The build-up of materials in bulk storage systems is a common bulk materials handling issue. Air Cannons are pressure vessels with attached valve mechanisms that blast air at high-velocity speeds approaching MACH 2. They are frequently used to dislodge bulk material build-up and allow for maximum storage capacity. ESS Engineering Services & Supplies have developed … Continue reading Why ESS’s new Air Cannon systems are a real blast →

Hydraulic systems can be found in almost every aspect of life. Yet, based on statistical results, many people, including those working directly in the hydraulic field are unaware of the severity of hazards resulting from wrong handling procedures. Bestech present two cases in this whitepaper, showing a pressing need to educate staff, workers and professionals … Continue reading Hydraulics the unknown killer: Proper training is the key to reducing injuries and fatalities →

Blasting expert Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific entered 2018 with a renewed focus on practical explosive technology.

Pressure transmitters used to measure pressure in gases, vapours and liquids are an essential component of many industrial processes. These transmitters are often used to warn engineers of drastic changes in pressure, identifying issues before they can become serious problems.

According to PR Newswire’s Global Rugged Tablet Market – Forecasts from 2017 to 2022 report, there is increasing uptake of mobile technologies by industry.

This white paper discusses how an integration of two automation concepts in the process technology market could provide companies with an ideal solution.
