T echnology U pdate Vacuum pipe lifting

SCHOENBECK GmbH & Co KG has introduced additional models in its vacuum pipe lifting range, incuding the ELiTE 12 & 16TE (tonnage/ electrical) vacuum pipe lifter models and the ELiTE LiTE power pack. The ELiTE 12TE vacuum pipe lifter is electrically powered by the user’s main power supply (380V/420V, 50 or 60Hz). Supplied with either a SWL of 12,000 or 16,000kg (26,500lb/35,200lb) units, both can be delivered with a central single or two outer double hook eyes for tower/gantry crane applications. The power is transported to an electrical motor, which in turn drives a vacuum pump. This model is available with radio remote control or hard wired cable remote; both can be operated from the ground floor or cabin positions. In the event of a factory power failure/power tripping, the machine has sufficient warning power to operate for an additional 8-12 hours. A power pack is loaded prior or during normal lifting operations, and is activated automatically on demand. Standard warning sirens/flash lights are incorporated, as are safety valves and -40°C solenoids for extreme cold working environments and pre start-of-work system checks. European standards ASME B30.20-22, Australian standards AS 4991, 4024 and the AS/NZS 4268 are reached or exceeded. Schoenbeck also now manufactures C hooks for steel coils with SWLs of 10,000kg to 40,000kg (22,000lb to 88,000lb). The standard model is delivered with a crane eye (size according to requirement), while alternative models can be equipped with a power swivel/rotor. The products are manufactured according to all relevant CE standards. HDPE pipes from Greece POLIECO Hellas AEBE, an affiliate company of the Polieco MPB Srl group, Greece, is an industrial producer and trader of HDPE structured wall pipes. Production consists of a wide variety of pipes in either rolls or bars from 40 to 1,200mm OD, along with fittings, manholes and jointing kits. The company’s twin-layer cable conduit, an HDPE pipe for the protection of electric and telephone underground cables, is made of two coextruded layers: the outer wall is corrugated to assure greater resistance to deflection and flexibility, while the inner wall is plain, to ease cable insertion and slipping. The twin-layer conduit is available from 40 to 200mm diameter, in coils and bars. Polieco’s Polidren twin-layer drainage pipe is a slotted HDPE pipe with a corrugated external wall and a smooth internal wall. It is available in coils for diameters between 63 and 200mm OD. The pipe has a resistance to compression higher than 300N, with a deformation of the external diameter equal to 5%. Ecopal HDPE corrugated sewage pipe is used in underground sewer ducts not under pressure, and is manufactured in compliance with the EN 13476type B standard, stiffness class corresponding to SN 4kN/m 2 or SN 8kN/m 2 . The pipe is produced in 6 or 12m bars, with jointing by a PEAD coupling and EPDM lip seal, and is available from 160 to 1,200mm diameter.
