Editors Choice TME LAUNCH RADICAL NEW LEGIONELLA RISK MANAGEMENT PROBE KS20-S SAVE OVER 55% ON ENERGY IN PLASTICS EXTRUSION INDUSTRY BluVac units from Speck ABC UK Ltd reduce energy consumption by controlling vacuum required by the process. The highest energy saving is reached using optimised calibration tools with minimal air leakage. 67% savings have been achieved in tests. Sensors continuously measure pressure levels in the system and water levels in the separator tanks. From this data; the Controller automatically adjusts the speed of both vacuum and water pumps. Speck ABC UK Ltd are also the SOLE UK distributor for Speck liquid-ring vacuum, side-channel, regenerative turbine, hot oil and centrifugal pumps.

MD, Tom Sensier: “Temperature probes for combined surface and immersion measurements must balance competing requirements for strength, even surface contact and quick response. The KS20-S delivers a better result on all three fronts.” Conventional surface probes feature a thin steel or copper band at the tip. A thermocouple is welded to the back of the band to react quickly to changes in temperature. Over time, when pressed, fatigue at the weld can result in the joint fracturing. But a heavier gauge band has a longer response time – problematic for ACoP L8 timed temperature tests. The KS20-S employs a radical design which uses heavy-gauge thermocouple wire, crossed and silicon back-filled for added durability and water resistance. “The KS20-S has a much stronger joint and faster result: in tests, the probe settled in stirred water at 50°C in under ten seconds.” TME specialises in legionella solutions:MM2008 Water Thermometer with integral timer; TC Wall Port remote testing for TMVs and tanks; MM7000 Barcode Thermometer for paperless spot checks.
