PRODUCTS & SERVICES Fortress Develops Modern
Industrial safety specialist Fortress Interlocks has significantly developed its amGard range of heavy duty, safety gate switch interlocks to create amGard Pro. amGard Pro builds on the recognised modularity and robust design of the existing amGard range but with added features and benefits identified by market feedback. Some added features include forward and backward compatibility, stainless steel heads, emergency release options, anti-vibration parts and non- contact technology. The Pro range integrates modern technology to deliver new control functionality but still offers the option for traditional lockout retro-fitting, creating a variety of new configurations not previously available. amGard Pro has been tested to withstand up to 10KN retention force, making it Fortress’ strongest yet. Tony Baggott, Sales & Marketing Director at
Fortress Interlocks, commented: “We have revamped the amGard range as part of a long term programme to ensure our products remain at the forefront of industrial interlock technology. amGard Pro builds on the success of amGard, and the new developments keep pace with changing technology while ensuring compliance with developing global standards.
amGard Pro is the ideal safety interlock for safeguarding plant and personnel in heavy duty environments. ” The new amGard Pro range is now available. For more information, please visit

Hosokawa Micron Introduces Viblette Wet Sieving Unit
Well known for its iconic Alpine Air Jet Sieve for laboratory sieving and particle size measuring of fine powders, Hosokawa Micron has now introduced the Viblette™ VBL for fast, accurate wet sieving in the laboratory. The new unit has applications when wet sieving has to be used for analysis due to the dry material’s highly cohesive nature. Examples of such materials would be carbon black, some mineral fillers and some dielectric materials.
This state of the art machine uses enhanced vibration to deliver short measuring times up to 1/3rd that of conventional wet sieves. The electro magnetic vibration mechanism breaks the liquid film formed on the sieve surface, which is a problem with other wet sieving devices. This ensures effective powder wetting and short sieving times.
The incorporation of specially designed showering nozzles allow the Hosokawa Micron Viblette™ VBL to achieve accurate sieving using up to 1/6th the amount of water than conventional wet sieves.
Liquid is sprayed through sprinkler shower nozzles onto powdery sample on the sieve. The sprinkler rotating above the sieve is driven by liquid pressure and the design ensures even wetting of the powder and independent control of both liquid rate and rotation speed is provided to ensure maximum versatility. There is very little wash liquid waste. Repeatability of testing is ensured as sprinkler rotation, liquid rate and the amplitude of vibration can be varied and controlled to preset levels. This

ensures consistent repeatability and very accurate measurement of particle size. In addition to the standard 200mm drum size an adaptor is provided so that 75mm sieves can be used up to 3 sets for simultaneous measurement. Even 10 micron screening is possible with the
new Viblette™ VBL.
The Viblette™ VBL can process quantities of slurry up to 10 Litres/minute and uses a special optional feeding device for this application as required. Tel: (01928) 755100 Email:
