OZ Lifting Products stainless series
OZ Lifting Products’ stainless steel range includes chain hoists, lever hoists, trolleys and beam clamps all designed for use in corrosive environments. The centerpiece of the line is the stainless steel chain hoist, which is lightweight — meaning minimal effort is required to lift loads — yet durable enough for industry’s most demanding applications. The hoists feature fully enclosed gearing; a fully machined lift wheel; a weather-proof holding brake; roller bearings on all gears and shafts; and forged stainless steel hooks with safety latches. Chain hoists, like the trolleys, are available in 1/2-, 1- and 2-ton capacities. The stainless push beam trolley fits most I, S and W beams and has precision ball-bearing trolley wheels. The beam clamps are available in 1- and 2-ton capacities. All products in the line are made from 304 stainless steel and come with individual test certificates and serial numbers. 800-749-1064; www.ozliftingproducts.com
Controlling Midges and Filter Flies in Legacy Wastewater Treatment Facilities
Midges and filter flies are more than nuisances to wastewater treatment facilities. They can deplete oxygen levels, create floating mats of pupal casings, degrade water quality, clog pipes, and, in extreme cases, transmit pathogens. These infestations pose an even greater risk for legacy facilities. Many lack modern filtration capabilities and face increased strain as urban sprawl expands nearby and flows rise with growth. Together, these conditions create an ideal environment for midge and filter fly populations to grow rapidly if left unchecked. Strike products from Central Life Sciences break the life cycle to prevent future generations from developing. All three formulations target midges and filter flies in the pupal stage. This environmentally friendly mode of action allows Strike products to be added directly into wastewater flow, making application simple, nonintrusive and compatible with day-to-day operations. 800-248-7763; www.strikeproducts.com
SEEPEX Smart Joint Access pump design
SEEPEX introduced Smart Joint Access, a new inspection-friendly pump design developed for demanding industrial environments where uptime and reliability are critical. Integrated into the BN progressive cavity pump, SJA combines a compact footprint with direct visual access to both joints via a large opening in the suction housing. This enables efficient condition assessment while ensuring precise handling of shear-sensitive, abrasive or corrosive media. Designed for space-constrained installations, the BN pump with SJA is particularly well suited for mobile manufacturing units, underground installations and skid-mounted or stationary systems. A wide range of materials is available, including stainless steel or steel housings, chrome-plated rotors and stators in NBR, EPDM or FKM, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of chemical emulsions. 937-864-7150; www.seepex.com

Smith & Loveless EVERLAST recessed pump station
Smith & Loveless’ EVERLAST rectangular recessed pump station comes as a complete, factory-built and tested system that is simple to install in both new installations and replacements of submersible pump stations. This packaged pump station incorporates premium efficient motors designed exclusively for solids-handling pumps, resulting in reduced energy consumption costs and a smaller carbon footprint. The earth-insulated interior is climate controlled, dry and designed for continuous human occupancy just a few feet underground, making it ideal for operation and maintenance in colder winter climates. The EV R2 pump station enclosure also features two independent covers with air-shocked hood lift assists, providing easy access. 913-888-5201; www.smithandloveless.com
Denso Viscotaq precast structure sealing system
Denso’s Viscotaq precast structure sealing system is engineered to deliver a watertight, flexible seal designed to stop liquid, gas and contaminant infiltration in precast concrete and manhole assemblies. The system helps preserve structural integrity, extend service life and significantly reduce long-term maintenance and repair costs. After cleaning the concrete area, installation of the Viscotaq products can begin. For smooth precast sections, ViscoMastic, a semisolid polyolefin mastic coating, is applied as a thick bead between concrete sections compressed by the weight of the incoming sections to form a continuous watertight seal. For existing seams and joints, apply ViscoSealant into the void, smooth with a putty knife, and then apply ViscoWrap over the joint. Viscotaq materials are inherently self-healing, designed with viscosity to provide permanent wetting characteristics and elasticity to offer the strength and feel of a semisolid, even under stress or settlement. 888-821-2300; www.densona.com
