Innovation awards for Busch

Busch received two international innovation awards this October: In the middle of the month Busch received the "JEC Asia Award" in Singapore. This award appreciates the innovative activity of Busch in the nano technology and the development of composites materials. Last week Busch received the "AVK Innovation Award" in Stuttgart for the same development.

 

This fall, Busch hasn’t been only active in the plastics industry. In October Busch presented its vacuum pumps and systems at nine different trade shows in Germany, USA, Poland, the Netherlands, China and Singapore.

 

 

The innovations in the nano technology segment were developed by the Swiss company Composites Busch in cooperation with Huntsman. Huntsman is the leading manufacturer of resin systems based in Basle, Switzerland. In practice the new technology was used for the creation of a new generation of Busch hockey sticks.

 

Ostensibly, hockey sticks have not much in common with vacuum pumps. However, the results of the research will be integrated into the development of new products in vacuum technology.

In Porrentruy Switzerland, Busch produces hockey sticks of carbon and fibre glass. These are formed and afterwards resin, which was developed with nano technology, is injected.

This is the first hockey stick worldwide, which consists only of one piece. This production method has also the advantage that the hockey stick can be adapted to the individual needs of a hockey player.

 

Therefore many international top hockey players order a Busch hockey stick where they have influence on the characteristics such as flexibility and the geometric form of the stick.

In other applications of plastics processing Busch vacuum technique is used. This was demonstrated at the plastics trade show Fakuma in Friedrichshafen, which also took place in October. At the exhibition Busch displayed vacuum systems, which are used for material loading at plastics processing machines.

New website for Busch France

Busch is pleased to welcome you to V2 of its website: www.busch.fr!

 

The site has a corporate design in order to harmonise Busch’s image on the web, as is already the case in the media and at trade fairs.

 

You will find the sections you may already be accustomed to browsing: ‘products’, ‘applications’, ‘systems’, ‘Busch services’, to mention but a few.

 

On the new version of the site, you will have the option of downloading various brochures available directly from the product pages!

 

 The brochures are composed of four sections:

 

•  'Type': this section gives a description of the technology of the selected vacuum pump (dry claw vacuum pump, lubricated rotary vane vacuum pump, etc.)

• ‘Characteristics’: this part shows the technical details of the selected vacuum pump

• ‘Accessories’: here you will find the list of accessories offered by Busch, along with links to quotation request and order forms!

• ‘Documentation’: this is one of the major new features, as here you will find documents available for download!

We hope you enjoy your visit to www.busch.fr version 2!
