expands its vacuum solutions

I ntroduced extended vacuum solutions portfolio for rough and
medium vacuum in Q2 2014 and announces pioneering vacuum
technology will be unveiled in early 2015.
Atlas Copco has recently introduced a new portfolio of

vacuum products which can support the specific vacuum
needs of customers across a range of markets, and many
common vacuum applications.
Beside the new range of 2-stage oil-sealed rotary vane

vacuum pumps, Atlas Copco also introduced a new range
of vacuum booster pumps, piston pumps, liquid ring pumps
and steam ejectors. This new portfolio can support industries
including mining, cement, paper, refineries and food, as well as
industries as diverse as aerospace, automotive, refrigeration,
glass, bottling, canning and woodworking.
In early 2015 an innovative, intelligent vacuum pump will be

introduced - the GHS VSD+ - representing a real leap forward
in the vacuum industry.
The GHS VSD+ Series is a new range of highly efficient,

intelligent vacuum pumps with Variable Speed Drive (VSD)
from Atlas Copco. Based on the well-known and durable plug-
and-play design principles of Atlas Copco compressors, these
vacuum pumps have been designed by vacuum engineers to
deliver peak performance at operating pressures commonly
found in industrial applications.
The GHS VSD+ series offer:

• Energy savings of around 50%
• A state-of-the-art technology, variable speed drive
(VSD) and innovative motor design combine to produce
a leap forward in efficiency to dramatically reduce
lifecycle costs.
• Significantly better performance against benchmarked
oil-sealed and dry vane vacuum pump.
• Quiet operation – Noise levels are around half that of
comparable technologies.
• Sustainable productivity due to built-in efficiency.
Conforms to energy management and environmental
commitments according to ISO 50001/14001.
• Reduced environmental impact due to ultra-high oil
retention at all operating pressures – from ultimate
pressure to atmospheric pressure.

adhering to the most stringent safety standards and in making the
facility ready for production as quickly as possible. To this end it
prepares the personnel, mobilizes machinery, conducts extensive preliminary planning and reaches agreements
with customers, partners and subcontractors.

Literarturvorstellung GESTEINE
Die neubearbeitete 2. Auflage des Buches stellt ein
umfangreiches Nachschlagewerk für Gesteine sowie ein kompaktes
Bestimmungsbuch für den Einsatz im Gelände dar. In zwei Teilen Systematik,
gliedert sich das Werk einen ersten beschreibenden Teil, in dem
Bildungsprozesse magmatischer, sedimentärer und metamorpher
Bestimmung,
Gesteine erläutert werden. Weiterhin wird die der Zusammenhang Entstehung
bzw. die Bedeutung der Plattentektonik für die gesteinsbildenden
Prozesse dargestellt. 2. vollst. neu bearb. Auflage
Schweizerbart | Stuttgart 2014
Unteranderem wird auf die wichtigsten Minerale der
Gesteinsbildung eingegangen und die Elemente der Charakterisierung,
der Klassifikation sowie der genauen Identifikation von Gesteinen
aufgezeigt. In diesem Zusammenhang werden im Detail auf die
räumlichen Mineralanordnungen und die jeweiligen Beschaffenheit
eingegangen. Dabei werden nicht nur Sachverhalte beschrieben,
sondern es werden die Sachverhalte im direkten Kontext zu den
Bildungsprozessen dargestellt. Besonders die dargestellten
Zusammenhänge vermitteln dem Leser/Anwender komplexe
Sachverhalte in detaillierter und zugleich allgemein verständlicher
Art und Weise.
Der zweite Teil des Fachbuches beschreibt in wissenschaftlicher

Form die verschiedenen Gesteinstypen und stellt gut strukturiert
und mit umfangreichen Farbfotos die einzelnen Gesteinstypen vor.
Dabei wird auf mehr als 400 verschiedenen Gesteinstypen detailliert
eingegangen.
Ergänzt wird der zweite Teil des Buches durch einen im Anhang
befindlichen Bestimmungsschlüssel für Magmatite, Sedimentite
und Metamorphite. Der Bestimmungsschlüssel ist übersichtlich und
verständlich aufgebaut, so dass auch ohne detailliertes Vorwissen
eine Bestimmung von Gesteinen möglich ist. Durch die farbigen
Markierungen an den Seitenrändern wird ein schneller und einfacher
Zugriff auf die enthaltenen Informationen über die jeweiligen
Gesteinsgruppen gewährleistet. Die Farbmarkierung sind besonders
für die Praxis im Feldeinsatz von Vorteil und erlauben schnelles Finden
gewünschter Informationen ohne aufwendiges Suchen.
Dank der Neuerungen in der 2. Auflage stellt das Werk nicht nur WEITERE INFORMATIONEN:
eine Bestimmungsliteratur für Geowissenschaftler dar, sondern
eignet sich auch für interessierte Laien und Studierende. E. Schweizerbart´sche
