28 | Plant & Works Engineering www.pwemag.co.uk Annual Buyers’ Guide 2022 BCN3D, a leading 3D printing solutions manufacturer, has announced it has launched its Metal Pack - containing Ultrafuse Metal Filaments from Forward AM - for its line of Epsilon Series 3D printers. The company says the development allows its customer base to easily upgrade their hardware to catch up with the latest developments and affordably produce solid metal parts. The upgrade opens up a new range of applications for BCN3D customers, especially for spare parts, functional prototyping, and tooling, and is mainly aimed at the pharmaceutical, food, automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing sectors. The parts produced by this process have practically identical behaviour to those produced by MIM or CNC and offer an office-friendly solution with far more design freedom. The Metal Pack includes both Ultrafuse 316L and 17-4 PH, and a new exclusive hotend for metal. w | www.bcn3d.com SICK says it has reimagined the industrial light stack as a versatile and customisable Smart Light Tower that can be easily set up with a wide range of parameters to communicate the real-time operational and maintenance status of machinery. SICK says its Smart Light Tower exploits the benefits of IO-Link so that both machine builders and end users can easily program real-time displays and audible signals to support wide-ranging operational, maintenance, and management goals. The SICK Smart Light Tower can be easily installed via a single cable and an IO-Link Master, and programmed through an intuitive graphical interface with a standard PC. The SICK Smart Light Tower uses three operating modes: signal light, level meter, or animation to communicate the run status of machines and alert operating personnel to maintenance tasks or emergency conditions. t | 01727 831121 e | andrea.hornby@sick.co.uk The production of breathing air is one of the most sensitive tasks in medical and industrial applications. It is essential to supply employees with clean breathing air that complies with the requirements of DIN EN 12021 and DIN EN ISO 7396-1 and the quality standard of the European Pharmacopoeia. DONALDSON says it was a complex task to develop a breathing air system that could be used equally flexibly for different areas of application and that reliably ensured the supply of breathing air in accordance with this high-quality standard while requiring little space. Building on the experience gained in the use of the modular, heatless, plug & work, compressed air purification system Ultrapac Smart, Donaldson developed the Ultrapure Smart breathing air system, which sets a new standard through its compact design and easy access to all components. w | www.donaldson.com TE-TECH PROCESS SOLUTIONS has announced a strategic partnership with Spanish IT developer Createch360 to provide intelligent control solutions to key clients within the UK water industry. CREA is an operational intelligence platform that allows management and optimisation of integral wastewater treatment processes using real-time data monitoring of key process parameters. CREA provides intelligent decision support, multiple control strategies and automatic reporting on key data analytics and achieves quality consent limits with reduced operational costs and enhanced reliability. The software incorporates classical mathematical models, fuzzy logic, pattern recognition, machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms to analyse real-time data and provide control strategies and decision support dashboards. Key wastewater treatment applications such as; aerobic and anaerobic processes, nutrient removal, Anammox, sludge digestion and dewatering, can all be optimised from the platform. e | enquiries@te-tech.co.uk w | www.te-tech.co.uk/ Safe breathing air supply Process, Controls & Plant Smart Light Tower Bringing AI to the water industry Stainless steel printing
