and then applies a high voltage to it to release the hydroxyl radicals.

Using this process, the lifespan and therefore effectiveness of the hydroxyl radical is significantly extended – from less than a second to around 10 minutes.[2] This means the hydroxyl radical’s ability to inhibit bacteria, viruses, molds, allergens, pollens, odors and other substances can now be effectively utilized in larger areas.

The hydroxyl radicals contained in the moisture generated by nanoe™ X are also very small –  5~20nm. This means they can easily penetrate deeply into fabrics within a room to help deodorize them.

Because nanoe™ X technology uses a natural process to clean and deodorize, it is safe, effective and does not require the spreading of harmful chemical particles across a room.

SGS testing solution

When Panasonic needed a TIC company to identify and certify its nanoe™ X equipped air conditioning units, they chose SGS. SGS has been at the forefront of performance testing and certification for air cleaners and antivirus products for several years and its experts actively support IEC in standardization for air cleaners.

Testing air quality systems and their ability to inhibit viruses and remove odors in large public areas meant the creation of a special new test environment. To ensure data accuracy, this needed to conform to 32 strict test requirements.

SGS then used recognized test protocols relating to Escherichia coli bacteriophage MS2 to test the technology’s virus inhibiting capabilities. Phage cloth strips were placed in the appointed positions within the 52m2/139m3 test room. Once the air conditioning unit was turned on, these strips were subjected to observation over a number of time slots. The results were then compared to natural reduction. It was shown that nanoe™ X effectively inhibited 98.81% of viruses on surfaces.  

The same nanoe™ X air conditioning configuration was also used to evaluate odor removing capabilities, with a control being set up using the same room configuration, temperature and humidity. Seven assessors with the required olfactory skills then scored the resulting room smells after 30 minutes. The results showed the room using nanoe™ X technology was 1.7 levels different to the control, leading to the conclusion that nanoe™ X was more effective at removing difficult odors.  

Working in collaboration with Panasonic on its new nanoe™ X technology represents a step forward in air quality and anti-virus testing for SGS. The company has been able to break new ground in terms of testing large areas, creating effective solutions that allow companies to demonstrate the efficacy of their equipment for large public areas.

SOCOTEC UK Provides temporary Monitoring System for Railway Assets

SOCOTEC.jpg

 SOCOTEC UK’s Monitoring team were approached to provide a temporary/rental system to monitor the railway assets adjacent to the temporary works on a railway bridge, located on River Way, Harlow, Essex. The client, Essex Highways, and Network Rail required assurance that any structural movements were in-line with predicted ground movements and that any significant movement trends could be identified at an early stage.

SOCOTEC UK’s Monitoring team proposed a monitoring system that included 75m of track tilts installed at 3m c/c spacing on each line, critical rail thermometers, both tilt and vibration monitoring on the bridge piers, and tilt monitoring on the surrounding OHLE supports. SOCOTEC’s scope also included baseline and close-out track geometry surveys, with additional surveys as required if any significant movement had been detected by the automated system. This provided further assurance to the client and Network Rail that all movements were being accurately reported.

The installation works and initial track geometry survey were completed over a single possession lasting 5.5 hours. The data was hosted online, giving the client and Network Rail live access to the data and direct email alerts if any trigger values were exceeded throughout the duration of works.

SOCOTEC UK’s temporary monitoring system provided assurance to the client and Network Rail that any structural movements were in-line with predicted ground movements and that any significant movement trends could be identified at an early stage. This allowed for quick response times and corrective action if needed, minimising potential downtime or disruptions to train services.

SOCOTEC UK’s monitoring system provided effective and reliable monitoring of railway assets adjacent to a temporary worksite. The automated system allowed for a quick and accurate reporting of any significant movement trends, providing assurance to the client and Network Rail that their assets were being monitored and protected.

Fluke offers free demos, “live” fiber detectors and expert advice to help users make optimal fiber testing choices

Fluke Networks is offering users of fiber optic networks free expert advice, free demos, a cashback offer and free FiberLert live fiber detectors with the aim of helping customers choose the optimal fiber testing solution for their application.

The electronic test and measurement specialist is making this offer in recognition of the increasing preference to use fiber optics for mission-critical links in data centers, networks serving campuses over long distances and backbones in and between buildings. This substantial expansion of the fiber optics market has made it more crucial than ever that users choose the correct fiber test and troubleshooting solution for their installation.

Fluke Networks believes those who are not sure about which fiber testing methodology to use – or want to know more about fiber testing best practices in general – will benefit from an appointment with an expert from the company who will provide free consultation as well as possibly deliver a demonstration on how to determine what the best, most reliable and most cost-effective fiber test solution is for their application.

Those partaking in a demo will receive a free FiberLert detector and a cashback offer to use against buying selected Fluke fiber testers between the 1st March and the 31st July 2023. A free, downloadable fiber selection guide is available.

Robert Luijten, Technical Expert and Training Manager at Fluke Networks said, “Now that fiber is increasingly preferred in the marketplace for use with innovative technologies that support exploding bandwidth demands, it is essential that network professionals make sure they use the best fiber testing solution. We want to give them the maximum level of support in that process and believe our free advice, demo and testing equipment will go a long way to achieving that goal.”

Performance characteristics

Expert advice will focus on various scenarios, such as ensuring performance characteristics of a fiber installation comply with such industry standards as ISO/IEC 14763-3, TIA-568-C or EN50173. Fluke would recommend an optical loss test using equipment like its CertiFiber Pro set which improves the efficiency of fiber optics certification. Benefits of using this optical loss test set with wizard-guided set-up include being able to test a fiber TX/RX pair at two wavelengths in under 3 seconds, test both cores bi-directionally in under 10 seconds, and eliminate negative loss errors by ensuring the correct reference setting is used. Built on the Versiv platform, the CertiFiber Pro set offers multi-mode dual wavelength and single-mode dual wavelength in the same unit. It also provides merged Tier 1 (basic) and Tier 2 (extended) testing and reporting when paired with Fluke’s OptiFiber Pro optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR).

A combination of fiber end-face inspection and OTDR is ideal for users investigating a fault or sub-optimal performance in a fiber installation, says Fluke. The OptiFiber Pro OTDR family provides multiple wavelengths (850nm, 1300nm, 1310nm, 1490nm, 1550nm and 1625nm) to support LAN, data centers, passive optical networks (PONs), fiber in the loop (FTTx) and outside plant applications. Other features include Intelligent Autotest which senses fiber characteristics and adjusts output for maximum resolution, while EventMap automatically identifies connectors, splices, bends and splitters. Also, a SmartLoop function reduces Tier 2 certification times by enabling a fiber pair to be certified (testing from one end) in no more than 30 seconds.

End-face inspection

Fluke experts stress that checking fiber end faces for cleanliness and condition is critical, regardless of what other testing may be carried out. End-face inspection confirms that every fiber connection is clean and undamaged, ensuring maximum possible performance. Typically, inspection cameras such as Fluke’s FI-3000 FiberInspector Ultra or FiberInspector Pro are able to provide total visibility with live view from a 32-core MPO connector end-face to a single-core end-face. In particular, the Ultra features a multiple autofocus/auto-centering camera for real-time imaging and offers the ability to obtain automated pass/fail results within seconds.

Documentation and Data Consolidation

Depending on the modules that are inserted in the mainframe, a Versiv transforms itself into a copper cable tester (DSX CableAnalyzer), fiber loss/length tester (CertiFiber Pro), an OTDR (OptiFiber Pro) or with a camera into a fiber inspection instrument (FI-3000 FiberInspector Ultra or FiberInspector Pro), all with a common user interface.

This is unique in the industry and results in great productivity enhancements.

Now being able to operate different testers with a common user interface is great but what perhaps is even more important that the measurement data gathered by all these different testers can be easily consolidated in a single PDF report by LinkWare PC and/or the LinkWare Live cloud srvice.

Fluke’s free fiber testing guide can be downloaded here and a demo booked here.

Better comms with supply chain can help beleaguered water industry

According to leading pump and mixer manufacturer, Landia, there is support for the call by a water company boss for organisations to engage with the public more to address unfair criticisms. However, it believes that there are significant improvements that the industry could implement from within to change negative perceptions that people currently have of the water industry.

Regarding the recent keynote speech made by Yorkshire Water’s chief executive, Nicola Shaw at British Water’s Better Together event, Landia’s Paul Davies said:

”It is true and a shame that the water industry receives so much stick at the moment, especially when plant operators do a fantastic job that is pretty much taken for granted by the public.

“Nicola Shaw is quite right that we as an in industry must be ‘championing the role we play in the environment’ – and much as solar and offshore wind is important, the national consumer media seems completely blind, for example, to great biogas plants such as Scottish Water’s Nigg, and Yorkshire Water’s Energy and Recycling Facility in Huddersfield. Why are we ignored? Is ‘sludge’ simply not a fluffy enough image?”

He added: “The supply chain can play its part in changing criticisms, but to bring us all together, the industry could, for starters, ask important specification questions such as:

  1. How long will the equipment last?
  2. What is its environmental impact?
  3. When the equipment reaches the end of its useful life, can it be reused or recycled?

“At the moment, there isn’t one word on a tender document about the environment or carbon footprint. It is not a good example to keep purchasing the cheapest, sometimes nastiest equipment, especially when some of it contains single-use-plastic. When you specify a large, non-recyclable plastic propeller, are you happy that it will end up being buried in the ground? Is that in keeping with the environmental claims made on your website amid photos of butterflies and sunflowers?”

He continued: “Ask the vast majority of suppliers what it’s like to try to provide genuine innovation to the water industry, or just proven, ‘top quality’, long-lasting equipment, and they will inevitably groan. Often, they’re exhausted by endless, meaningless meetings. Climate emergency doesn’t seem terribly urgent for some in purchasing.

“That said, we in the supply chain are seeing some very encouraging signs of late, with new projects and retrofits. Many of those frustrating barriers are being taken down by young and older engineers with genuine vision, concern for the environment, and a clear picture of equipment’s total cost of ownership.

“So yes, let’s work together, as Yorkshire Water’s Chief Executive said, with better communication and engagement to change the criticisms of public perception’, but let’s get our own house in order too. We need more open-ness, directness and better communication. This will allow operators to be able to do the best possible job in protecting our environment”.
