Brammer expertise achieves cost and carbon savings for Kerry Foods
A
programme implemented by Brammer, the UKs leading distributor of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO)products and services, has resulted in immediate cost savings as well as a significant reduction in carbon emissions for Kerry Foods Ltd. Kerry Foods is a world leader infood ingredients and flavours, and a leading supplier of branded foods to the Irish and UK markets. Aiming to reduce energy consumption, the engineering services group leader at its Spalding plant invited Brammer to investigate various systems around the factory to identify areas for improvement. Andy Hickin, regional key account executive for Brammer, explains: Our audit of the Kerry Foods facility soon established thatmotors powering three separate systems were constantly running at full capacity, with no means of controlling speed to match demand. After demonstrating the possible carbon savings - as well as the short payback period - achievable by providing variable speed control to these motors, an upgrade project was agreed with the customer. The motors involved in the project included a 7.5kw motor used to maintain higher air pressure within the plant than outside; an 18.5kw motor powering high-pressure hot water for equipment wash-downs; and a 15kw motor delivering water for hand washing at a lower pressure.

Latest PW29 load cell series H
BM’s latest PW29 load cell series are made of high-quality chrome nickel steel and conform to IP68/IP69K degree of protection to ensure they perform accurately in extreme environmental conditions. Typical applications are platform scales of up to 800 x 800 mm as the load cells can be used in constantly damp environments and easily cleaned using steam cleaners.
The robust PW29 devices are effectively protected from overloads by an adjustable overload stop. The PW29 devices are available in 5 maximum capacity steps from 100kg to 1t. The load cells are designed with an accuracy class C3MR up to a Y-value of
15000.They come with an NMI test certificate and OIML conformity certificate to confirm their high accuracy and suitability for use in verifiable scales. Various commercially available cable protection systems can be mounted on the integrated thread adapter for very demanding conditions.

Spirol disc springs extend the cycle life requirements of a dewalt heavy duty right angle drill
D
EWALT is a brand with a reputation for providing high quality professional power tools, contractor tools and accessories. The company's lead design engineer for drills was tasked with designing a high power right angle drill that was lightweight, compact, and portable. Special Spirol Disc Springs were ideal for this demanding, high performance application and design where the goal was to maximize performance while minimizing the size of the tool. The design
would incorporate a mechanical clutch built to limit maximum torque output to 95 Nm. Without the huge gear reduction of 75:1, the drill would be capable of producing a lock rotor torque at the spindle of 237 Nm, transmitted directly to the operator of the tool. It was determined early on that the clutching thrust required in the space available could only be achieved by a Disc Spring design. Compared to conventional coil springs, Disc Springs offer a higher load capacity in less space. Additionally, longevity and reliability is a high measure of quality for professional tools used on a daily basis.

Piezoresistive silicon pressure sensors in a robust housing with ranges up to 10 bar (150 psi)
New Webinar shares simple solutions for fast in-process control
raditional methods for in-process control and end-of-line control use electrical resistance, optical imaging, spectrometry, light beam and mechanical sizing. It wasn’t until recently that weighing technology was used in spot-checking mode to increase reliability.
T
A new webinar from METTLER TOLEDO explains how high resolution weigh modules,
offer
surprisingly fast and simple solutions for complete in-process control. The webinar describes how advanced weigh modules can simply and easily check for completeness of parts, kits or modules.

It also explains how weigh modules can help ensure complete in-line testing with high throughput rates. technology,
Now, dimensions, using weighing coatings, shapes or
completeness can be indirectly checked while looking at weight deviations or differences.

irst Sensor presents the new Sensortechnics HRO pressure sensors for gage and differential pressure measurement in a wide range from 10 mbar up to 10 bar (4 inH2O to 150 psi) full scale. The robust HRO pressure sensors are calibrated and temperature compensated and can be used with dry and non- corrosive gases. The completely analogue signal conditioning ensures mV output signals with nearly unlimited resolution. The special HRO housing design offers ideal protection against possible stress during sensor mounting. The outer package is mechanically decoupled from the inner part holding the highly stable silicon sensing element. The HRO sensors provide a miniature SIL housing with mounting holes for convenient, space-saving PCB-mounting. Two pressure ports allow for easy tubing connections.
