Products SILENT POWER can be retrofitted into axial fan installations that may require greater static pressure. They are available in various speed options and six case sizes with diameters ranging from 400 to 710mm (250 to 450mm impeller diameters). The duct mounted applications are suitable in commercial and industrial supply or exhaust air applications such as shopping centres, office buildings, exhibition centres, hotels, health centres, schools and universities. The Vortair Series of In-Line Fans from Elta Group Africa are designed for a wide range of duct mounted applications. Their innovative high-performance mixed flow impeller produces powerful airflows without generating high noise levels. They feature a heavy-duty galvanised steel circular fan casing that Product features: • Innovative mixed flow impeller with high performance blade geometry. • Heavy duty galvanised steel construction. • Can be retrofitted into standard 400 to 710mm axial fan installations. • Large choice of speeds available. • It can be mounted in any position. • A range of matched ancillaries are also available.

This new thermal camera is the first to feature onboard Inspection Route software, ideal for streamlining inspections of critical assets, including manufacturing equipment, or facility electrical and mechanical systems. By running a pre-planned route through the camera, thermal inspectors can spend less time in the field and face less hassle when creating survey reports. The thermal camera includes advanced measurement tools such as one-touch level/ span and laser-assisted autofocus, which helps users quickly find problems and make critical decisions. It also features an onboard routing system that works with the FLIR Thermal Studio advanced reporting software to create numbered, labelled inspection routes that users can create from the camera. This system allows users to record temperature data, thermal, and visual imagery in a logical sequence for faster troubleshooting and repair. For more information, contact +27 (0) 11 300 5622. COUPLED SETTINGS Available in a variety of configurations, SKF’s range of Disc Couplings provide affordable, lubrication-free service in medium to high torque applications that require torsional rigidity.
