We now have stainless ducting in a mere 0.75mm thickness |
May 2008 |
In the interests of good health, we are slimming down at Eximo. And it's not our health that will benefit, but yours and that of your clients!
We now have a new solid ducting line that is made of stainless steel and has a wall thickness of a mere 0.75mm.
This means that it is much lighter and easier to carry, particularly for those doing tricky installations in hard to access places; it costs less; and because it is stainless steel is very suitable for food grade and pharmaceutical applications.
Speedlock S.75 is one of the thinnest gauge, stainless steel industrial ducting products available in Australia.
The development came about purely due to market demand which was looking for a light, relocatable product that didn't sacrifice strength and capability in industrial applications.
Our stainless steel range is comparatively stronger than our galvanised steel products, therefore we produce galvanised at 1mm wall thickness and stainless steel in 0.75 mm thickness, yet they are about the same strength and durability.
This is welcome news for our technical partners. Many installations can now utilise sufficient ducting systems with very small gauge steel, especially in applications where a person is working solo in putting the system together.
The thin gauge guarantees a much lighter material, so as to make it safer easier for one person to handle the equipment.
But the added bonus is the Speedlock S.75 product is very strong, so it will suit a lot of applications across the industrial spectrum.
To complement the Speedlock S.75, Eximo has also introduced the same types of accessories in stainless steel for which the market has been obtaining in the 1mm-thick, galvanised Speedlock 1 product.
These accessories include;
Straight pieces
- Bends at 90°, 60°, 45°, 30°, 15° and 7.5°,
- Telescopic pieces which can be put into ductwork so as to eliminate cutting and beating
- Branch pieces, T pieces, Y pieces
- Reducing cones
Just as importantly, we have replicated the Standard Lock Ring and Lever Lock Ring systems for the Speedlock S.75 product.
The range is finished off with hose spigots, throttle valves and blast gates (both manually operated and pneumatic).
We know that the pricing is the best in Australia so we expect a lot of immediate interest in the product.
Speedlock S.75 comes into the market as one is the physically lightest products for its strength capacity, so it is very easy and safe to put into place, fast to assemble and reconfigure, and has a high level of reusability because it is so relocatable.
