New lighting rental scheme aids cash flow Using LED lighting with the latest in lighting management systems, it is now relatively easy to achieve 50% to 80% energy savings on most projects with these energy savings paying for the systems and installation. With this in mind, Aura Light has launched a ‘Rent Your Lighting’ scheme which eliminates investment in equipment and reduces an organisation’s energy costs from day one. Simon Taylor, Aura Light UK’s Managing Director comments, “This is an exciting development with big benefits for UK commerce and industry. The concept is likely to appeal to all business directors and accountants as the scheme aids cash flow keeping costs off the balance sheet and also takes advantage of the tax benefits.” Email: [email protected] www.aura-light.co.uk Machining Washing machine supplied by Armstrong gets the smell out of artificial latex body parts! Limbs & Things, is a medical simulation company that manufactures artificial body parts for use in clinical and surgical skills training. The manufacturing process involves the use of various chemicals, and when the latex material comes out of the ovens it has a very strong and unpleasant smell. In order to get rid of the smell, and also to improve the colour of the finished items, they are washed, using ordinary washing powder, in a machine supplied by Armstrong Commercial Laundry Systems. The machine, which the company bought in 2013, is a Schulthess 7kg washerextractor and, according to Mark Brown, Manufacturing Maintenance Engineer at Limbs & Things, who works in the engineering department, is in use every day, often three times a day. “The material is poured into the moulds, goes into the ovens and from there the production line operators put it straight to the washing machine to get rid of the smell”, he told us.

The elastic Sylodyn® bearings protect the machine from vibrations to preserve the accuracy of its precision work while reducing maintenance needs at the same time. In order that the new precision grinding machine at the service centre of the technology provider Valmet in Cernay can be operated with long-term reliability, it was fitted with a vibration protection solution from Getzner in 2015. At 17 metres long and roughly five metres wide, the industrial grinding machine is used to renew the surface of metal rollers, such as those found in the paper and cardboard industry. The 170 metric ton unit rests on point bearings of Sylodyn® NE to protect it against shocks and vibrations. Developed and manufactured by Getzner itself, the material effectively reduces the transfer of vibrations, allowing the machine to deliver results with the utmost precision while reducing maintenance costs at the same time.
