The main features of these couplings are the high flow rates and the reduced pressure drops. Another characteristic of this series is that no tool is required to connect the two half-couplings, as the sleeves are equipped with two wings that facilitate their manual screwing and possibly the use of a hammer, since the connection is allowed with residual pressure. Aluminium caps are also available to protect the connection threads and, for some sizes, there are also API 16D (BOP type) approved versions. t | +39 039 877451 e | info@dnp.it w | www.dnp.it VFH1: THE REVOLUTIONARY SCREW COUPLINGS FREUDENBERG SEALING TECHNOLOGIES has announced it has developed a broad portfolio of Simmerring radial shaft seals to meet the diverse challenges of the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. This includes various product families in different materials that meet the industry specific legal requirements. The company says the original Simmerring serves as a flexible and highly durable solution for sealing drive shafts. There are special designs made of elastomer materials for use in the process industry, such as 75 Fluoroprene XP 45, 70 E PDM 291 or 70 NBR 335. These have been sp ecially developed for contact with foods and pharmaceuticals and are also certified in accordance with industry- and country-specific standards. The Simmerring product family consists of different designs for the process industry: BAUM as a friction-optimised standard design with a rubberised outer sleeve, BAUMSL with a protective lip for heavily contaminated environments, and BAC as a partially or fully encapsulated radial shaft seal for increased hygiene requirements. The Simmerring offers many advantages, such as high resistance to media, good adaptability to customer-specific requirements, and the availability of numerous tools in standard dimensions.

Developed specifically for applications with limited radial loads and where a long stroke is not required, the versatile, lightweight Series QL’s compact design enables it to be used in confined spaces in applications ranging from light packaging or assembly duties, through to demanding handling requirements such as woodworking. Available in bores: 12, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50 mm, the cylinders’ lightweight aluminium construction provides an opportunity to reduce energy consumption, when used on moving parts. t | 024 7637 4114 e | askus@camozzi.co.uk w | https://store.camozzi.co.uk REDUCING LENGTH WITHOUT COMPROMISING STRENGTH The HYDROSCAND team came to the rescue, when a Liebherr 984 needed a hose very quickly as a boom had snapped in the middle. This was sent away for major repair as it couldn’t be repaired on site. Paul Johnston, branch manager at Widnes said: “W hen the repair was completed it came back without any hose on it. So, all eyes were on Hydroscand to do the job well and quickly. The hose was required the very next day. As almost 60 metres of 1 1 ⁄ 2 ” 420 bar hose was required for this job, we contacted Nigel Townsend, product/purchasing manager at head office, who organised a same day delivery of the hose. So, the hose was here by 6pm the same day which was fantastic.” w | www.hydroscand.co.uk MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE CUSTOMER HYDRAFORCE HYDRAULICS, a manufacturer of high-performance hydraulic valves and manifold systems based in Birmingham’s Advanced Manufacturing Hub, has appointed Jon Bradley as its new managing director.
