ADVERTORIALS New Explosion-Proof Pump N 680.1.2
Safe emission protection and product recovery in processes handling explosive media The new KNF N 680.1.2 Ex is an
explosion-proof diaphragm pump for transferring explosive gases and vapors. Strict regulations are in place
SEPURA’s World Class Filtration
Since filtration specialist Bowman Stor developed its first separator in 2004, the reputation of its unique range of SEPURA™ oil/water condensate-filtering equipment has continued to grow, driven by smart design, excellent service and game-changing filtration media. At the heart of SEPURA’s outstanding performance
(with condensate output levels as low as 5 mg/ml (5ppm) oil content) and exceptional service life is SILEXA™ filtration media; a patented sustainable, oil-ad- sorbing material developed in Bowmans’ own R&D facili- ties. A proud UK manufacturer, Bowman has wasted no
time in sharing it’s SEPURA products with the rest of the world, helping industries on almost every continent to meet their environmental targets. Having forged strong International partnerships, the Walsall-based company has now established a network of highly-dependable distributors, strategically-located around the globe.

for the processing and distribu- tion of explosive gases. KNF meets current standards with a new ex- proof pump. The N 680.1.2 belongs to a small group of emission pro- tection and media recovery pumps that run oil-free and are ATEX-compliant in their perform- ance category. From power supply to count-
less industrial processes, gases are almost always involved. This very versatility raises the question of how these resources, which are often valuable or environ- mentally critical, can be used sustainably. Where can products lost during process engineering be recovered, treated and reused? On the other hand, the environment needs to be protected, and damage from volatile organic compounds (VOC) must be prevented. Emission protection and recovery systems are therefore crucial when working with gasoline, additives, diesel, kerosene, alcohol, biofuels and crude oil. The new N 680.1.2 Ex combines the safety of an explosion-proof diaphragm pump with the
trusted reliability and high-quality, low-maintenance performance by KNF. Highly chemically re- sistant, the N 680.1.2 Ex transfers explosive gases and vapors. A flow rate of 220 l/min and an ulti- mate vacuum of 150 mbar abs. make for a high-performance pump for important tasks in process manufacturing. Thanks to these features, this ex-proof pump is particularly suitable for all applications where flammable gases are recovered or the escape of those gases must be pre- vented.

OMRON’s Flexible Manufacturing Roadshow comes to the UK to demonstrate the Factory of the Future
Industrial automation experts OMRON have taken their European Flexible Manufacturing Roadshow on the road to Bradford, featuring exclusive demonstrations of cutting-edge, human-machine collaborative solutions not usually seen outside of a factory setting due to their size and scale. Held on 14th-16th June at Strate-
gic Partner – Reeco Automation’s – new dedicated Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR)Centre in Rowan Park, Bradford, over 75 invited guests from manufacturers across the food & beverage, automotive and pharmaceutical sectors received real-life inspiration for reimagining and reconfiguring their manufacturing lines. The demonstration area, comprising over 200m2showcased a
range of practical solutions for the factories of the future, enabling flexible and intelligent production improvements. The roadshow allowed visitors such as Unilever, Procter and Gamble, Carlsberg and Morrisons, to witness first-hand experience of large-scale human- machine industrial automation solutions to address some of the key challenges affecting manufacturers, such as palletising, transportation and traceability. ˚Facilitating more agile and flexible manufacturing with less reliance
on manual labour, reduced energy consumption and increased OEE, OMRON’s solutions are also futureproofed for the digital era. Featured
at the roadshow was OMRON’s strongest fully autonomous mobile robot (the HD-1500) for heavy loads of up to 1,500 kg, a variety of flexible palletising and autonomous material transportation solutions and the RB1200 cobot palletiserworking in harmony and sustainably with the operators. Other complete solutions to solve the current issues and pains of manufacturers in- cluded box to pallet transportation, box to mobile robot top conveyor and con- veyor to pallet with OMRON TM cobot. Each system featured a combination
of natural navigation and selectable autonomy navigation, IoT dashboard, built-in serialization offering full trace- ability along the entire manufacturing process, and of course, the company’s
intelligent Sysmac Control Platform. OMRON’s UK Marketing Manager Stuart Coulton comments “We are
delighted to bring some of our most dynamic, collaborative human- machine automation solutions out of the factory and on tour for the first time ever in the UK, so that our key customers can look at and touch the flexible manufacturing systems of the future. We hope that the roadshow will inspire today’s manufacturers to reimagine what is possible on their production lines, enabling their facilities to remain agile for years to come.”
