HI-LINE INDUSTRIES, a leading UK supplier to the compressed air sector, reports it has a solution for all companies seeking a temporary way of delivering high-quality, dry compressed air and says an affordable and responsive rental scheme is now in place at the company, covering its comprehensive range of classleading compressed air dryers. Although hiring a compressor can be easy enough for short-batch emergency runs or exceptionally busy periods, finding specialist drying equipment is not so straightforward, and yet air quality is just as important in temporary periods as it is during long-term regular operations. Hi-line says it overcomes this issue by offering hire options on a vast range of compressed air dryers, including refrigerant, heatless, heat-regenerative and point-of-use models. High-quality, competitive filtration packs can also be provided. The company says its market-leading Tundra refrigerant air dryers, for example, are renowned for their robust and reliable performance. Moreover, the newly improved single-cell heat exchanger gives the most efficient transfer of heat at the lowest energy cost. For those seeking heatless dryers, Hi-line can offer its proven HPSA (Heatless Pressure Swing Adsorption) units, which come in ‘plug and play’ format mounted on skids with their own filtration package as standard. t | 01283 533377 e | enquiries@hilineindustries.com w | www.hilineindustries.com APEX DYNAMICS, a leading supplier of high-precision gearboxes, is urging customers to be on their guard against a wave of counterfeit products that have infiltrated the UK market in the last 12 months.

APEX Dynamics says its products are specially designed with patented features around the bearings and seals of the gearbox, making them ideal for use in a food or pharma environment. e | sales@apexdynamicsuk.com w | www.apexdynauk.com HUMIDITY SOLUTIONS has announced the launch of humiditydirect.co.uk - a new e-commerce site for the sale of humidification and dehumidification equipment and spares.
