and are the ideal solution for unloading and vapor-recovery applications. Equipped with high-efficiency valves, oversized
piston rings for maximum wear and S3R oil seal technology for superior protection, Blackmer compressors offer a
sustained high-level performance, energy efficiency, trouble-free operation and low maintenance costs.
EnviroGear E Series Magnetically Coupled Seal-less Internal Gear Pumps feature a revolutionary design with a
patented between-the-bearing support system. As an innovative, durable and environmentally-friendly positive
displacement pump, the E Series design effectively eliminates leaks and reduces mechanical wear, helping increase the
safety of site personnel and the environment. n
Lycored unveils user-friendly new names for its colours
Lycored has re-named all its colours for food and beverages as part of a re-branding strategy that emphasises simplicity
and user-friendliness. The new names communicate the qualities of the colours and their benefits to customers rather
than their origins.
The company offers a rich portfolio of super-stable food and beverage colorants sourced naturally from carotenoids. Its
lycopene-based range of reds, derived from tomatoes and previously called Tomat-O-Red, will now be grouped into four
new colour families.
Designed to be memorable, the names are all simple and constructed from two words that are either alliterative or
rhyme. Each communicates shade as well as product performance benefits such as stability:
SteadfastScarlet: A red with an orange direction (Steadfast meaning resolutely
fixed in place and unwavering)
ResilientRed: A ‘more red’ red (‘Resilient’ meaning not easily damaged)
ResoluteRuby: A darker red (‘Resolute’ implying firmly resolved or set in purpose)
ConstantCrimson: A red with a blue/purple direction (‘Constant’ referring to
color that does not change)
Similarly, there are three new colour families for Lycored’s range of yellows and
oranges, sourced from natural BetaCarotene and previously called Lyc-O-Beta.
OrangeOvation: Orange like the citrus fruit (‘Ovation’ referring to celebration or
applause for a great performer)
GoldHold: Gold, associated with precious metal (‘Hold’ affirms a robust capability
to stay firm)
StellarYellow: Communicating the star-like quality of yellow, as well as stellar
performance. n
