The Greerco Reversible Homogenizer from Chemineer can produce high quality shampoos, gels, creams, and lotions – without the need for vacuum processing vessels or in-line vacuum deaeration devices.

Börger’s highly efficient and effective Powerfeed SSR (Solids and Substrate Feeder) is designed to continuously displace solids and substrates for anaerobic digestion. With backflow prevention, it offers solids injection into the fluid stream, with no added fluid required for dry material feed.

SKF has launched a powerful lifting column that combines compact dimensions with the ability to support loads of up to 2500N. The Telemag TFG is ideal for vertical push or pull applications, thanks to its stiff aluminium profiles and precision glide pads, which enable it to lift off-centre loads without bending.

Space elevator. It sounds like something from a science fiction novel, but in fact it is a very real structure proposed by very real scientists, engineers, and space enthusiasts. Kevin Gingerich gives details of the task in hand and how Bosch Rexroth’s innovative technology is helping it become reality.

The latest addition to Atlas Copco Compressors’ family of refrigerant dryers, the FD 5-4000 range, offers constant dry air at any time, space-saving, easy installation, advanced control and monitoring, plus the ability to reduce energy costs whatever the equipment capacity.

By combining a high speed DC-motor with a piezo-driven rotary motor on a backlash-free ball screw Feinmess Dresden GmbH of Germany have developed a linear stage with a very wide speed range, high positional accuracy and low settling time.

For over 30 years, Serapid has specialized in the vertical and horizontal movement of loads. At the core of their technology is the principle of the Rigid Chain – a chain consisting of links interlocking under a load and working like a rigid bar.

It was celebrations all the way for Lancashire based CoSaf Environments, the exclusive UK distributor of the of the award winning Breezair evaporative cooling system, after beating off hundreds of entries in this years UK Building Services Awards to become a finalist in the “Product of the Year” category. Held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London’s Park Lane, the awards acknowledge and reward excellence, innovation and professionalism in the building services industry.

VERLINDE is now proposing modular structures in aluminium to create tailor-made handling systems for loads ranging from 500 to 2,000 Kg. Full ranges of profiles, trolleys and fastening devices enabling several thousands of solutions to be created from standard elements. Easy and quick to assemble, the EUROSYSTEM ALU handling systems are 50% lighter than their equivalents in steel profiles, regardless of whether simple rail equipment, single-girder cranes or double-girder cranes are concerned.

When Wiggin Alloys first installed a Hovair air film system in 1983 to move a forge press tool train under a 1,750 tonne forging press, little did the company know that, in partnership with Hovair, now part of the industrial division of British Turntable Co Ltd, the company would still be using the same air film system in their manufacturing process 25 years later. In the hot and dirty environment of the forging plant, the Hovair air skates have withstood the test of time.
