‘Vacuum Casting’

A Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Motorless fan for extraction and conveying from Secomak, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Beckair Pneu-Power is a bladeless, motorless fan. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Brownell has High Flow Performance Relief Valves from Brownell: "Brownell has introduced a range of Ultra High Flow Performance Relief Valves with standard sizes of 25 to 200mm. ".
 
In November 2008, we covered the news from RDP Electronics - take a look at Manufacturing process minimises transducer damage which says: "RDP Electronics has developed special expertise when designing transducers for applications in vacuum to ensure both survival of the device and the avoidance of contamination of the vacuum. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Corus Northern Engineering Services, Corus upgrades vertical billet plant caster, as well as Niton has detector for alloy analysers from Niton UK, and Welding electrodes used straight from the pack from ESAB.
