Boden And Ward solve stone dust issues with VertEx VP
Boden and Ward are a family owned stone masonry company based in Northampton but with a national footprint. Boden and Ward produce high grade stone work for a range of clients, ranging from staircases and fireplaces to refurbishment works for listed buildings. In 2018, Boden and Ward identified an
issue in their own workshops with stone dust exposure and identified the VertEx system from AirBench as a potential solution. Following a site visit and inspection by Technical Sales Manager Chris Dawson, two key problem
areas were identified. AirBench Ltd recommended the VertEx VPL system – an extracted wall with pulse-cleaning filter system and final H13 HEPA filtration. B&W installed multiple VPL units in banks of 2 and have now had the units in operation for around a year. AirBench provide an annual service contract but otherwise the units are easily serviced in-house.

ESAB launches first portable wire feeder with ip44 protection class rating for extreme durability
ESAB Welding & Cutting Products today introduced the Robust Feed Pro portable wire feeder, the first product in its category with an IP44 protection class rating, which means it is protected against water splashes from all directions, as well as solid objects larger than 1 mm. The completely-sealed Robust Feed Pro
has a double-wall design with special impact zones made from a more flexible material to absorb more impact energy. All controls, power and gas connections are inside the case with a dedicated service cover, providing easy access to the electronics. “The Robust Feed Pro is the only feeder on the market that you can leave outside in a heavy rain. A heat kit inside the units wards off condensation and keeps the wire dry,” says Arne Lagerkvist

Packaging made from 100% post-consumer waste New for 2020, Bell has announced that it can supply Retran packaging made from 100% post-consumer waste. The material has been approved by the European Food Standards Agency for direct contact with food.
Traditionally the surfaces of Retran have required a virgin layer of film for food applications; however the new formulation means that virgin film layer is no longer necessary.
The new material contains 100% recycled polymer which is derived from home
waste i.e. plastic rubbish that has been thrown out, collected, sorted and turned back into material that can be used again.
Critical to the product is the source of the waste which is essential to ensure
continuity of supply and maintain little or no difference in the colour of the film from batch to batch.
Retailers require certainty about the origin of their packaging, therefore the new material supplied by Bell is fully certified.
Commenting on the development, managing director Peter Lennie, states: “When we first launched Retran offering a 70% recycled content our key client base

was delighted; however our ambition has always been to reach the magical 100% figure and this opens up a range of new application areas for our packaging solutions.
"This is the most exciting development that Bell has announced in 2019 and we
know it will be a huge success throughout Europe. With Government, local authority and consumers demand for improved recyclability, Retran provides a fantastic opportunity and delivers a 100% recyclable finished product."
“The new material is currently on test with some key clients and as soon as we have their feedback, we will roll the material out to the rest of our customer base.”
