This extensive range covers requirements and applications for levelling feet for all machines and equipment used in many industries. This includes packaging, food (milk, meat, fish, dairy, tanks, industrial kitchens) chemical, brewing, conveyors, material handling, electrical cabinets, injection moulding, CNC, lathe, mills, white industry, marine, green energy, scaffold and fitness equipment. The Martin accessory range of clean stainless steel hardware including hinges, handles, knobs, locks and closing systems combine well with clean stainless feet as required for the food, dairy, meat applications. The latest addition to the range is hygienic locking nuts, manufactured in 304 stainless steel and offering 3-A sanitary standard protection. The quality stainless steel and silicone provide a tight seal preventing contamination. The locking nuts are available in M3-M24 sizes. Hi-Q has available now from stock, a wide range of Martin Levelling feet for itsNZ customers to choose from. This includes levelling feet for lightweight and heavy-duty applications with feet diameters 40mm - 124mm with threads M8 - M20. www.engineeringnews.co.nz 45 SPX Flow has unveiled what it believes is the future of refrigerated compressed air dyers by introducing the new Flex Series energy saving refrigerated air dryer by Hankison. The Flex Series refrigerated air dryer utilises the latest advancements in heat transfer technology, and offers an innovative approach to efficiently remove liquid from compressed air. The unit operates via phase change material (PCM) is a material that harnesses latent heat produced as it converts from solid to liquid or liquid to solid. While latent heat is being absorbed or released, the process is isothermal (no temperature change) and the energy from the heat is used to change the form of the material. The PCM has high latent heat properties, meaning it absorbs a lot of heat at constant temperature as it melts or freezes and stays colder for longer periods of time. While the PCM absorbs heat from warm, moisture laden compressed air there is no significant rise in temperature. Designed with a 3-in-1 heat exchanger, the PCM encapsulates the refrigeration and compressed air circuits. This allows the phase change material to stay colder for longer periods of time, cycling the refrigerant compressor less often than conventional energy saving designs. As the Flex Series dryer automatically matches the compressed air load at any point in time, it can be sized to the maximum plant compressed air load without a material energy consumption penalty. www.spxflow.com Dimac Tooling, an Australia and New Zealand supplier of accessories and workholding solutions for CNC milling and CNC turning machine tools, is the sole distributor of the innovative Hydrafeed Barfeeder. Hydrafeed Barfeeders increase the productivity of any CNC turning centre and can be retrofitted to any entry level CNC machine as well as multi-tasking turning centres and is a full servo-driven Barfeed eliminating the need for compressed air. Another key feature is that once you’ve set a bar size and saved the setup, you never have to open the cover again. Simply call up the program from the touch screen and the Hydrafeed will set itself on centreline automatically thanks to the servo drive bar lifter mechanism. Other standard features include complete servo control on all axes plus a fully automated set-up through a user friendly HMI screen. The Hydrafeed also has the versatility to accommodate different bar diameters and lengths including random bar lengths. Suitable for both bar or shaft feed it also has a programmable work stop controlled by your existing foot switch. A wide variety of models are available to suit any application. HYDRAFEED RAISES THE BAR The product is CE certified and comes with a comprehensive 12 month warranty. www.dimac.com.au AIR DRYER FLOW S T O C K TA K E
