EASYSTEEL ‘STEEL PROMISE’ THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
ULTRA-FLAT HIGH
TONNAGE CYLINDERS
FROM ENERPAC; LOW HEIGHT AND SAFETY
There's no doubt steel is strong
and durable, just like Easysteel's
new service promise – ‘The Steel
Promise’ – launched recently along
with a new look Easysteel website.
From Invercargill to Whangarei,
the new ‘Steel Promise’ is the first
service promise of any steel distribution
surface treatment for harsh conditions, such as
those encountered on applications such as construction
and civil engineering, infrastructure, mining
and energy, oil and gas, road and rail, tunnelling
and safe lifting of heavy plant in electrical, manufacturing,
maritime, water and waste water and
fabrication projects.
“One of the big advantages of high-tonnage
ultra-flat cylinders is that operators can stably and
progressively lift the load from beneath, keeping it
precisely balanced. Cylinders such as these also
provide a lifting solution where access for overhead
lifting is restricted or non-existent,” says Enerpac
national sales manager, Darryl Lange.
Another major advantage is that the cylinders
feature the ultra-flat cylinder design proven for
harsh conditions in Australia, New Zealand and
Papua New Guinea in the complementary series

Ultra-flat high tonnage lifting cylinders with
stop rings for reliability and safety are being
introduced by Enerpac to bring the power
and precision of high-pressure hydraulics to applications
The compact and robust CULP Series 700 bar lift
ring cylinders – in capacities from 10-100 tons, with
6mm stroke – are designed for applications where
high lifting forces and extremely low starting heights
are required in confined spaces, starting at 2.8mm.
Weighing from 1-11.5kg for easy placement and
operator convenience, the robust cylinders offer
up to 4% side load at maximum capacity, as well
as incorporating stop ring protection for maximum
stroke limitation to avoid damage and downtime.

involving limited space and often harsh
operating conditions.
The new cylinders also feature nitrocarburised
of CUSP cylinders, in capacities from 1-1000 tons
and with lifting strokes of 7-17mm (or 6-10mm with
tilted stroke).
The new cylinders’ nitrocarburised protection is also
shared with CUSP cylinders, providing sideload
resistance and corrosion protection for safe use
in the harshest conditions. The protection is also
shared by Enerpac’s new RLT low-height telescopic
cylinders, which provide longer cylinder strokes of
17-40mm in confined spaces.
“The new cylinders are complemented by Enerpac
pumping solutions in more than 1000 configurations,
proven throughout Australasia for applications
prioritising speed, control, intermittent or heavy
duty."

WASTE WATER: CLEAN GREEN
TECHNOLOGIES MEAN COST-EFFICIENT OPTIONS
Anaerobic digestion plants are one option for
larger operations. These consume organic waste
in water 28 and produce biogas from it to replace
fossil fuels in primary processing plants involving
both livestock and crops.

business in New Zealand and
is set to be central to Easysteel's
business operations going forward,
giving the company a clear point of
differentiation over its competitors.
"The Steel Promise gives Easysteel
a clear point of differentiation in a
crowded market," says Fletcher
Steel head of marketing, Neil
Watson. "This is an exciting
development for the business and
one we will work hard to promote to
the industry and is a great tool for
the sales teams to talk to potential
customers about why they should
be buying from Easysteel."
The sales and marketing team has
developed the ‘Steel Promise’ at
Easysteel in consultation with a
large number of people across the
business including the operations,
logistics and procurement teams.
"The project to develop the Steel
Promise involved a full cross-section
of the Easysteel business.
The debates on exact words were
extensive and insightful. Everyone
involved has a deeper understanding
SPECIAL FEATURE: MATERIALS
of our customers’ needs and their
businesses now," says Neil.
Not satisfied with just a page on
the current Easysteel website
saying what the promises were,
the BU wanted the promise to
be the backbone of its website.
So, Easysteel has embarked on a
new look and feel website, which
launched the same day as the
promise.
“The new Easysteel website shows
a maturing of the business in the
digital space – our developers have
worked hard to understand the
needs of our customers and their
motivation for visiting the website,"
says Fletcher Steel digital channel
manager, Brenda van Niekerk.
“The team has worked hard to be
able to launch The Steel Promise,"
says Fletcher Steel general manager
Hamish, McBeath.
"The business knew it needed to
have this offer in the market as soon
as possible, but realistically had to
make some changes to the systems
to be able to deliver against the
promises consistently and reliably.
Great work from Adrian Blake
(national sales manager) and his
team to get to this point.”

A leading anerobic technology available in
Australasia is GWE’s ‘Raptor’ process, which is
a robust liquid state anaerobic digestion process
that converts almost any organic residue (waste)
or energy crop (substrate) into biogas, “green”
electricity, renewable natural gas (RNG), or heat.
And another new cost-efficient technology involves
the use of the Japanese engineered KDS multidisc
separator, which is suitable for small-to-medium
livestock operations as well as large-scale food
and beverage kitchens and catering facilities. Both
businesses face the challenge not only of handling
heavy, sticky wet waste, but also the cost and
OH&S hazards of transporting large volumes of
unhygienic material to disposal facilities.

EQM is introducing stainless steel
and aluminium gearboxes and
motors that are cleaning up.
The Clean-Geartech geardrive
is already being used in food
processing facilities throughout New
Zealand. Now with helical bevel
gearboxes in stainless steel to match
the IP69k motors, as well as an
aluminium motor and worm gearbox
of the same design.
The aluminium geardrives feature
the latest in surface treatment
technology – called NTT, perfect
for damp environments that do not
demand the high standard of its
stainless steel cousin.
“They’re perfect for meat, dairy,
poultry, seafood, salads, confectionary
and ready-to-eat products. Being
food safe brings peace of mind,”
says the company.
Offering waterproof protection
(IP69K), high efficiency (IE3.) and
316SS output shafts are just some
of the features of Clean-Geartech.
EQM also successfully installed a
two-tier packing conveyor system to
optimise production, decrease the
packing area footprint and become
a mobile unit for a large blueberry
producer.
The new system has improved the
packing process, enabled greater
flexibility of labour and can be
operated by one person, or up
to six when using variable speed
controllers.
