FEBRUARY 2018 • E&MJ; 53 www.e-mj.com EQUIPMENT GALLERY BKT's Earthmax SR 22 (G-2/L-2) is an all-steel radial tire specifi cally designed for graders and loaders operating in extreme winter conditions on ice or snow. It features excellent traction and stability due to its large, non-directional tread design, which also ensures utmost safety and increased grip on wet surfaces or snow, the company reported. SNOW TRAC for skid steers is an ideal tire for operations on snow or ice due to the special tread design that eliminates the risk of slippage, providing at the same time optimum driving comfort to the oper- ator. The Earthmax SR 42 for haul trains is engineered to provide particular resistance against cuts and wear, and to ensure safety at extremely low temperatures. www.bkt-tires.com Centrifugal Pump Range for Clean Liquids Sulzer introduced the SIL inline single stage centrifugal pump range, designed for clean liquid processes. The range is ideal for pumping mainly clean and slightly con- taminated liquids, viscous liquids up to 250 centistokes, and fi brous slurries up to a consistency of 1%. The hydraulic design en- sures effi cient pumping with a low net pos- itive suction head, the company reported. The range features an inline design and monoblock construction. The mono- block construction eliminates the need for a bearing unit. That minimizes the number of wearing parts and the need for maintenance. The optimized shaft sealing chamber and impeller balancing holes guarantee improved conditions for the shaft seal and maximize its life, the com- pany reported. The impeller, the casing and sealing chamber are designed for effi - cient hydraulics and reliable shaft sealing, ensuring high reliability, Sulzer reported. The pump is available either with an integrated motor or with a standard IEC motor. The SIL pump exceeds the Euro- pean Union's requirements for energy-re- lated products, the company reported. www.sulzer.com Drum-Handling Line Can Double Stack Liftomatic Material Handling introduced the Ergo-Matic line of portable drum han- dling equipment. The line comprises a range of models and features for repetitive applications. The product family is fully modular and designed for effi cient manual handling of a single drum. It features high- lift capability up to 36 in. to double-stack drums, spark-resistant components for fl ammable areas, and double parrot-beak clamps for fi ber and plastic drums. Other features and options are available, along with off-the-shelf and custom solutions. www.liftomatic.com Website for Buying Dust Collector Filters Camfi l APC launched an eCommerce web- site to facilitate the direct purchases of its dust collector fi lters. The site will offer the company's high-performance retrofi t fi l- ters, the HemiPleat cartridges, compatible with most leading dust collector brands. HemiPleat fi lters boost the performance of industrial dust collectors because they use a patented pleating technology that ex- poses more fi lter media to the air stream, the company reported. Due to their effi cien- cy, they need to be changed out less fre- quently, saving time and maintenance costs. HemiPleat retrofi t fi lters are available in a variety of media including standard, fl ame retardant, carbon impregnated or synthetic fi bers. Visitors to the site can fi nd specifi c fi lters by entering a part num- ber or selecting their brand and model. www.camfi lapc.com Pump System Pulsation Dampener Flowrox announced the Flowrox Smart Expulse, a pump system inline pulsa- tion dampener with a Smart option. The dampener quiets fl uent processes and helps prevent pipeline ruptures, the com- pany reported. Expulse reduces banging noises by settling up to 90% of pressure peaks that can eventually lead to pipeline breakage, Flowrox reported. It saves up to 10% in pumping energy by temporarily storing it to the fl exible inner hose and fi ller gas. Flexi- ble construction facilitates system mainte- nance, leading to reduced downtime costs. The Flowrox SmartCube can control up to fi ve Expulses at a time, and their performance can be monitored using the Flowrox Malibu platform. The platform is accessible via an internet browser. Expulse can be installed on any pul- sating pump from any manufacturer. www.fl owrox.com Earthmax SR 22 Earthmax SR 42
