Saffire Multi-Stage Regulators Provide High Integrity Leak
Tightness Full details are now available in a new brochure on the Murex range of Saffire Multi-Stage Regulators. They provide precise control of gases and all models are 300 bar compatible. Saffire 300 Series2+ multi-stage regulators are the flagships of the range. Designed to comply with BS EN ISO 2503, they are manufactured under the BS EN IS0 9000 quality management system. All regulator components are purpose designed for non-corrosive high pressure gas service. In a new development, the first diaphragm of each model is coated stainless steel to provide high integrity leak tightness. This feature is necessary when using “light” gases such as helium.
For applications using gases such as helium, hydrogen and CO2, there is a range of regulators available with outlet pressures of either 4 or 10 bar and differing maximum flows.

Spends £15 Million Plant hire business
L.Lynch is a company living up to its new motto ‘meeting hire demands’. Despite the industry problems over the past two years, the company will continue to spend about £15 million this year on new equipment further reducing its fleet’s average age from 18 months.
“Customers benefit from a very young fleet through improved reliability and better corporate image,” said director Robert Lynch. “At the moment the average age of our 1,800 mixed fleet items is about 18 months old, but we hope to reduce this even further with more new purchases.”
Latest fleet additions include Thwaites Alldrive three and six tonne dumpers which have proved to be the most popular rental sizes. Lynch has about 250 dumpers in total – the majority being Thwaites machines – ranging from one to nine tonnes. Its largest machines – the 9 tonners - were purchased early last year extending its range capacity.
New Doosan 22 Tonne Excavator
At R H Ovenden Ltd R H Ovenden Ltd, the materials and waste recycling company based at Aylesham near Canterbury in Kent, has purchased a new Doosan DX225LC crawler excavator from Promac Solutions Ltd, the authorised Doosan dealer for South East England. The reasons for purchasing the new DX225LC excavator include the high productivity, operator comfort, safety and low maintenance offered by the machine. The new DX225LC is based at the Ovenden transfer station at Tilmanstone, where the machine sorts and stockpiles materials such as construction waste, hardcore, concrete, soil, metals and wood brought to the site by customers or in the company’s own fleet of waste trucks and skips. The excellent working range and lift capacities of the DX225LC contribute to the high productivity offered by the excavator. One of the principal applications for the machine at Ovenden is for sorting, storing and reloading wood waste. With specifications that include a maximum digging reach at ground level of 9.3 m and a maximum dump height of 6.83 m, the DX225LC has the range to work quickly in and around the wood pile, both storing and unloading wood for recycling. To meet Ovenden’s requirements, Promac Solutions fitted an additional rotation circuit to the DX225LC excavator so that it can operate a grab attachment to handle the wood waste. The machine’s operator, John Faithfull, uses the grab to stockpile the wood waste brought to the transfer station, before using the grab again to reload the wood from the pile into articulated trucks for onward supply to chipboard manufacturers. All of the features on the DX225LC combine to allow Mr Faithfull to fully load one of the articulated trucks in just 25 minutes.

The company is well known for its excavator and dumper hire, always trying to put the machines out as a combination – dumpers up to 9 tonnes with excavators up to 14 tonnes. For many years Lynch’s head office was in the shadow of the old Wembley Stadium but expansion meant a move into purpose-built offices and workshops in nearby Stanmore - the hub of its UK activities. A second depot is situated in Northampton although this is also undergoing expansion in size and facilities to cope with company growth. Lynch also has a fleet of articulated dump trucks up to 30 tonnes, as well as telehandlers, compaction and associated equipment for a wide range of projects from civil engineering and demolition to landscaping and rail work. “We are trying to meet the hire demands for every customer. Having high quality manufacturers like Thwaites working with us makes it possible,” said Robert Lynch. “Our customers benefit from excellent reliability, which aids their progress on site.”
