Lightweight diaphragm valve for precise flow control of liquids, ideal for medical applications

Pumps and macerators made by Börger are successfully handling wastewater at the highly renowned Sandy Balls Holiday Centre in the New Forest National Park.

A full range of HPS (heatless pressure swing) adsorption dryers for compressed air systems are available from Hi-line Industries Ltd. These have been designed with simplified ‘plug and play’ installation combining high efficiency with minimum running cost, while also providing reliability based upon the latest technological advancements.

Machine builders looking for a small, extremely compact, valve manifold unit for use with air operated 3 Port solenoid valves now have the solution with the launch of SMC´s new Series VV061. Developed initially following Life Science Industry requests and particularly suitable for pilot valve and small actuator and pin cylinder applications, SMC´s R&D engineers have created a fully integrated manifold which incorporates the valves, printed circuit board and fittings in one, single, compact unit.

Edwards has secured a £50,000 order to supply its HV8000 mechanical booster pumps to a European high temperature materials manufacturer. The boosters, which enable users across many industries, including steel, to make operational cost savings, will replace steam ejectors on a chemical vapour infiltration (CVI) process.

Leading vacuum technology company Edwards has won an order worth more than £1.5 million to supply liquid ring vacuum pump systems to Indian company Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL).
