Whether in a workplace or public environment, the importance of people’s safety should always be a top priority.

There are various areas that can become slippery and dangerous when in contact with water and other liquids such as production floors, ramps, stairs, loading bays and walkways. These areas can present serious injuries and costly repercussions if not treated with proper care and responsibility. In Great Britain alone, there were over 69,208 employee non-fatal injuries reported by employers in 2018/19 (RIDDOR). From that figure, 29% of those incidents were categorized as slips, trips or falls on the same level. 

C.K, the leading brand from Carl Kammerling International, has been at the forefront of quality hand tool manufacturing for many years and is set to strengthen its range of Pry Bar products with the new Japanese Pry Bar 10” (T4312), a handy tool bag sized addition for easy transportation. 

This premium quality Japanese Pry Bar features a 46mm wide tip for precise removal with minimal damage of mouldings, skirting boards, cavity wall nails and is also perfect for quickly prising apart floor boards and other materials. 

Beha-Amprobe has introduced new ultrasonic diagnostic tools for HVAC/R, mechanical and electrical inspection and troubleshooting, the Beha-Amprobe ULD-400-EUR Series Ultrasonic Leak Detectors.

Combining advanced filtering technology with wide ultrasonic frequency response, the ULD-400-EUR Series allows users to quickly and easily locate gas leaks in the most noisy and challenging environments. They are ideal for testing compressed air systems, plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems, valves tanks and pipes, heat exchangers, boilers and condensers, air conditioning and refrigeration systems, and motors and machinery. 

Celeros Flow Technology has been launched as a standalone company following the divestiture by SPX FLOW, Inc. of its Power & Energy division to an affiliate of funds managed by private equity company Apollo Global Management, Inc. 

Commenting on the launch of the new company José Larios, CEO of Celeros Flow Technology, says:

“Celeros Flow Technology has been established with the objective of radically altering the flow technology landscape. Our aim is to serve as a full-lifecycle optimization partner and as an experienced advisor to our customers on all matters concerning the world’s critical flow systems. 

Hereford Glass Fibre was founded in 1986 and began by manufacturing seagoing expedition and sprint racing kayaks. Since then the company has continued to diversify into closed mould technology including resin transfer moulding (RTM) processes, Vacuum Assist Resin Injection (VARI), Vacupress (vacuum closed moulding) and polyurethane foam systems.

Due to the nature of their work, HGF use a range of flammable liquids and resins in the manufacturing processes and because of risks associated with these liquids, they went to the market and sought suppliers with the credentials to provide a fully compliant storage unit to meet their specific requirements, and to that end chose Empteezy.

MSC Industrial Supply Co. (MSC), a leading national supplier of metalworking and maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) products and services, has been appointed by Tenmat Advanced Materials (Tenmat), a global manufacturer of high-performance advanced materials and components. 

Within the five-year contract, MSC will supply a range of commodities including tooling, PPE and general consumables, alongside ongoing engineering support, supply chain consolidation, vending solutions and the delivery of a cost-saving programme. 

Leading research materials supplier, Goodfellow, is showing support to several initiatives in the fight against COVID-19, supplying materials that are being used to make protective equipment for frontline workers. 

Their latest donation has seen the company donate 130 kilos of polypropylene coil to Stamford School in Lincolnshire, UK, where Design Technology teachers are voluntarily manufacturing 1,000 protective face masks a day. The school is contributing to the national effort to increase the availability of PPE for frontline NHS (UK National Health Service) staff.

Zero cogging direct drive motors are providing smooth motion control for OEMs of scanning, pointing, measuring and cutting machines. In the UK, INMOCO is distributing Celera Motion’s Agility Series compact frameless motors. These motors achieve high accuracy, continuous motion profiles that are required in medical, scientific, industrial and microelectronic applications.

Agility Series brushless motors deliver zero cogging, low torque ripple, and minimal vibration, which creates smooth velocity control and high accuracy positioning. Featuring a slotless profile, this removes the cogging jerk associated with slotted motors and instead, provides highly controlled torque flow. 

DHD Cooling, working with Galebreaker, is constantly expanding its range of wind and weather protection systems to meet the many challenges in the power and industrial sectors. 

As the market leader in weather protection systems Galebreaker continues to develop CFD modelling techniques that can accurately model entire air cooled power plants to determine the right position and porosity of wind reduction systems. These solutions have not only improved thermal efficiency of power plants but also protect mechanical equipment from wind induced vibrations, so reducing downtime and improving mechanical performance.

Mark donoghue, director at dhd cooling illustrates how cooling towers can be fine-tuned for improved performance and cost savings

Cooling tower OEMs often assemble their systems from a collection of components manufactured by multiple suppliers selected to meet both technical and commercial challenges to create a bespoke range of cooling towers.
