The company has now applied this extensive expertise to develop its OX1 range of fittings and accessories for the life science market. The OX1 range includes fittings suited to medical gas applications, including medical and analytical equipment. The range adheres to the strict hygiene demands of components used in critical applications and during production is ultrasonic cleaned, inspected with UV black light, lubricated with a special oxygen compatible grease and uses materials that are fully compatible with oxygen. t | 024 7637 4114 e | askus@camozzi.co.uk w | www.camozzi.co.uk MEETING STRINGENT DEMANDS VERT TECHNOLOGIES says its new A200 Compressor provides class-leading low noise compressed air at 100% duty for continuous operation and offering 11bar pressure and 200lpm flow, the compressors’ impressively low noise and vibration levels means it can be sited close to the point of use with minimal impact on those working nearby. Simple to install, the A200 connects to a standard power socket with quick coupling of the compressed air connection. Featuring an intuitive control panel, the A200 is easy to operate and its compact dimensions ensure ease of portability and positioning.

INDUSTRIALE has created a range of accessories to facilitate the use when connecting hydraulic lines, the COLOR CODE. This is a coloured ring designed to easily identify the correspondence of the colours and consequently of the lines to be connected. Available for DN ISO 12.5 and ISO 20, they are easy to assemble and are available for several types of couplings, from the PAV1 to the PPV3 and PKK3 series, the latter is equipped with a decompression system that allows the connection in the presence of residual pressure. t | +39 039 877451 e | info@dnp.it w | www.dnp.it PAV1 WITH COLOR CODE sales@appliedpumps.co.uk In order to ensure that process plants meet hygiene requirements, industry-specific approvals and resistance to CIP/SIP media, FREUDENBERG SEALING TECHNOLOGIES has developed a new series of high-performance seals for butterfly valves. The company says the seals have been developed in conjunction with French customer Definox, one of the leading manufacturers of first class process valves and stainless steel equipment for high-end applications in sectors such as food, beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and animal feed. Freudenberg says following rigorous tests, 70 EPDM 291 O- rings have already been delivered to Definox, where they have been successfully deployed and demonstrated and based on this first success, both companies decided to launch a project for the development of new butterfly seals. Developing the new seals saw the two companies draw up a list of technical targets, which included simple installation, uncompromising tightness, wear- resistant materials and sealing geometry free of dead space. With the concept finalised, the development team at Freudenberg Sealing Technologies set to work. As part of an initial phase, Freudenberg performed extensive validation testing of the new valve seal on its in-house test bench. Seals in three reference dimensions were tested in Definox butterfly valves under operating conditions similar to reality. Results from the long-term tests could then be transferred to other seal dimensions. t | 01332 524422 e | fst-food-beverage@dichtomatik.co.uk w | https://foodandbeverage.fst.com/en www.fst.com HIGH-PERFORMANCE SEALS FOR BUTTERFLY VALVES
