Duro cuts it up What’s better than a blade that can cut and break concrete, granite,
natural stone, glass, bricks, kerbs and all manner of other hard and/or dense materials? Two conjoined blades that can get the job done much faster and more effectively, of course. Such is the promise of the 230DU-CB blade set from our chums at
Duro. While the company doesn’t claim to have invented such cutting technology, the new kit perhaps takes it to the next level. At the business end of the 230mm diameter device are 12mm laser welded micro segments, which are 2.6mm thick. Keyhole gullets cut into the surface of the blades are designed to reduce chipping and vibrations, while the twin-blade construction is bound to make mincemeat of the aforementioned media to depths up to 400mm. With such features, the new blade set conforms to EN 13236 (safety
requirements for superabrasive products) and sits within Duro’s premium ‘Ultra’ range. It is thus a boon for Husqvarna 760, 4000 and 4000EL cut and break machines.

High and dry The Ecor Pro LGR range of refrigerant dehumidifiers,
which includes the EPD170LGR Low Grain Refrigerant dehumidifier, offers class-leading efficiency figures from a robust, well-specced machine. The EPD170LGR is a floor-standing and stackable

It has a maximum extraction rate at maximum temperature and humidity of more than 80 litres, and an operating range of 4°C to 40°C. The integral pump has a maximum water height of 11ft/3.5m.
