NOV Mono solves sludge transer problem for wastewater plant
NOV Mono has helped solve an ongoing maintenance problem for a major German wastewater treatment plant with the installation of an EZstrip TR Muncher. The Mono Muncher has reduced the number of pipeline blockages occurring at the Käranlage Jagersfreude plant – the largest facility of its kind in the Saarbrücken area - and so helped minimise both downtime and maintenance costs.

Compact connector for all-weather advertising signs
External display advertising is an effective means of communicating a message to a wide and diverse audience. Positioned by bus stops, elevators and even national monuments, it is common to see an advert for the nearest fast food outlet or the latest cinema release illuminated by an advertising light box in every town of the UK. Due to the heavy footfall in some areas these advertising boards can command a high premium in terms of rates, but that’s dependant on their reliability. Hylec-APL supplies a range of compact waterproof connectors which keep the boards shining in any weather.

Precision ring track simplifies new turret mechanism
For the label converting and finishing machinery manufacturer, A B Graphic International, the availability of an off-the-shelf ring track system allowed its designers to create a far more cost-efficient mechanism for its new turret rewinder module. In place of a complex centre shaft arrangement to carry the turret disc, a HepcoMotion PRT2 precision ring track system was specified instead. And not only did it simplify the mechanism, it also introduced other design advantages

Total metalworking fluid package reduces cost of manufacturing
Improving production efficiency is not just about investing in the latest machining technology. Important cost savings can be found by making relatively minor changes such as adopting a more cost-effective coolant regime. A British manufacturer of aircraft parts is a good case in point. A price increase imposed by incumbent fluid suppliers prompted the company to explore the market. This move resulted in the adoption of Master Chemical Europe fluids, a move that has streamlined methods with the added bonus of a longer sump life.
