In a warning condition, the yellow lights will flash and the lights in three windows will chase.

In a danger condition, the red LED’s will flash and the lights in all three windows will chase.

Added to this, the ToxiPro has a 10% louder audible alarm than previous models and features customisable sound pattern and set points.

It also comes standard with a vibrating alarm. Sperian’s alarm is also fully waterproof and hard wearing.

The Biosystems ToxiPro is also IQ dock compatible allowing simple and automatic bump testing and calibration of instruments as well as the downloading of data.

Isuzu Trucks has recently announced the introduction of the NLS 200 all wheel drive to its range.

The NLS 200 is an entry level model to Isuzu’s off highway capable line-up, which the company says provides drivers with a versatile light truck that performs well both on and off the road and it will most likely see service in mines as a communications vehicle.

Featuring manual locking front hubs and a limited slip differential in the rear axle, the NLS 200 is designed to provide users with a more secure driveline connection when increased traction is needed.

According to Isuzu, the NLS 200’s 205/85R16 G557 lug tyres are designed to add to the safety and level of grip available to the driver and to improve the vehicle’s abilities both on and off-road performance.

The NLS 200 uses of a single speed transfer case incorporating a viscous coupling drive to the front wheels, which Isuzu says enables the driver to add front-wheel drive to the equation via a convenient dashboard mounted switch, once the locking front hubs have been engaged.

The truck is rated at a maximum GVM of 4,500 kg.

Sullair Australia has supplied infrastructure service provider Jemena with a fleet of Vanair Underdeck compressors.

The compressors were fitted Jemena’s fleet of Isuzu 400 pantech service repair trucks underneath the chassis to save space.

According to Sullair, the units supplied were rated at 60 to 80 cfm at a delivery pressure of 100 to 150 psi.

The Vanair ranges of abovedeck and underdeck vehicle-mounted compressor systems are available with capacities from 60 to 200 cfm.

The company says the units can be retro-fitted to a wide range of commercial vehicles.

The units can be driven via a power take-off (PTO), either from the vehicle driveshaft or hydraulically from the gearbox of the host vehicle.

CAC Gas & Instrumentation has released the 112 litre calibration gas cylinder.

The non refillable cylinder provides gas for instrument calibration and function/bump test applications for mining, laboratory and process applications.

The cylinder provides double the volume of the 58 litre cylinder with no increase in cylinder size.

The 112 litre also uses the same regulator system.

The larger capacity cylinder provides service technicians with more gas in each cylinder, reducing the number of cylinders they need to carry for field work.

The 112 litre cylinder is available in all gas concentrations including 4gas mixtures, single gases such as CL2, H2S, HCL, HCN, NH3, NO2, PH3 and many others.

The gases are used in coal mining instrument calibration, mineral processing and confined space monitoring.

The cylinders are compatible with all standard fixed flow or demand flow regulators.

Continental Conveyor Products is supplying a range of conveyors and conveyor technology with capacities up to 6500 tonnes per hour.

The conveyors come with drive powers exceeding three megawatts and lengths of nine kilometres.

According to the company, the design begins with an assessment of the site to identify maintenance and possible break down activities.

Once these maintenance activities have been identified, Continental designs plans that will ensure they can be carried out safely with minimal interruption to operations.

Continental believes that the best outcomes occur when maintenance and operating staff are involved in the design process.

Continental Conveyor Products is distributed in Australia by P&H MinePro Services Australasia.

AMS Calibration has released the NOSHOK 400 series of heavy duty mechanical pressure switches.

Designed for use across a range of applications such as hydraulic and pneumatic systems, pumps and compressors and in power generation, the switches provide a stable switching point setting.

The 400 series switch converts pneumatic and hydraulic pressure into switching functions and is designed for applications that require accuracy under high loads.

The switching point is fully adjustable through an adjustment knob with the adjustment range, and includes a locking mechanism.

AMS Calibration’s switch is SPDT, and can be normally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C.) depending on the wiring.

The 400 Series Switch is fitted with DIN EN 175301-803 Form A connectors for fast and easy installation.

It is also available with an LED indicator on the plug for visual monitoring of the switch status, or an M12 x 1 (4-pin) electrical connection.

The switch features a repeatability of ±2% of full scale, 360° rotatable male connections, high loadability (shock 30g, vibration 10 g) and Hirschmann (DIN EN 175301-803 Form A) with optional 36″ cable.

Atlas Copco has released a new generation of handheld hydraulic breakers with improved vibration characteristics.

On the breakers spring-mounted handles vibration characteristics have been improved by suspending the heavy weight handle in a dampened pivot pin, which decreases the vibration emissions.

Atlas Copco stated that while vibro-reduction is typically achieved by reducing performance, the breakers have remained at the same level of high performance.

With the handheld hydraulic breakers having just two moving parts it creates minimal wear and results in fewer parts to service as moving parts are running in oil.

As the handheld hydraulic breakers work in a closed loop dirt and moisture is kept out.

Atlas Copco´s portable power packs or the hydraulic outlet on any excavator, backhoe or like, are the power sources for handheld hydraulic breakers.

All breakers are developed for concrete, asphalt and frozen ground applications, as well as for trenching, tie-tamping, spike driving and general demolition jobs.

BOGE Compressors has released the AIReport, a compressed air auditing system, which can simultaneously analyse up to 12 compressors.

The system uses the data to identify where compressed air savings can be made, leading to an optimised compressed air system and reduced energy costs.

Running an energy efficient compressed air system is one way to reduce operating costs down, the company says.

This can be achieved by fixing air leaks, adapting compressed air demand to changes in manufacturing or production patterns and upgrading to energy efficient technologies, such as a frequency controlled screw compressors.

Assessing your existing compressed air system is the first step to reduce waste.

Up to 12 compressors can be logged simultaneously, allowing the evaluation of entire compressor stations.

Pressure dew point, flow rate and net pressure profile data can be viewed graphically. aa
