ESAB Europe xpanse virtual welding and cutting event features 50+ products, expert access and educational classes
Worldwide welding and cutting leader ESAB has announced that from 27 to 29 April 2021 it will hold ESAB Europe Xpanse, a virtual event that will showcase the industry’s broadest line-up of new welding and cutting systems, filler metals and related technologies. By visiting
www.esabxpanse.com, visitors can tour a virtual exhibition stand, chat live with product and process experts, watch videos on products from our influencers, participate in ESAB University online classes, and take a walk through our hall of history. Materials for the event will be available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Polish. “ESAB Europe Xpanse is the antidote to the typical Teams meeting or Zoom call,” says Cheron
Robinson, Regional MARCOM Manager Europe. “We are taking the concept of a virtual trade show to a new level and will provide an industry-first-of-its-kind immersive experience to introduce dozens of new welding and cutting products. Until we can gather in person, there will be no other event to rival the resources available at ESAB Europe Xpanse.”
A Virtual Stand ESAB Europe Xpanse mimics the company’s real-world trade show stand, which features different product and technology centres to explore. Visitors can tour the stand with their mouse and keyboard, use an overhead map view to visit specific areas or take a guided tour based on preference. Because in-person gatherings are not an option, ESAB has created more than 50 videos featuring its product and technology experts. During show hours, from 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. CET, the Xpanse stand is staffed with experts to answer questions via a built-in chat function.

Speedor Storms for major manufacturer
Hart Doors has recently installed a pair of its high-speed Speedor Storm doors at a major manufacturing/recycling plant in the Midlands. The plant, which annually supplies over 275,000 tonnes of polythene products, also recycles over 95,000 tonnes of UK waste from industrial, commercial, agricultural and domestic sources.
“Together with the latest Speedor Storms we have nearly 30 Speedors on site,” says Melanie
Rosby, marketing manager, Hart Doors. “The doors are a crucial part of an objective to improve energy efficiency, maintain a better working environment and temperatures within the building as well as reducing vermin access.”
The new doors will form an automatic interlock so that the outer door will close allowing
Are you ready to ship under ISPM15 regulations?
For any UK business shipping goods within the EU, the latest changes to regulations will be a vital consideration. Wooden packaging, including pallets, must now meet ISPM15 standards when being shipped. This regulation ensures pallets have been treated to eradicate pests and are then stamped to reinforce this action has been carried out. While demand and prices for these types of compliant pallets will be on the rise, there are alternatives to consider. The best alternative to Wooden Pallets, is Plastic Pallets. Plastic Pallets completely avoid the
ISPM15 regulations, are more hygienic and reliable, and making the switch now will minimize any potential disruption to your supply chain now that these regulations have come into effect.

the inner door to open automatically and hold open while deliveries are made. Each Speedor has a clear vision panel.
The doors are suitable for high usage of up to 1 million operations. Hart’s area salesman Peter Cairns says the customer has been a Hart client since 1990. “We
have Speedor Supers still working from that time,” says Mr Cairns. “The 30 or so doors on site are a mix of Supers, Storms and Roller shutters and we also have the maintenance contract for site.”
He adds: “The recent installation is two Storms in automatic airlock which is the first time
we have done this with two Storms. The new airlock is designed to omit minimal heat loss from the factory whilst loading goods out of the factory into an annex, where goods are collected.
“The heat loss affects the machinery as well as the work force. There is also a safety
element which means one door cannot open until the other door is closed. Once the door is fully closed the other door opens automatically.”
