Machining Riello introduces low NOx versions to popular RS series Riello has introduced low NOx (<80mg/kWh) ‘blue flame’ versions to all sizes of its RS range of burners. This is achieved through the use of a low NOx combustion head to ensure emissions conforming to EN 676 Class 3 in capacities from 3,600 kW to 6,250 kW. The RS series of high-power monoblock burners is characterised by the advanced technological developments that have contributed to its design and energy-efficient performance, delivering high power levels whilst minimising size and weight. Dual fuel RLS low NOx models will soon also be available, featuring a dedicated pump motor to ensure a long life for the oil pump, combined with energy-savings. RS models 310, 410, 510 and 610 are available in various air-fuel ratio control configurations, with the option of mechanical cam or electronic cam for modulation control. Variable speed drive technology ensures both low noise and electrical power savings. Easy access to internal components through a hinged panel facilitates speed of commissioning and maintenance. Suez launch breakthrough Ice Pigging Machine for food & FMCG processing sector Suez Advanced Solutions are launching the world’s first hygienic Ice Pigging machine, the AQL500, suitable for applications in the food and Fast-Moving Consumer Goods sectors. Ice Pigging is a new process for clearing pipes that uses slush ice instead of water, a common method of purging product from pipes in food processing. Slush ice has unique rheological properties that means it can pass through variations in pipe work such as valves, bends and changes in diameter without becoming stuck in the pipe, yet has highly effective cleaning properties similar to a solid ‘pig’ when in the pipe. The launch of the AQL500 factory-ready hygienic Ice Pigging machine comes as a result of 5 years of development and is now available across Europe. The machine is designed for permanent installation into a production facility where it will provide ‘ice pigs’ on an automated basis. www.rielloburners.co.uk www.ice-pigging.com Roll grinding machine receives elastic bearing from Getzner Put down the pickling paste. Safety first with Inverter Fusion’s Fusion Clean To ensure the precision of an industrial grinding machine weighing 170 metric tons at the Cernaybased company Valmet, Getzner Werkstoffe installed a vibration protection solution in 2015. The elastic Sylodyn® bearings protect the machine from vibrations to preserve the accuracy of its precision work while reducing maintenance needs at the same time. In order that the new precision grinding machine at the service centre of the technology provider Valmet in Cernay can be operated with long-term reliability, it was fitted with a vibration protection solution from Getzner in 2015. At 17 metres long and roughly five metres wide, the industrial grinding machine is used to renew the surface of metal rollers, such as those found in the paper and cardboard industry. The 170 metric ton unit rests on point bearings of Sylodyn® NE to protect it against shocks and vibrations. Developed and manufactured by Getzner itself, the material effectively reduces the transfer of vibrations, allowing the machine to deliver results with the utmost precision while reducing maintenance costs at the same time.

Although it is used widely, the dangers involved are often overlooked. Inverter Fusion’s new Fusion Clean machine is a high-quality, electrolytic cleaner which is not only much safer, but is also far more convenient: the results are instantaneous, and the finish is excellent. And since it avoids the use of harsh toxic chemicals with their attendant storage, handling and disposal problems, the Fusion Clean machine also saves time and money. Lightweight, portable and operator friendly, Fusion Clean is available in 240v and 110v versions and is housed in a sturdy toughened nylon case for protection, with fan cooling to achieve 100% duty cycles.
