Brammer Buck & Hickman opens new East Midlands hub
Brammer Buck & Hickman, a Rubix company and the UK’s leading supplier of industrial maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) products and services, has announced the opening of a new East Midlands Hub, formed from the merger of its Nottingham and Leicester branches in to a larger, single, more accessible location. The new East Midlands Hub, adjacent to East Midlands Airport,
is considerably larger than either of the previous branches, enabling a wider range of stock to be held on site for instant customer access and choice. All the staff – including all the sales teams and delivery and vending drivers - from both the Nottingham and Leicester branches will continue to serve customers in the same helpful, efficient and friendly manner as before. Customers can continue to use all the same contact details as before, although a new telephone
number, 01332 300825, is in operation, along with a new email address eastmidlands@bbh-
rubix.com. Existing numbers and emails will be redirected and will continue to work.

ESAB Savage A40 Air with PAPR offers heavy-duty protection from welding fumes and particulates
Helmets such as ESAB’s Savage A40 Air with Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) technology are essential for workers in situations where welding fumes and particulates are a concern, such as for some cored wires, working in confined or poorly ventilated spaces and for protecting operators from hexavalent chromium fumes generated from stainless steel, chrome alloys and chrome-coated metals. The Savage A40 Air combines exceptional performance and value. The unit has three settings
that adjust airflow between 170 and 230 l/min. to suit the environment and application. It operates at a quiet 70 dB and features a high-capacity, lithium-ion rechargeable battery that offers up to 8 hours of performance. The high-tech Savage A40 Air provides extreme comfort and protection in all processes, offers a 50 x 100mm viewing area for a wider field of vision and weighs 700 g.

ABB launches world’s first Power over Ethernet flowmeters
ABB has incorporated power supply through Ethernet connectivity on board the latest edition of their electromagnetic flowmeter ProcessMaster* and mass flowmeter CoriolisMaster, opening a new chapter in instrumentation and industrial communication. Power over Ethernet (PoE) offers several benefits for process engineers, as it omits the need for a
separate DC power infrastructure, providing power and communications via the same cable. This brings new agility as flowmeters can be installed wherever needed. In addition, ABB 4-wire Ethernet combines classic outputs with future communication protocols. Offering a modular design allows the combination of both worlds and ensures that devices are future-proof, increasing the longevity of the flowmeters. Furthermore, flowmeters with Ethernet connectivity increase simplicity, flexibility and reliability to
operations in process automation, while enhancing real-time visibility of data. Previously hidden data in field devices, such as measurement values on density, conductivity or concentration of the medium, can be unlocked. This in turn will help customers across all industries identify redundant measurement points in their plants to achieve savings along the way. “ProcessMaster and CoriolisMaster with Ethernet will support our customers’ digital journey
towards smart cities and Industry 4.0. Ethernet is the leading communications technology. By incorporating it into the ABB flowmeters, we can help even more customers reduce complexity of

operations and lower costs of infrastructure in
more plants around the world – safely and remotely.” said Frank Frenzel, Global Product Line Manager Process Flowmeters. An integrated secure webserver based
on the ABB Ability™ Cyber Security framework ensures robust and secure operations that offer instrumentation engineers support during commissioning and troubleshooting. It also provides access to configuration, diagnostics and measurement data through a built-in QR code. This allows verification of all parts of the flowmeter and provides insights into its operating condition with automatically generated reports. Combining 4..20 mA or digital outputs with new 1- or 2-port Ethernet makes classic instrumentation truly future-proof, with speeds of up to 100Mbit/s. The flowmeters use various Ethernet based communication protocols, such as simple Modbus TCP or high performance EtherNet/IP. This prepares them for IT/OT convergence, cloud connectivity and the requirements needed for secure and encrypted communication both today and tomorrow.
*Ethernet connectivity for the electromagnetic flowmeter ProcessMaster is currently available in North America only. It will be released globally later in 2021.
