AUMA completes Thames
Water refurbishment in
record time
AUMA UK has completed a major actuator
refurbishment programme at Thames Water’s
Ashford Common advanced water treatment works. The upgrade project
involved refurbishing 130 electric actuators and installing 30 new units
over a nine week period, whilst keeping the site fully operational.
Commenting on the achievement, AUMA UK Managing Director Paul
Hopkins said:
The specification brochures include four pages of product samples
demonstrating the extensive ranges of RAL colours and finishes available.
The Spectra range from Thermaset is new to the market and is a collection
of diverse finishes which are an exciting alternative to standard RAL and
BS colours.
“The ability to renovate a 22 year old actuator is testament to the
modular design and high quality construction of the AUMA product.
The simple single plug and socket arrangement of the AUMA actuator
means minimum downtime during actuator replacement and avoids any
possibility of introducing field wiring errors.”

New development:
Active fixed caliper
brake
Hydro International Launches
Watertight Pollution
Containment Valve
The brake specialists of KTR have
developed an active fixed caliper brake
whose pads can easily be replaced in assembled condition. On request
the system can be designed with an automatic air gap regulation. The
new series of the KTR-STOP® line generates clamping forces up to 203 kN
and can be used in the low temperature range up to -40 °C. KTR is going
to present the brake system at the HUSUM Wind (hall 5, booth C04) for
the first time.
The industry’s only completely watertight pollution
containment valve, the Hydro-Isolator®, is now available
from Hydro International, supported by a full design,
commissioning and maintenance service.
At present the new series is available in the sizes KTR-STOP® S-D and
KTRSTOP® M-D. With a weight of 68 or 76 kg the compactly designed
highperformance brakes generate maximum clamping forces of 141 or
203 kN. The series is completely made from steel and can be used in the
low temperature range of up to -40 °C.

Nationwide, there are already more than 150 installations of
this valve design installed in the UK, helping facility owners
prevent damaging surface water pollution incidents. The
Hydro-Isolator® valve was invented by David Cole, Hydro
International’s water pollution manager. He states:
“The Hydro-Isolator® is a watertight and failsafe valve for
pollution, flood water or spill containment and the only valve
we would recommend for organisations obliged to comply with UK environmental
protection regulations, according to the CIRIA 736 industry standard guidance.
