ATLAS COPCO COMPACT BOOSTERS AMP UP PRESSURE INCREASE SAFETY IN YOUR OPERATIONS

Atlas Copco’s Hurricane high-pressure boosters feature a versatile and efficient design that delivers maximum pressure in a compact form factor. The Hurricane range uses modular designs that ensure they can fit a wide variety of applications, allowing two-stage boosters to be used in one stage mode to increase pressure. The Hurricane range is with any air compressor in a feed air configuration. Models include the Hurricane B7-41 single-stage compressor that is powered by a Caterpillar C7 diesel engine. Its small footprint fits power that is equivalent to larger and heavier units, while enabling a high pressure, gain penetration rate for drilling applications, including exploration projects and blast hole drilling.

A BREAKTHROUGH IN HELMET TECHNOLOGY

Dixon’s Layflat delivery hoses, which are used extensively across mining, quarrying, construction and irrigation, are particularly popular for high-lift drainage of water. Ease of transport and handling makes these delivery hoses particularly popular in applications such as dewatering high-sided coal mining pits. Dixon provides Layflat hoses in three performance classes, including medium duty (blue), heavy duty (red) and extra heavy duty (green). It is critical that customers choose the right hose that matches their requirements to avoid costly down times. As for any hydraulic assembly, the ultimate performance of the hose depends on the couplings used for their fitting. Dixon offers a wide range of couplings, each suited to a different water pressure level.

The new 3M Speedglas Welding Helmet G5-02 features the world’s first curved auto-darkening welding lens. Perhaps the most significant leap forward since the brand released the first auto-darkening welding helmet in 1981, Speedglas Curved Glass Technology serves to maximise the natural range of vision to create a 100 per cent wider field of view. While in the past a larger field of view would involve the compromise of a larger, heavier and more cumbersome helmet shell, the G5-02 lens allows the best of both worlds – wider views in an incredibly slim, lightweight helmet. The curved shape of the welding lens closely mirrors the welder’s face to increase peripheral vision, improve overall weight distribution and narrow the profile of the helmet.

LOCATE LEAKS QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY A GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL CLEANERS

The handheld Fluke ii900 Industrial Acoustic Imager enables maintenance teams to quickly and accurately locate air, gas and vacuum leaks in compressed air systems; even in noisy environments. Specifically designed for noisy production facilities, Fluke’s new SoundSight technology is simple to learn and easy to implement. The seven-inch LCD touchscreen overlays a SoundMap on a visual image for quick leak location identification up to 70 metres away. The straightforward, intuitive interface allows technicians to isolate the sound frequency of the leak to filter out loud background noise. In a matter of hours, maintenance teams can inspect an entire plant – during peak operations.

FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT BIG

The CRC SmartWasher Bioremediating parts washing system is a highly popular product in the mining industry. And for good reason too. By using bioremediating technology and an environmentally friendly cleaning fluid, known as OzzyJuice, the CRC SmartWasher offers a solvent-free method of cleaning greasy parts, and in that it combines multiple safety and sustainability benefits. In this solution, first contaminants and oil particles are separated from water with the help of the OzzyJuice liquid and then microbes entrapped in the filters eat the grease that leaves the tank clean and contaminant-free. The CRC SmartWasher is a great alternative to the traditional solvent-based parts cleaners.

Pulse Condition Monitoring captures real-time information on monitored equipment and provides alerts via e-mail when it detects the first sign of potential problems. By constantly monitoring the accelerations of the vibration screen, Pulse CM provides a forecast of the equipment’s dynamic condition in intervals of 48 hours, five days and four weeks. The system detects anomalies that will point an operation’s maintenance team to specific areas of the equipment that may require attention. With consistent use, Pulse CM will accurately point out and predict critical issues and advise when to schedule maintenance, along with what to focus on during that planned downtime.
