CHIMICAPT®Box

To preserve and sustainably manage water is becoming imperative. In this context, the treatment of industrial liquid waste poses a major challenge to safeguard this precious resource. The CHIMICAPT®Box, a mobile filtering unit equipped with the new METALICAPT® depolluting fiber technology, effectively and innovatively revolutionizes the decontamination of industrial waters. The METALICAPT® fibers eliminate a broad spectrum of toxic and valuable metals (Cu, Ni, Zn, Pb, Au, Cn, As, Fe, Cr III, Cr VI, Mg) as well as organic pollutants (sulfates, nitrates, cyanides, dyes, pesticides). The extremely rapid capture upon contact with the fibers makes this technology suitable for batch or continuous treatment and can replace or complement existing processes. Once saturated, the fibers are regenerable and reusable, resulting in significant savings. The application of these fibers allows the elimination of waste previously considered untreatable, thus avoiding their transport to incineration centers. When combined with traditional filtering materials on industrial sites, they extend the treatment cycle and lifespan of these materials, reducing the costs of purchase and disposal of solid waste. This approach significantly contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions, primarily associated with their incineration. In some cases, waste treatment expenses could be reduced by up to 17 times compared to current expenditures

KTMBS grommet – KVT Split cable glands

The icotek split cable glands enable the transit of connectorised cables or complete cable harnesses. In contrast to conventional cable glands the connector doesn’t have to be cut off the cable in advance and be re-connected afterwards. Thus, the cable manufacturer's warranty remains and you save a lot of assembly time. 
But also electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic lines without connectors as well as corrugated conduits and hoses can be easily routed, sealed and strain relieved using split cable glands.

Judisc

Alongside tire wear and the combustion of fossil fuels, brake wear is considered to be one of the causes of the high levels of particulate matter pollution (e.g. in large cities) caused by all vehicles with combustion engines and electric motors.
Tight limits have been defined as part of the Euro 7 limits. The automotive industry therefore needs alternative technical solutions to reduce brake abrasion.
With the hard coating of brake discs, a standard process is available for conventional cast brake discs that enables a reduction in brake-related particulate emissions. 
With this pioneering process, JUNKER is providing decisive impetus in the field of brake disc grinding. After coating, the brake disc is simultaneously machined on its hard friction surfaces with two opposing grinding wheels during highly productive circumferential grinding. This innovative manufacturing process achieves consistently high machinability even with low process forces, resulting in a gentle grinding process that is unbeatably economical in terms of grinding wheel wear. Another advantage is the fast process speeds, which guarantee high productivity. Years of grinding experience have resulted in a homogeneous and mirrored surface of the friction rings, with precise axial run-out, minimal thickness deviations (DTV) and perfect parallelism.
