Konecranes relaunches belt hoists for clean environments
Lifting equipment specialist , Konecranes , has upgraded and relaunched its popular range of belt hoists . The models feature lubrication-free polyester lifting belts , making them suitable for operation in environments where hygiene is a critical factor . The hoists are ideal solutions for food and pharmaceutical industries , as well as electronic and electrical assembly applications , or any workplace where cleanliness is a critical factor . The belts are also resistant to acids , bases , mineral salts , solvents and oil . The range includes 13 models with SWLs from 500 kg to 2000 kg . Depending on SWL , belt hoists are offered with lifting speeds from 5 / 0.8 m / min to 20 / 3.3 m / min , using a two-speed contactor control . The variable lifting speeds , facilitate slow movement for accurate load positioning , with high-speed lifting for operational efficiency . The low headroom design and small C-dimension , together with compact hoist size , maximise available workspace providing a height of lift of up to 9 m .

Advances in Surface Finishing Large Components and 3D Printed Metal Parts
Featuring on the Fintek stand 19-26 , at Mach 2022 , is the automation of the surface finishing of larger components and new electrochemical processes for the removal of support structures and finishing of internal and external surfaces of additively manufactured parts . “ There have been major advances in surface finishing for traditionally engineered parts and metal 3D printed components . From OTEC Präzisionsfinish we have the new SF-HP that automates high-energy stream finishing of workpieces up to 650mm diameter and 650mm long , weighing up to 200kg . From RENA Technologies , we have the Hirtisation ® process that solves one of additive manufacturing ’ s major hinderances – the cost effective and efficient removal of support structures , residues and the smoothing of difficult internal surfaces ,” said MD , Jonathan Dean .
