ASAP UK, a subsidiary of ASAP Innovations – one of the world’s largest manufacturers of PPE - has today announced the availability in the UK of a range of cleanroom products designed for the most demanding environments 

ASAP UK, part of ASAP Innovations, has announced the availability of its global bestselling range of cleanroom gloves, designed for optimum protection and comfort in environments from semiconductor manufacture to pharmaceuticals, and from aerospace to food production and handling.

Enerpac introduces the next evolution of the legendary Enerpac RC-Series hydraulic cylinders. The new RC-Trio is as versatile as ever. It features a new Trio bearing system for enhanced durability and a hybrid spring-return system for faster retraction and even greater productivity. 

Enerpac announces a new 100-ton capacity hydraulic Sync Grip Puller for the safe and controlled removal of bearings, bushing, gears and pins from shafts during vehicle and machinery maintenance. 

As with all pullers in the Sync Grip line, the new 100-Ton SGH100 model features simple, synchronous movement. The sync grip mechanism synchronises movement of all jaws for simultaneous engagement, enhancing the operator’s control over the tool and simplifying set-up. Hydraulic puller jaws fit around the part to be removed, while the spindle applies up to 100 tons of force to remove it. Hydraulically applied pulling force increases pulling capacity and reduces operator fatigue, enabling quicker and easier operation.

Providing information and communicating with staff and colleagues in the workplace is essential, particularly when hazards, incidents or near-misses occur which may impact on others. An effective, low-cost solution to ‘getting the message across’ is the Near Miss / Incident Reporting System available from T Cards Direct which is an easy way to manage and document health and safety issues. 

Compliance and accountability is essential in the work place and a simple T Board can provide a record and history with traceability from the time the incident occurred to the issue being signed off. All through the process the status is shown providing transparency which in turn encourages staff engagement.

The new enclosures of the EJBC series are characterized by a multi-step joint that allows the installation in areas with danger of explosion and/or fire due to the presence of all the Gases of Group IIA - IIB - IIC classified as Zone 1, 2, 21, 22. 

This is the element that distinguishes the new EJBC series enclosures from the historic EJB series enclosures characterized instead by a flat flanged joint and suitable for the IIB + H2 gas group.

The handling of bulk solids poses many challenges. One of these challenges is the enormous amount of dust that is created by conveying and processing the different products. In order not to unnecessarily strain the process and employees on site and to expose them to risks, these enormous amounts of dust get extracted.

This is the first step in the direction of fire and explosion protection, because dust clouds of flammable powders in the right mixture ratio to oxygen always represent a great danger.

As part of a digitization offensive, a petrochemical company in East Asia searched for the perfect mobile device for its access management. Ease of use, efficiency and security – the Tab-Ex® tablet series for hazardous areas from ECOM Instruments scores well on all of these criteria and helped to significantly speed up the processes.

South Korea's industry is going digital – one reason for this change are definitely the incentives provided by the South Korean government. For companies in the oil and gas industry as well as in the petrochemical industry, the challenge is to adapt the technologies required for the digitization of processes to their special requirements especially in terms of safety. The devices have to be certified for DZ1 and DZ2, to name just one challenge.

Medical environments, whether that’s the development, manufacture or packing of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, must be monitored to the highest levels to ensure complete compliance and safety for staff and end-users. ION Science’s range of fixed PID sensors can measure VOC outputs on multiple large sites or single key areas, using world-leading gas detection technology.
