News & Events SolidLux Instant Coating Lack of demarcation between traffic and pedestrians is a major contributory factor to accidents in the work place. SolidLux can help. An industrial grade, coloured floor coat- ing that cures instantly when exposed to UV light and is immediately resistant to intensive mechanical and chemical stresses. An ideal solution in any situation where floor main- tenance or renovation work inevitably will disturb the regular activities with associated loss of income and other expenditure. Drying and curing is contained within a single process. The coating is exposed to UV light with a portable UV lamp. Instant curing and a smart working sequence means the floor coating can be applied while business contin- ues with minimal disruption. Mark out your workplace safety plan with Solidlux. Friction, Lubrication, And Wear Technology Resource Released The new 2017 edition of Volume 18 is a comprehensive, up-to-date resource on surface engineering, lubrication, design, and materials selection strategies to improve the reliability and operational life of components. The 2017 edition of ASM Handbook, Volume 18: Friction, Lubrication, and Wear Technology has undergone a significant expansion and revision of coverage by a new group of global experts and builds on articles devoted to specific friction- or wear-critical components supported by coverage on the fundamental physical principles of friction, lubrication, and wear. In addition to basic concepts, methods of lab testing and analysis, materials selection, and field diagnosis and monitoring of friction and wear are also covered. Visionscope Technologies Karl Storz rigid borescopes are particularly robust and designed for heavy-duty industrial use. With the HOPKINS® rod lens system, they reliably deliver exceptionally clear, sharp and bright images. Borescopes essentially consist of an optical system, mechanics, and a light guide system. The double-wall sheath and the special glass endpiece at the tip render the borescope extremely resistant to damage and wear and ensure optimal protection of the telescope. Special Features: • • • • Pressure resistant up to +5 bar Metal layers to protect the optical system Resistant to oil, fuel & solvents Temperature resistant up to 150’C Tel: 01709 540131.

Health & safety is a key issue and EMI has its own health & safety advisor – Chris Milner. Everyone working on the site has to be supplied with fire retardant overalls, and these have to be kept clean. Last year EMI replaced its old laundry equipment with a Huebsch YWN washer with a 92 litre drum and a huebsch YDE tumble dryer from Armstrong Commercial Laundry Equipment. The laundry is operated by the stores staff who are responsible for the personal protection equipment. www.armstronglaundry.com 01635 263410 130 PECM Issue 31 With a core aim of providing the highest quality systems, the latest project includes the design and delivery of a Waste Water Treatment Plant within the food industry undertaken in under 4 months offering a low cost, low visual impact, low energy solution to deal with over 1,500m3/week of effluent.
