EARTHQUAKE PRE-WARNING AND PROTECTION SHUTDOWN SYSTEM QUALITY ALTERNATIVE FOR YOUR SPRAY DRYING NOZZLES STRUGGLING TO GET A BRUSH OFF THE GRINDER? www.engineeringnews.co.nz 47 It can be a hard work removing a wire brush from the angle grinder. You can also end up with an injured hand. The engineers at Talus Industries NZ Limited, the makers of Dixbro® wire brushes, understand this well. Therefore they have come up with a simple solution - the special AFTTM insert fitted to the brush. It acts as a flexible barrier between the brush and the grinder spindle absorbing the excess energy. As a result even after heavy use the brush removal is easy, fast and safe. Simply use a glove to dismount the brush. No tool required. Furthermore the AFT insert absorbs some of the shock from the brush ‘biting’ into the edges of the workpiece. The patent pending AFT insert is now a standard feature on all Dixbro cup and bevel brushes with M14 thread. www.dixbro.co.nz If you are a manufacturer with spray drying as part of your process, you’ll appreciate the substantial, on-going costs of replacement Spray Drying Nozzles. Until recently, the only source of replacements was the original equipment supplier. But now there is an alternative that provides high quality Spray Drying Atomiser Nozzles at a lower price. Tecpro Australia was recently appointed the Australian and New Zealand distributor by RACA International BV, a Dutch manufacturer of high quality, competitively priced Spray Drying Atomising Nozzles. The Atomising Nozzle’s orifice, whirl chamber and top plate are available in tungsten carbide to avoid rapid wear and performance degradation. The body of the Nozzles are made from Aisi 316 stainless steel. These generic Spray Drying Atomiser Nozzles are designed for atomising high viscosity liquids with values up to several thousand centipoises. They are suitable for use in counter-current spray dryers and in systems where multiple nozzle lances are used. The Nozzles are available in 4 different thread sizes using female British Standard Parallel Pipe (BSPP) threads. The QMI Maestro system is the most advanced, patented, earthquake, water leak, gas leak detection, and automatic shutoff system in the market today. An essential safety net for workshops, factories, museums, hotels, fire-stations, hospitals, any industrial situation and the home user, the Maestro comes with the peace of mind that water and gas services will be shut down in the case of a sensor detecting an emergency. Made in Canada, this network-enabled system features state of the art technology developed that will automatically shut down the appropriate valve and report in the event of an earthquake or whenever a sensor detects a gas or water leak. The wireless valves are battery operated, stainless-steel valves. The valves are in constant communication with the controller. The water valve will immediately shut whenever a water sensor detects water, the gas valve will immediately shut whenever a gas sensor detects gas, and both valves will shut when the earthquake sensor detects an earthquake. When the battery voltage gets low in value, it will transmit a low-battery warning, and send an email notification. This state of the art system proves highly valuable in the protection of assets from the terrible damage potentially caused by water or gas leaks in either the aftermath of an earthquake or any other event causing a water or gas leak. Developers have also manufactured a home version with alarm capabilities. Contact: P: 03 5481665 | M: 027 2323701 | E: admin@earthquakesafety.co.nz | W: earthquakesafety.co.nz
