ADVERTORIAL TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION


Dawson Shanahan invests in new machines to meet demand D


high precision CNC lathes which are both flexible and versatile enough to meet high production demands. The new machines are part of an on-going programme of


investment and expansion, which underpins Dawson Shanahan’s long-term goal to grow organically by at least 15% year on year.

ABB appoints Betech as UK provider for NEMA motors


B


etech is appointed the first UK ABB authorised value provider for low voltage motors covering the North


American NEMA standard. The Yorkshire based company has over 20 years’


experience in sales, support and application know how for the NEMA product portfolio, having previously worked with Baldor motors before that company was acquired by ABB. Richard Gee, ABB’s UK Channel Manager for low voltage


motors, says: “With its history, expertise and contacts, Betech is ideally placed to become the first UK official NEMA motor partner. As a US standard, NEMA motors are particularly in demand from OEMs exporting machinery to or from the US, or to territories that specify North American standards, such as Saudi Arabia.” As a fully certified ABB authorised value provider,


Betech can access ABB’s extensive NEMA stock held in Germany and the USA, as well its own local stocks.

luke Process Instruments presents its range of thermal profilers and infrared temperature measurement solutions at the THERMPROCESS


trade fair. The latest addition to the IR pyrometer portfolio, Thermalert 4.0, enables automatic noncontact temperature monitoring in a -40…2250 °C range. Due to the outstanding ambient temperature range of -20…85 °C, more measuring points can be set up without cooling. Another IR innovation, the industrial-grade thermal imager ThermoView TV40 with an integrated visible-light camera, is also on show. The fixed-installation thermal camera enables 24/7 temperature monitoring in a -10…1200 °C range. Developed to meet today’s demanding industrial automation requirements, it supports GigE streaming of images and automatic alarms.


The manufacturer’s thermal profiling systems are represented by Datapaq TP3 data loggers, featuring up to 20 thermocouple channels and outstanding 3.6 million data points memory capacity.

Union Industries Draws the Curtain on Waste Ammonia


of the composting waste, evaporates ammonia and water from within the piles into the air, which spread into the surrounding environment. Despite the negative pressure extraction systems installed into each of the


composting booths at the centre, corrosive gases were still able to readily spread into the main bio-hall. Union Industries installed its high-grade industrial curtains complete with stainless-


steel tracks to replace the existing highly corroded system in place at the waste recycling centre. The curtains, which are made with lacquered PVC coated polyester, deliver a corrosion resistant solution to wide-ranging applications, The installation featured additional lateral tensioning straps for the curtains, PVC


pelmet and a hardwearing ‘ramskin’ flap to the curtain base, which were incorporated into the design to maintain an effective seal around the curtain. This preserved the negative pressure within the bays and minimised the gases escaping into the Bio Hall. The difference was immediately noticeable as condensation formed within the bays


and was visible on the vision panels installed within the curtains, as opposed to it escaping into the adjoining area. This had previously been the case and the cause of the issue for Amey. John Allen, AD Supervisor at Amey, said: “The curtains now ensure the atmosphere is


drawn through the correct ventilation system. This leads to the ammonia scrubber before it is released to the atmosphere through a biofilter, and without Union Industries support or products this wouldn’t have been achieved.” Alan Hirst, Sales Director at Union Industries, added: “This was another large-scale


recycling centre in the South East. Amey, the main contractor at the centre, required a robust solution to prevent the


U


contamination of ammonia across the site. The global consultancy and infrastructure support services company turned to Leeds-


based Union Industries and its bespoke, heavy-duty industrial curtains to solve the issue. The replacement curtains were used to separate the Aerated Static Piles composting


process from the main Bio Hall area of the centre. The composting process accelerates the rate at which organic materials, such as food and garden waste, biodegrade. As oxygen is pumped through the waste, bacteria from the piles composts the waste and produces ammonia as one of its by-products. The increased temperature, as a result

nion Industries, the UK’s market-leading manufacturer of bespoke warehousing and industrial solutions, has ‘drawn the curtain’ on waste ammonia at a significant waste


installation by our team, and one that was delivered on-time, to budget and provided an effective solution for the customer. No job is too big, small or, in this case, uncomfortable and messy. There was a noticeable difference once the curtains were in place, which has greatly enhanced the day-to-day running of the waste recycling centre. “Our industrial curtains are built on decades of engineering excellence and


experience, which have been installed all over the world to solve similar contamination issues across a range of sectors. We are proud of the positive feedback from the customer and look forward to working with Amey again in the future.”
