SPOTLIGHT SICK says its innovative new FTMg thermal flow meter simultaneously measures gas flow, pressure and temperature then computes the combined values to detect leaks in pneumatic systems and monitor compressed air energy consumption in real time. The SICK FTMg Thermal Flow Meter’s on-board algorithm uses the flow, pressure and temperature values to calculate the energy of gas passing through the flow channel in kWh. By comparing to the electrical power demand of the compressor, the SICK FTMg can accurately detect changes in the efficiency of a pneumatic system. As a result, the compact and easy-to-use device promises major benefits for improved process efficiency of machines. t | 01727 831121 e | andrea.hornby@sick.co.uk w | www.sick.co.uk 4-IN1 FLOW METER Increase productivity Improve Control + Accuracy No adaptations Preventative maintenance BESPOKE SYSTEM DESIGNS 01926811395 info@tridenthydraulics.co.uk www.tridenthydraulics.co.uk GENAIR is a company that rents air compressors and desiccant dryers to industry throughout the UK and beyond. Its fleet encompasses diesel powered sets, zero emission electric machines and oil free units. GenAir reports it recently received a much coveted Green Apple Award for its ‘All Electric – All Weather’ compressor. The company says its management team has over 140 years’ experience within the air compressor industry and operates one of the largest hire fleets of compressed air systems and desiccant dryers in Europe. GenAir equipment is ideally suited for use throughout the world and it supplies equipment all over Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America. t | 0844 775 0890 e | sales@genair.co.uk ALL WEATHER COMPRESSOR DNP has created two series of products according to the ISO 16028 standard, namely the PLT1 series with a WP of 25 Mpa (according to the standard) and a more performing PLT4 series that can work at 35 MPa with a safety factor of 4:1. The speciality of this product is the zinc-nickel coating on the surfaces, designed to ensure high resistance to corrosion. Plastic and aluminium protection caps are available for this series, as well as the possibility of installing coloured rings (Colour Code) on the couplings (which is a DNP exclusive feature), thus avoiding possible connection mistakes as well as seals of various compounds. t | +39 039 877451 e | info@dnp.it w | www.dnp.it ZINC-NICKEL COATING ENSURES HIGH RESISTANCE TO CORROSION BARKSDALE says it provides customers with the powerful BxS Series. This series consists of electronic switches for pressure, temperature, temperature, level, temperature/level and differential pressure and is available with IO-Link as standard. The maximum of flexibility allows a wide range of industrial applications and industrial. Characteristics are the 2-way rotatable 320° display, analog outputs (4-20mA and 0-10V switchable), maintenance-free transistor switching contacts and perfect readability due to the 4-digit 14 LED display. Harsh environmental conditions are no problem due to high protection with IP65/67 and EMI protection. w | www.barksdale.de THE PRODUCT FAMILY FOR INDUSTRY 4.0 AIR COMPLIANCE UK says it has invested heavily in introducing state-of-the-art portable analysing equipment to the forefront of its testing process in order to assist clients in meeting their industry standards. Richard Simpson, Air Compliance UK company director, says “It’s good to see that businesses are becoming more aware of the air quality produced by their compressor systems, and being a company that specialise in identifying these contaminants we are always keen to ensure our testing technology is the best on the market.” For testing to ISO 8573-1 and BS EN12021 t | 0333 0166601 e | info@aircomplianceuk.com w | www.aircomplianceuk.com COMPRESSED AIR AND GAS TESTING WITH INSTANT RESULTS
