Hart Door Systems, the Newcastle upon Tyne-based specialised engineering company, has won more export work for projects in the Far East, Africa, and the Channel Islands.
Export Manager, John Loftus says the work is in addition to several recent overseas contracts which are now nearing completion. “Existing orders exceed 40 shutters with a further 19 about to be sent to a Hong Kong industrial site where the shutters will protect data equipment in an 18-storey building.
A cable gland performs two basic functions, namely fastening the cable to the apparatus so that it cannot pull out and also earthing the cable armouring to which it is connected.
Cable termination manufacturer Pratley produces a uniquely adjustable cable gland for SWA cable that fits any size armouring. The adjustability of the gland makes it “the world’s easiest to fit,” asserts Marketing Director Eldon Kruger.
Leading cable gland and cable cleat manufacturer, CMP Products has further strengthened its European distribution network, with the opening of a warehouse facility located in Aachen, Germany.
The 1000m2 site, strategically positioned close to the borders of Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg, will act as a central hub for product distribution throughout Europe, improving accessibility and lead times like never before.
Matt Ogden, Cable Gland Product Specialist at Hawke International, the leading manufacturer of glands for harsh and hazardous environments, discusses the limitations of using glands with metallic compound pots, and the benefits delivered by transparent, non-metallic alternatives.
In hazardous environments, every item of equipment – no matter how small – must successfully play its part. This absolutely includes cable glands, tasked with protecting extremely expensive machinery. But cable gland strategies are too often overlooked.
This is a mistake. Cable glands are not commodity products, not mere bits of brass and rubber. Indeed, there have been some recent developments with the development of non-metallic compound pots, which could have a profound effect on organisations working in hazardous environments. So let’s take a closer look at the merits of non-metallic compound pots for cable glands compared to more traditional, metallic pots.
Hiab, part of Cargotec, has completed the acquisition of the US demountables manufacturer Galfab, which makes roll-off hoists and related equipment for the domestic waste industry.
It will become part of Hiab’s Demountables, Forestry & Recycling Cranes division. The acquisition broadens Hiab’s demountable portfolio while Galfab’s equipment will be included in Hiab’s nationwide US sales and service network.
Do you have a need to lift or move drums, de-palletise or just generally move drums around a workshop or factory site in Hazardous Areas.
The St Clare Engineering range of Grab-O-Matic ATEX fork attachment and pedestrian drum handlers will provide a safe and efficient solution for you.
The Grab-O-Matic DLR range of rim grip fork attachment drum handlers are suitable for all types of steel drums, plastic ‘L’ ring drums and most fibre drums.
The extensive drum handling range includes the SC10 for lifting and rotating drums to dispense the contents, scissor grabs, base gripping units and waist grippers, the whole range can also be fitted to pedestrian stackers. Bespoke units can be manufactured to suit customer specification.
Reliably monitoring low concentrations of these substances can often be a highly demanding task. The new innovative Dräger X-act® 7000 analysis device is designed to solve this problem.
Consisting of Dräger MicroTubes and opto-electronic sensor technology, the device lets you precisely measure gases in the low ppb range. It gives you reliable results right on site with the potential to replace slow, expensive lab analysis. It's also extremely easy to use: insert the Dräger MicroTubes, start measuring, then read out the test result.
The sensitive measurement system is based on colorimetric chemical sensor technology. In combination with the multiple layers of the MicroTubes, this also provides high selectivity, significantly reducing false-positive measurement results and false alarms.
Dräger MicroTubes are already available for substances including benzene, ethylene oxide, 1.3-butadiene, formaldehyde and mercury with many more due to launch in the coming months.
Abingdon-based Crowcon Detection Instruments Ltd. has launched a long-life oxygen sensor in its Gasman portable gas detector.
However, this is no standard upgrade – not only does the new sensor have an extended lifespan, which will reduce total cost of ownership and is backed with an industry-leading 5-year warranty, it is also completely free of lead, helping firms to comply with imminent changes to restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) regulations, and reducing harm to the environment.
Gas detection instruments are critical to protecting the life, health and safety of workers in many industries.
Preventing dangerous exposure levels and monitoring over time is key, and using the very best instrumentation available is essential for keeping people safe and healthy, now and in the future. The sensor technology within these instruments is vital, and often the most important aspect to get right for enhanced protection.
ION Science, as a leading global gas detection OEM for over 30 years, were chosen by Blackline Safety for their superior range of gas sensors when developing their comprehensive product range.
Recent discussions within gas detection sectors have revealed a growing number of customers who are looking for solutions that are reliable, long lasting and offer high levels of personal protection.
ION Science’s latest development, the Cub 11.7 eV personal solution, provides superior protection against harmful VOCs while delivering on key areas such as lifespan, reliability and compliance.
The conversation around health versus safety is continuing, specifically looking at where gas detection and compliance sits within this huge and vital area and what role it can play. Developing instruments that can protect individuals and ensure effective protection against VOC (volatile organic compounds) exposure is of vital importance, particularly in the 11.7 range.
