country.
With minimal facilities available to accommodate
growing populations, the team came up with ‘fly over’
homes. That is homes with a second storey which are
totally separate. The technology behind these homes
is a modular building system consisting of steelframed expanded polystyrene panels developed over
a decade for the African market.
‘Fly over’ homes are built using proven and
accredited technology. The housing package’s aim is
to provide families with safe and comfortable homes.

LSF Supplies has developed a blueprint design of a
35m2 two-bedroomed home, which is ideally suited
for high volume production of high-quality housing
products. This design is supplied and delivered in a
flat pack configuration.
One of the key benefits in applying this
technology includes the modular design that consists
of room-sized units that can be transported to site
easily and safely.

QUALITY LUBRICATION MADE EASY

I

ndustrial equipment such as cranes, anchors, elevators, shovels,
suspension and structures all have wire ropes which are
important to their operation. They are designed for different
applications in usually harsh environmental conditions.
Typically wire rope strands rub against each other, effectively
causing stretching, bending, fretting, fatigue and loss of strength.
They need lubrication to deal with bending stresses, high groove
pressures, moisture and corrosion that can damage the integrity of
the wire rope strands.
Filter Focus offers products and services that include lubricant
and lubricator supply, application and consultation. It distributes
Stran/CORE, which is used in conjunction with Core-Lube, an
automated wire rope lubricator, which is the first ever product that
doesn’t require pressure to distribute the lubricant into the wire
rope. Stran/CORE includes additives that fight corrosion, wear and
can displace water in the rope’s core.
The grease is supplied in a self-contained unit and the CoreLube is used to pump it to the collar using brushes on the inside to
ensure that the grease is evenly distributed along the wire rope. It
is able to accommodate wire ropes from 3.2mm to 43mm in size.
