ESAB redesigns psf mig/mag torches for enhanced industrial
The modernised PSF series of MIG/MAG welding torches from ESAB Welding & Cutting Products includes the new PSF 520W water- cooled torch. It features a 100% duty cycle rating at 500 A with both mixed gas and CO2, to take on demanding jobs with wires up to 1.6 mm in diameter. The PSF 520W features a dual-circuit
cooling system that brings cooling water all the way to the seat of the gas nozzle, as well as to the conductor tube. The torch stays cooler and more comfortable in high-heat and high arc-on time applications, such as pulsed MIG welding and using large diameter Flux-Cored wires. Additional benefits of reduced heat through dual-circuit cooling include better wire feedability, longer consumables life, a more stable arc, lower spatter adhesion, easier cleaning and less risking of shielding gas turbulence.

Union Industries delivers for global packaging leader Greif Flexibles
A global leader in industrial packaging products and services has benefited from the installation of three of Union Industries’ bespoke high-speed roller doors.
Greif Flexibles’ manufacturing site in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, required a bespoke solution to reduce energy consumption by preventing heat loss and to provide segregation of the warehouse and production areas to ensure employee safety. Additionally, their internal openings within the facility were subjected to high wind forces from the external doorway which required a robust high-speed door, specially designed for wind resistance.
Union Industries, the UK’s market-leading manufacturer of bespoke warehousing and industrial
solutions, installed two of its Bulldoors and a Ramdoor at the facility, which is based at Dalton Airfield. The high-speed doors prevent the severe drop of ambient temperature in the building, especially in
the winter months, which eliminates any potential impact on the production environment. Union Industries’ Bulldoor is often regarded as the ‘reliable workhorse’ of rapid roll doors and has
been known to perform more than 1.4million cycles per year, making it a popular choice across several industries. The Bulldoors feature specialist Crash-Out’ and ‘Auto-Reset’ damage protection facilities, and offers control outputs for options such as airlocks, traffic control systems and remote monitoring, in addition to temperature control for ambient and chilled environments.
The Ramdoor, an equally robust solution, is constructed using heavy duty materials and components
that makes it suitable for most applications and is specially designed to achieve a Class 5 wind resistance capacity. It also features Union Industries’ ‘Crash-Out' facility, as well as a high quality Windbar systems, counterweight assisted opening, and a heavy duty ‘Ramhide’ door blade.
Greif Flexibles produces a wide range of speciality packaging products, including steel, plastic and
fibre drums, intermediate bulk containers, reconditioned containers, flexible products, containerboard, uncoated recycled paperboard and coated recycled paperboard, tubes and cores. It also manufactures packaging accessories and provides filling, packaging and other services for multiple industries.
Nigel Booth, Business Operations Director, Greif Flexibles, said: “Following extensive research of the
industrial door market, Union Industries stood out as the best supplier of the product, which would meet our requirements. Union’s doors are very effective in supporting our drive for high levels of productivity and operational efficiencies.”
Robert Howe, Technical Sales Engineer at Union Industries, said: “Our high-speed roller doors are
growing in popularity and are renowned for their ‘workhorse’ nature within many production facilities, as they have been specifically engineered and designed for long usage and high intensity operations. We are delighted to have provided the team at Greif Flexibles with a durable and robust solution, which will also support its environmental policy.
“The installation of the Bulldoors and Ramdoor was conducted in a timely and efficient manner, with
minimal disruption to Greif Flexibles’ operations, and we look forward to working with the global leader again in the future.”
Feeling chilly? Aganto’s insulated temporary buildings may be the answer
As the evenings draw in and Autumn is well underway, it’s a good time to ensure your temporary building will be adequately lit, heated and insulated for the winter months. An insulated building will reduce the effects of condensation and maintain an ambient temperature for a comfortable working environment. With UK temperatures averaging between 2-7˚C
in Winter, investment in an insulated building with heating will aid workforce productivity and help to keep equipment and stock moisture-free. Aganto’s Insulate Range provide effective temperature and sound insulation with sandwich cladding
and double skin PVC polyester roofing, which can be inflated to create a layer of air. The lightweight material allows natural light through without UV-damage and keeps the need for artificial lighting to a minimum. If you are considering heating for a temporary building, Jumbo oil-fired heaters are ideal for most applications.
