‘Pressure Switch’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Riley to distribute pressure-fed shot blasting from Riley Industries, which we summarised at the time by saying "Riley Surface World has announced an agreement with Contracor to distribute its range of pressure-fed shot blasting systems in the UK. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Liquid pumps designed for oil, water and chemicals from Autoclave Engineers: "Autoclave Engineers has designed a group of air-driven, positive-displacement, high-pressure liquid pumps for service with oil, water and chemicals. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from SICK (UK) - take a look at SICK to exhibit at manufacturing technology event which says: "SICK will use the upcoming Manufacturing Technology Scotland event on 11-12 November, which is to be held at the SECC in Glasgow, to further publicise its Industrial Instrumentation Division.".

Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK, Nitrogen generators cut costs of food packaging, as well as Kistler offers sensitive and robust torque sensors from Kistler Instruments, and DS refrigerant dryers reduce energy consumption from Boge Compressors.
