More new fume extraction
systems meeting latest HSE
welding requirements ESAB launches first portable wire
feeder with ip44 protection class
rating for extreme durability New antimicrobial-coated access
control devices kill 99.9 per cent
of prevalent bacteria
New from Wilkinson Star, one the of the UK’s
largest independent distributors of Welding
and Industrial Equipment, is the F-Tech Fume
technology product range of high vacuum fume
extraction systems and welding torches.
Welders and operatives can be exposed to
welding fumes, grinding dust and oil mist in the
working environment. It is therefore obligatory
for employers to create safe and healthy working
conditions for operatives by reducing these
health risks. The F-Tech Armur is a high vacuum
dust extraction system offering a mobile solution
to extract dust from manual welding and
grinding processes. The Armur unit features a
high performance German motor and a choice
of 3 mtr suction Armoflex or Armotech cantilever
arm and a user friendly digital panel with hour
meter, clogged filter alarm. ESAB Welding & Cutting Products today
introduced the Robust Feed Pro portable wire
feeder, the first product in its category with
an IP44 protection class rating, which means
it is protected against water splashes from all
directions, as well as solid objects larger than 1
mm. The completely-sealed Robust Feed Pro has
a double-wall design with special impact zones
made from a more flexible material to absorb
more impact energy. Contamination of clean environments could
soon become a thing of the past, as Remsdaq
launches its EntroPad range of access control
readers, keypads and request to exit buttons
with antimicrobial protection built in.
Third party testing to ISO 22196:2011 proves
the integral antimicrobial protection on the new
EntroPad devices kills up to 99.99% of E. coli and
Staphylococcus aureus bacteria over a 24-hour
period. This makes the EntroPad range ideal
for use in access-controlled areas in hospitals,
laboratories, surgeries, food manufacturing &
preparation companies.

All controls, power and gas connections are
inside the case with a dedicated service cover,
providing easy access to the electronics. “The
Robust Feed Pro is the only feeder on the market
that you can leave outside in a heavy rain. A heat
kit inside the units wards off condensation and
keeps the wire dry,” says Arne Lagerkvist, Global
Product Manager, Heavy Industry Welding
Equipment, ESAB Welding and Cutting Products.

Robin Koffler, sales and marketing director at
Remsdaq says: “Without antimicrobial protection,
access control devices can become a breeding
ground for a wide range of highly infectious
bacteria.
