Bluemay of the UK have been manufacturing nylon-threaded rod and Buffalo nylon bolts since 1973. Made of nylon 66, the rods and bolts have a high tensile strength, are corrosion resistant, and offer the least heat conductivity in all forms of insulated structures. For extra strength, the Buffalo Insudiscs provides for use with steel washers and nuts without any compromise on insulating properties or vapour sealing.
Time to network Many exhibitors used the three days of Chillventa to host product launches, press conferences, dinners and social functions
where international visitors could network and update on emerging trends.
Refrigerating Specialties, now trading as R / S Parker, celebrated its 100th anniversary at a dinner for its international distributors. At the dinner, Jack Agencies of Cape Town was honoured with a plaque in recognition of being a RS distributor for 30 years.
The Witt dinner had more than 60 guests from around the globe.
Many South Africans also attended the Bitzer customer evening on the Tuesday. The venue was overflowing with people from all over the world and an impressive laser show kicked things off, followed by food from across the world at six different‘ stations’.
