Patented “CentralFlow” Air Operated Diaphragm Pump delivers Improved Performance.
| |
The newly developed CentralFlow Technology pump in conjunction with a Frictionless Pivot Air Valve creates a low profile high efficiency double action diaphragm pump. The exclusive air motor and diaphragm designs increase pump efficiency and deliver non-pulsating even flow outputs. In addition, a simplified air flow circuit reduces air consumption (up to 50%) when compared with a conventional high profile manifold diaphragm pump. CentralFlow Technology permits fluid flows through the center of the new diaphragm pump. Pumping action is achieved with controlled air flows surrounding the diaphragms. This unique design eliminates manifolds resulting in a compact unit with less components and service levels. The double action, reciprocating diaphragm pump handles a broad range of fluids - clear water to highly viscous material including abrasive and chemical aggregate material. The pump can create fluid pressures equal to the air supply pressure up to 7 bars (100 psi) A choice of single and double suction models are offered. Metallic and plastic pumps are available with optional packing materials to meet various operating conditions. Two models are available, the PF50 and DF100 providing maximum outputs of 50 and 100 liters/minute. CentralFlow Technology pump applications: OEM's, Process Pumps, Drum Pumps Mobile Equipment and Process Machinery. | |

"Best Practice" Solution for truck wheel nut safety
| |
|
The largest diversified supplier of construction materials in the U.S. and Canada, LaFarge supplies cement and aggregate for residential, commercial and public work projects. A single wheel loss or repair is always terribly expensive to any business involved in "On–Time" deliveries to meet site building schedules. SafeyTrim's wheel management system both indicates and locks loose wheel nuts in position. This feature permits operators to conveniently schedule wheel re-torqueing procedures. | |
|
Each SafetyTrim ring is molded from Nylon 6-6 thermoplastic. This material is resistant to both heat and cold conditions. Nylon 6-6 has a "chemical memory" that permits it to revert back to its original shape. This feature allows it to grip wheel nuts securely "in-place" once pushed over the truck's wheels. SafetyTrim is easy to fit and remove in a workshop. Mr. Andrew Brodley, Transport Manager at LaFarge Cement UK said "Identifying wheel nut movement is one of our key objectives in controlling the safety of personnel and prevention of road traffic incidents through loss of a wheel and tire. To enhance our already robust safety systems we held trials with various wheel nut indicator systems across our fleet and soon realized the benefits of the SafetyTrim System with its dual function of easy identification and locking ability should a wheel stud become loose". He added, "The SafetyTrim System when used in conjunction with our recommended vehicle servicing and maintenance program can support wheel security and therefore having raised this as a best practice solution with LaFarge we have incorporated the SafetyTrim System across our entire cement fleet of 130 articulated vehicles". |
LaFarge Cement, UK recently adopted the SafetyTrim Wheel Security System as their "Best Practice" solution to loosening wheel nuts. The SafetyTrim nut management system is now being implemented across all the UK LaFarge Cement sites with a view to cover the other sectors of LaFarge fleets over the next year.

Don't Ignore Wheel Safety – Avoid Wheel−Off Accidents, Unscheduled Road Downtime and Stiff Penalties
Vehicle Wheel Safety System Monitors and
Locks Loose Wheel Nut in place
"At – a – Glance" Safety
Safety Trim Loose Nut Management System monitors individual wheel nuts and Locks loose nuts in Place to ensure Safe Highway Driving.
The patented "At – a – Glance" device holds loose nuts in place until they can be properly re-torqued at a convenient time and place.
Loose wheel nuts on the highway are dangerous. Reports of wheel-off incidents continue to haunt the news. It has long been recognized that proper torqueing of wheel nuts play an important role in vehicle preventative maintenance.
The Safety Trim Ring System supports preventative maintenance practices for industry namely, Technology & Maintenance Council Recommended Practice 237A, "Retorquing Guidelines for Disc Wheels". This RP details guidelines regarding the need to retorque disc wheels following installation on a vehicle.
It has long been recognized that proper vehicle wheel retorquing supports good preventative maintenance practices. However reports of Wheel-Off accidents and casualties continue to haunt the news:
If a wheel separates from a commercial vehicle in the Province of Ontario, Canada the offender is immediately considered guilty of a dangerous offense and can be fined up to $50,000 for each wheel separation. The Ontario law has survived several court challenges to its "No Defense" policy.
Further, cross border vehicles from the US to Ontario must have all vehicle wheels correctly torqued to proper wheel nut specifications by Ontario recognized trained/ certified wheel installers.
Safety Trim installation is simple, upon completion of proper wheel torqueing procedures of individual wheel nuts, simple press the durable thermoplastic Safety Trim ring over the individual wheel nuts and "You're in Control" Units available in black and chrome finishes.
Use of an inexpensive loose wheel nut indicator locking system assists owner− operators follow proper predictive maintenance procedure to achieve high ratings for wheel safety.

School Buses - A Safe Ride on a Green Machine

| Wheel SafetyTrim with loose nut indicator |
School Transportation News, 18th Annual STN EXPO info
School busses deliver their precious cargo each school day and are often taken for granted. Wheel Safety is part of the continuous improvement process.
Consider these facts:
- According to the National Safety Council, School Buses are 172 times safer than a family automobile
- 54 students, average number of pupils transported be each school bus
- 26 million students ride school buses across thousands of miles of roads and highways daily
- 3.1 billion - Total annual car fuel savings by students riding school buses (gallons) Source: The American School Bus Council
Insuring safe, economical trouble-free transportation of students to school in accordance with Federal and State regulations is the everyday goal of school organizers.
Loose wheel nuts on the highway create a dangerous situation. It has long been recognized that proper torqueing of wheel nuts play an important role in vehicle and wheel preventative maintenance.
Over many years, Federal and State school bus regulations have been established to enforce Road and Vehicle Safety standards, however, the important component that keeps vehicles moving on the road namely, the wheels,
are often overlooked. Wheels must be in peak condition at all times to ensure safe passage of students daily without incident.
Loose wheel nuts on moving vehicles create a dangerous situation, including wheel loss. These conditions have been recognized as an ongoing problem by the nationwide organization Technology & Maintenance council (TMC) whose goal of extending the boundaries of Vehicle Maintenance includes recommended practices (RP 237A) for proper wheel torqueing procedures to help alleviate this problem.
As part of the continuous improvement process for a safe and friendly environment, Safetytrimworldwide has now developed a line of SafetyTrims with school buses in mind, namely black thermoplastic nut safety rings to accommodate eight and ten set lug wheel configurations. These safety rings are ideally suited for school buses and provide quick and easy installation at garages.
Installation of a Safety Trim wheel security ring is simple, after following recommended TMC procedures to check that all individual wheel nuts are properly torqued to wheel specifications, simply press the thermoplastic Safety Trim ring firmly over the individual wheel nuts and you're in control with individual "At – a – Glance" nut safety indicators that indicate when a wheel nut is backing off.
In operation, should a wheel nut back off a quarter of a turn, a yellow individual nut indicator marker appears – this action simultaneously indicates the nut has begun to loosen and simultaneously "Locks" the offending nut on the wheel hub to stop the process.
Incorporating daily "At – a – Glance" inspections of individual school bus wheels results in operators knowing status of individual wheel nuts: result control of loose nuts, safer uninterrupted "On – The – Road" trips to school.
Take steps to keep school buses green by minimizing downtime and maximizing uptime.
Safety Trim Wheel nut management systems ensure operators achieve a high rating for wheel safety.
SafetyTrim Supports UK's Department of Transportation Wheel Safety Review
A recent article in the January issue of the Transport Operator highlighted
the problem of sub-standard truck wheels posing safety risks on the highway.
While regulations exist to enforce tire safety standards there is scant enforcement of the part of the vehicle keeping it on the road, namely the wheels.
According to the UK's Transport Operator wheels must be in peak condition to ensure road safety. SafetyTrim with its Wheel Nut Management Program strongly supports these goals.
VOSA (Vehicle and Operator Services Agency) will conduct a review to determine the extent sub-standard truck wheels play in creating unsafe situations on the road. Results could lead to improvements and stronger UK regulation of the condition of truck wheels on the road today.
SafetyTrim's loose wheel nut prevention systems welcome and support all improvements in road safety.
Wheel Nut Monitoring Program Expands Product Line
Now suitable for Vans, Buses Trucks and Trailers
SafetyTrim Ends Loose Wheel Nuts – Prevents Wheel−Offs
Charlotte, NC – March 31, 2011 – Since its introduction over a year ago, SafetyTrim has now expanded its product line to include wheel safety products for mini-vans, sprinters, small and medium buses as well as trucks and trailers.
Safety Trim is the only wheel nut management system that simultaneously indicates when a loose wheel nut condition occurs, but more importantly holds that nut in place until the wheel assembly can be re-torqued when the vehicle returns to the workshop.
Vehicle wheel loss in America and Canada is an ongoing dangerous problem. The SafetyTrim ring is pressed on the wheel and becomes an integral part of the wheel rim assembly. In operation the "At–a–Glance" Safety Device provides an individual visual signal by means of a fluorescent marker when a nut is backing off. Simultaneously the offending nut is "Locked" in position to prevent further back-off.
With these latest SafetyTrim additions of 4, 5 and 6 stud versions the safety line rings now cover mini vans, light vans, sprinters and buses as well as the original 8 and 10 stud trims for heavy duty truck and trailers.
GlobalBound Industries, LLC is an authorized North American Distributor for SafetyTrim. President Syd Gallimore stated this product line expansion is in line with the increasing emphasis on vehicle safety in North America. This innoviative product provides both road safety and economic benefits that are of immense importance to the transportation industry.
