CAN BEND, SHEAR, PUNCH AND CROP Geka, described by distributor PPT as the recognised industry leading manufacturer of ironworkers, has introduced the innovative and powerful Bendicrop. BLASTERS GO HYDRAULIC Australian Pump Industries’ range of heavy duty hydraulic drive high pressure cleaners with pressures up to 500 BAR (7,300 psi), have played a vital role in the drilling industry. Industry leaders have been asking for a portable pressure cleaner that is safer and can handle to the most strenuous mobile plant cleaning applications. The range, in Aussie Pump’s new Blaster Blitz catalogue, includes machines from 3,000psi all the way through to 7,300psi. With flows of up to 120 litres per minute, hydraulic drive blasters have all the features and benefits of a conventional pressure cleaner but come with a series of significant advantages over petrol or diesel drive machines. All machines come with the Aussie ASP (safety protection) kit that includes an unloader, thermal BY THE NARROWEST OF MARGINS 78 May 2017 dump and safety valve. The safety valve protects the operator and machine against excessive pressure spikes whilst the thermal dump protects against failure from excessive bypass running. Stainless steel valves, designed specifically for each series, offer superior performance characteristics to conventional pumps. Pumps up to 350 bar feature forged brass pump heads whilst 500 bar pumps all come with 316 stainless steel pump heads as standard equipment. www.aussiepumps.com.au COMPRESSING THE AIR TO FIND SOLUTIONS Taking Industry 4.0 to the next level – compressed air specialist Kaeser Compressors has the unit for the job no matter the scale of operation or industry. Kaeser offers both single units as well as complete system solutions to cover the entire life-cycle of compressed air systems and has an extensive product portfolio ranges from highly efficient rotary screw compressors for compressed air production, together with compatible treatment options, intelligent controllers and management systems, to innovative and individually tailored service solutions, including predictive maintenance. An efficient compressed air supply begins with efficient components, which is why Kaeser now equips all of its rotary screw compressors from 30kW and up with super premium efficiency IE4 motors as standard. With the best efficiency values currently available, they serve to further cut compressor power consumption. Moreover, further refinement and optimisation of Kaeser’s renowned Kaeser sigma profile screw compressor blocks – the key components actually responsible for producing the compressed air – has helped boost specific power in rotary screw compressors from 75kW and up, for example, by as much as 12%. The new DSD and FSD series rotary screw compressors therefore offer significantly enhanced efficiency and higher flow rates which translate into tangible energy cost savings. www.kaeser.co.nz Leading global electrical engineering manufacturer and innovator, Phoenix Contact, has released the new, Valvetrabsafe energy control (SEC) Type 2 surge protection device – one of the world’s narrowest, high-performing arresters. From just 12mm wide per module, the new Valvetrab SEC Type 2 surge protective device is highly compact and reduces the need for installation space to a minimum. It can be housed in any miniature distribution system without fuss. The high performance, SEC Type 2 device protects against lightning strikes and surges to deliver maximum reliability for installations in need of continuous power. It features SEC technology and the high discharge capacity and small width of the device ensure protection is available in the most compact of space. The pluggable nature of the SEC type 2 arrester allows for quick installation and maintenance. What’s more, the base element and plug can be rotated by 180º for easy alignment. This also enables a connection with shorter cable lengths with markings facing upright that are clearly legible. Built using only quality components, the SEC type 2 is both vibration and shock proof. It is monitored by an easy-to-read status indicator and a remote signalling contact. Plus, the device has been independently tested to the latest IEC 61643-11:standards and has GL shipping approval. www.phoenixcontact.com.au S T O C K TA K E
