SPOTLIGHT BRAMMER BUCK & HICKMAN has announced it has introduced Workline, a comprehensive range of pollution control products and services specifically developed to assist companies to prevent and cope with liquid spills and resulting pollution. Exclusively available through Brammer Buck & Hickman in the UK and Ireland, product highlights of the Workline range include absorbent pads, rolls, socks and cushions for maintenance, alongside oil & fuel and chemical applications supported with dispensers, stations, holders and containment products. The company says by choosing Workline, customers will benefit from an immediate supply of the highest performance and most cost-effective spill response products in the marketplace. All spill response products are manufactured to BS EN ISO, 9001:2015 quality standards and all products featured conform to BS 7959. t | 08450 510 150 w | www.bbh-rubix.com NEW WORKLINE RANGE Atacama-CT Plus adsorption dryers from HI-LINE INDUSTRIES, a leading UK supplier to the compressed air sector, now feature upgraded diaphragm valves that are helping these point-of-use units prove even more reliable for Class ‘0’ breathing air applications in the medical and hospital sectors. Hi-line Industries says it will remain open throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to help serve the medical and healthcare industry, as well as those involved in food production. The company’s service and main reception numbers, as well as the mobile numbers of key staff, remain available to support customers. Based on a heavier duty specification, the new valves in the Atacama-CT Plus range now feature a tougher diaphragm that is resistant to both oil and aggressive condensate. This robust engineering is matched by other sturdy features on the valves, such as 100% rated anti-vibrating coils, special locating lugs and a machined pilot hole in place of an O-ring. The Atacama-CT Plus series offers corrected flow rates from 0.2 to 2.83 m3/min. Importantly, this three-stage unit features a CT (Carbon Tower) located after the adsorption dryer. Clean, dry air passes through the third CT stage and adsorbs gases and aerosols depending on requirements and which zeolites are selected. To attain Class ‘0’ for medical and food production applications the air needs to be oil-free, which can be achieved thanks to the use of high-quality carbon t | 01283 533377 e | enquiries@hilineindustries.com w | www.hilineindustries.com UPGRADED ADSORPTION DRYERS Over 75 years PCL reports it has developed the most comprehensive range of UK manufactured couplings, covering all requirements, from the standard Airflow for fixed applications, Vertex for trailing hose and XF-Euro for increased airflow, to common industry interchanges and safety couplings. PCL says its core lines of couplings – Airflow, Vertex and XF-Euro – are now manufactured with a distinctive blue silicone band to define them as genuine “Made in Sheffield” products. The thickness of the couplings has increased to neatly house the blue band, so not only is the new design extremely stylish, it also enhances what is already an incredibly durable, fail-safe product. t: 0114 248 2712 e: sales@pclairtechnology.com w: www.pclairtechnology.com COMPREHENSIVE COUPLINGS RANGE Primary pressure regulators for industrial gases such as Nitrogen, Oxygen, Methane, Argon, Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide or Helium are available from ID Insert Deal srl and its UK distributor, MEASURE MONITOR CONTROL. These single or dual stage regulators are available with cylinder specific inlet threads for direct mounting or with BSP or NPT thread options. 316L stainless steel and brass constructions are available and in sizes suitable for both low flow laboratory use and very high flow distribution systems. Dual inlet regulators are available with or without automatic changeover controls for inlet pressures up to 400bar with control pressure ranges down to 5mbar and optionally with ATEX certification. t | 01443 772500 w | www.measuremonitorcontrol.com PRIMARY PRESSURE REGULATORS MANFLEX was approached by one of its customers, a major OEM, to resolve an issue in fitting one of its hose assemblies into position. Movement in the application caused the assembly to twist and abrasion occurred with possible failure. Standard fittings were originally tried but proved costly and inadequate. Manflex in collaboration with its supplier, a leading European manufacturer of swivel joints, jointly resolved the issue, by supplying an extended version of the standard joint, which cleared all obstructions and presented a clear working area for the assemblies. Customer and supplier working together achieved satisfaction. t | 01925 653215 e | e-sales@manflex.co.uk SOLVING THE PROBLEM 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. The company says 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. Compressed air is so widely used that it is often regarded as the fourth utility and it is the most expensive energy source across all types of manufacturing and process plants. e | info@beha-amprobe.com w | www.beha-amprobe.com ULTRASONIC LEAK DETECTORS SICK has announced it has extended its portfolio of industrial instruments with the SICK T-Easic FTS, a thermal flow switch designed as an easy, cost-saving answer to detecting liquid flow in pipes, for example in pumps, machine tool lubrication or industrial cleaning systems. SICK says combining both flow and temperature measurement in one IO-Link enabled sensor, the SICK T-Easic is available in a choice of IP67 industrial or IP69 hygienic stainless-steel versions. Ideal for use with water or oil-based liquids, the T-Easic can be set up to work with almost any media and is suitable for use with process temperatures between -40°C and 150ºC and pressures up to 100 bar. t | 01727 831121 e | andrea.hornby@sick.co.uk w | www.sick.co.uk THERMAL FLOW SWITCH
