BVC Cleans up at major UK Smelter
B
VC have just completed a Central
Vacuum Cleaning System for a major UK smelter providing a cost effective solution to removal of material build up on high level steelwork which is transferred by the convection heat generated by the furnaces.
To maintain
and manage a clean environment where conventional vacuum cleaners were not an answer, the solution was the installation of a pipe work system interconnecting 22 strategically positioned hose connection points connected to an existing mobile vacuum plant. The whole cleaning operation can be easily handled by 2 operators who can attach a hose into a point as frequently as required using standard BVC hoses and tools. A second BVC system has been installed, remodelling and adding to an existing 3.0” pipe system to serve a process building spanning over several floors. This system has been provided with 16 hose connection points enabling heavy industrial vacuum cleaning to be performed by two people using BVC hoses and tools or 1 operator using 76 mm bore hose and tool to carry out bulk product removal from one specific area.

enter 823
VC have recently completed the installation for two Central Vacuum Cleaning Systems for use within ATEX Zone 22 classified production area for a UK distillery. BVC systems provided the most cost effective method of cleaning for a multi-floor processing facility for the specified area classification.
The first system was specifically designed for a new
processing building handling dry materials. It can be used by 2 operators using standard 51 mm BVC hoses and tools. The fourteen hose connection points are interconnected with 210 metres of graduated pipe connected back to an 11.0 kw industrial vacuum cleaning machine. The second system, again designed for the parameters of the building and process it is to serve, is within a grain intake facility. It is sized for 1 operator using 51 mm BVC hoses and tools. The 4.0kw industrial vacuum cleaning machine is
connected to the graduated pipe work system from the ten strategically placed hose connection points. The two systems are both provided with BVC Centurion industrial vacuum cleaning machines which are designed and manufactured to meet the requirements for use within ATEX Zone 22 classified facilities.

New ‘easy-to-use’ technical guide
H
ydraulic Sealing Guide Issue 28.1 and Hydraulic Sealing Products - Size Charts Issue 28.1, are up to the minute publications issued by James
Walker & Co. The original versions were launched in December 2010 as the first full-scale updates in technical documentation for this important sector in over 15 years. Both Issue 28.1 publications contain revised product information and a number of modifications suggested by users following
the company’s call for feed-back on the previous guide earlier this year. Users will now find it easier to navigate through the 86 pages of the Hydraulic Sealing Guide, moving confidently from Quick Reference Charts to full product descriptions and onwards to housing details. In addition, the Preferred Housing Designs and Housing Charts in the Appendix section have been revised to bring them into a more standardised format. The sister publication Hydraulic Sealing Products — Size charts Issue 28.1 - has been revised to match the 86-page main guide.

Blue Diamond High Performance Seals
B
lue Diamond designs and manufactures high performance seals that run faster, use less energy and last longer. Whether you need a small quantity of bespoke seals or production quantities of hundreds of thousands, Blue Diamond will solve your seal challenge. With energy efficiency becoming increasingly important, even a modest improvement in seal design can reduce losses and extend operational life. Blue Diamond offers a range of low friction options including its SBBT enhanced surface treatment and an advanced technology whereby a PTFE disc is actually bonded to the lip of a seal. Seals with these treatments combine the low friction benefits of PTFE together with the memory, flexibility and resilience provided by the seals’ base polymer. They resist the movement and forces caused by eccentric shaft rotation and offer improved performance in the event of shaft-to-housing misalignment, poor surface finish, vibration, high pressures and inadequate lubrication.
