Green Warehouse cleaning with a buy back guarantee
The first Hybrid Sweeper - Scrubber
the warehouse sector. The CS7000 is available in three models: The LPG-Hybrid and ePower Battery versions are designed for indoor use whilst the Diesel-Hybrid engine driven machine is perfect for outdoors. All models have been designed to reduce the cost of operation, labour & maintenance, whilst effectively increasing fuel economy and runtime efficiency. New productivity standards have been set at 7756 actual square metres per hour. The CS7000 utilises state of the art electric drive technology enabling reduced emissions with the LPG and Diesel models and emission free indoor operation with the E Power technology on the battery models. The electric Hybrid technology means that the engine drives a large alternator to generate electricity and a 36 volt battery pack provides energy storage. This Hybrid system provides for a fuel saving of up to 30%.

ABB introduces a wireless, energy harvesting temperature transmitter
BB has developed a standalone, self-powered temperature transmitter with WirelessHART™, offering a cost effective and maintenance-free alternative to wired or battery-powered devices. Wireless instruments offer the ideal solution wherever it may be costly or impractical to run cabling. Battery-powered WirelessHART technology allows for quick and simple instrument installation to allow operators to monitor new process information to improve plant visibility. However, the battery will eventually need replacing, incurring time and cost. Battery life can be prolonged but only by slowing down the data transfer rate, affecting the instrument’s response time. These challenges are overcome by ABB’s self-powered temperature transmitter. Featuring a built-in thermoelectric generator (TEG), the device uses the Seebeck Effect to harvest electrical energy from thermal energy. The temperature difference between the ambient and the pipe temperature produces a voltage difference, which is then used to power the device. This technology enables the transmitter to be fitted onto a steam or process pipe, with the latent heat being used to provide the power needed for operation.

New SLC (Safety Light Curtain) series offers faster commissioning, operation & service
W
ieland Electric’s SLC series of safety light curtains has been designed to protect operators from dangerous areas or as an access control against unauthorised trespassing. Easy connection is achieved via standard M12 connection technology,
whilst fast installation and removal of the guards on the machine is achievable due
to system configuration being done in the control cabinet. When using multiple systems, mutual interference is avoided by using the adjustable range reduction feature, and the integrated double scan technology eliminates the risk of unnecessary shutdown even in harsh environments. Operating temperature range for the SLC series is from -30°C to +55°C so they can be used even in the most adverse environments. Planning of safeguards is simplified and there is less type diversity because every SLC safety light curtain from 0 m to the maximum range can be utilised. Setting of parameters is done without PC or DIP switch and is carried out through simple wiring in the control cabinet. The 3- zone alignment indicator reduces assembly time and simplifies set up. The SLC Series has a robust aluminium IP67 rated, rigid housing that aids adjustment and helps to ensure reliable operation.

Norbar warns more care needed in the choice of tools to prevent vibration white finger
regarding the use of impact guns as a bolting device and this can seriously affect employee health. If impact has to be used we recommend it is used sparingly and only to tighten bolts to a specific point well below the required final torque, beyond that a properly calibrated torque wrench should be used. Prioritising speed over accuracy often compromises joint integrity and largely disregards concerns over employee health. Many workers across the UK are at risk of developing the disease as VWF can afflict anyone using vibrating tools and equipment, even for short periods, so although purchasers of power tools initially look for the less costly option, it does not always ‘pay off’ in the long term. Total compensation paid so far is £1.4 billion and these are the biggest personal injury claims in British legal history and possibly the world.

Total steam solution for pioneering carbon capture project
pirax Sarco has delivered a comprehensive steam-driven heat exchange solution for a ground- breaking carbon capture project at Ferrybridge coal-fired power station in Yorkshire. The Spirax Sarco system is a key element in the success of this cutting-edge project to develop large-scale technology to mitigate the environmental damage from burning fossil fuels. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology aims to capture carbon dioxide from the flue gas of major emitters such as power stations and store it out of harm’s way, possibly by burying it in exhausted oil and gas reservoirs or saline aquifers. The Ferrybridge project demonstrates the “capture” part of the process at a much larger scale than previous pilot schemes, using an amine-based solvent to absorb up to 100 tonnes of carbon dioxide per day. Spirax Sarco’s steam system is used to re-boil and regenerate the carbon dioxide saturated solvent for reuse by stripping the carbon dioxide out under carefully controlled high- temperature conditions. The temperature and pressure in the clean-up column, or stripper, has to be controlled precisely.

Scott Safety showcases latest developments at A+A
leader in the design, manufacture and supply of personal and respiratory protective equipment, will reveal a range of new products in respiratory protection and gas detection at the world's largest specialist trade fair, A+A (Dusseldorf,
S 5th- 8th
November 2013, A51, Hall 6).
Scott Safety will preview a new range of Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) that will provide the ultimate comfort,
reliability and
performance for those working in the emergency firefighting, marine and industrial sectors. The new ProPak SCBA range is a lightweight set that incorporates the proven technology found in Scott Safety’s trusted SCBA products; offering the highest levels of protection whilst providing the wearer with ease of movement and comfort. Scott Safety also recently developed its 379bar high pressure cylinder. At 25% higher pressures than the current 300bar SCBA, the new cylinder offers significantly increased duration with minimal increases in size and weight of the SCBA. A key advantage of this is that a cylinder the size of a typical 60 minute cylinder will now provide a duration of 75 minutes providing users with a convenient method of utilising an extended duration breathing apparatus.
