3D printing is already changing the way we produce objects, but it’s also having a big effect in the food industry. 3D printing food is very popular and additive manufacturing has allowed for the creation of some pretty intricate treats. You will have seen some of these designs already in lavish chocolate shops and high […]
It’s often the case that a manufacturing line makes use of various different laser tools. Lasers, while precise and accurate are powerful machines and require the right safety mechanisms to comply with regulations. Laser safety viewing windows are one such way of ensuring a laser is protected against to a high standard. Laser safety viewing […]
The Caterpillar 140M motor grader is a construction machine used to flatten surfaces during the grading process. The machine is a common feature on many building sites and is considered an industry standard in operational efficiency and overall productivity. All of the M-series graders make use of twin joysticks allowing for a high level of operator control. The 140M is […]
It is an unfortunate fact that many building sites see criminal damage and theft when the area is not in use. It’s during these times that vehicles are often left stationary and unmanned, making them prime targets for criminals and vandals. Many building companies opt for expensive security options, however not all can afford to […]
When you are buying a laser engraving UK machine, you need to ensure that you get the best one. When you go out there to do the shopping, you will be amazed by the high number you get in the UK market. With the many laser engraving machines, there are certain factors you must consider […]
The rotary screw belongs to the positive displacement compressor family. Positive displacement pumps create flow by applying an expanding cavity on the suction side and a decreasing cavity on the discharge side. Gas that is trapped inside the positive displacement machine is a fixed volume which is then compressed or displaced into the discharge manifold. […]
Adding enhanced, performance parts is an effective way of increasing the efficiency of an existing crane. Performance parts are specially engineered and designed to meet or surpass the OEM requirements as originally supplied with the crane. Typical performance improvements can include changes to the material, design and/or manufacturing process that improve the effectiveness and even the overall life span of the part. These enhancements […]
Industrial air compressors are necessary for many lines of work. Industrial units, unlike their at-home counterparts, are much larger. There are a variety of different styles of compressors that are made specifically for industrial use. Choosing the right air compressor can be a daunting task. When it is all said and done, however, the right […]
Industrial chiller machines are a type of machines that remove heat through vapour compression or absorption refrigeration cycle. The process involves installing several pumps, piping, condensers and other cooling systems. An industrial chiller machine utilizes either water vapour or absorption to exclude the heat out of liquids such as water, lithium bromide solution, inhibitors, glycol […]
Nitrogen is one of the common compounds in the universe. It accounts for about 78% of the universe. Despite this, nitrogen generation is common owing to the many industrial requirements where nitrogen is used. There are two main methods applied in production of nitrogen for industrial purposes. These are the use of pressure swing adsorption […]
While the manufacturing process of cells, packs and electrodes for large format batteries is still in its early stages. The development structure of the process must change. Currently it is too expensive and not fast enough to support the production of lithium-ion energy storage. For this technology to fully develop and be successful in current […]
A cooling tower is a heat exchanger which works by combining air and water in order to reduce the waters temperature. As this occurs, a small volume of water is evaporated, reducing the temperature of the water being circulated through the tower. When the air and water meet, a small amount of water is evaporated which creates […]
With many different cranes available, it can sometimes be hard to distinguish what the benefits are of each. Below we list three reasons why we think a mobile crane could be beneficial. One of the most popular reasons for construction sites using a mobile crane is due to jobs sites being small. Mobile cranes can […]
Today, the use of compressed air is crucial to industry in the UK. Basically, compressed air is air that has been forced under a pressure that is greater than atmospheric pressure. The concept is similar to how air is forced into a pump to fill a bicycle tyre. Compressed air is used, to name a […]
