HI-LINE INDUSTRIES, a UK-based leader in the design, manufacture and installation of energy-efficient compressed air purification equipment, has announced it has established a new Technical Division that further elevates the level of support available to its valued nationwide distribution network. With highly qualified and accredited technicians, Hi-line’s Technical Division uses an unbranded fleet of vehicles whenever the need arises to provide support for a third party. As an ISO9001-accredited UK manufacturer of class-leading air filters, adsorption dryers and air treatment ancillaries, Hi-line says it is a major supplier to the compressed air industry. One of Britain’s largest stockists and a proud member of the ‘Made in Britain’ campaign, the company has a responsibility to support its extensive distribution network, which includes compressed air service companies, compressor OEMs and local industrial suppliers/agents. Hi-line says its new Technical Division employs only experienced compressed air treatment service personnel, with engineers trained in all aspects of compressed air and gas generation. Every technician is ACRIB (Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Board) registered and an approved ‘safe refrigerant handler’ in accordance with REFCOM (Register of Companies Competent to Handle Refrigerants). The company is also affiliated to BCAS (British Compressed Air Society) and works in association with DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs). To support its broad portfolio of class-leading solutions for the compressed air industry, Hi-line’s Technical Division offers an extensive list of services. The servicing of compressed air dryers made by Hi-line and other manufacturers (refrigeration and desiccant models) is clearly a core activity - involving tasks such as filter element replacement, desiccant changes and condensate separator maintenance - but the company says there is plenty more to its new service offer. t| 01283 533377 e| enquiries@hilineindustries.com w| www.hilineindustries.com Lifting equipment specialist, KONECRANES, has announced it has launched its range of EX Cseries electric chain hoists, engineered for explosion proof lifting in hazardous environments. The models are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications where gases, flammable substances, dust and other ignition sources create the potential for explosions. The EX C-series electric chain hoist has been designed and tested specifically to fulfil ATEX and IECEx requirements for use in Zone 1, 2 and 21 explosive environments. EX C hoists offer inherently safe workplace operation. In addition to their explosion proof characteristics the models feature a slipping clutch which activates automatically providing protection in the event of an overload. They also incorporate a travelling limit switch and geared hoisting switch. Ingress protection is rated at IP66. Ergonomics, operational efficiency, versatility and ease of use have been the driving factors in the development of the hoists. The compact design and low headroom allow maximum use of available workspace. Inverter controlled trolley movement and 2-step hoisting facilitate smooth and accurate load handling with a lifting ratio of 6:1 for operational efficiency. EX C models are available with SWLs from 320 kg to 2,500 kg. As standard the ambient operating temperature is +5° C to 40° C with - 20° C to 55° C available to order. A comprehensive range of options and accessories may be supplied allowing hoists to be tailored to specific applications. Smart engineering techniques have been employed in the manufacture of the EX C-series with the use of Konecranes ‘Core of Lifting’ components, including a purposebuilt motor, gearbox and controls. t| 01295 676100 e| sales.uk@konecranes.com w| www.konecranes.co.uk Industry Update 18 | Plant & Works Engineering www.pwemag.co.uk August/September 2024 Condition monitoring and machinery protection specialist SENSONICS has added another free downloadable guide onto its website, Specifying Overspeed Protection Systems. This resource is drawn from over 50 years of industry leading experience and represents a must-read for professionals involved in power generation system design. Reliable and proven overspeed protection is a key requirement in the power generation industry, among others, where failure of the machine speed control loop can lead to damaging consequences. The implementation of independent monitoring and shutdown protection is essential to minimise the risks to steam and gas turbines and boiler feeds.
