With its new R 5 RA 0760 A PLUS, BUSCH says it has introduced a pioneering rotary vane vacuum pump to the market, suitable for many industrial applications. The company says able to run at constant speed or with pressure control, it is exceptionally energy-efficient and acting either as the sole vacuum pump or as a vacuum module in a central vacuum supply, the R 5 PLUS makes sure a specified pumping speed is maintained at a prescribed rotational speed. It can also accurately sustain the required vacuum level, regardless of how the process conditions change. Thanks to its variable speed drive, the vacuum pump covers a pumping speed range from 440 to 760 cubic meters per hour and reaches an ultimate pressure of 0.1 millibar. t | 01952 677 432 e | sales@busch.co.uk w | www.busch.co.uk BOGE COMPRESSORS has announced the appointment of Russell Frost as sales manager, UK & Ireland.

Renovotec says its own industry feedback indicates that as many as seven in ten (70%) of all warehouse operations have still to make the transition to a more modern, Android operating environment, choosing to continue with a Windows environment despite the fact that support for Windows handheld devices will end in January 2020. “This industry has been slow to make the move to Android but with the right technology in the right hands the transition to Android can still be made, quickly and cost-effectively” says Renovotec MD Richard Gilliard (pictured). “Android opens the door to new technologies that have been shown to measurably improve warehousing and logistics performance”. w | www.renovotec.com ‘Switch to Android’ In recognition of its long-time association with the plastics sector, the European division of the global BUNTING GROUP has announced it has joined the Polymer Machinery Manufacturers and Distributors Association (PMMDA).

The company says Riello RX burners feature an exclusive design that includes a patented woven wire gauze ‘sock’ covering the combustion head cylinder. Gas and combustion air are mixed upstream of the combustion head and then pass through precision-located ports and the gauze ‘sock’ to ignite on the external surface of the combustion head. This arrangement enables a very compact flame with a diameter directly related to the burner firing rate, ensuring precise heat control and optimum efficiency at all loads. The high turndown makes RX burners ideal for systems with variable heat loads where low NOx levels are also required. w | www.rielloburners.co.uk 36 | Plant & Works Engineering www.pwemag.co.uk October 2019 Process, Controls & Plant Premix burners now up to 3MW
