Bulte has brought out a screw range that includes five new models of wing screws, offering more than 160 possibilities. They are suitable for all sectors of industry (for example furniture, electronics and engineering) and are ideal for manual assembly. The standard material is natural polyamide (nylon) which is resistant to various chemical products, has excellent mechanical properties - including wear resistance, low friction coefficient, high melting point and good impact resistance - and is light weight. Another advantage includes finger tightening (no tools required). The working temperature range is -30 to +100C. These screws can also be manufactured in other materials, such as PP, PE, PVDF and POM (these materials are recommended for their good food and medical qualities) or PA glass-filled (high tensile strength and rigidity - it replaces aluminium and zinc in tapped parts). The wing screws are available in sizes M5, M6, M8 and M10. Lengths vary from 6 to 80mm. The standard ...

Boge Screw Compressor Reduces Energy Costs RSL Steeper has reduced its compressed-air energy costs by 45 per cent through replacing an ageing compressor with a Boge S15 screw compressor at its manufacturing facility in Leeds. RSL Steeper is a supplier of prosthetic and orthotic patient care services in the UK. At its Leeds site, RSL manufactures a range of upper extremity prosthetic systems and components including cosmetic products, as well as mechanical and electric-powered systems from simple passive hands with silicone cosmetic gloves to multi-function Myo electric hands and powered elbows. Compressed air is used in the manufacturing process to power a number of air tools as well as a bio-reactor. The bio-reactor performs an important health and safety role in the production process. VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are generated in the manufacturing process from applications such as gluing. The bio-reactor purifies such air pollutants. The company has recently realised redu...
