New MX Series flow meters from Macnaught

Image
This is actually very big news if you are in the flow meter business of use positive displacement flow meters at your company. Australian manufacturer, Macnaught have in recent years invested an awful lot of time and money bringing all of their flow meter production in-house, in the process reshaping the way they do business. From out of this dynamic new company ethos a star has been born ! ( yes flow meter news can be exciting ) The New MX Range was launched onto the European stage recently and as the UK agent for Macnaught, Bell Flow Systems went along to see what all the fuss was about. We were hugely impressed with the host of new features and user benefits encompassed in this revolutionary new product family. Everything about this new range is set to impress and since we started stocking and selling some first units off the production line, MX models have been met with a very warm reception indeed.  Macnaught MX Series,  Sizes 1/4" to 4" MX W...

Running out of heating oil at Christmas is no joke

Image
It's happened once... it'll never happen again ! Picture the scene.. the in-laws are over for Christmas and the house is lovely and warm (for a change), wouldn't want them to get cold and find out that you're a bit mean and usually only have the heating on for an hour in the morning and once again at night. So you turned the thermostat up to "Volcanic" three days ago and now everyone is lounging around in a state of cosy inebriation. The only problem is, you've gone through most of the remaining oil in your tank and despite what you thought, the boiler won't carry on working until there are only a few millimetres left in the bottom. There's a faint whiff of oil coming from the boiler room, but the roast dinner is on schedule and the case of wine you bought on line is hardly dented. Then, hold the cashews... someone utters those terrifying words "it's getting a bit nippy in here Roger, I think I'll get my cardy... is the heating sti...

Cwoffee and Biscwits.... it's hard to say no !

Image
Just like lot's of offices up and down the British Isles, our sales dept operates a contributory milk & biscuits fund. One shiny pound gives you weekly access to hundreds of biscuity calories and several daily hits of caffeine with milk. The problem is .... what if you don't want to eat the biscuits ?  They taste great and when the biscuit tin is offered with each cup of tea or coffee, it's hard to refuse a yummy Jammie Dodger or Custard cream. (..although I can take or leave Malted Milk and Nice biscuits unless they are all that's left) With each biscuit or seven that I eat, it is slowly dawning on me that this habit is damaging my health ,well being and overall attractiveness.  I look out from my desk and casually glance at some of my colleagues walking past (names withheld to protect the innocent) I see expanding waistlines and early-onset #Manboobs aplenty .... and I don't want Moobs.  I'm too young to wear e...

A: Wait 30 minutes and resume filling, because most of the pumps on the market are rated this way. B: Wish that you had asked a specialist and been supplied with a continuously...
