An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Autotech supplies control systems for distillers from Autotech Controls, which we summarised at the time by saying "Chivas Brothers has invested in a refurbishment of its conveying, palletising, shrink wrapping, storage and dispatch systems at Kilmalid. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Spirax heating reduces energy use in hospital from Spirax Sarco: "Spirax Sarco has supplied energy-saving heating and hot-water systems for Kettering General Hospital. ".

In October 2009, we covered the news from LMS International - take a look at LMS to hold vehicle energy management master class which says: "LMS has announced that it will hold a vehicle energy management master class on 10-12 November at its US headquarters in Troy, Michigan.".

Take a look also at the news release from Elta Fans, Fastlane publishes heat recovery brochure, as well as Emerson unveils wireless conductivity transmitter from Emerson Process Management, and FTL supplies Elringklinger PTFE seals from FTL Seals Technology.
