Fulton introduces two new larger outputs to expand its VSRT range


Claimed to be the most radical change to vertical steam boiler design since it first pioneered the vertical tubeless boiler in 1949, Fulton’s VSRT has rocked the steam boiler market since its launch in 2018 to become class-leading and a symbol of efficiency, with many users benefitting from generous savings in gas and water consumption in addition to CO2 and NOX emissions. At launch, the seven-model VSRT range was available with outputs from 160 to 960 kg/h, but with demand increasing for an energy efficient boiler with larger outputs like those of horizontal reverse-flame steam boilers, Fulton is now expanding the range and introducing two new re-designed VSRT models with outputs of 1565 and 1956 kg/h.

World’s most remote robot automates Amazon reforestation project


A pilot project between ABB Robotics and US non-profit organization Junglekeepers is demonstrating the role Cloud technology can play in making reforestation faster, more efficient and scalable. ABB Robotics is supporting Junglekeepers in their mission to protect 55,000 acres of Amazon rainforest and reverse deforestation. In a first-of-its-kind demonstration, ABB’s cobot YuMi is automating planting tasks in a jungle laboratory, speeding the process and allowing Junglekeepers’ volunteers to focus their valuable time and resources on more impactful work. Through ABB RobotStudio Cloud technology, ABB experts simulate, refine and deploy the programming required for YuMi’s tasks in the jungle from 12,000 kms (7,460 miles) away Västerås, Sweden – enabling the world’s most remote robot. “ABB’s collaboration with Junglekeepers demonstrates how robotics and Cloud technology can play a central role in fighting deforestation as one of the major contributors to climate change”, said Sami Atiya, President of ABB Robotics and Discrete Automation. “

24/7 boiler room performance monitoring with Babcock Wanson’s Navinergy


Now available from industrial process heating specialist Babcock Wanson is the Navinergy digital platform for 24/7 boiler room performance monitoring. This innovative system allows customers to monitor their boiler room from any device, anywhere in the world, to optimise energy and water efficiency, and ensure regulatory compliance. The Navinergy platform integrates all the components needed to supervise and operate the boiler room, including control, regulation, recording, visualisation and communication. Using a local Modbus TCP network, Navinergy gathers, records and stores field data from all the connected boiler room equipment. The data is presented in the form of graphs or a performance report, which can be customised to customers’ precise needs. These are sent to customers at regular intervals, but can also be easily generated whenever required, for up to date information.

Bunting is one of the world’s leading designers and manufacturers of magnetic separators, eddy current separators, metal detectors and electrostatic separators. The Bunting European manufacturing facilities are in Redditch, just outside Birmingham, and Berkhamsted, both in the United Kingdom. Towable Electromagnetic Sweepers clear damaging ferrous metal debris from large surface areas such as airport runways, roads, car parks, warehouses, and factories. Such metal damages vehicle tyres (e.g. causing punctures) and is an injury risk to employees (e.g. trip hazard and impaling injuries). The Towable Electromagnetic Sweepers are suitable for a wide range of vehicles including fork trucks, cars, SUVs, and service vehicles. The strong magnetic attractive force lifts and holds ferrous metals such as nails, screws, and swarf from floors and roadways. The model EMRS2400 Towable Electromagnetic Sweeper destined for the Middle East has a magnetic working width of 2.4 meters. An independent 4.8kW diesel generator mounted on the towing angle delivers the current to produce the strong electromagnetic field. The sweeper features two large, heavy-duty tyres and a jockey wheel for easy manoeuvrability. The overall width is 3 meters, with 1.69 metres between the towing eye and rear of the towing wheels. The sweeper has a maximum height of just over 1 meter, with the sweeper face having three 50mm adjustable heights. A small control box is mounted on the top surface of the sweeper, featuring a rotating flashing beacon, alongside a magnet on/off button and an emergency stop. “This design of Electromagnetic Sweeper enables the efficient cleaning of ferrous metal debris from vehicle road surfaces,” explained Bradley Greenwood, Bunting’s European sales manager. “The sweeper is designed and built at our Redditch facility in the UK for the client in the Middle East. This is another great export project for Bunting.”
