executions, these high corrosion-resistance

chains are designed for wash downs, safeguarding

continuous hygienic compliance. In combination with

our in-house Match & Tag service this solution offers

exceptional accuracy, reducing downtime and batch

waste.”

With their Match & Tag service Tsubaki ensures

chains to be within a specific length tolerance for

those applications where chains run in parallel lines

with special attachments connecting the two. For

these types of applications, even pairs and multiple

chain lengths are matched and tagged for easy

identification and installation. Tsubaki can guarantee

a maximum chain length differences of 0.50mm

independent of the total chain length.

Tsubakimoto UK is a member of the

Tsubaki Group, the global leader in power

Manufacturing Update

DMN-WESTINGHOUSE rotary

valves and diverter valves

Setting new standards for the dairy industry

Product quality, product safety. The guiding

mantra in dairy production. That’s why the

world’s leading dairy producers rely on

the products and solutions developed by DMN-

WESTINGHOUSE. Our rotary valves and diverter

valves offer the highest level of precision

engineering, preventing bridging and possible

contamination during conveying processes. At

the same time, they guarantee unparalleled

cleanability, drastically increasing product

safety while reducing downtime for maintenance

and repairs.

Taking up the challenges

Through years of experience and valuable

partnerships, DMN-WESTINGHOUSE has gained a

deep understanding of the global dairy industry

and its challenges. We have earned the trust of an

industry where hygiene, cleanability, and safety are

paramount. In our R&D department, we leverage

innovative technology, setting the dairy industry

standard. In our factories, we control every step in

the manufacturing of heavy-duty rotary valves and

diverter valves.

Always compliant

Just like you, we strive for unparalleled quality and

consistency. A commitment underscored by our

compliance with current certifications, including

USDA, EHEDG-ED Class II and ATEX.

Whether it’s about infant formula, lactoferrin,

(plant-based) milk powders, caseinates or probiotics,

at DMN-WESTINGHOUSE, we help you maintain the

highest quality standards in dairy.

Heavy-duty, finest quality

Many producers of dairy products, ranging from

baby formula to lactoferrin, rely on our renowned

heavy-duty rotary valves. These valves come in two

types and various sizes: the drop-through type (AL/

AXL/AML) and the blow-through type (BL/BXL/BXXL).

They comfortably comply with the stringent hygiene

standards the dairy industry needs to maintain.

All product contact surfaces consist of food-grade

material, polished to perfection. They are all radiused

and polished to an astonishing 0,8 μm Ra (150 grit),

and the rotor vanes have precisely chamfered edges

preventing the build-up of conveyed dairy powders.

MZC-series: standard for safety, hygiene and

cleanability

Cleaning intervals will vary depending on which dry

dairy substances are processed. To reduce cleaning

time and resulting downtime, we developed the

MZC rotary valves based

on our AL- and BL-series.

The MZC-I and MZC-II are

equipped with supporting

rails so the rotor and end

cover can be removed. The

MZC-II opens on two sides for

unprecedented easy access

and superior cleanability.

These valves facilitate

premium process handling,

raising the bar in cleanability,

hygiene, and safety. The

rotor body clearances are

set automatically when the

rotary valve is closed after

cleaning.

Manufacturing Update

Options for ultimate safety and reliability

Adding innovative solutions can take your dairy

production to the next level. We offer:

t Rotor Interference Detection (RID 3.0) is our

third generation, detecting unwanted contact

between the rotor and body or end covers. This

prevents major damage and provides insight into

product contamination. RID 3.0 offers 50 times

more accurate resistance measurement than its

predecessors.

t Shaft seal flow control boosts the reliability of

our AL and BL heavy-duty rotary valve series even

more. Precise flow control prevents the build-up

of powder residue on the shaft seals, minimising

the risks of seal failure, contamination, leakage,

damage and downtime.

t Rotary valves equipped with the Sanitary Air Seal

(SAS) outboard bearing shaft seal minimise leak

risks due to pressure changes inside the valve,

thus maintaining the right airflow.

Cleaning-in-place (CIP)

For maintaining hygiene and preventing

contamination, cleaning-in-place (CIP)

is indispensable. CIP is about cleaning

the interior of pipelines, valves, tanks

and other equipment without the need

for disassembly. In the dairy industries

it’s a necessary, often automated

method to maintain the highest levels

of hygiene and prevent contamination.

Your perfect Niro replacement

Handling dry dairy solids is about

maintaining the strictest standards and

requirements 24/7. Are you currently

operating Niro rotary valves needing

replacement any time soon? Our NR347

rotary valves (NR = Niro replacement)

match the outer dimensions of the Niro

valves operating within your system,

which means they are usually a perfect fit. The

NR347 is based on our heavy-duty AL250 model and

is made of stainless steel. Meeting all hygiene and

safety standards, the NR347 will prove its value day

in and day out.

Our diverter valves: boosting efficiency and

hygiene

Diverging and converging powders or granulates is

a daily routine in dairy production. Safety, efficiency

and maximum hygiene are key. That’s why our 2-TDV,

3-TDV, M-TDV, and GPD diverter valves are very much

in demand.

t Our 2-TDV and 3-TDV diverter valves are

designed for quick disassembly and streamlined

distribution. The 2-TDV effortlessly handles two

destinations, while the 3-TDV targets three.

t The M-TDV efficiently handles the pneumatic

transport of powders or pellets, diverging and

converging flows to multiple destinations.

Available in different sizes, offering up to 14 ports.

t Our diverter valves are the perfect choice for

systems needing regular, quick cleaning with

minimal downtime.

pumps are used to load and recirculate OFMSW

to anaerobic digesters. This drives both

methane recovery and sustainability,”

explained Massimo Ghio, Sales Area

Manager at Perissinotto S.p.A. PEMO

PUMPS.

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a leading

approach to managing and stabilising

biodegradable waste and produces biogas:

a prized renewable energy source. Also

importantly, AD systems capture methane,

reducing greenhouse gases in the process- a

leading cause of climate change.

PEMO PUMPS are routinely used

in waste water treatment plants,

OFMSW or liquid manure treatments,

supporting the global move to greater sustainability.

PEMO PUMPS is a brand of Perissinotto S.p.A. and was

established in 1947 by Antonio Perissinotto. The pumps

were first primarily used

in marble and granite

cutting processes across the

construction sector before

diversifying into the steel

industry, then chemical

and wastewater treatment.

In the last twelve months,

the company has expanded

its warehouse by 2,000m²

to aid further pump

production for growing

global demand.

Convert your costly waste

stream into extra revenue

In today’s industry, briquetting

is a growing solution for waste

management, efficiency, and cost

savings. By compacting loose waste—

like dust and shavings—into highvalue

fuel briquettes, companies gain

an efficient heating source for internal

use or a sellable byproduct, creating

new revenue and lowering disposal

costs.

Petroleum Oil Residue (POR) briquettes,

made from petroleum byproducts, are

a popular coal alternative in heavy

industry. With high calorific value and

lower emissions, POR briquettes are an

efficient and eco-friendly fuel choice.

Briquette Tech has over 25 years’

experience selling and servicing POR

briquetting machines, helping clients

with the environmental sustainability

of their manufacturing models. Its

large range of machines can help to

convert your costly waste stream into

extra revenue.

Environmental Update

ECO PHYSICS AG develops new three-channel

chemiluminescence analyser (NO/NO 2 /NH 3 )

ECO PHYSICS AG offers innovative analytical

solutions for measurement tasks in the fields of

environment, health and process control. Using its

vital expertise and technology to contribute towards

environmental preservation, human health, and

industrial innovation, ECO PHYSICS’ interdisciplinary

research and development team work tirelessly to

deliver the best customer orientated and tailor-made

products and services for the industry.

Founded in 1990 through a management buy-out,

ECO PHYSICS stands strong today as an independent

Swiss shareholder’s company with

an active board of members who are committed

to the future growth and success of the company. We

spoke to Dr. Grischa Peter Feuersänger,

Head of Sales & Marketing who explained

how the past 12 months have fared.

“We have received a positive recovery post pandemic.

Many public projects were reopened which generated

a lot of opportunities for new references. The war in

East Europe is a new tough challenge to overcome,

especially for companies that rely almost completely

on importing parts and exporting their finished

products. But the main challenge for all of us has

particularly been the manufacturing costs, shipping

routes and exchange rates. Since 2022, we have

used this time to expand our product portfolio and

modernise our production line. New staff has been

hired for production and R&D, and we have rearranged

the supply chain due to the rise in production costs.

We have adapted our yearly forecast to cater to

this, we know it will be hard, but optimisation is our

current goal.”

Knowing there is no quick fix to economic changes,

ECO PHYSICS is determined to continue innovating

and has developed a new three-channel analyser

based on chemiluminescence. As an upgrade from

the The nCLD AL2, The nCLDAL3/8555 CY analyser is

the next generation in high precision nitrogen oxide

measurement. Unique in speed and reliability, the

nCLDAL3/8555 CY is modular designed and capable

of simultaneously NO, NO2, NOX, NH3 and NOX-

Amines. The new and intuitive graphical user interface

also individually displays and connects to other

instruments’ data.

Overall stability and reliability are lifted to a new

level. The optional electro-mechanical bypass system

balances out even the fastest of pressure variations

occurring in the sample flow. Furthermore, the

analyser is adaptable to numerous non-standardised

applications and the calibration of the unit runs

quickly and automatically with all necessary data

available anywhere at any time. Its user friendly,

compact, modular, and intelligent hosting its own

CPU whilst enabling interaction with other CPUs by

BUS-communication.

Additionally, ECO PHYSICS has also been developing

upgrade kits for all its existing products to help

counteract some of the problematic complications

the supply chain has caused. “We have used this

chance for some substantial upgrades in hardware,

software and gas flow controls,” added Dr. Grischa

Peter Feuersänger.

Going forward, ECO PHYSICS is excited to continue

working on optimising production workflow whilst

simultaneously expanding its current portfolio and

developing new technologies.

In closing, we asked Dr. Grischa Peter Feuersänger how

the company felt receiving our award. He responded,

“We are extremely honoured to be nominated, thank

you.”

Kemtile wades into Wessex Water flooring challenge

Kemtile, a division of Stonhard,

has recently completed the

installation of a new hard-wearing

and chemically resistant flooring

solution for Wessex Water at their

Food Hall Facility.

A proactive approach to health and

safety was maintained throughout

the installation with the installation

teams complying with the site CDM

regs which included the mandatory

use of gas monitors at all times.

The regional water and sewerage

business – which serves 2.9 million

customers across the south-west of

England – had recruited Kemtile to

provide a suitable flooring solution

for their ‘food to power’ facility in

Avonmouth.

Corrosive elements contained in the

domestic waste treated on-site by

Wessex had attacked the concrete

floor surface to leave it ‘pitted’ and

uneven. A subsequent ‘overlayment’

installed to combat the problem

had also failed within a short period of time leaving

the floor needing a complete rethink in terms of a

solution.

Kemtile visited the site over 18 months and

undertook testing works of the existing finishes and

structural slab by taking ‘cores’ and having these

examined by a concrete testing laboratory. Assisteds

by Sean McIntyre, Stonhard Coatings and Lining

Manager, Kemtile developed a specification that

included the removal of all the existing finishes back

down to the structural slab and the installation of

a new fit-for-purpose floor. This included – a new

concrete overlay to ‘falls’, new surface drainage and

a chemically resistant, hard-wearing floor finish

capable of withstanding the movement and ‘scaping’

from a 25-tonne mechanical loader.

Kemtile installed Stonhard’s Stonclad UT – a highimpact

polyurethane-based floor screed which

exhibits excellent abrasion, thermal shock, thermal

cycling and chemical-resistant characteristics.

Stonclad UT was installed at 12mm thick, it

incorporated a ‘unique’ wear-indicating layer that

shows if maintenance is required given the extremes

of use in this facility. The system was further

reinforced with a layer of Stonhard’s Stonchem 601

chemical-resistant lining system to further enhance

its chemical-resistant properties.

Dan Owen, Project Engineer of

GENco/Wessex Water Enterprises,

said, “Kemtile brought great

expertise to the table from day

one dealing with a significant level

of deterioration and providing

immediate support – as well as

supplying the final flooring fix over

the 18 months that we worked

together. I commend them on

seamless delivery with minimum

disruption to the rest of the plant

which remained in operation

throughout.”

Kemtile’s David Priest commented, “This was

a significant project for us – in a sector with

huge potential – involving a number of external

stakeholders for sign-off including the original

structural engineers.

“We drew on expertise from across the Stonhard

group globally working with colleagues based in

Canada and Portugal who had completed similar

projects and had an excellent understanding of the

requirements of the industry.”

Access Update

Union Industries Ramdoor helps Sonoco with

efficiency improvements

Union Industries, the UK’s leading manufacturer

of bespoke industrial doors, has helped Sonoco

introduce more efficient operating procedures with the

installation of its high speed Ramdoor.

It represents a first for the paper mill in Halifax, West

Yorkshire, which recycles wastepaper and cardboard -

converting it into a range of useful products.

With efficiency in mind, Union’s rugged Ramdoor

replaced a slow and outdated roller shutter door,

at the same time helping with the segregation of

pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Sited in a section of the warehouse leading to

the waste yard, the newly installed Ramdoor has

enabled Sonoco to increase the frequency of both

large machinery and forklift traffic through this

entranceway, in line with changes to their operating

procedures.

IAS: Exclusive new Socage

product coming in 2025

Due to the large volumes of wastepaper processed,

it is important that the Ramdoor seals quickly,

preventing the ingress of debris. A Class 5 wind

resistance rating provides extra benefit - helping

maintain operations during more challenging weather

conditions.

Sonoco, a multi-billion-dollar global provider of

consumer packaging, industrial products and

packaging supply chain services, has been a customer

of Union Industries for almost 30 years, having

previously fitted four Matadoors.

This is the first Ramdoor to be installed at the site

- features include a variable speed drive motor with

frequency inverter for greater control, thick Ramhide

door blade material with anti-static additive and

a ‘Crash Out’ system which reduces the potential

of bottom beam damage - helping to minimise

downtime and repair costs.

The heavy-duty wind-bar system, combined with the

extra-deep side-guides, provides added strength, and

contributes to the Ramdoor’s ability to cope with high

wind loads and pressures.

Paul Hindley, Engineering Manager at Sonoco, said,

"The installation of the Ramdoor at our Halifax facility

is a game-changer. It allows for quicker, safer, and

more efficient movement of our large machinery

and vehicles. This has enabled us to introduce

changes to our operational procedures, creating more

Printing Update

Soyang Europe builds

sustainable future for

customers with Reconomy

oyang Europe has been working with

SReconomy to offer customers access to

environmentally focused and responsible

waste management services.

International circular economy specialist

Reconomy has revealed how its relationship

with wide-format and superwide-format

media manufacturer and distributor Soyang

Europe is helping UK print service providers

to improve their environmental credentials.

Reconomy combines technology and skills

to enable businesses to better manage

their resources, helping to reduce waste,

optimise their supply chains, and contribute

in a meaningful way towards the circular

economy.

While this involves working directly

with print companies, Reconomy is

also partnered with several leading

manufacturers and distributors, supporting

their customers with textile waste

management. One such partnership is

with Soyang Europe, whereby printers

using materials from Soyang Europe can

responsibly dispose of their waste.

This partnership came about three years ago

with the support of FESPA UK. Reconomy

was working on various sustainability

initiatives with FESPA, while Soyang Europe

is a long-term member of the association.

The process works with Reconomy providing

customers with a baler to prepare their

textile waste. Soyang Europe then collects

the bales when delivering new products

to customers, with the waste taken to its

facility in Altham in Lancashire ready for

bulk collection and transportation to a

recycling facility for processing.

“It was a perfect fit,” said Reconomy

Director, Jon Hutton. “Soyang has always

been proactive in wanting to offer their

customers, and the wider industry, waste

management solutions for their products.

“Sustainability is a hot topic for several

reasons. Brands and consumers are looking

down the supply chain for environmental

credentials, so it’s therefore a driving

factor in how to not only maintain and

gain business, but how a printer positions

themselves for the long term.”

Mark Mashiter, Managing Director at Soyang

Europe, added, “It provides our customers

with an outlet for their waste. This works

well with local customers when we deliver

orders to them; we can bring any textile

bales back with us and store them in our

yard until they are collected.”

Renewable energy & recycling materials

Originally, Reconomy had sourced a solution

for recycling PVC banner and polyester

fabrics at a UK site, whereby waste was

blended with other polymers to produce low

grade products. While this process ended

when more desirable material became

available to the market, a recovery route

was soon set up and, with the support of

Wheeldon Brothers, waste could now be

diverted from landfill to renewable energy.

Reconomy combines technology

and skills to enable businesses

to better manage their

resources, helping to reduce

waste, optimise their supply

chains, and contribute towards

the circular economy

However, recycling has since been reestablished

and material is again being

used in manufacturing processes. Coupled

with its use for renewable energy, all of this

is helping work towards a circular economy.

An additional benefit to the service is that

Soyang Europe is willing to take other

supplier’s waste textiles along with its own.

This option is available to customers using

their own transport within a set radius of

Soyang Europe’s facility and when making

deliveries.

“Soyang Europe wants to be part of

the environmental solution and not

the problem,” Jon said. “The take-back

scheme provides a platform for printers

to demonstrate their sustainability by

providing customers with an outlet for their

recycling waste.

“Several customers have engaged with

Reconomy further and are now collecting

their own clients’ end-of-campaign textiles,

integrating this with the collection of

their materials. All loads are tracked, and

Certificates of Recycling can be issued once

the material has been processed.”

The work does not stop here for Reconomy,

with Jon saying the company will continue

to work with Soyang Europe, FESPA UK and

its wider membership base to provide more

sustainable solutions to the UK industry.

“It’s our aim to continue to be a driving

force in educating the industry on the

importance of recycling and developing

circular economies,” Jon said. “This, with

the continued support of Soyang Europe,

will ensure more customers take up this

service.”

Health & Safety Update

Schmersal now also sells a safe laser scanner on the

European market

The safe laser scanner UAM-05LP offers

maximum vewrsatility for safe area monitoring

The Schmersal Group continues to expand

its range of products for safe area

monitoring: the company is now selling the

UAM-05LP safety laser scanner from Japanese

manufacturer Hokuyo in Europe, beginning

with markets in Germany, France, Austria and

Switzerland. The safety scanner is characterised

by its extremely compact design and low

weight, as well as its flexible integration

options and high safety standards. This helps

it to ensure maximum personal protection in

logistics, manufacturing & the process industry.

Contactless protective devices, such as

laser scanners, offer many benefits in the

implementation of safety requirements. In

contrast to guard fences and guard doors, there

is no manual opening and closing requirement,

and they do not impede materials transport.

In addition, they also enable a clearer view of

machinery and processes.

The UAM safety laser scanner handles presence

control on stationary machinery and robot

systems, with the UAM’s sensor utilising

Why should you service and

maintain a safety shower

aintaining a safety shower is crucial for

Mensuring its optimal performance and

effectiveness during emergency situations.

Here are several reasons why maintaining a

safety shower is essential:

infrared beams to scan the environment and

detect the entry of people and objects into

the safety zone. This also allows the Hokuyo

UAM to achieve a wide range: with a detection

range of up to 270°, a safety clearance of up to

5m and a warning detection area of 20m, the

laser scanner can be used in various machinery

safety applications.

The laser scanner can be easily configured for

a wide range of uses and also has the ability to

monitor two hazardous areas at the same time,

eg. two adjacent robots. Each of the two safety

zones switches its own OSSD output.

Furthermore, the safety laser scanner is also

able to undertake access control as well as

arm and hand protection for safety-critical

areas in work zones, eg. as part of insertion and

assembly workflows.

Another advantage of the Hokuyo laser scanner

is its encoder input: with the help of encoders,

the speed and direction of travel of automated

guided vehicles (AGVs) are transferred to the

laser scanner, so that the safety zones can be

dynamically adjusted to stop the AGV in case

of danger.

The Hokuyo UAM-05LP is suitable for use in

machinery safety applications up to PL d, Cat. 3

in accordance with EN ISO 13849 and SIL 2 in

accordance with IEC 61508.

1) Reliable Emergency Response

Regular maintenance ensures that the

safety shower is in proper working condition

and ready to be used when needed.

By conducting routine inspections and

maintenance activities such as testing

water flow, checking water temperature,

adjusting controls, and inspecting valves,

any potential issues or malfunctions can be

identified and addressed promptly, ensuring

that the safety shower will function reliably

during an emergency.

2) Employee Safety

The primary purpose of a safety shower is

to provide immediate decontamination in

case of exposure to hazardous substances.

Regular maintenance helps ensure that

the safety shower delivers the appropriate

water flow rate, temperature, and coverage

necessary for effective decontamination.

3) Compliance with Regulations

Safety showers are often subject to regulatory

requirements and standards that specify their

maintenance and inspection. By adhering to

these regulations, organizations demonstrate

their commitment to compliance and

workplace safety.

4) Extended Lifespan

Proper maintenance and care can

significantly extend the lifespan of a

safety shower. By promptly addressing any

issues, replacing worn-out components,

and conducting regular cleaning, you can

prevent major breakdowns and costly

repairs.

5) Reputation and Employee confidence

Demonstrating a commitment to maintaining

safety showers indicates a strong safety

culture within an organization. Regular

maintenance instils employee confidence in

the workplace safety measures and shows

that their wellbeing is a top priority.

Conclusion

Maintaining a safety shower is essential

for its reliable performance, employee

safety, regulatory compliance, and overall

operational readiness. Regular maintenance

and inspections help identify and address

any issues promptly, ensuring that the

safety shower is always ready for use

during emergencies.

Manufacturing Optical Measurement System Company of the Month

ARCoptix: Leading FTIR/

FT-NIR Spectrometers

In this issue of Industry Update, we are delighted to

showcase ARCoptix as our Manufacturing Optical

Measurement System Company of the Month

ARCoptix is a renowned Swiss

manufacturer of optical measurement

systems, with popular products such

as the FTIR spectrometers and liquid crystal

systems.Established by a team of engineering

experts in 2005, the company is privately owned

and located in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The

picturesque area is an hour from Geneva in the

heart of the Jura mountains, known famously

as ‘Watch Valley.’ Over the last 19 years, the

Swiss company has

fostered powerful

partnerships with the

Swiss Federal Insitute

of Technology Lausanne

(EPFL), Bern University

of Applied Sciences

(BFH) and of course

the globally renowned

Swiss horological

(watch) industry. With

cutting-edge R&D

facilities, ARCoptix has

established a wealth of

expertise in optics and

microtechnology, with

a loyal, broad customer

base.

“We work in the niche market of FTIR spectrometers

and in addition, carry out bespoke optical systems

for individual companies. We offer a unique range of

FTIR OEM instruments, ideal for system integrators.

The ARCoptix GASEX FTIR system for example, is

specifically designed for the gas analytics industry.

“The GASEX system consists of a 5 metre path

cell combined with a high-resolution 0.5cm -1 FTIR

spectrometer, covering a spectral range from 5,000

to 850cm -1 . The system is compact and optimised

for system integrators. In addition to the OEM

solutions, ARCoptix also offers a range of standard

desktop products primarily focused on optical fibre

applications,” proudly outlined owner, Gerben Boer.

The OEM010 module is integrated to a low volume

(0.2L) heated (up to 200°C) gas cell, where light

experiences multiple reflections, giving an integrated

optical path of 5m

with more than 50%

transmission. The cell's

internal optics is rhodium

and gold coated, meaning

it is highly resistant to

most chemicals such as

acid gases HF, HCl, HBr.

The Gasex System

contains an interferometer

module with the MCT

detector, an IR light source

and a multi-reflection gas

cell. The light is made by

a black body radiation

module and modulated

by a dual corner cube

interferometer. The light is then integrated into the

Gas cell, followed by the injection of the gas under

analysis, where this is reflected back and forth

multiple times. Lastly, the light is focused on the

MCT detector. This is perfect for the fight against

climate change such as ambient air (pollution)

monitoring, exhaust emissions and continuous

emissions monitoring (CEM).

“Other applications include combustion monitoring,

toxic gas detection, mining, aerospace, through to

agriculture, petrol-chemistry, cement kilns and much

more”

The GASEX MODULAR: ARCoptix FTIR GAS is a

portable gas analyser and one of our leading

benefit wider industry and society, but when done

correctly, also provides efficiency and cost benefits.

there are different ways to implement this. A traditional

solution using large variable step-up/step-down

transformers has been a robust technique used for a long

time, but it lacks flexibility. After carefully considering the

design, Eurotherm developed a new power solution in the

form of power boxes (power skids).

A proven technology

It’s recognised that electrical melting and boosting

are not the only technologies available to reduce GHG

emissions. The two other main energy options being

investigated by the industry are hydrogen and biofuel.

There is plenty of research into this and there are some

very promising tests and industrial implementations on

glass furnaces.

In terms of technological readiness, infrastructure,

production and capacity, hydrogen and biofuels are

unlikely to be suitable short-term or even midterm

solutions for the industry’s energy and CO2 challenges.

Therefore, it’s believed that the future systems will be

based on a hybrid mix of solutions varying by region and

industry.

The benefit of electrical melting is that it is not only a

proven technology, but it’s already available today for

large-scale glass furnaces all over the world. As a result,

we expect that by between 2030 to 2040, electrical

boosting, or melting, will represent more than 50% of the

total melting energy for most new and cold-repaired glass

furnaces, including for float glass.

Power boxes

Looking specifically at electrical boosting and melting,

These power boxes bring versatility and efficiency with

much shorter lead-times and finer granularity of control,

as well as easier installation, using cables instead of large

busbars. With power skids located close to the electrodes,

or even underneath the furnace in a few instances, this

solution keeps the voltage as high as possible, for as long

as possible.

The key benefit is that it significantly reduces the line

current and the corresponding heat loss. Plus, instead of

expensive copper busbars running over 20 to 40 metres

to the electrodes, it uses much smaller cables.

Energy savings

With a variable transformer design, there is usually a

significant difference between the kWs needed to melt

the glass and the kilo volt amperes (kVA) rating of the

transformer. This means that this type of system must be

oversized, typically by up to 50 per cent, which increases

cost.

For example, for a two MW at 200V system with three

single boosting zones, the system would typically be

designed at three mega-volt amperes (MVA). For only

2,000kW power needed to melt the glass, the system

needs to be designed at typically a minimum of

3,000kVA, with three 5,000A at 200V busbar systems to

the electrodes.

With Eurotherm’s power box solution, an alternative

design using a much more standard medium voltage

transformer with a secondary voltage between 400 and

480V is possible. Power skids can be placed as close as

possible to the electrodes to control and step down the

voltage to the desired operating range.

The high amperage is only after the power skids and

therefore on much shorter cable distances to the

electrodes. The power skids include power controllers

operating in automatic load tap changer mode, which

provides control of power on the full operating voltage

range at very high-power factor and without the

traditional mechanical wear.

The glass industry is searching for ways to decarbonise.

Here, not only will electric boosting and melting play a

large role in the decarbonisation of the glass industry, but

design methodology such as power skids, placed close to

the electrodes, is the more efficient way to go.

Leak detection for electric

vehicle battery production

lectric vehicles are a decisive factor

Ein reducing CO 2 emissions in road

traffic. They store the energy required for

propulsion in batteries and an electric

motor converts it into motion. In contrast

to combustion engines, no fossil fuels

are required. If the batteries are charged

with electricity from renewable energy

sources, they even have a completely

CO 2 -free energy balance. Today, lithiumion

batteries are used almost exclusively

as accumulators. Vacuum technology is

indispensable for their production.

Tracer gas leak detection ensures quality

The proper functioning, quality and safety

of lithium-ion batteries, which are used as

accumulators in impermeability to external

influences such as moisture ingress. For this

reason, leak detection systems are used in

battery production to check the batteries.

Pfeiffer Vacuum supplies the necessary

vacuum solutions from a single source.

One of the world’s leading battery

manufacturers for the automotive industry

is currently using test gas leak detection

systems from Zeltwanger Leak testing &

Automation GmbH, which are equipped

with complete solutions from Pfeiffer

Vacuum. The systems must meet stringent

requirements. The decisive factors here are

achieving the required cycle time and high

reproducibility of the battery cell test.

Enabled by Pfeiffer Vacuum technology,

even the smallest leaks can be quantified

and localized with the help of Zeltwanger’s

testing systems. This makes it possible to

quickly eliminate leaks in a downstream

production step.

Changes to geometries and improvements

to production methods and processes can

be initiated based on the results obtained.

This leads to quality improvements,

increases the yield and reduces

manufacturing and testing costs.

Anticipate London Preview

Anticipate London 2024: Bringing together global

leaders in people & property for a safer, smarter future

Through these discussions, it became evident that to

better address these macro-level issues, a new forum

was needed to bring leaders of property & people

together and showcase solutions that create a safer,

smarter future for all.

Chris Edwards, Group Director of Anticipate London,

commented, “Anticipate will become the full stop to

everyone’s year, looking back at 12 months of changes

in safety, security and property and discussing what

that means for the coming year.

Informa PLC, the world’s largest exhibition organiser,

have announced that the co-located exhibitions;

Facilities Show, FIREX, IFSEC and Safety & Health Expo

will now become part of newly launched Anticipate

London, taking place from the 2nd to the 4th December

2024 at ExCeL London.

Anticipate London emerged as a result of insightful

conversations with members of a future-focused

advisory board which includes leaders in security, safety,

FM and property from both FTSE 250 organisations and

the wider public sector.

These professionals find themselves navigating a

common landscape of challenges and opportunities

such as tech innovation and digitalisation, emerging

societal and global risks, climate change and

government legislation.

“Our new exhibition for 2024 embraces a fundamental

shift in the markets we serve, where many historically

defined job roles and responsibilities have become

blurred. Global events such as COVID-19, as well as

changes in work patterns and climate change have

catapulted people and property leaders to the forefront

of business strategy.

“Exhibitors and long-running event partners of the

legacy four events should be reassured that our

technical seminars will still exist as they always have,

and will continue to attract their core audiences, but

Anticipate London will cater for the future-facing

professional interested in the bigger picture too.”

While Anticipate London is based in the UK’s capital,

one of Europe’s leading Smart Cities and a metropolis

with a clear strategy for improving its green credentials;

both the audience and the topics covered will have an

international focus, with global themes represented.

Anticipate London will take place on the 2nd to the 4th

December 2024 at the ExCel in London and for the first

time will coincide with the Security and Fire Excellence

Awards, hosted at Grosvenor House, Park Lane in London

on the 2nd December 2024.
