Visionscope Technologies Karl Storz rigid borescopes are particularly robust and designed for heavy-duty industrial use. With the HOPKINS® rod lens system, they reliably deliver exceptionally clear, sharp and bright images. Borescopes essentially consist of an optical system, mechanics, and a light guide system. The double-wall sheath and the special glass endpiece at the tip render the borescope extremely resistant to damage and wear and ensure optimal protection of the telescope. Special Features: • • • • Pressure resistant up to +5 bar Metal layers to protect the optical system Resistant to oil, fuel & solvents Temperature resistant up to 150’C Tel: 01709 540131.

Croft Filters are a leading UK manufacturer of over 32 years who specialises in supplying customised filtration solutions. The Company supplies to a range of industry sectors that including: Chemical, Oil, Gas, Energy, Pharmaceutical, amongst others worldwide. Efficient antibiotic production requires high quality ammonia being used to adjust the pH of the fermentation process. However, the antibiotics manufacturer was receiving batches of ammonia of varying quality which required sterile filtering before use. Despite this precaution, the manufacturer was having to replace blocked final membrane filters on a daily basis resulting in unacceptable levels of production downtime and the high costs of replacement filters. Croft can manufacture filtration solutions in any shape or design including: basket strainers, duplex filters, cone filters, cylinder filters and screen filters in perforated plate, wedge wire and woven wire mesh.

Quality of both product and service has been the key to Croft’s success and continues to drive the company forward.
