NEWS THE BIG SIX IN NEW FLUID MOTION SOLUTIONS GROUP
Motion Solutions. Featuring long-established names such as Mono, Moyno and Chemineer, established in
N
the 1930’s and 1950’s respectively, Fluid Motion Solutions is backed by an experienced team of specialists, as well as a global service and aftermarket team – plus customer access to application software for optimum pumping and mixing results. Based in Manchester, alongside the existing manufacture of Mono progressive cavity
pumps, screens and grinders, the Fluid Motion Solutions business unit will also produce Chemineer agitators, Kenics static mixers and heat exchangers, as well as heat exchangers, high shear Greerco mixers, and belt-driven side entry Prochem mixers. “With such a comprehensive portfolio of pumping and mixing brands, we have the
answer to almost any customer challenge”, said Irfan Rehman, sales director for Fluid Motion Solutions. He added: “Bringing this new group together at one centre of excellence in Manchester is
a very positive, forward-looking move that will allow us to expand our pump and mixer range; delivering a series of new, innovative products and services to industry”. Fluid Motion Solutions
will also make grinders and screens specifically designed for industries requiring solids reduction or waste conditioning.

WHITEPAPER OUTLINES THE BENEFITS OF OIL-FREE COMPRESSORS C
ompAir has published a new whitepaper for the food and beverage industry, discussing how the right compressed air system can make an important contribution to an organisation’s sustainability ambitions, and help protect the environment. Available to download for free from
https://www.compair.com/en-gb/industries-and-
applications/food-and-beverage, the whitepaper considers how oil-free compressor technologies can help secure a competitive advantage for food and drink manufacturers. Unlike compressed air usage in other industries, there are no standards or legislation that define an acceptable minimum purity level for compressed air used in food manufacture. While regulations and codes around the world state that compressed air used in this environment must be contaminant-free and pose no risk, no actual limits are stipulated. The risk to food and drink from compressed air processes can potentially be significant if
the right precautions and preventative measures have not been taken. Moisture, oil and other particles all pose a risk in applications where compressed air is commonly used, such as drying and filtering. As a result, all food and drinks manufacturers need to ensure compressed air purity levels
are never compromised. The whitepaper discusses the main technologies that can help, including water-injected models, two-stage screw compressors, enclosed reciprocating scroll systems, and the latest solutions which use two independent magnetic motors that can drive two compressor stages independently from one another, leading to optimal efficiency levels without the need for any mechanical gears. Plus, with oil-free models rendering additional products such as oil separators obsolete, these systems can help improve energy efficiencies while cutting on-going costs too. The whitepaper also outlines the efficiencies that can be gained from digital maintenance
platforms, which enable a proactive approach to maintenance. Simon Taylor, Oil-free sales manager for UK & Ireland at CompAir, said: “
...The whitepaper
explains the standards, regulations and minimum requirements covering the use of compressed air in this sector, as well as the models available to meet this demand. It also covers measures such as heat recovery, which ‘captures’ waste heat and uses it for other purposes, such as process water or space heating. This can make a big difference to a business’ efficiency levels and its bottom line, as well as its impact on the environment...”

ittle space, little time, and yet as much flexibility as possible: the requirements packaging machines are expected to
meet are manifold. A NEO machine from Meypack packages malleable and flexible bags that are ready for sale. The company, based in Germany, installed Eisele’s MULTILINE multiple connectors in its prototype, which allowed them to satisfy the requirements they imposed on space and speed and the necessary level of flexibility. The packaging specialist Meypack
Verpackungssystemtechnik develops machines for secondary packaging and palletising. It is imperative - especially in the food industry - to package new products at short notice and in a cost-effective manner - and without compromising on quality. Since multiple cylinders have to be
supplied with compressed air, the company steered clear of simple compressed air couplings for reasons of space. Meypack decided to pair the machine with the multiple connectors with 8-fold socket body that are included in Eisele’s MULTILINE series. Each connector is fitted with six adaptive inserts with shut-off and double seal, an adaptive insert without shut-off and an A-coded M12- round connector, which is used for the signal transmission to the format parts. The multiple and multi-media connectors of the Eisele MULTILINE ADAPTIVE + E series offer a modular kit system for combining compressed air, vacuum, gases, coolant, liquids, electronics and electrical wiring in one interface. Installation expenses and set-up times can
be reduced using the multiple connector. “We only need 25 minutes for the complete format changeover from very small to very large”, confirmed Nowak from Meypack. “This quick change can largely be attributed to the locking lever”. The fully customised multiple connectors
make it possible to exchange all functions in one single step and without any tools. Since all connections can be integrated into one connector, the required installation space is minimal as well. Another advantage is that all individual parts are compatible with each other. The base body is composed of plug and socket. The number of connections and the maximum outer diameter can be customised. Thanks to the inserts, it is now possible to combine exactly the media that are needed for each application.
