The contract involved the installation of four Speedor Storms and four Hart roller shutters, three of them insulated.

Gordon Kipling, Hart’s North East’s sales manager, says the contract was for work at Nissan’s on-site plastics processing plant. “Working in a “live” environment has been challenging, with time pressured dates for certain parts of the project,” says Mr Kipling.

A Texas refinery achieves improved performance from API barrel pump with an ROI of just 35 days

Productivity targets are a key performance measure in any process industry and the refining business is no exception. Increasing output from a large refinery to meet market demand does present its challenges, however, dealing with the pumps does not need to be one of them. Sulzer has proved that a retrofit can provide the most cost-efficient solution, when carried out by a provider with the right design experience and manufacturing expertise.

Pointfuse is helping engineers design and develop an electric plane that will take part in the Air Race E competition later this year. The world’s first electric air race will see eight international teams, including Canada based Team Outlaw, simultaneously race electric aircraft around a 5km circuit, just 10 meters above the ground and at speeds of up to 450kmh. Using as-built plans created from laser scanned data and processed using Pointfuse, Team Outlaw are planning to replace the traditional motor with a battery powered electric unit before competing in the race which is described as NASCAR in the air.

To help landlords and installers comply with Building Regulations, Elta Fans has expanded its de-centralised mechanical extract ventilation (dMEV) fan range with the introduction of the MORI dMEV II 150HT.

Elta Fans’ dMEV range provides ultra-quiet, low-energy ventilation for use in kitchens, utility rooms, bathrooms, shower rooms, en-suites and toilets. These continuously running units are designed to provide improved performance over intermittent extract fans for the existing homes market, as they are able to provide a guaranteed ventilation rate and do not have a high dependency on background ventilators, such as trickle vents in windows.

When a manufacturer of centrifugal pumps for water-treatment applications was developing a new high-speed design, it could not understand why test-rig trials indicated a higher running temperature than the original concept. Duly concerned, the company contacted NSK, which sent an AIP+ (Added Value Programme) expert to the company´s site in France to perform a full vibration analysis. NSK´s investigation, which was carried out as part of its Condition Monitoring Service (CMS) that analyses the health of bearings and associated components, saved the customer €34,500.S032018-N-

The 240 × 180 true native resolution offers more than 43,200 points of temperature measurement and produces crisp, vibrant imagery, which can be enhanced with FLIR's patented MSX® for added perspective.

ECS’ in-house fabrication department has recently completed the manufacture of 49 steel duct cradles destined for the main reactor building at a UK nuclear power plant. Each of the duct cradles required fabrication to the highest standards, with ECS engineers delivering all of the structures within six months.

Supplying steelwork to the nuclear sector is a demanding project for a fabricator. ECS is accredited to provide steelwork under BS EN 1090 for CE marking up to Execution Class 4 (EXC4). EXC4 is applicable only to facilities of the highest consequence class, such as nuclear power stations. This accreditation ensured ECS could offer the required quality of steel fabrication and welding procedures to carry out the project effectively.

Kyocera’s subsidiary, Kyocera Fineceramics Solutions GmbH, formerly part of Friatec GmbH, develops robust oxygen sensors for managing combustion in industrial processes.
