Trelleborg Industrial Hose, part of Trelleborg Engineered Systems, launches a new compound for food hoses that prevents the accelerated wear usually associated with static dissipation when transferring powdered foodstuffs.

Machine builders using vacuum for handling or pick-and-place applications now have an energy-saving option with the Series ZP2V vacuum saving valve from SMC.

Located near the small township of Neerim South, the Tarago reservoir is the first of three major Victorian state government infrastructure projects designed to increase Melbourne’s drinking water supplies by 240 billion litres per year by 2011.

In this article, Simon Wood, National Sales Manager, Boge Compressors, discusses how compressed air users can optimise their compressed air-related energy usage through heat recovery.

Manufacturers have always faced the challenge of constantly needing to find new ways to reduce the cost of their packaging processes. In today’s globally connected world, however, the game is much tougher and the stakes are much higher.

Field Device Type (FDT) technology remains one of the automation industry’s best-kept secrets. In spite of this, it is rapidly gaining market acceptance by simplifying the digital communication between a plant’s field devices and its control environment. It is at the heart of a ‘smart’ plant’s IT infrastructure and can deliver major cost savings to the plant’s operations.
