LoSi Caproni Range Continues to Expand The LoSi Group are pleased to report its continued expansion of its Caproni product range. Offering an extensive range of gear pumps and motors rated up to 250 bar, with integrated valve options available. The Caproni product range also includes: • Cartridge style control valves • Lever operated sectional directional control valves • Solenoid operated directional control valves • Integral steering solutions for agricultural tractors Certified to ISO 9001 since 1996 Caproni manufactures in Europe to European standards For further information please visit www.losiuk.co.uk SPOTLIGHT The image shows two sets of ultra-high working pressure (UHP) couplings, in particular 100 MPa for the PCJ5 series and 150 MPa for the PCJ6 series. DNP says they are interchangeable with their respective competitor’s series (Cejn) 115 and 116. With internal and external standard NPT and BSP connection threads, they can also be produced with 37 ° (SAE) or 100 ° (BSP) metal sealing threads upon request. These couplings have been produced in a single size, DN ISO 6.3, therefore the products are suitable in applications where an ultra-high working pressure is required. t | +39 039 877451 e | info@dnp.it w | www.dnp.it PCJ5 – PCJ6 SICK says as manufacturers face rising energy bills, it has launched the FTMg with Monitoring App, an Industry 4.0 solution that can help them see the data they need to reduce energy consumption through better control of compressed air. SICK says the FTMg with Monitoring App enables production and maintenance teams to monitor compressed air continuously so they can reduce leaks, improve operating efficiency, and cut costs. Compressed air is the ‘fourth utility’ of manufacturing. According to the British Compressed Air Society, it accounts for 10% of energy use in a typical operation and rises to 30% in heavy use industries. w: www.sick.co.uk ENERGY MONITORING OF COMPRESSED AIR sales@appliedpumps.co.uk PCJ5 SPOTLIGHT COAX VALVES UK has announced it has introduced the new FMX range of compact, high flow, stainless steel externally controlled valves.
