MYCON supplies new snow blasting equipment to WAFA

Anew order from WAFA for MYCON comprised equipment for the pre-treatment of plastic parts before painting. WAFA decided in favour of an automated IceMaster snow blasting equipment from MYCON, which has been built into the existing production line as a flow-through system. During the implementation of this order MYCON was responsible for planning, construction, production and commissioning of the equipment. In particular, the sound insulation guidelines had to be taken into account as they had to be complied with despite the limited available space.

Alexander Zeiger, head of WAFA’s part production department, said: “The cooperation with MYCON has absolutely not caused any problems to us. Consulting, planning, execution and commissioning of the plant were carried out exactly according to schedule and within the agreed budget. The equipment meets all our commitments and fulfils all expectations regarding the operating procedure and the cleaning results.”

The IceMaster equipment is efficient, costeffective and entirely automated, with operating costs of less than five euros per operating hour including compressed air consumption based on adequate CO2 quantities. Furthermore, the equipment needs no maintenance. Visit: www.mycon.info

Concentric AB awarded hydraulic systems business

Aleading global manufacturer of heavy trucks has recently nominated Concentric AB to manufacture motor pump units for the steering system on their next generation commercial vehicles. Production commenced during the second quarter of 2017 and is expected to reach mature volumes in 2018, generating annual revenues of approximately SEK 13 million across Europe.

Concentric’s motor pump units have been introduced on the emergency steering circuit of all of this OEM’s heavy trucks with twin front axle steering. The product has been specifically developed to protect the units against both dust and high-pressure water ingression, which allows them to be mounted on the under carriage of the vehicle without the need for a separate water tight enclosure. The unit can be coupled with a variety of Concentric gear pump types, including the CALMA series pumps with low noise characteristics.

“Concentric has continued to deepen relationships with key strategic customers in this end-market sector and we anticipate these relationships to develop further on the next generation of commercial vehicle platforms,” said Oliver Percival, vice-president of Sales. Visit: www.concentricab.com

thyssenkrupp receives China’s largest TWIN order

thyssenkrupp has secured a contract for 41 transportation units, including 8 TWIN elevators, for the Sunshine Insurance Group’s new headquarters in Beijing, China. This is the largest TWIN order the company has received in China. As China’s leading insurance company, Sunshine Insurance is building its 243-metre-high headquarters in Beijing. Space efficiency was the client’s key concern, and thyssenkrupp’s innovative TWIN solution, capable of space savings up to 30%, offered the required space efficiency along with the benefit of separate elevator cars.

The TWIN elevator system enables one cab to be parked while the other stays in operation. When passenger volumes are low, no energy is consumed by empty moving cars. Thus, TWIN helps save energy and with two cars in one shaft, and can transport up to 40% more passengers than conventional elevators.

In 2017 thyssenkrupp will begin the installation of 8 TWIN elevators, 17 conventional elevators and 16 escalators within the 49-storey building. Visit: www.thyssenkrupp.com
