Elfab’s Opti-Gard™ first rupture disc covered by three-year warranty
Pressure relief specialist Elfab has become the first manufacturer to offer a rupture disc protected by a three-year warranty. Since its launch in 2004, Opti- Gard™ has proved so robust and reliable in operation that Elfab is offering a three-year warranty as standard on Opti-Gard ™ discs supplied after 1st January 2011. The Opti-Gard™ system comprises a
reverse-acting rupture disc, a single-design holder with multi-flange compatibility and a non-invasive, ATEX-approved burst detector, Flo-Tel™+. Featuring an industry-leading tolerance of only three per cent across a wide range of burst pressures and a 95 per cent operating ratio, Opti-Gard™ offers the highest performance characteristics available for liquid, gas or vapour applications. Opti-Gard™’s performance has allowed the optimisation of process pressures for many of

Guttridge launch a new range of Centreless Screw Conveyors
As a leading UK manufacturer of bulk handling equipment Guttridge has added to its extensive portfolio and launched a new range of Centreless Screw Conveyors as a solution for conveying material with difficult characteristics. The new range will efficiently handle adhesive and wet materials such as pulp materials, waste sludge and soil that have the tendency to tangle with, or stick to a shafted screw conveyor. Highly abrasive materials including gravel, sand, cinder, crushed rock and materials
with large or mixed size particles including wood chips, biomass, and paper are also handled with ease. The new range will also convey very delicate and flowing materials including powder, chemicals and ash. The introduction of Guttridge Centreless Screw Conveyors facilitates a huge range of
options in terms of direction and distance. Available in either horizontal, inclined or vertical options they can provide high quality conveying up to very long distances and in comparison to other conveying options they offer lower investment and operating costs. Innovative design features include the omission of a central shaft which allows higher filling rates and low speeds, making the Guttridge Centreless Screw Conveyor highly efficient with less wear and consequently less maintenance. Additionally, uncomplicated reliable operation with no end or intermediate bearings facilitates efficient and direct transfer of material and reduced requirement for major maintenance work.
Guttridge can also offer bespoke installations which can be designed and constructed for any unique application. Tel: +44 (0)1775 765 300 Email:

Hosokawa Micron Ltd can now offer customers a further option in Downflow Booth design and construction in addition to their existing range of clean air workstation variants. The new modular design Downflow Booth can be constructed using a new composite material, rigid polyurethane foam (PUR/PIR) which has significant advantages over conventional double skin construction method.
This proven new composite wall and roof panel design uses metal faced sandwich panels with rigid polyurethane foam core that bolt together quickly and simply to give a rigid structure that is both strong and durable. Using this new lightweight construction material has significant end user benefits as it has excellent insulating properties which aid both soundproofing and thermal insulation. Temperature regulation is easier because of the low heat losses meaning temperature sensitive operating environments can economically be kept at the correct temperature.
Each composite panel has an 80mm, CFV free internal core of fire resistant PUR/PIR with outer metal panels finished with a food safe laminate. PUR/PIR is strong and durable but the panels are lightweight and quick to install using hidden self locking system eliminates the need for traditional nuts and bolts. The roof can be designed to hold the weight of two men (200Kgs) in any position. Modular composite panel design can offer increased booth widths.
Offer significant advantages in terms of flexibility of positioning of internal equipment, windows, doors and ports due to the tensile strength of the material and ease of cutting, moulding and frame sealing. This feature means that cables can be incorporated within the composite panels reducing ledges, grooves and ridges that could harbour powder residue.
Whether customers require a standalone Downflow Booth or complete clean air processing lines or separate dispensing facilities Hosokawa Micron Ltd engineers can now offer a fresh alternative for those seeking flexible contained processing options that are quick and easy to install.
