and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Waterjet systems suit nuclear applications from
KMT Waterjet Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "The ultra-high-pressure water cutting technique reduces water consumption considerably".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Lubricant eases cutting and printing from
Interflon: "Interflon Slide Wax is formulated with Teflon and other high-performance resins for extraordinary lubricity, adhesion, toughness and low-friction".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Interflon
concerning its Interflon Slide Spray lubricant
- take a look at Lubricant suits conveyors and slide ways
which says: "Interflon Slide Spray provides a highly durable, nongreasy lubrication film that enables goods to be conveyed with considerably less resistance and force".
Take a look also at the news release from Wanner Engineering, Seal-less pumps raise mining machine reliability,
as well as Workers celebrate health and safety milestone from Saint-Gobain Abrasives,
and Specifying roller chain in the cement industry from Tsubakimoto UK.
