contact between mating metal surfaces so they can carry high loads and are particularly effective in combination with shrink- or press fits. Two of the most popular products in this range are


typical examples of the improved formulation. LOCTITE® 638 and 648 are single component acrylic adhesives that are now able to tolerate minor surface contamination from various oils such as those used for metal cutting, lubrication, corrosion resistance and protection. This, together with their ability to withstand higher operating temperatures, considerably extends the application scope of these retaining compounds.

such as: - Control Valves; Primary Isolation Valves; Butterfly Valves; Actuation; Flow Measurement and Control; Gas Valves and Material Technology (casting & forging). Some of the courses will be run as workshops with the opportunity for ‘hands on’ learning. Additionally, industry specialists (guests) will offer a unique insight into the role that innovation has played to reduce revenue loss.

InfraLab e-Series at-line analyzer from NDC Technologies N


DC Technologies, a leading global provider of precision measurement and control solutions, offers the InfraLab e-Series at-line analyzer for the


accurate and reliable measurement of Degree of Bake (DOB) or Brownness in biscuits, crackers, cookies and snack foods. NDC has integrated its proven DOB or Brownness measurements into the InfraLab at-line analyzer to provide simultaneous measurements of Moisture, Oil and DOB in five seconds. With no special skill required to operate, the InfraLab delivers process vision far beyond that of conventional testing. This provides unprecedented feedback to the process controller for improved control of Moisture, Oil and DOB which offers financial benefits such as:


• Reduced start-up times and scrap • Production of more consistent, within specification product (minimise “checking”)


• Improved operating efficiency • Acrylamide mitigation

Highly efficient and hygienic: IE4 smooth-surface motors N


synchronous motors without cooling fins achieve level IE4 / super premium efficiency. This can greatly benefit the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, and other hygienically demanding applications. The efficient smooth-surface motors are suitable for use in dry areas as well as in applications requiring frequent cleaning. As they generate very little excess heat, they need no fans and therefore do not contribute to the spreading of germs.


The IE4 or Super Premium Efficiency synchronous motors operate significantly more efficiently than induction


motors, specifically in the partial load range. This results in substantially lower cost for energy consumption and lower TCO. The motors furthermore feature a particularly high power density and a very long product life. Frequency inverters can be mounted directly onto the motor or near the motor for perfect flexibility.

The biggest pumping problem with such heat treatment de-scaling installations is the solid scale particles that invariably bypass filtration stages to some extent in such re-circulating, closed loop systems. Such abrasive particles cause severe damage to pumps that rely on close internal tolerances for efficiency. Seal wear, caused by the finest particles can be expensive and at worst catastrophic for these types of pumps. Hydra-Cell diaphragm pumps have no dynamic seals to wear
