New preventive maintenance packages H
New Sentinel electrical safety testers from Clare
S
ignificant time and cost saving benefits are provided by the new Sentinel series of bench-top Hipot/flash testers from Clare, which deliver improved type testing during product development or enhanced compliance testing in a laboratory environment. The Sentinel 200, 500 and 501 electrical safety testers enable manufacturers to check their products in-house to ensure compliance with the relevant international technical conformance standards such as EN 60598, UL 1598, IEC and CSA C22.2 before being sent to third party test/approval houses. This can reduce product time-to-market, saving time and costs in the process. The Sentinel series is ideal for R&D facilities and compliance laboratories, while design, quality assurance,
and manufacturing and production engineers will also benefit from the easy-to-use safety test features. The fast, safe and accurate testing of high voltages up to 5kV AC and 6kV DC is provided across the range while accurate testing up to 500 VA AC power output -
allowing for 100mA tripping
currents, a requirement in many standards - is available on the Sentinel 500 and 501 units. The latter also provides earth bond/insulation resistance testing.

odge Clemco has added three preventive maintenance packages to its existing Emergency and Health Check services. The three new packages, carried out by a nation-wide team of specialist engineers, are designed to minimise breakdowns, taking account of the usage and importance of blasting equipment to different customers. A Bronze package provides a single visit to service the machines on a company’s premises. HC service staff carry out an inspection of the equipment, a full service and minor adjustments and provide a condition report and a quotation for any spare parts required. With the Silver package customers can specify the number of visits they require each year and book them in advance, resulting in regular, professional maintenance that ensures equipment is working efficiently and with minimal risk of breakdowns. Technical support is available free-of-charge during working hours as well as a discount on emergency call-out charges. The Gold service includes an agreed number of visits based on Hodge Clemco’s assessment of usage, the importance of fully functioning equipment to the business and the specific type of equipment being used. Any emergency call-outs are free-of-charge and prioritised, and flexible payment terms are again available.

JD Neuhaus hoists give tank cleaning a lift
M
ore and more companies are turning to air-operated hoists for effective ways to clean storage tanks. These innovative lifting devices, which offer precise load placement control through convenient hand pendants, are being used successfully for truck tank cleaning operations worldwide. In fact, J D Neuhaus air-operated hoists are deployed in a wide variety of transport tank cleaning applications, including road and rail transit tankers and marine transporters. Typically, injector heads with nozzles are used to clean inside these inherently dirty vessels by dispensing hot/cold water or steam at high pressures. If required, sometimes solvents are also included in the cleaning solution. JDN hoists lift, support and accurately position the injector heads to ensure a thorough clean. For ease of traversing, overhead rail trolleys are mounted to the hoists, to ensure the entire internal area of the tank is efficiently washed and cleaned.

Fortress and Troax Partner Up for Perimeter Guarding F
ortress Interlocks and Troax have
combined forces to create a new perimeter guarding system to protect workers from dangerous machinery. The system utilises a unique new bracket for fitting Fortress interlocks to
Troax
perimeter guarding panels, enabling the safeguarding of virtually any machinery installation. Very easy to install for both end users and OEMs,
the brackets are 100%
compatible with Fortress’ modular amGardpro and tGard ranges of modular interlocks and panels.
Troax’s modular mesh This means that whatever
configuration of interlocks or mesh panels is specified first, the brackets will always fit. Both the amGardpro and tGard interlocks combine solenoid or non- solenoid safety switches with full control functionality in one device, allowing their use across a vast array of industrial applications.
Not only is the new perimeter guarding system easy to install, it is also impact resistant to 1600 joule, making it highly robust.

Troax offers a simple, modular and very tough machine guarding option for virtually any application,” commented Fortress’ Managing Director Rob Lewis. “We’re delighted to have partnered up with Troax in this way and believe it offers a great alternative to existing guarding systems.”
