The float has a non-stick finish and polished discharge tube.

Technical Innovation of the Year was won by JCB Hydradig, the Environmental/Efficiency award was given to Gardner Denver for its Triple ROBOX Energy Screw Compressor, the Project of the Year was won by Bosch Rexroth for its Offshore Wind Farm Piling

Template, Manufacturer of the Year was ABB and the award for contribution to Skills & Training went to the Bosch Rexroth Challenge. There were three other awards: Engineer of the Year, which was won by Graham Fick of Zikodrive Motor Controllers and there were two Lifetime Contribution awards which went to Derek Turnbull MBE and Gary Wyles. www.mci-awards.com

Aspen launches Max Hi-Flow tank pump

Q.E.D announces its Autopump Ultra 4.5 for landfills, featuring technology that eases wear, cleaning and maintenance. There is increased clearance between the float and discharge tube, as well as between the float and outer casing. This allows for more high solids and precipitate to be pumped without the pump stalling. The float has a non-stick finish and a polished discharge tube, which helps to slow buildup. All metal parts are made from 316 stainless steel. In addition, the

float ends on the pump are made from engineered plastics for easy cleaning. These plastics cause less friction and wear on the discharge tube. The Autopump Ultra 4.5 with a 4.5 inch diameter is larger than previous products which increases the volume pumped per stroke. This size allows the pump to achieve the same flow rates with fewer cycles, reducing wear to components inside the pump and extending its useful life, ultimately reducing maintenance and replacement costs. www.qedenv.com.

Eaton launches Xcel Series valve motors The motor’s displacements could be ideal for customers with simple design needs.

The Max Hi-Flow pump is easy to maintain, as it does not need to be removed to be serviced. Aspen's Max Hi-Flow tank pump claims to be the safest and quietest tank pump on the market. The pump replaces all Aspen Pumps’ existing tank pumps, allowing AC contractors to stock fewer pumps in their vans. The product has a low profile so is ideal for use in cassette air conditioning applications. Designed with AC contractors in mind the MAX Hi-Flow offers a range of features to make installation safe

and simple with no maintenance call outs. It is also splash proof. The pump has multiple mounting clips, as well as a built-in spirit level, and plug & play connection. It has a quick release reservoir which allows the unit to be serviced while still attached to either the wall or rod mounts. This feature makes servicing far easier and safer for AC contractors helping to avoid reservoir water spills. www.aspenpumps.com.

XL2 and XL4 motors share a three-zone design allowing bi-directional operation and a case drain facility that improves resistance to pressure spikes and extends seal and motor life. Many applications demand a mix of higher and lower rated motors for different functions. This means either having multiple suppliers or compromising price or performance of motors from one supplier. Complementing the Char-Lynn premium line, Xcel can be applied to the lower to medium duty functions, with one single supplier for all levels of motor performance.

Eaton`s Xcel series Disc Valve High Torque Low Speed motors offer options for shafts, ports, mounts and displacements to simplify and shorten the design process. XL2 motors have the option for integral valves, offering a space and weight saving alternative to separate manifolds. Dual threaded and manifold ports are also offered for flexibility. www.eaton.com/hydraulics
