We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Aggressive Environments",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Gas and dust extractors for explosive atmospheres from
Flextraction, which we summarised at the time by saying "Flextraction has introduced a range of Fumex ATEX-approved explosive gas and dust extractor arms for potentially explosive atmospheres".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Stainless pallet trucks and stackers for hygiene from
Logitrans UK: "Logitrans has introduced stainless fully-powered pallet trucks and stackers for wet environments found in the pharmaceutical and food industries".
In March 2007, we covered the news from Garlock (Great Britain)
concerning its Performance dynamic seals
- take a look at Range of high performance dynamic seals
which says: "Garlock, a ealing technology specialist, has introduced a sealing material for its Klozure range of high performance dynamic seals, available in three grades".
Take a look also at the news release from ABB Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation), pH probes solve maintenance headaches,
as well as Data loggers sole product boast from Signatrol,
and High power rotary packet switches introduced from Aerco.
