HPC KAESER: Efficiency delivers significant savings

HPC KAESER’s efficient compressed air technologies enables customers to significantly reduce their energy requirements more than most.

How? Our compressors are designed to ensure they have the best ‘Specific Power’: the ratio of total energy used by the compressor and its compressed air output (at a stated pressure).

The lower the Specific Power of your compressor, the greater the efficiency, and the greater the savings.

Equivalent non-HPC compressors are typically less energy efficient with a higher Specific Power. So, investing with HPC saves you costs in the long-term.

In fact, we save our customers up to £25k a year – and in some cases, much more than that.

Our compressed air systems are not only designed to be exceptionally energy efficient, but energy consumption is also minimised as much as possible during their production.

So, not only are your energy costs reduced, but natural resources are increasingly protected, too.

And, until March 31st, we are offering Sustainability Discounts across our range of energy efficient belt-driven rotary screw compressors.

So, for the duration of this campaign, you can save TWICE with us. Save on energy costs – and save with discounts, too.

Warehouse & Logistics Update

Union Industries completes warehouse upgrade for Deep Sea Electronics

Union Industries, the UK’s leading manufacturer of bespoke industrial doors, has assisted Deep Sea Electronics with improving access and traffic flow through the installation of its high-speed Matadoor.

The robust high-speed door has been installed in-between the company’s warehouse and production area in Hunmanby, North Yorkshire, and completes a significant on-site investment programme. The Matadoor replaces an existing sectional door, which slowed access between the warehouse & production areas due to the amount of time it took to open and close. Additionally, the Union Industries Matadoor helps to complete the smart new finish of the warehouse refurbishment.

Deep Sea Electronics is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of generator controllers, auto transfer switch controllers, battery chargers and vehicle and off-highway controllers. It employs more than 150 people across four continents and sells products to 150 countries, direct from its UK head office and through its comprehensive distributor network.

The Matadoor, which can be used via remote control or swipe-card, joins two Bulldoors already installed by

Union Industries almost eight years ago.

It is engineered from heavy duty materials and components, hence why it is generally used for high use internal doorways, and where extreme reliability is required.

Matadoor, introduced to the UK by Union Industries in 1992, was the first ever high-speed door on the market with a ‘Crash-Out & Auto-Reset’ feature, which not only allows the bottom beam to swing out of the way if hit by a speeding forklift truck, but automatically resets itself back into the side guides so the door can continue to operate even if damaged.

Adam Sheader, Industrial Engineer at Deep Sea Electronics, said, “We approached Union Industries having experienced the reliability and robustness of its two high-speed Bulldoors in 2016, which are supported by excellent customer service.

“We were seeking a solution to operational challenges of an older, sectional door which was left over following a refurbishment and was proving problematic due to the length of time it took to operate.

“We are not only pleased to have found a solution in

Union Industries’ Matadoor, but also thrilled to support British manufacturing.”

Steve Moultrie, Technical Sales Engineer at Union Industries, said, “Once again, Union Industries is the go-to for reliable and efficient high-speed doors, which are known for their longevity.

“Deep Sea Electronics recognised that they needed a much faster solution and came back to us having experienced the quality and robustness of our doors.

“We were also able to link into the customer’s existing fob access system to maintain controlled access for this opening, which meant minimal disruption during installation.”

Union Industries helps Crown Lift Trucks overcome operational challenges with installation of highspeed Ramdoor

Union Industries, the UK’s leading manufacturer of bespoke industrial doors, has assisted Crown Lift Trucks in addressing multiple operational challenges with the installation of its cutting-edge high-speed Ramdoor.

Crown Lift Trucks, based in Warrington, faced several issues at its facility, including the need to segregate two adjoining units with different temperature requirements while allowing the movement of high-mast forklift trucks through a large opening.

To tackle these challenges, Union Industries produced a bespoke solution to accommodate the building configuration, ensuring the required opening height could be achieved without compromising functionality. Additionally, the limited space at high-level, between structural steel frames, posed a significant obstacle.

Since launching their UK operations in 1960, Crown Lift Trucks have become one of the world's leading manufacturers of forklift and material handling equipment. Designing and manufacturing up to 85% of its forklift components, Crown provide their wide customer base with forklift rentals, servicing and maintenance, used equipment and a variety of support services.

The installation of the Ramdoor not only addressed the temperature control and safety concerns but also enhanced operational efficiency. Union Industries designed the door to accommodate Crown Lift Trucks’ requirements while incorporating a pedestrian access door to segregate

traffic flow, ensuring a safer working environment.

The Ramdoor features a dual height opening facility, allowing for optimal heat retention while accommodating different forklift sizes. Furthermore, the engineered seals and infills achieve a seamless finish, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.

It has also been designed to achieve a Class 5 wind resistance rating, making it able to withstand strong winds and to remain operational even during severe weather conditions.

Achieving this rating is supported by a number of the Ramdoor’s features, including its thick Ramhide door curtain material, which is high frequency welded to give the strongest fabric joins available.

In addition, it features heavy-duty wind-brace and wind-bar systems for added strength, plus extra-deep side-guides, which all contribute to the Ramdoor’s ability to cope with high wind loads and pressures. Like other doors in the Union range, it also benefits from a ‘Crash Out’ facility, in case of vehicle or personnel impact to the bottom beam, thus ensuring minimal downtime and repair costs.

Alan Hirst, Sales Director at Union Industries, said, “We are delighted to have assisted Crown Lift Trucks in overcoming their operational challenges with our high-speed Ramdoor. This project highlights our ability to provide innovative solutions tailored to our customers’ specific needs.”

Mark Eccleston, Branch Manager, at Crown Lift Trucks, said, “Union Industries’ Ramdoor has revolutionised our operational efficiency and safety standards. Their dedication to understanding our unique requirements and delivering a bespoke solution underscores their commitment to customer satisfaction. The Ramdoor not only enhances temperature control and traffic segregation but also contributes to our sustainability goals. We are grateful for their expertise and partnership in achieving our objectives.”

How are YOU prioritising the safety of your commercial fleet?

Let’s face it – how confident are you that your commercial drivers are truly prioritising safety on the roads? Can you be certain that daily walk-around checks are performed accurately? How do you know your drivers are actually getting out of their cabs to inspect their windscreens and tyres before ticking every box and going on their way? For many commercial fleets, the truth is that you don’t.

It is well-documented that driving for work is one of the most dangerous things you can ask your employees to do. A staggering 33% of road deaths and 20% of serious injuries involve someone driving for work. So what are you doing about it?

The reality of road safety in commercial fleets Managing a fleet of commercial vehicles is no easy task. The logistical challenges are immense, and ensuring the safety of each driver is paramount. However, safety protocols can often become mere checkboxes in a long list of daily duties. When the pressure is on to meet delivery schedules and performance targets, it’s easy for thorough inspections to fall by the wayside.

But this isn’t just about meeting regulatory requirements or avoiding fines. The human cost is significant. When a driver skips a safety check, it could lead to severe consequences – an accident that could have been prevented, injuries, or even fatalities. These incidents not only affect the driver and their family but can also have a profound impact on your business, from increased insurance premiums to the potential loss of contracts.

The importance of thorough walk-around checks

Daily walk-around checks are a crucial part of ensuring vehicle safety. These inspections are designed to catch potential issues before they become serious problems. A cracked windscreen might seem like a minor issue, but it can obstruct the driver’s view and become a major hazard. Worn tyres can lead to blowouts, especially at high speeds, putting the driver and others on the road at risk.

accurately and efficiently. With our system, you can digitise your inspection processes, making it easier for drivers to complete checks and for you to monitor compliance.

Ensuring that these checks are carried out properly is vital. This means making sure that your drivers are not just ticking boxes but are actually getting out of their cabs and performing the inspections thoroughly. However, manual checks can be inconsistent. Fatigue, complacency, or simple oversight can lead to missed steps, and without a robust system in place, these errors can go unnoticed until it’s too late.

Choosing CheckedSafe for safer roads

This is where CheckedSafe comes in. CheckedSafe is a comprehensive SaaS solution designed to ensure that your fleet’s safety checks are carried out

We provide a userfriendly app that guides drivers through each step of the inspection process, making sure that no item is overlooked. We do this by dating, timestamping and geolocating every time they press a button, so you can see if they have raced through the checks in two minutes or carried it out properly. The software also uses an accelerometer to make sure they’re walking around the vehicle to do the checks, not just sitting in their cab.

Meanwhile, from your offices, you’ll be able to monitor user activity, view comprehensive maintenance reports in real-time, identify outstanding tasks and vehicle defects, and schedule services with our intuitive system. We also offer secure data storage and a clear end-to-end audit trail, so that you can protect your business in the event of investigations.

Don’t just tick boxes, commit to comprehensive safety

Don’t wait for a serious incident to highlight the gaps in your safety protocols. Act proactively to mitigate risks and ensure that every journey your drivers make is a safe one. With CheckedSafe, you gain peace of mind knowing that your fleet is compliant, your drivers are protected, and your business is safeguarded against avoidable accidents and their associated costs. Prioritise safety, protect your drivers, and ensure the longevity of your business with CheckedSafe.

Pumps & Valves Update

High-tech containment shroud for mag-drive pumps

One of the technical highlights at ACHEMA 2024 was KSB Group’s new 3D-printed containment shroud for mag-drive pumps of the Magnochem type series. Named MagnoProtect, the component offers the same safety as a doublewalled containment shroud – without the latter’s disadvantages of heating up strongly and having high eddy current losses.

Oliver Valvetek advances CCUS innovation

AtWhile providing comparable safety, the overall efficiencies of the new mag-drive designs clearly exceed those of canned motor pumps. Designed with a structure of channels, the new containment shroud offers a second, redundant, static safety barrier preventing leakage of the fluid handled.

A pressure transmitter monitors the vacuum generated, which is present during normal operation in the channels of the containment shroud. If the monitored pressure rises to atmospheric pressure, the outer containment shell is leaking. If the pressure rises above the ambient pressure, the

inner containment shell is damaged. The containment shroud design is characterised by high mechanical strength and good wear properties. It has been optimised to minimise heat losses and eddy currents.

Converting a standardised chemical pump with mechanical seal to a magnetic drive is easier and more cost-efficient than retrofitting it with a canned motor. The geometry and dimensions of the new containment shroud are integrated in the modular system of Magnochem, allowing metallic or ceramic containment shrouds to be replaced easily. This enables operators to upgrade older pump sets that are still in service without difficulty.

Manufacturing & Machinery Update

New UNISIG operating system streamlines the human-robot interface

Representing a leap forward in programming, UNISIG’s nextgeneration operating system further improves the human-robot interface and slashes programming times.

The new operating system, featured on UNISIG’s UNE6-2i-750-CR small-diameter gundrilling machine, streamlines the setup of dozens of different part handling combinations to reduce new part setup times by 80% or more. The system significantly improves the communication between the machine’s human machine interface (HMI) and the robotic controller. This enables centralised data storage or a single source of truth – the coding and data for the gundrilling operation and the program for the part handling are stored together for ease of recall.

Because it works within a parametric programming environment, the new operating system automatically adjusts its parameters to any dimensional part changes, without the need to manually calculate and enter in new parameters. Such intelligence eliminates the need to start over and create entirely new and independent programs, while greatly simplifying and shortening programming times for part families.

The UNE6-2i-750-CR gundrilling machine with integrated robot ships with a handheld programming console/teach pendant connected to the machine. Prior to the use of parametric programming, all part handling operations were pre-programmed using the pendant. Users can now enter and store all machine and robotic parameters in the machine HMI. This allows for a more centralised user experience and greatly reduces the depth of robotic experience required.

The machine HMI has built-in parametric selection

Explosion-proof compressor motor for oil refinery

Producing a customised explosionproof high-voltage motor within just 12 calendar days, Menzel Elektromotoren saved an oil refinery a considerable amount of money. The failure of the previously installed compressor motor was causing enormous financial damage.

The team of the German family business Menzel worked on this project with considerable commitment, including weekend shifts, and thus completed all necessary works in record time.

An in-stock MEBKSW-type threephase squirrel-cage induction motor

in size 710 was enabled for ignition protection type Ex ec, increased safety, with purging.

Menzel’s certified explosion protection experts gave it the ATEX marking II 3G Ex ec IIA T3 Gc and prepared the extensive documentation required by the customer within the tight time frame. The motor generates an output of 10MW and 64,132Nm rated torque at 6,600V rated voltage. It features IP55 protection and IC 81W cooling (air-to-water heat exchanger) and is suitable for outdoor installation and the increased ambient temperature range of -20°C-48°C.

To ensure a smooth installation in the existing plant environment, Menzel made various mechanical adaptations such as machining the motor shaft, manufacturing a new base frame and providing flanges for the purging system.

guides, allowing users to toggle between data entry and the programming guides. Each data value, and its function, are graphically displayed in the on-screen programming guide. This prevents the guide from being misplaced and makes it available at all times, which is especially advantageous when periodically adding new parts involving large time gaps between them.

The UNE6-2i-750-CR with integrated robotic automation also features interchangeable part trays.

Minimum effort, maximum safety

Wieland Electric presents the latest generation of highly efficient safety light grids and safety light curtains.

The importance of occupational safety grows in modern industrial and logistical environments as machines and systems become more complicated. Against this backdrop, Wieland Electric introduces its next generation of safety light curtains and safety light grids, which complement the existing array of optoelectronic protection devices and are distinguished by a high level of safety, flexibility, and use.

The new SLG4 series safety light grids were designed for applications requiring dependable access protection over wide areas on machines or in production sites. While withstanding temperatures as high as 70°C, the light grids may be put into action swiftly thanks to their simple software configuration and plug-and-play installation. Clearly visible LEDs also enable immediate on-site diagnostics, reducing downtimes.

Furthermore, the durable aluminium housing and protection rating IP65/67 in accordance with EN 60529 ensure that the optoelectronic protective devices perform reliably even in adverse environmental situations.

The SLC4 series safety light curtains are perfect for protecting fingers and hands in the machine's danger zone. When the machine is used frequently, they cut access times compared to physical guards, increasing production. Advanced functionalities like muting ensure safe material flow and contribute to cost-effective material supply and removal.

Cascading two devices enables vertical access and horizontal presence monitoring in a single system.

The SLC4 safety light curtains, like the SLG4 safety light grids, have a simple software-free configuration and the ability to do quick on-site diagnostics. This improves productivity and safety in industrial applications.
