A BABCOCK WANSON BWD40 Fire Tube Boiler has been installed in the Real Petfood Company’s manufacturing facility in Bodelwyddan, north east Wales, where it is being used to heat retort cookers and mixing vessels for high quality baked semi-moist pet treats and super premium biscuit products. The company’s success in this sector has resulted in the development of a new site to expand operations. Babcock Wanson says its BWD40 Fire Tube Boiler was chosen as the process heat source for this new site due to its high efficiency, long life and low cost maintenance. Efficiency comes as a result of the optimised matching of the boiler shell and the burner, along with advanced burner head geometry which provides stable combustion with near constant efficiency throughout the complete burner modulating range. t | 020 8953 7111 e | info@babcock-wanson.com w | www.babcock-wanson.com JSP says its DigiHUB is an exciting, innovative new platform that allows you to safely explore, learn and share the core range of JSP products with customers and supply them with all the technical information they need to select JSP with confidence as their trusted PPE provider.

The Finish Thompson ULTRAChem (UC) Series of Tefzel (ETFE) lined centrifugal pumps represent a good example of well-engineered and durable leak-free pumps and following recent modifications there are new options resulting in extended capabilities. Available from MICHAEL SMITH ENGINEERS the UC Series of pumps now includes the UC436L model, which features smaller impeller trims to allow for lower flows and heads and the UC3210 model which has been up-rated for 2-pole motors. The new 2-pole motor option operates at a higher rotation speed than the existing model and enables the pump to generate higher flows at higher heads.
