SPOTLIGHT SCC AIR COMPRESSORS UK has recently relocated to larger premises on the outskirts of Sheffield. The company says the new premises will serve as the UK & Irish hub of operations. It will allow SCC to hold larger quantities of stock, all the range of smart, clever & cost efficient machines will be stocked, up to and including 75kW machines. SCC says this will enable it to deliver machines “next day” for 90% of the UK’s compressed air market. The move will allow this new compressor manufacturer to continue its speedy growth into the UK market. e | contact@scc-aircompressors.com RELOCATION TO LARGER PREMISES To suit every individual application, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies says it can offer bespoke flange seals that meet the highest standards in hygiene. Developed for customer-specific sealing grooves in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, the customised flange seals are available via authorised distributor DICHTOMATIK, the exclusive provider for Freudenberg’s food and beverage related products in the UK. For each customer requirement, Freudenberg says its experts can set about developing a completely new design of flange seal. Factors such as prevailing pressures and temperatures, the product and cleaning media, as well as the dimensions and process-related variance of the sealing groove, have a role to play. Importantly, the company’s tailor-made solutions enable hygienic sealing, flush with the product – the flange seal neither protrudes into the product area, nor does it rebound. Of particular note, Freudenberg says it can offer a proven design for special housings in the process industry and thanks to unique FEM analyses, the company’s design provides optimised hygienic sealing that surpasses conventional flange seals. This high-performance seal also provides an easily cleanable solution in non- rotationally symmetric systems and standard housings. The material variants deployed, such as EPDM or HNBR, show high resistance to CIP/SIP (cleaning-in-place/sterilisation-in-place) media and meet the requirements of the American FDA (Food and Drug Administration). t | 01332 524422 e | fst-food-beverage@dichtomatik.co.uk w | foodandbeverage.fst.com/products-en/static-seals CUSTOMISED FLANGE SEALS HI-LINE INDUSTRIES, a leading UK designer, manufacturer and installer of air/gas dryers and nitrogen generators, has announced it is lending its support to the NHS in combating the current COVID-19 pandemic.
