IPP & Renewables ATLAS COPCO DONATES SAFETY EQUIPMENT & PROMOTES SAFETY CONSCIOUSNESS AT MANGER CARE CENTRE Atlas Copco places safety consciousness at the core of operations and is committed in its drive to promote a safety-first culture not only amongst its employees, customers and suppliers, but also in communities. Walking this talk, the company recently donated personal protective equipment (PPE) and delivered a safety dialogue to the Manger Care Centre’s Eden House in Benoni, Johannesburg. Established in 1986, the Manger Care Centre is a non-profit organisation that offers a range of services to the vulnerable and less fortunate. The Care Centre provides psychological, spiritual guidance and emotional upliftment, as well as employment opportunities, postrehabilitation services and housing to its beneficiaries. Manger Care Centre’s Eden House provides protection care services to abused woman and children, orphans, recovering addicts, exparolees, the unemployed, and destitute, physically challenged individuals as well as the elderly that are unable to care for themselves. With the aim to reintegrate back into society, Eden House is focused on upskilling these individuals by offering training in useful trades such as welding, carpentry and baking. The items produced are sold and the funds are used to upkeep the center. With the goal to contribute to a more sustainable Centre by creating a safety-centric culture, an enthusiastic Atlas Copco team comprising Noluthando Zondo, Abigail Cruikshank, Marilyn Govender, Bongani Ndlovu and Michaela Kock arrived at Eden House on 12 November 2019, ready to impart safety knowledge and give away safety equipment. Following the distribution of safety shoes, safety glasses, a complete set of welding gear, overalls and gloves sponsored by Atlas Copco Holdings, the team gave an in-depth explanation on the correct use of PPE. The informative session also included a tool box talk. Atlas Copco donated personal protective equipment PPE & delivered a safety dialogue to the Manger Care Centre’s Eden House. Sarika Loubser, Manager at the Manger Care Centre, thanked Atlas Copco for the generous donation as well as for sharing valuable safety knowledge. “We really appreciate the PPE donation which will make a big difference in ensuring that our trainees work safely.” Marilyn Govender, Compliance Manager at Atlas Copco, concludes: “Atlas Copco encourages individuals to consider safety as a top priority when working with tools which is why we are proud to have assisted Eden House in their efforts to enhance their safety levels and encourage a safety-first mindset which they will be able to take these skills forward into their future jobs.” Atlas Copco donates safety equipment & promotes safety consciousness at Manger Care Centre 20
SKF TURNS UP THE HEAT WITH A PORTABLE BEARING HEATING SOLUTION COMPACT / REMOTE MAGNETIC INDUCTIVE FLOWMETER IN STAINLESS STEEL The new portable induction heater TWIM 15 from SKF uses medium-frequency technology to heat up roller bearings as well as other ring-shaped, metallic components. This innovative device heats the bearing mounted with an interference-fit onto a shaft, generating up to a 90°C temperature difference between the bearing and shaft, causing the bearing to expand. This solution eliminates the need to use force, thereby facilitating the installation process. Featuring two power settings, the electric TWIM 15 can heat sensitive components at a slower pace. In addition, a nonbearing power configuration is possible where most of the power is focused on the bore of the component. The TWIM 15 is manufactured from glass-fiber, high temperature-resistant plastic. This smart construction combined with operating software produces a low temperature difference between the bearing’s inner and outer rings. This reduces internal tensions generated by excessive thermal expansion of the inner ring compared to the outer ring. This robust construction material, together with the mediumfrequency technology, makes the heater lightweight and noisefree; heat readings are conveniently displayed on a LED control panel. This user-friendly control panel also indicates when the TWIM 15 is operational, regulates temperature and does not requiring any special training. The flat shape of the induction plate removes the need for a support yoke which allows for a variety of components to be heated on the plate. Furthermore, this versatile design reduces the number of required accessories. Recently introduced to the Sub-Saharan <strong>African</strong> market, the TWIM 15 from SKF is easy to transport and store thanks to the practical built-in handle. For information contact: Samantha Joubert, Marketing Manager Email: samantha.joubert@skf.com INSTROTECH is pleased to announce a new product development in Kobold’s MIM Magnetic Inductive Flowmeter. MIM now features IO-Link, a short distance, bi-directional, digital, point-to-point, wired, industrial communications networking standard used for connecting digital sensors and actuators to either a type of industrial fieldbus or a type of industrial Ethernet, a world-first in magnetic inductive flowmeters. MIM is now also available in a remote version for medium temperatures of up to +140°C. The MIM flowmeter was developed for measuring and monitoring smaller- and medium-sized flow of conductive liquids in pipes and operates according to the electromagnetic measurement principle. Faraday’s Law of magnetic induction states that a voltage is induced in a conductor moving through a magnetic field. The electrically conductive measuring agent acts as the moved conductor. The voltage induced in the measuring agent is proportional to the flow velocity and is therefore a value for the volumetric flow. The flowing media must have a minimum conductivity. The induced voltage is picked up by two sensing electrodes which are in contact with the measuring agent and sent to the measuring amplifier. The flow rate is calculated based on the cross sectional area of the pipe. The measurement does not depend on the process liquid and its material properties such as density, viscosity and temperature. Two given outputs can be set to be switch, analogue or frequency. A dosing function can also be selected, where output 1 is set as switch NPN / PNP / PP and output 2 is set as control input. Overview of MIM’s significant characteristics: • Stainless steel design • Flow and temperature measurement • Monitoring, dosing and transmitter function • Dosing function with external control input • Coloured, multi-parameter configurable TFT-display, rotatable in 90° steps • Bi-directional measuring • Intuitive setup menu via 4 optical touch keys • 2 configurable outputs (pulse- /frequency-/alarm- and analogue output) • Grand and resettable totaliser Contact INSTROTECH For more information on Kobold’s MIM Compact / Remote Stainless Steel Magnetic Inductive Flowmeter on 010 595 1831 or sales@ instrotech.co.za 21
