• Spray booth manufacturer Spraybake has launched an upgrading service to allow its older booths to comply with the Environmental Protection Act.
Converting a booth takes about a day. It ensures a maximum particulate emission of 10mginr1 with 15mts air velocity at discharge. An audible alarm and shutdown system will be activated if the booth comes under pressure with door seals to prevent any air escaping to the workshop. Stack heights are 8m (min) or 3m above ridge height (or to suit local authority regs), and caps or cowls are removed from stacks.
The company says that most of its booths installed after 1986 can be economically upgraded, but to convert older booths may not be cost effective. The cost of upgrading a CV booth can be as low as £3,000 depending on how well it has been maintained.
Custnmers with service con tracts will be offered a 10% discount; the waiting list is currently two weeks. • Van-Magnum is a new range of shock absorbers from Monroe designed for CVs between two and 3.5 tonnes. The range is said to cover almost 97% of the light CV pare and all units have a twoyear unlimited distance warranty.
Most of the shock absorbers are hydraulic, but gas-pressurised replacement units are available where they are speciticed as OE.
Monroe can provide detailed fitting instructions and offers a technical training programme. Other functions include printing job sheets and invoicing. Repair costs and tyre usage by vehicle are also available. The system is designed to run on UNIX but it is PC compatible and can be run on a network. If used with a single terminal the software package costs £995 in its DOS version for PCs.
